At home I have a Chromebox machine that I only use for online banking and no other purpose. My other machines are used for the usual consumer Web activities, including Web site administration. I'm wondering if perhaps I should modify m

Yes, great work for a school project. But realistically, not a good idea. Garamond uses less ink because it is skinnier and less readable. It's a font for young eyes, or for Apple customers (long time user of Garamond).

Not too late. You have a good foundation to build upon. Just need to pick one of several possible directions: * system admin -- your linux background is impressive, but need to pick up windows admin skills (most small shops require both), f

A high salary, a hot girlfriend, nice house in Hawaii. Good relationship with parents. I'd say that is a lot to give up, in order to take the risk of being a whistleblower. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews

Yes, I was mystified as well and had to Google it. Not a commonly used acronym, at least in my circles. I searched the article for a "first use" definition or expansion, to no avail. I guess the readership knows it well.

Even Hollywood movies now have a global perspective, with storyline and characters that allow people in different regions to identify and own the experience. Wonder why CoD has not caught up with the times.

There is also the example of Evo Morales of Bolivia, who chose not to move into the Presidential Palace, and still lives in the same small modest apartment with his wife and roommates. See picture of the apartment here: http://es

So are you saying that 14 years is not a long prison sentence? By the way, that is about 10% longer than the average prison sentence for bank robbery in the US. See http://www.popcenter.org/problems/robbery_banks/4

Minetest is a C++ based Minecraft-style simulation with a clean API for modding -- with a nice little ecosystem of mods. (I am not affiliated with them. I just downloaded it a few months ago and have been tinkering with it.) http:/&#x

I like this free online version, which shows side-by-side original with corresponding English translation (derived from Lionel Giles work in 1910). The Chinese version shows characters with tooltip-style dictionary entries. Very useful if y

Yes. It is a cartel selling internet plumbing to technologists (bigco IT departments) and clue-challenged business-types as if this were some kind of perfect marketing strategy. Best spend the money (USD 500K+) on SEO, or on simply improvin

I also have fond memories of MacPaint. Don't know when it was removed. Nowadays, when I need a quick paint program on a machine (Mac or PC), I use Sumopaint ( http://www.sumopaint.com/app/ ). It uses Flash and is

But aren't the password and the salt hashed together? So a password with different salts will result in a different hashes. Therefore you have to know the salt in order to guess the password (for offline matching against a dataset of h

This is similar to .travel top-level domain. Someone thought it was a good idea, just like .museum. Since 2006, the travel.travel registry has sold 200,000 .travel domains. I am a heavy user of travel sites (Expedia, Hipmunk, hotel sites, e

If that's the case, then why not use one of the many static Web site generators? Combined with a simple CSS library like Pure.io for some of the UI elements. It is possible that some more complex UI elements (say a Calendar) will have

I think you can draw those conclusions: if you move here you can expect to double your current salary. Not covered by the poll is the fact that your living expenses will likely more than double, especially if you have to use a car to get t

Code requires a programmer to design, write, and maintain. Sometimes writing code is necessary, but often all that is needed is simple data, not complex code. HTML is data. It has value in not requiring programmers to write it. Instead it c

Also left unexplained is why Adobe needs to constantly update Reader. The PDF spec has not changed in forever. Why should this software need updating if there are no changes in functionality or spec compliance?
