I've never used Resharper but Visual Studio's Intellisense is incredibly powerful. What's lacking in its autocomplete support?

It took me a long time to find the error in thompsonenteprises.com but half a second to recognize that kinneyconstructiion.com is wrong. I wonder if businesses are more at risk due to their name alone (some are more difficult to manipulate

I use Amazon (and Netflix) on my PS4 and I've never been confused about which video is free and which requires payment. If the video is free, the button says "Watch now" or something. If the video isn't free, there are o

Doesn't that just prove that 1 dog = 2 cats and not that anyone was actually willing to pay $1 million for the dog? People are spending real money, that they could equally well as spend on other things, on stocks - they're not jus

Drivers will go to where the users are, and I don't think decentralized blockchains are an implementation detail most users care about. The lack of insurance/license guarantees hasn't prevented users from flocking to Uber.

Why the hopeless reaction? Plenty of large companies have announced mergers recently and then backed off or been blocked by regulators.

It supports the same email types that Sunrise did. Disclaimer: MS employee, nothing to do with Outlook though.

You don't think his talk about soldering and "inventing" is a little suspicious considering what he actually did? Unscrew the back of a clock and put it in a box?

by robwilliams 11y ago
That's not his argument at all; he's claiming that his parents orchestrated it, not that he "got a bit overexcited." The internals of another clock were put into a box. That's not electronic puttering.

>Democracy or staying-politically-correct or show-mercy-to-the-murder are all useless to combat this level of violence, the only way to really fix it, is either they evolve and modernize quickly, or get erased by a war at a large scale.

They're planning to release a graphic novel, web comic series, and animated shorts to support Overwatch. Metzen announced it at BlizzCon just a couple days ago, so I think a lot of the writing talent has moved to Overwatch.

You're missing the point, "cool female hacker" isn't a trope.

>It is hard to fathom the grotesque nature of people. It used to be one could count on a certain amount of civility and comportment. When? Every generation has assholes. Name me a time when people were more civil than now.

The stakes are perceived as low because it's not a life-or-death decision and nobody but math students at a single school care about it.

This move is obviously them using their position in the marketplace but I would imagine they would avoid the App Store as Apple takes a significant chunk of every purchase.

That's an interesting point. When Google started pushing G+ social networks in general was all the tech media were talking about. Now it's the death of cable and the rise of streaming services. And just like Google wanted it'

You don't tip your food delivery drivers? Are you in the US?
