Very true, but having the loophole there is beneficial for users who want to overclock it-- bug/feature debate aside. They advertised it as non-overclockable, but some users found out it was -- why bother patching? To force those users

Out of curiosity, do you now have a citizenship in Prague? I am unaware how it works for Americans living in the EU.

Nightmarish PR was probably an overstatement, but I would expect a considerable backlash from customers who will be having a free feature removed-- for no reason other than to make Intel money. Seeing as AMD are getting back into the game w

Before anybody gets excited, it's just a lousy collection of WebKit forks with some custom additions. It's also been up since 2009, seemingly.

I find the concept of an 'important tweet' very amusing. Social networks serve as distraction and personal advertising, how can it be important? Just send an email.

What possible reason could they have for this, apart from forcing users to buy their 'unlocked' chips? Is it really worth the nightmarish PR debacle they will undoubtedly face? Side note (from comments) -- apparently Intel paired

Why is it a given that compiled languages will have less security vulnerabilities than dynamic? I've worked with C, Java, PHP and Python and all have their fare share of different issues. Also, the author referring to reddit and HN as

All of the groups mentioned used spearphishing and 'browser vulnerabilities'. Shouldn't banks be more savvy of these attacks? It's not a happy thought that the safety of a given bank depends on whether it's call cen

I advise my techie and non-techie friends alike not to bother with antivirus, but rather to ensure that their files are backed up and their software is up to date. Those are the most important parts, assuming the user is above the level of

I'd hazard a guess that part of the reason is about storing multiple copies of textures at different resolutions. At least, I think it works that way on the Apple store.

This is a pretty comprehensive write-up! A helpful community (with more guides, discussion and anecdotes) can be found on http://dreamviews.com . I also recommend anybody learning to lucid dream to read the books by Stephen LaBer

Try to write an app that you know you will have trouble with, and make notes as you learn along the way.

The problem most people have is how opaque the choices are and how little control users have over them. OP in the linked thread mentions disabling /all/ telemetry options during install, but here we are.

This is a really nice idea. Shame, as the author mentions, that it never materialised.

Two key points: > From 1 Jan 2015, as a seller, you have to pay VAT in any EU buyer’s country, at that country’s VAT rate, even if you aren’t in the EU. > To prove where the buyer is, you need two non-contradictory pieces of informati

I was also rather confused at this. Why would he be liable for anything that happens with the app after it's been sold? Is this standard practise in such deals?

There has actually been research performed recently, touched on here[1] which tells us that the body does actually communicate with the brain quite a bit-- it's not so much pre-science any more. [1] http://www.scientificamer

The only issue I have with microdosing is getting a reasonably accurate measurement. The first time I tried it, a friend an I unintentionally dosed (with liquid, not tabs) to what we now estimate was ~700ug... Not quite what we were expecti

It's always nice to see a project bring more awareness and user-friendliness to such topics. I'm wondering why they're on IndieGoGo though, seeing as they mentioned having a sufficient investment in the video? Looks like key-

Seconded! For example, in the case of running two or more gmail sessions -- contrived, but I've had to do this before -- Firefox's private windows are no longer suitable because for some reason they share state with each other.

As an aside, it's still crazy and undocumented in the video-game world. God forbid you should try and play a new AAA game without the latest patches for your driver!
