It seems fair enough to me. They were curious to see what happens, this happens. Giving them a free pass because they're a university would be artificially skewing the results of the research. Low trust and negative trust should be f

Honestly, I dig the styling enough that I'd buy it as a monitor if it supported Target Display still. I really do lament the loss of TDM, it was the perfect solution to the "disposable desktop" problem. Their excuse when th

I was surprised to spot apple's "magic mouse" there too. I'm fairly close to an apple fanboy, but even I'd admit non-replaceable batteries isn't compatible with "buy it for life"

I think that's really the damning bit - in the video shown, you can see ripples in the belt still moving towards the kid just after the sister runs off. The belt's jammed, the user's dismounted, and it's still trying to

This seems so cheap/easy to get right it's nuts. Get the cheapest tablet you can find that's reliable and has GPS. Whack the location app on that. Stick a todo list on it that they can push items to. Sorted. Tie the todo l

I think the big difference that's often missed is that culturally, we (UK) tend to trust the judicial system to make reasonable interpretations of laws - more so than we trust the politicians to write them. I'm sure egregious exa

One doesn't necessarily mean the other. For example, the Airport Extreme ran VxWorks and the Time Capsule ran NetBSD - having it running somewhere doesn't mean it's the next MacOS.

I have precisely one teaspoon which actually measures a teaspoon. The rest of my teaspoons are spoons used for making tea, but don't actually measure a teaspoon. However, none of my cups are actually cups. they're just cups. It a

This is pretty much where I'm at. Below 30 I put on a t-shirt. Below 20 I put on long sleeves. Below 10 I put on a jacket. I have absolutely no idea what I'm expecting when the Americans say 65. This isn't a feature of ei

It's not random, it's a very specific act. They challenge claims they don't recognise to prevent them becoming accepted as de-facto. For an analogy that'd be "closer to home", it's very similar to defend

They don't actually need permission to transit the Channel, as long as they don't stop or conduct military operations in territorial waters. The Channel is subject to the right of "innocent passage", and both China and

It looks like they've dremmelled off the heatspreader, so I think I'd agree with that - cracked like a nut.

I didn't mean to imply it's a magic number - it's a sweet spot as a cross between power/cost/efficiency. The band wasn't authorized for communications until it was already pretty much spoiled.

What people store is entirely irrelevant to the scam. It doesn't matter if you've never seen a porn flick, never visited an adult site. The template is to get a credentials dump, email the user's email, offer the password fr

It amuses me that the whole reason 2.4GHz exists as an ISM band, is that the band was too noisy to make use of. Basically microwave ovens came before the ISM band. 2.4GHz is the sweet spot for heating water with microwaves - there's a

2 emails in 3 days is too much. This is why we don't want to sign up for things. You spin us some crap about why you need it, and then use it to spam us.

Having great fun with this. Two things I thought worth mentioning .. "How to actually use the resulting json file without publishing it" would make a really nice faq item. I still haven't figured this step out yet. The down

I'm in a similar solution - 1br, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 2 people - so while everyone's been showing off their fortress of solitude, I've spent 12 months at the kitchen table. Watching people on youtube build stylish and s

Only familiar with much, much smaller boats - but that's not unusual for station-keeping (or anchoring, but I expect a moon-shaped track at anchor). To be super clear, I'm extrapolating from 30ft boats, I could be wildly wrong in

This is perfectly normal in SoM projects. Effectively the carrier board is the motherboard, and the module takes the place of a socketed CPU.

I'm less convinced it's a failure of the system, but more an expectation of the system. Just look at the replies on the twitter post. They amount to "shouldn't have done the crime then". Get raped/attacked in

I do prefer online-first, but I do miss being able to go to the bank. Self-service is great right up until it isn't. If I walk into the bank with a question, there's a near-certain chance I'll walk out with an answer. Inst

It's not tomorrow until I've been to sleep. It's not the morning until I've had a cup of coffee. Time is incredibly subjective. Clocks need to agree, but nomenclature does not.

That was my first thought too - most the article is about remediation of the site - cabling, foundations, etc. It seems sensible to me that you'd refresh an existing site rather than paying for a full remediation and then developing a

It works as stands if "the missing continent" is a singular concept (which is the premise of the story, that this undiscovered continent was believed to exist). Compare "The tenth planet hasn't been found yet" vs &q
