As both a developer and someone who takes medicine, I'd just like to say: NO I shred my Prescription labels, and now they're basically going to be opened up to the world for some stupid developer to expose because he/she didn

Code wont disappear unless there's some magical evolution of the PC. Last time I checked, the idea of a universal computer came from Robert Turing several decades ago, and no one has even come close to revolutionizing that. Even quantu

They can claim whatever they want, but when you tunnel Netflix traffic through a VPN so all the ISP see's is encrypted traffic and bandwidth issues disappear, it removes all mystery. I've tried several VPN's to test out my th

Then don't spend time with them? Doing anything else is literally hypocritical, telling people to stop telling others what to do.

I've tried VPN'ing as well, which affected my speeds for Netflix, HBOGO (which is stupid considering I pay centuryLink for HBO), and Amazon, but it has never affected my YouTube experience. I've also noticed it's heavily

I think it's google TBH. The thing I always notice about YouTube is that the ads are NEVER slowed or impaired by throttling in any capacity. It could be peak time and ads will play at 1080p, but get to the video and they are crippled t

Personally, I don't think so. I'm still young and probably still naive about a lot of things, but I think the best leaders, in my own experience, have been those who didn't want the position, who used to be engineers themselv

How so? if it's been used for 60 years, how many records do you think would be compromised if someone gained access to the system? Millions? Billions? Sounds like a good reason to 'modernize' to me. The target breach would be

I had the same issue, but I was able to still retrieve the messages via another apple device that was still connected to the iMessage service. I was then able to disassociate my number with the service. When I had my iPhone, I had originall

I'm really starting to dislike our society, because gone are the days when you could have your own opinions and viewpoints. It may not be illegal to disagree with the majority, but you will be shamed/boycotted/treated poorly

the syntax of C++ is easy to learn in 10 days. Syntax is nothing more than a collection of rules regarding a regular language. Thinking like a programmer/engineer, and problem solving, that takes a lot longer than 10 days. I would say

Yeah, the code may work, but making changes to it may make me want to shoot myself. I work with the same types of devs, and modifying/extending their code could lead one to alcoholism. Seriously. No joke. I have quite honestly consider

There are really too many variables to have any idea. For example, in both instances I see that your traceroute identifies the hop to your router, and you're using the 192.168.1.0 private network. Since your business example shows actu
