This is one of the scripting languages used in the Source Engine. I believe the first game that supported it was Left 4 Dead 2, it was certainly the first time I heard of it. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/VSc

I believe that's just how the font is stylised.

Not sure if it'll be much help, but you might be able to find and scrape data from here: http://data.gov.uk/data/search to do something similar for the UK, I can't seem to find it though.

Very interesting read, what's even more interesting to me is that the place this article focused on is only around 10/15 minutes from where I live and I had absolutely no idea this had ever happened!

Minor nitpick, but isn't that Firefox, not Chromium in the screenshot of the web browser overlaying emacs, right after mentioning that he uses Chromium instead of Firefox because it requires a "real" window manager? Regardles

What if it had a different case? Eg x-uidh: I remember for a while the only way to change the User Agent header for iOS UIWebViews was to set the user agent header in lowercase, as long as it's after the actual header, PHP will upperca

I believe it used to be quite useful when your only option to read PDFs was Acrobat which was slow and would often lock up your browser while the plugin loaded. Now that both Firefox and Chrome include built in PDF readers and we've al

I managed to get this when downloading Firefox Aurora over the weekend while reinstalling my OS. I wasn't expecting the dark UI when I opened it. I personally found it a little garish and I couldn't immediately see a way to turn i

Exactly this. It's a really great idea but a delay of just a few hundred milliseconds is enough to make even someone who uses the oculus rift frequently feel motion sick. Viewing static images in (for example: loading screens in games)

It appears to be a pretty serious issue. The SQL injection alone is bad but the ability to run basically any PHP code through callbacks makes the problem that much worse.

I was just about to comment that sandboxed iframes aren't really well supported but it seems like I'm completely wrong, they're much better supported than I expected http://caniuse.com/#feat=iframe-sandbox St

Bought this a while back and was very impressed, definitely a worthwhile purchase if you ever spend some time without much internet access. The integration with Alfred + the fuzzy searching is just the icing on the cake. Also as a little si

That sort of syntax reminds me of Objective C's key paths. [object valueForKeyPath:@"them.public_keys.primary.bundle"]; which is part of the larger, more in depth, Key-Value coding interface. It was definitely somethin

Got a feeling the "backup your mac with Time Machine" step is a good sign of how you'll have to uninstall it.

I'd really love for Amazon to make a phone that uses the same eink screen as the kindle paperwhite. Just a basic, no frills phone with a similar long lasting battery life to the paperwhite. No doubt if they are planning a smart phone t

I'm curious how you get around normally being able to only run one instance of the iOS simulator at a time? Having a load of OS X machines for each individual stream or even virtualised hosts cannot be the case surely? Either way it&#x

As far as I'm understanding this, it seems like these Directory Tiles would be replaced over time with your own most visited websites just like they would normally. They just pad out the new tab page for new installs temporarily. Is th

HipHop Virtual Machine, it "compiles" PHP into C++. Though it needs to be written in a certain way to work correctly as I understand it.

I'm guessing, that they simulate an iCloud login and then store the cookie on their servers and then use that cookie to login in the future? But thinking about it, it's a CalDAV server which normally uses email + password to authe

This is a quite interesting, it also displays the native Bold/Italic/Underline formatting in Safari on iOS when you select text which I don't think I've ever seen before on a webpage. Is that just part and part of having

They've also said this is never going to happen. The game was designed from the start to be always online. Also apparently most of the simulation happens on their servers rather than your computer which is why it's also never going to happe

They're likely to become tradable soon as the promotion is now over and other promotional items become tradable after their promotion is over. Still, I personally doubt they'll be worth much unlike the Ear Buds you got from playing on a Mac

I'd bet on the 640x480 monitors are people using virtual machines to run Linux just to install Team Fortress 2 and get the unique item that's only available using Linux to play . Similar to the iPod Ear Buds for using a Mac to play. I'd ima

This really only matters for pages designed to look "native", in which case as long as you don't have a tap area smaller than about 44x44 pixels (like Apple has always recommended) then you shouldn't really have a problem at all. If it's a

While its possible that its for some yet unreleased Steam based console, the controller Valve patented is much more likely to be for their recently previewed Steam big picture mode that can turn any computer into a "steam box" that you can

You have to first be accepted into their beta. Next time you open Steam once they accept you, you'll see a message in the deals popup that comes up from time to time.

As far as I'm aware you can't merge Apple IDs and it has been said a few times that it isn't likely to happen, I might be wrong however. If it does exist, do you happen to know the URL as I've been looking to do this for a while.

That's probably because the CSS pixel resolution isn't matching the device/screen resolution so you're seeing the edge of two elements that don't quite match (imagine a percentage being rounded). If the page included a meta viewport tag wit

Incase anyone's curious about the stats Valve currently has from the Steam Hardware survey on Windows and Mac OS X here's a link to their pretty cool stats page which looks like its recently had a bit of a facelift: http://store.steampower
