I suspect that Al Gore's name had the biggest impact on the polarization of the score. He's been a polarizing figure (for whatever reason) for a very long time. Not to mention it's a "sequel". I'm not attacking

I'm part of that younger crowd, and it's probably because they associate it with a) their first CS class b) 90s Java applets on the web while growing up and c) Oracle. I love Java, and I've learned to let go of (a) and (b).

I confess: I used to get Vinyl rips of old albums for this reason on what.cd It wasn't that Vinyl is better, but the MIXES were better. They didn't compress the crap out of everything.

Nonsense: there was plenty of horrible music that came out in the past that did not stand the test of time. Ironically it's all on Spotify now for your enjoyment :)

I posted this link because I got an OSX notification through their Mac app, oddly enough.

Sorry no invites to give, unfortunately. I used what.cd briefly, but I received an invite from an admin who is a good friend of mine growing up, and he's fairly high up the chain. There's definitely the same level of love and care

Yes actually: redacted.ch is the continuation of it. Quite a large community at the moment. I would however say that the original torrents that were uploaded when they first re-opened it (it was called Pass The Headphones) a lot of the torr

Reminds me of the Warriors' slogan, "Strength in Numbers". In all seriousness though, as a daily BART commuter, I hope this doesn't become a trend. I don't think there's any reason to panic just yet -- I feel a

The hate is entirely cultural, varies from city to city, and has nothing to do with how cycling infrastructure benefits everyone. About twice a week I get called a gay explative or cut in front of while in the bike lane on purpose just to s

Growing up with an NES my religious parents (at the time) would be very wary of what games they would purchase for me. There was a Christian bookstore that would sell unlicensed Widsom Tree [0] Christian games and they were all kinds of jan

I agree with you 100%, but people who complain about immigration would argue that they're taking away the opportunities for Americans for the same education / positions. Heck, that's what they say about undocumented migrant w

Very similar story to me: I played Starcraft 2 throughout college in a competitive fashion and made me feel worse. There was a period of time after that where after quitting I wouldn't touch a video game. I've since picked up a Ni

I bought an i7 desktop CPU from 2008 and have absolutely no inkling or reason to upgrade. I never thought I would be using the same CPU for almost 10 years, but here we are.

My guess is that the CPU "leap" will be in power efficiency rather than raw performance. My guess is that the returns for each jump in CPU power these days isn't helping the vast majority of users, but they certainly care abo

I thought it was mostly painless. Vast majority of applications provided an Intel binary right away without many issues. Rosetta wasn't too terrible for simple tasks for the rest of them.

As a former Hackintosher, there's the fun of it being something that's not supposed to work (sticking it to the man, one would say). For me personally, I used to have a full-fledged personal recording studio, and the price of a Ma

I work in enterprise, and our use case for JIRA is so utterly complex to meet all of the requirements / standards that I cannot even imagine how a migration to Trello would work. I see this acquisition as both a) a smaller alternative

Can't speak for Premiere, but I have a really old copy of Photoshop (7.0) that I run on Wine and it has all of the features I need.

My one use case is that I have a legal copy of Photoshop 7.0 from the early 2000s that is my main image editing software that I'm still using on an almost weekly basis thanks to Wine.

I would agree with you 100%, but first you'll have to convince Comcast to lift my 1TB data cap. :)
