Body flex is not an issue that I expected to see mentioned about an X series. I have not had an X series since the X60 but that thing had about as much flex as a brick.

I have a vague recollection of being given the choice on a 90s vintage distribution with some warning about security and password length if I did not use shadow passwords. At some point in the early 2000s we started authenticating regular u

This is off topic but the last ten or so years, the volume level at shows has gone over the top. I did indoor and outdoor shows in the 80s and 90s without plugs and worst case was a little ringing the next day. I mostly did outdoor concerts

Tabs let you define how big you want each indent to be, and spaces do not. That’s it. That’s the entire reason why tabs are WORSE.

It isn't more common because most folks don't need it it. I touch my digital watches twice per year and that is more than enough to keep them close enough. Of my two digital watches, one is 1 minute fast and the other is 45 second

I have worked with both types of managers and many in between. My perception is that the sandbagger tends to be more accurate and executives tend to respect them more. The problem for the sandbagger comes when the project is large enough to

When my daughter applied to Harvard, they had her interview with a local alum. I assume that there is a huge network of local alum all over the country screening applicants before the school even gives them any consideration. That will cert

Around the time frame of the beta versions of agent coming out in early 1995, the Windows world really surpassed unix for internet usability. Obviously netscape was netscape but agent vs tin, mirc vs ircii, or eudora vs pine, the windows so

Kids have four years to observe the security and to probe it in various ways. If they want to get a blade into the school, they will. I imagine that there are a large number that do it ever year for no other reason than the joy of exploitin

What does viable mean here? So no springs, a plastic firing pin and a plastic barrel? Then there is the metallic case required to make it do any work. I guess you could use black powder and a wooden match. Don't forget the plastic proj

Forced accents have been going on for a long time with kids. Just yesterday I was watching local news from the area where I grew up and a girl from my high school years was being interviewed. In her teens, she had a non-local accent that I

Even if the core difference is accessibility, that is huge. I see AI in 2023 as a pivotal moment similar to 1977 with personal computers, 1994 for the internet and 2007 for mobile computing. All of these technologies had a history before th

You may be right. I am on the Roku accessories page and it doesn't look like my remote is even sold any more. Mine is the voice remote with headphones but it does not have the two shortcut buttons.

Maybe I am wrong about this, and maybe the SEO junk sites would find a way to evolve, but what I really want from google is a plonk button so I can have a personal kill file for sites that I never want to see again.
