Interestingly they've been adding permissions over time. Now you have to approve apps for location, contacts, calendar, reminders, photos, microphone, background data access and probably some other things I've forgotten. Some of t

The algorithm was better, but it wasn't revolutionary. The main point was it specifically ignored the page titles and meta tags that got all the keyword stuffing at the time. The biggest advantage Google had was their listings were all

What sort of workflow are you using when you need to use --force every day? The company I work for has at least 50 projects all using Git and the only time we use --force is when we have to clean up a major mistake (eg a premature merge to

Quite possibly, it's a much smaller target relative to the rest of the underbody, but it's actually quite hard to set a gasoline tank on fire. If your tank was punctured while driving it's quite likely the first you'd kn

I agree with you there, there's no breakdown on model year. However, last year the 2013 Ford Fusion was recalled (over 89k sold) after 13 fires caused by engine overheating: http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-tru

Funnily enough MacOS itself used to have bluetooth proximity unlock built in, in 2005. It also could receive and send SMS on the machine and pause/resume music on phone call.

Plus it's already been done to death in XML with XSL:FO, which does the job quite nicely. I don't think it'd be too tricky to rig up an XSL:T for the XML format here to produce FO and run that through Apache FOP. LaTeX is muc

Wireless charging, perhaps, but I have a bluetooth module with embedded CPU and GPIO pins that's not much larger than 2x2cm. I'm pretty sure the reason for the size is aesthetics, rather than requirement.

There's a lot more to F# than its OCaml origins. It's obviously heavily based on OCaml, but the directions have diverged. One of the most powerful features I've found is part of the LINQ framework - the expression tree output

All phones have a factory-defined IMEI number that's broadcast as part of the connection setup. If your phone is reported stolen it will often end up on an IMEI blacklist, rendering it useless as a phone. A lot of providers share black

PHP only works like that because Apache's default process model is process-per-request. Anything event based requires moving PHP in to multiple fcgi worker processes, and then you get limited by that. A fast, non-shared interpreter cou
