Those ignorant people are your users too, and you're still being a dick by selling them out, no matter how you try to rationalize around it.

Ctrl+W also does that, and is much easier on the fingers (unless your hands are huge).

That is actually what I thought this OpenPDF thing was. I feel that the name is very unfortunately chosen - it's too generic, should have had a "J" in it at least to denote that it is a Java library. JOpenPDF, perhaps.

My parents rationalize this by saying that they want to have something to reminisce about once they're too old to travel or even to move around without pains. On the other hand, the photos they take on their travels do not end up on an

Well, of course. No AI would tolerate all the workplace abuse, rampant "bro culture" and endless hours of "mandatory voluntary" crunch time that happens in game development companies, including Rockstar Games Inc. https

Slightly off-topic, but having the donate button placed first on the page, even before I can read what I'd be donating to, seems a bit greedy.

That sounds like something horrible that one never should have needed to bother with in the first place. Like saying that with this new car, I no longer bother checking whether the wheels aren't about to fall off. :)

Vista, after a few service packs, was somewhat usable, but still a performance hog. It felt like an early alpha build of Win7 (once that came out).

Oh, WinME had much worse issues than just some crash here or there. As someone who at that time made a living by (among other things) deploying, maintaining and repairing Windows PCs at various small business offices, it was a nightmare. Ev

Except that the article is only about one particular reason the author finds PGP use uncomfortable. It doesn't deal with any "brokenness of PGP" at all.

Sounds like you were bitten by the technical debt that was created by placing an important database behind a single point of failure - a single physical server. Of course something would break sooner or later, PA-RISC and Itanium servers we

Or perhaps you'll feel comfortable and "at home" anywhere you happen to be. It's very individual.

A combination "20 - 40 - 60" on a dial that goes from 1 to 60... Sounds like an equivalent of a factory-default admin/admin login credentials. I wonder if it really was the default combination that the safe was bought with, a

Not quite. While I wouldn't trust a random stranger on the street with e.g. my money or private data. However, I have no problem trusting them to honestly and truthfully answer questions like "how do I get to X from here?" or

Yes, of course, I agree with you. However, the quote I was replying to had the word "longer", and not the word "forever" in it. And that's exactly what healthy lifestyle gives you - not miracles, but a definite incr

Yes, Steam Greenlight (whatever it's called these days) is a cute idea, but for every gem like the games you mention, there are hundreds if not thousands of crap, minimal effort "games", many of them in a barely working state

Years (decades?) ago, it was standard practice to include a watermark text that said something like "Alpha version footage, not representative of final release" in trailers, and everybody was ok with it. It was honest and straight

Is this so? Can this kernel panic also be triggered in TCP connections initiated by the victim? I can't find a conclusive mention of this anywhere. As each direction of a TCP connection has its own MSS, it would make sense that an atta
