It seems unlikely that any PC manufacturer (Apple, Dell, HP etc) would force their users to open up their machines and flick the WP switch on the hard drive controller to install a firmware update.

Physical switches can easily be bypassed in the code.

How? It isn't invading anyone's privacy or personal space. The actions the bot performs are exactly the same as what humans do.

It's not too hard. There's been a fork of the project which you can find here https://github.com/d235j/360Controller .

It is definitely not a neccesary evil. Minimum wage in those countries could be increased (or one created and enforced) so that there is a dramatic improvement on the workers lives without much of an impact on the end consumer. Consider how

5 years seems like a long time to wait for a tax refund. Especially tax refunds totalling $2500+ are quite common here in Australia. We have a PAYG system too.

I'm jealous of that giant rock you're living under. How did you avoid the marketing campaign for the lego movie?

Huh. I do this all the time and it doesn't seem to affect it.

6 months? I think you're doing something wrong here. Keep teflon coated material to low temperatures, use plastic/wood/silicone utensils and avoid abrasive cleaning techniques.

"Not successful" according to conservative publication The Economist. A massive uptake in solar and wind power seems successful to me. They just need to iron out some kinks in the incentive scheme.

Lots more is relative. The number of people interested in watches at all is pretty small. Let alone for expensive ones.

The information isn't garbage though because people can purchase the shares that are being spoofed. Even if the spoofer doesn't want it to happen you can still do it. You agreed with me, you can't withdraw the offers once mat

Versioning solves this problem. It's effectively the same as people publishing follow up work. Most of the time the initial publication on things isnt comprehensive. For example in computer science people publish their idea to conferen

Depends where you live. Here in Australia twist top is king. Most bottles you buy that are <$40 from 2011 onwards are twist tops (excluding carbonated, people like to pop the cork even if it's a synthetic one). In recent trips to th

in other breaking news grass is green and water is wet. Obviously throwing more power at the problem ends up with faster execution. There's a limit to GPGPU acceleration though. It's the tiny amount of RAM. We need to adopt shared

I wish this was more specific. Take for example the page on stainless steel. I want to be told an exact recipe for how to make steel. Not a hand wavy general explanation.

Footballs and frisbees don't weigh 1kg, they are made from soft materials and don't usually get sent 100m into the air.
