I'm completely unaware of the VLC shuffle issue, but a surprising number of media players implement "shuffle" in non-obvious ways. Some shuffle your playlist and always play through it in that order (over and over again, if

I dropped 40 lbs in 5 weeks when I changed my diet to solely fruits and vegetables (no gluten or dairy). Dropped from 185 to 145 with no exercise. The point wasn't to lose weight but to eliminate most of the possible food allergies (an

OP probably has a gluten sensitivity. It causes inflammation and cuttiing it out of your diet like that can cause dramatic weight loss, even without exercise.

As an aside on terminology, why do we use the terms "skinny" and "fat"? Shouldn't it be "short" and "tall" since code is represented vertically?

Or it's just the cops, and unlike a password or pin or pattern, they can actually physically force your authentication out of you with a single finger press.

Maybe change the title then?

Yeah just fingerprint means someone could use your finger to unlock the phone while you're asleep in a cell / drugged / restrained / knocked out.

Yup, I totally agree. And I don't think people should stop criticizing at all, I think it's a valuable thing to do and is part of bringing about the change we want to see. I just wish there was less overblown under-researched clic

Having attended every PAX on the west coast, I can safely say that taking the opinions of twitter trolls as a barometer for the culture of PAX is a grave mistake. It's a very welcoming community that generally looks down on trolls, mis

I'm surprised no one has recommended MultiTable yet. They sell a sturdy, adjustable, standing desk for under $500. The only problem (feature?) is that it doesn't come with a table top. I solved for that by buying one from IKEA for

Or people would go "well, that sucks, not much I can do about it" and business continues as normal. But that's the cynic in me in talking.
