Is that a serious question? I trust DDG infinitely more than I trust google, because google openly admits they are abusing me where as DDG states in clear writing that they are not. I mean it is possible that DDG is lying, but what could th

Joel Zimmerman, aka Deadmau5. You might see a macbook sitting on stage once in a while, but saying that he uses it to do his production would be no more accurate than saying he uses his watch to control the lights (he actually uses racks of

The lack of available hardware to test hasn't stopped PC manufactures from supporting media larger than available for a given interface. There are occasionally hiccups, like the whole debacle where the MBR partition table (from 1893) w
