Having never used GAE, it would nice if someone could expand M/S and HRD for me. It looks like OP of the bug-report is using a depreciated feature/program which according to the Project Member is causing latency issues at a specific time da

Just tried after your seeing your comment. It throws out a useless generic error "We are experiencing problems with our site...". I think it has something to do with Cookie/ViewState validation to prevent automated attacks. Fix: Clicked on

Interesting, din't know that it came with a Wacom stylus, but still android is far from a full OS. Maybe if you can throw in Ubuntu it might change people's mind. Also, not sure how Sketchbook Pro compares with its android app, is it a cute

This is true of any cross platform language, the job of making the exploit work across different OS gets efficiently transferred to the compiler. One of the main reasons I am worried if webkit becomes monolithic, zero day exploits, there wi

Yes you can and there are other tricks too. However, since its not the default behavior and given that most people don't realize it when setting up forwarding, it can be considered a bug.

I think it has to do with that post where someone missed out on important legal mails because gmail chose to only forward those mails that passed their spam test.

Yes it does to a good extend. Under your analogy, the key to internet would be held by VeriSign, since all SSL signing must chain back to their signature. The key better be held by a company that I can hold responsible for in court if somet

Ignoring your vibe for conspiracy theory, I was personally looking forward to a solution like secure boot. Imagine securing your entire system with something like Truecrypt, using multiple layers of encryption, only to be defeated by a 1KB

Its the same old fanboyisms, brand loyalty, hivemind hatred all mixed into one, ie a weakness of human trait to look at things subjectively. Remember when Nexus 4 got sold out? You din't see comments like "ohh look they intentionally put &#

This really rewards Amazon more than anyone else in the ecosystem. Let's see: 1) You have to buy these "Virtual Currencies" and since they can only be used within the ecosystem and cannot be reversed, you will be psychologically attuned to,

I really hate it when some apps require unnecessary permissions. Why would a game require access to my contacts or my personal photos and videos? Flicks me into the paranoid mode, especially since the news about Facebook and other major com

Let's add it up: 128GB (not GiB) = 119GiB of actual space. System requirement to install Microsoft Office = 3.0 GiB of space System requirement to install Windows 8 Pro = 20.0 GiB of space (119GiB - 3.0GiB - 20GiB) = 96GiB of usable space.

I don't think storage is something that is standing in the way for tablets to replace portable computers. If it was, all you need to do is to slap in cloud storage and voila, theoretically unlimited space. Its more to do with productivity a

and sadly it won't be in the future. New Intel-wifi cards have them blocked[1], their new drivers even go out of the way to modify/intercept Windows from doing it from the software side. Won't be long until other manufacturers follow suit.

It is pretty interesting that most people don't take compatibility seriously. There is the famous saying, "If it ain't broken don't fix it" and another "Move forward", compatibility I feel is the link between the two, moving forward while n
