If people think supersonic jets are loud, they’re in for a treat with rockets. Anyone who’s ever witnessed a launch at KSC (I have) will probably say two things: it’s awesome, and it’s LOUD. Not ear popping kind of loud, but VERY loud nonet

One of my favorite features of he Apple TV is the screensaver of flyovers in various cities across the globe. I’ll put in some ambient music and eventually the screen saver kicks in and I have a lovely ambient audio/visual experience f

Correct – even for developers in DMZ networks have a hard time getting to install things they need to work. Many organizations have convoluted processes for requesting admin access to your machine. Even if you do get access it doesn'

With no costs for uploads and $5 per every 250GB it sounds like this is actually probably a pretty nice deal for personal archiving. Of course if you're also downloading a bunch of that stuff you'll hit that 1TB transfer ceiling p

And don't forget about Star Wars: Battlefront and the upcoming Battlefront 2. Ridiculously good looking games.

I keep telling this to anyone who'll listen. I have cousins living in a small affluent US city, and every member of that family has their own car. To me as a European, that's mind boggling. At the same time, I've tried to mak

So many nasty replies. :o( (Some pretty great replies too – thanks!) I'm not a ST dev, I have no financial interests in ST becoming more expensive or changing to a (for the company) more lucrative business model. I have tried alternati

This is great, I will have my accountant look into how I can do this. Thanks for the suggestion!

I honestly can't believe I'm saying this, but: can you please enable me to buy a new license for 4.0 even though it may not even be on the road map yet? Or switch to / enable a subscriber model which is paid yearly and gives

I grew up on the Tintin series – love it! Also Asterix. I mean, magic potion that gives you super human strength, to take out the Romans? Yeah. Kids are smarter than we give them credit for. I think maybe we need to just give them the space

This. I recently started my own business, and having an accountant explain to me all the different legal ways of optimizing the tax foot print of myself and my business has definitely been an eye opener. It's also been humbling. When I

What's worse is once you've lost those short term gains, you can't actually back out since it'll actually cost you search result placements. AMP's a really shady move by Google.

The problem with spending even $1 in a large organization is that someone's going to have to sign off on it. Its always easier to go for cheaper or free then, since you can argue fiscal due diligence (even if it may not be in the long

I'd love to read more specifically how coding style makes things easier or harder. It'd be really interesting to know if there are some general rules in this space, and if so how they may or may not help sighted programmers read c

I've tried to push pretty hard for writing rationales for any project we make, and we've also tried to adopt making records of "big decisions" including a tl;dr of the context. Unfortunately, these tend to take a backsea

Whoever said anything about free services? Google's cloud services sure ain't free, nor is G Suite. I stopped using Google's free services long ago, and now am fully divested from their paid ones too. I can't possibly im

This. Having been burned by Google in the past I just closed the window when I read "24/7 support." It just seemed like a slap in the face somehow.

No way you find a nice place to live in London for £600, especially not a place of your own. If anything, you might find a room somewhere, but it's probably not going to be nice and it's likely not even going to be in London

I think maybe this is a cultural thing. In Europe it seems people associate "credit" with "being in debt" which of course isn't (necessarily) true. It just means someone else is on the line until you reconcile, and

My case isn't very different from yours, except we're in a well off country and individually pretty well off also. Goes to show vicious greed isn't necessarily a class thing. In my case, a certain person did things so despica

It's been years, so take this with a truckload of salt, but if I recall correctly the issue was licensed code , along with a mostly ad-hoc structure of the player which meant extracting this would be difficult without a total rewrite,
