You mean like happened with Gnome 3 and completely pissed off a large portion of the user base? I'm an advocate for sane defaults, but 'opinionated design' doesn't always nail the mark.

I also found that surprising. There are a lot of benefits to having an EU passport-the biggest being living AND working in any of the EU countries without a visa. I'm guessing that's why they're also the most expensive.

In my opinion, and without going into too much detail, I feel like the reluctance of hiring remote workers comes down to not wanting to put in the effort to keep up communication. I.E. the managers don't want to have to bother emailing

Slightly misleading, as he originally built this in 2007, and must have not updated the firmware since Sony removed the ability to install Linux on the PS3 years ago. This couldn't be replicated now without either finding old, unupdate

It appears to be a visa prepaid credit card. See here: https://www.clinkle.com/legal/bancorp-cardholder-agreement Treats sound like gamification mixed with gambling, but you can only give the rewards to others?? Check

I find myself suggesting this to people often, but I'm excited about the Mooltipass[0], an offline password keeper crowd developed on Hackaday. Hope to get one when they've ironed out the bugs and finally move to random passwords.

Excellent looking tool. Hope to test it out with some large datasets and see how well it does.

You're not giving enough context to give very good advice. Here's some basic ideas. To design the shape, you can use a computer 3D CAD program, such as Inventor, SolidWorks, etc. Alternatively, you can just use foam, wax, wood, or

I would actually kind of like a product like this, so I'm not trying to be dismissive, but I have some reservations. It will be interesting to see what kind of range will be actually possible. Has an actual prototype been made? Why use

Dimension data is an important part of the warehouse management system for any automated system. The size data will be used to figure out how the order should be shipped, but in my experience, it doesn't tell the packer how to place it

The constant and intentional dumbing down of the permissions model (taking away App Ops before this) is a very unfortunate and mass market oriented move from Google. I got rid of a lot of apps when App Ops was gone and I couldn't tweak

This article is from the end of 2012. Has anything changed? Edit: Not much: http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/librecad-gets-nativ... but now QCAD can import some features of older versions of DWG.

Using trash bags meant for trash compactors is a big step up in puncture resistance. They are typically 2-3times thicker than the typical trash bags you find and not much bigger or heavier when packed.

I went from dd-wrt on a WRT54G to a TP-LINK TL-WR841NR with OpenWRT and it feels almost exactly the same. I even setup my network with the exact same SSID and password and my devices acted like nothing changed.

This is an important point. The direction of the fibers makes a big difference. The basic method of strengthening carbon fiber weave (which is weaved at 90degree angles) is to alternate the layers so that they are 45 degrees apart, if layin
