That sounds like an issue with the screen reader, surely? CamelCase is arguably somewhat less readable for the seeing than underscore_separated_words, as the underscore can be read practically as a space. Presumably, you'd need a syllable t

I'm not sure Eton is really applicable here, since the income of your parents matters a whole lot more than the application process (and Eton suffer for it in the league tables) — and whilst you may argue that Ivy League schools do just tha

Worth wondering whether films that they protect using anti-pirating measures might take a hit on sales. Difficult to test, because if a film's likely to be successful, people are likely to find ways to pirate it successfully.

You're confused. These aren't DM's, they're public replies. Direct messages are sent using a "d [username]" instead of the "@[username]" syntax.

A badly designed interface will still be hiding desirable features behind an impenetrable "menu" option, only now you have to use the capacitive touch screen in order to reach it. The physical button was at least consistent and easier to pr

Game development especially has a lot of well meaning customers who haven't got a clue what they're talking about (a lot of kids). Whilst he probably should have listened, it's understandable why he may have dismissed a random on twitter.

Yes, it seems obvious to web developers and developers that are used to working with databases and CRUD apps, but that's one set of skills over a particular domain. Game development tends to emphasise a whole different set of skills — those

I think that the fact that it's a cultural reference and, on its own, not an interesting contribution might be why it's getting downmodded, rather than people not getting the reference.

So for the change log to actually inform you of any changes, you had to know what was in it before? Either I'm confused, or that's not a very helpful changelog.

I remember Sunny Delight as a kid (shows how young I am, I guess), but that didn't taste anything like orange juice, or the flavourings they put in to orange juice. More like squash? It's so sweet that you would be unlikely to confuse with

If this is the case, wouldn't it be cheaper to take sweetened water, add food colouring and flavouring? I assume someone's probably doing it already.

That is an opt-in list of sites to ban. My ISP, for instance, does not block those sites, and no-one has been ordered to follow the list. It's a bit different than being ordered by a judge using the new DEA legislation.

That sounds fine, and what I would expect too. However, being tagged in one photo in an album shouldn't be enough to be suddenly allowed access to view every photo in the album regardless of privacy settings on that album. Disclaimer: I hav

Out of interest, does Spotify (the free version) for US have the 5 plays limit on each song? Having limited numbers of hours I can deal with, but after they introduced limited plays on Spotify, I practically never used it again after my pre

I didn't spot any panning at all - just how abruptly focus had changed. However, there were quite a few jumps where panning would have been more appropriate (imo). One trick to getting smooth pans with a cheap tripod is to use a rubber band

Isn't that irrelevant? It doesn't stop them from being right, and it's a little hard to skew losing advertisers as a good thing...

It's a peer to peer program, storing local copies of songs (in an obsfucated format you can't access), so it really needs some kind of local presence.
