Is there an app that does have that autocomplete in the screen shot?

by mkhalil 12y ago
I don't even have the app, but I really don't like this argument if it has to do with "buying it again". It's not easy writing an application for iOS even if you have one for MAC. They are going to have different fe

It all looks really promising. Love it. I'm a little worried about "nameof" in the hand of amateur programmers though. Efficiency aside (because it's not efficient), code readability might take a hit.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a "oh we found a bug, lets leave it" backdoor.

Interesting comment: "I am a travel writer. I was once speaking to a guidebook writer in Thailand who told me under pressure to hit a deadline he wrote a review for a guidebook for a German restaurant, though he had not eaten there. He

Sure. Flashed it with SE50UY04, the 50 inch models, firmware. Just extracted the zip, put the install.img on a FAT32 formatted USB drive, and went into the secret menu (with the menu open press 0000) and updated the firmware. After that I s

Just got up a Seiki 39" from Walmart.com for $329. After some flashing and calibration, its a beast! Highly recommended for day to day/dev use. Gaming, too, but not in 4k. It can do 1080p 120hz.

If your complaining about being on camera in public spaces, that a whole separate issue. My opinion: It's more helpful than hurtful. The benefits far outweigh the cost. But that's a discussion for another day.

I agree that there is public interest in filming cops. But... Being under a camera all day isn't something that correlates with being a cop. No matter how much you want it to be. If you say "Hey cop, I'm going to film you all

I applaud the effort and it may help in significant violations of human rights. As far as general harassment goes, not sure this is gonna help much. What do you expect to happen when someone gets harassed? Who is he going to call? The polic

"Who watches the watchers?" I hope you realize that does that one thing you question. Also, police encounters are generally in the public, where you shouldn't expect privacy in the first place. You can't ask for the righ

I consider myself a expert in .NET/C# development, and it did not take no where NEAR 10,000 hours. 3000 hours is a fair estimate. 4000 to be on the safe side. I was good after 1000 though, so I'd have to agree with this "rule

I hate to see things like this. I feel horrible for anyone who has to face the realization that there going to actually have to pay a online-terrorist money to get their data back. Here's to hoping this will only make the tech industry

They wouldn't really have anything to hold ransom. Router's usually have hardware reset switches in the back too. Not saying it's not possible, but little to gain by holding it randsom. If they hacked the router, they'd

Not sure if you're reading the slides correctly. Company Organization Chart, Company Handbook, Company Values. This isn't something "Bob" comes up with.

Pretty sure he wasn't asking a normal question, he was obviously implying they he didn't believe there monitors were good in the first place. Which is wrong. They have their good monitors and their bad ones.

They should keep their browser open. Most people that use Mozilla know why they're using it. They would also understand how to install an official Firefox plugin to get crappy EME websites to work.

I am happy to hear more people understanding the notion that every dollar you spend is a vote. No matter what one may believe, being ignorant to the fact that business and politics have a lot to do with each other does not make you innocent
