Not saying it is fair (maybe it is, maybe not), but the name "Georgia Tech" carries more weight on a resume.

The battery life on the 14 inch model is 6+ hours of streaming video out of the box which isn't bad at all I think. The real question is how well it holds up over time. Also, it is one of the few laptops available with the new 10X0 vid

Oh wow, thanks for that info. Really good to know as I am in the market for a high end laptop and the 32gb xps was on my short list. I guess I'll be sticking with the 16gb version unless the kaby lake processors in the new xps 15s solv

How does the Dell XPS 15in or the Razer Blade laptops have 32gb of ram if Intel doesn't support that much? Do they use different chips in their laptops?

I realize this is probably not what you meant when asking for book suggestions on HN, but since you didn't specify: If you're into 2D action / sci-fi / dystopian fiction (or to be honest, if you're into fantasy&#x2F

Wonder what would happen if you just gave the cat unlimited access to a large bowl of unguarded food all day every day. Would the cat eventually self-regulate the amount it ate? Or would you just end up with a really fat cat? Or both to som

Random brain dump of questions since I haven't had a chance to actually try a VR headset yet: - Outside of car games, space sims, or any other game where the main character is mostly sitting down, does VR work well? - Apart from games

There is no point. It is a thought experiment. I'm wondering how much value the different parts of their company actually add to the bottom line. I'm thinking that despite "losing money" on a lot of their stuff, it does

I always wondered if Google just fired all their engineers except a few top guys, and focused on their core money making products like search / ads / etc. and tried to stay as lean as possible (lean being a relative term), how muc

Is this at a specific location or something? From what I can tell, NYC and Seattle just do the standard code test on your own time (and allow you to use whatever external resources you want) then if you pass that, a day of in person intervi

I mean if it helps you sleep at night after you pirate a bunch of stuff sure, but ultimately there are people out there who want a digital thing and have the money to buy it. Some percentage of those people pirate the thing and money is los

You would have other charges added in addition to the actual taking of the money which related to how threatening you were at the time of the robbery. I'm saying the actually robbery charges being on par with distributing copyright con

I mean, bank robbery directly affects $X. It is more difficult to determine how much money is "stolen" when someone violates copyright law, but ultimately if it is more than $X why shouldn't the sentencing be on par with or m

Same question. What advantages does C# the language have vs Java the language? Do people perceive Java as playing "catch up" with other languages? e: I only ask because I've always heard the opposite.

Is Java currently behind C# in any capacity? Not that a shot in the arm wouldn't be good for Oracle, but Java definitely still reigns supreme at the moment, despite Oracle's involvement. http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-

They probably assume if you make as spam, you will also be unresponsive to the email. If you are responsive they can say that overrides the marking as spam action.

Why are GIFs in articles a thing? Can anyone focus on the words while they are looping in the corner of your eye? I always open the inspector and delete the elements, but it is annoying to do that every time.

This was written 4 days ago and says Bioshock Infinite sold 4.3 million units, yet the Wikipedia page says it has sold 11 million copies. Where is the disconnect? Seems like a huge discrepancy. Is "units" normalized to full price

I mean, not for nothing, but you do know you can still buy the old style MBP with 2x usb3 and an hdmi port, right? You don't have to get the new style ones that they announced. That said, I hear you. I wanted a 32gb model with crazy go
