I include an "Instant Login" link in each mail so the users don't need to remember their password. It contains a unique time-sensitive token to identify the user and instantly sign them in (much like a password reset). I lear

Sorry could you explain how I'm misreading it? As far as I can tell, all natural gas resources has a percentage of Helium. Since we won't be running out of natural gas anytime soon, we won't be running out of extractable Heli

The wikipedia article is a good start, follow through to the sources for in depth information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium#Modern_extraction_and_di... "According to helium conservationists like Robert Cole

We're not running out of Helium, that's a common misconception. The price just doesn't reflect the extraction cost at the moment and it's not being extracted from the natural gas resources it is found in.

Theoretically we're running out of Helium, just like we're theoretically running out of oil, but actually we've still got plenty left. Because of the US dumping their stocks the price has been artificially low making it unpro

No it isn't. Every server runs SSH, so this is more like there's a field, and you know there's a tank in the field, but you can't see it. The next thing you do then is take out your standard radar device which scans the

Everything in the history of Apple has been "30%" more expensive or more outside the US than inside. This is completely no surprise and in line with every other pricing strategy of Apple before.

That's true, I shouldn't have generalized. Maybe how well a Checkov's gun is "integrated" is a mark of the quality of the movie, and the fact that it's obvious isn't what kills the movie for me, but just t

To anyone who doesn't know what this is - don't read it. It wil make 99% of the movies from now on very much predictable to you. Although most might already be subconciously aware of this trick, having it spelled out for you will

I think they took the samples from the edge of a full resolution image. One difference between good and cheap lenses is that the center of the image will always be good, while on the edges more and more distortion might happen in the cheap

First of all, there's no full resolution examples so you wouldn't be able to tell if this is "SLR quality" or not, whatever that means. The photographer has nothing to do with the quality of the lens: the best photograph

If you read the comments on the report (and specifically Jing's comments, who works for Adobe), you'll notice that they imply it will never be solved ever. The bug report was written a few days after the release of the player that

This is UI, as a user there's no right or wrong. The designer should accommodate you clicking on the "Show Me" link. I guess that way this works how you would expect it.

Yep, although it's still 10 times better than their old interface. It's been a couple of months now I think (?) since the redesign and if they had been proactive about it, most of these should have been fixed already. It makes me

But there's no such thing as instruction buttons. It's not like software is a physical thing where you can't easily change where buttons point to. What makes more sense to your mom: that the huge button labeled "Create a

The edge cases are enormous - smartphones aren't always running on the same time, and their internet connection delays might be different (one on WiFi, the other on Edge) so syncing time would be difficult. One might give a location ba

I agree. You can't look at it as a programming language. We also learned it in school and at some point I flipped a switch and it was remarkably easy to use it after a few failures. I thought it was very exciting to build digital circu

This makes me sad. The notifications that the Gmail app provides also show up for mails that are filtered outside the inbox. For example "junk" mails or social media notifications also show up even though they never reach my inbox

It fixes it somewhat, depending how far the person will go to claim those votes: iirc you get a week to vote, and the last vote you make counts. So even though your father might stand next to you and watch as you vote for his candidate, you

I don't agree with that last sentence though. It's not more complex because you don't need to spread booths all around the country, get volunteers to sit a whole day at the booths, secure the ballots, count the ballots, recou
