The difference usually lies within addiction and the knowledge of one’s addiction to it. If you knew you were addicted to cigarettes and dissatisfied with that addiction, for example, you’d likely feel a wave of depression after lighting up

That so-called “cabal” determines what content exists on their network of connected machines, not what content goes online . The nature of the Internet is such that it is not one machine, nor a small group of machines, that decides what co

Which is a legitimate fear, and substantial effort should go into preventing such bugs, but any sufficiently determined person doesn't need to exploit a software bug to be able to kill others. ISIS appears to be quite effective at simp

I think the question you're fundamentally asking is "are we ready for imperfect systems with potential vulnerabilities?", and the answer to that question has been the same since the advent of software.

And, to be fair, most users probably want Google to be their default. Considering how heavily Mozilla’s been recently touting Firefox as the privacy-oriented alternative to Chrome (in Facebook ads, and probably elsewhere), to me it makes Mo

I haven’t had any lag in text entry, but I ran the Windows version for a while (making sure I gave it plenty of time to build up a cache) and my general perception is that Chrome is still faster. I like the idea of switching to Firefox a lo

To my knowledge PCBs aren't a significant concern in wild-caught fish. They may be somewhat more prevalent in farm-raised fish, which typically have a lower concentration of vitamin D anyway (and would therefore be of less benefit). Su

In the case of `auto foo = bar(baz);`, while specifying the type of the returned value may be useful in many cases, it would also require modification should the return type of `bar` change in the future. So the type specificity can come wi

I'm usually the first to blast excess regulation, but note that this is only a labeling issue — the CFIA is not telling you what you cannot eat, but what a product can be described as. I can understand the appeal of a government mandat
