   Does your ISP actually assign you multiple Internet addresses for every device in your home or do you still use NAT? If you still use NAT, what the heck is the point in using IPv6 at home?

   The reason tablets appeal to me is that a large part of my time is spent on reading technical books and documents, and in those times I really want the keyboard to just go away. The Surface Pro 3 has the screen size I was dreaming about on

   Yes, but ADHD is much more than just not being able to sit still all day. There are working memory problems, time management problems and much much more. It affects interpersonal relationships, job performance and many other parts of a pers

   You're confusing methylphenidate (active ingredient in Ritalin/Concerta) and amphetamine salts which are used in the other family of stimulants such as Adderall, Vyvanse, etc...

   ADHD is a grossly mislabled condition. It should be more appropriately called "Executive function disorder"[1]. Kids who have the hyperactive "subtype" of ADHD tend to move non-stop to the point where they injure themsel

    Given the amount of cruft OpenGL currently carries, the massive changes (read: rewrite) that will require for it to be a sane modern graphics API and the fact that several Khronos members that would probably not want any significant changes

    Thanks. Is there any way to efficiently track the releases of these journals, or at least interesting articles in the fields I'm interested in?

    The black font over the grey window. The buttons with the cartoon icons. The hideous tray icons. Sheer ugliness. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Unity 7 is the most polished looking Linux desktop.

    How does Qiqqa compare to Zotero? According to an old (2010) post by the author of Qiqqa ( https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/13326/qiqqa-and-pdfs/ ): It's Jimme here. I am the guy building Qiqqa.

    How does Mendeley help to keep up with the state of research? I thought it just lets you manage the papers you read. Does it actually give you access to paywalled papers? By the way, as a non-academic, I've always wondered how I could

    I agree. I think that in Computer Science in particular you can completely move to video recorded lectures. Some say that we need live lectures so that people could ask questions, but from my experience, the questions asked during lectures

    I think this whole exercise gives you a false sense of security. The thing is, there's a closed-source firmware running on the baseband processor which can do rather nefarious things: https://www.fsf.org/blogs/comm

    Wow, coLinux looks very interesting, but it also seems like they don't have any release for 3.x kernels. Is the project dead?

    I agree with you. I thought I was buying that book to read about US history, but it's more of an alternate US history for those who already know US history pretty well. His writing style also annoyed me very much as he'd jump from

    That blog post mentions ATA and SCSI patches, but only a SCSI patch was merged, any idea why?
