Fujifilm Mirrorless Cameras (mine is 2nd gen XE2). First ever interchangeable camera I carry with me to all my family trips. Excellent build quality, physical controls, high quality lens options and not to mention insanely great jpegs strai

> I don't know what it is that helped me understand these concepts, twenty years after graduating, better than I did when I was studying it everyday. But I would NOT attribute it to the textbook, given it is literally the same one.

I didn't know that, learnt somthing today, Thank You! Again, as a non technical person, why a software needs access to entire internet instead of whitelisted domains specific to its requirements is beyond me, since we already know how

I am mostly non technical person but why do we need to resort to firewalls etc. if we can employ UNIX like file permission system for network access? Wouldn't it be awesome if we can allow any installed software to contact ONLY whiteli

Very close to a racist video, this :) But as a colored person, it is just a cultural difference. People just associate certain things with skin color, and depending upon geographical location it can be an advantage or a disadvantage. I was

Agree here. I use Windows at work and use full time Linux on home desktop since 7 or 8 years. Both have bugs and annoyances but one thing that turns me off on windows is how computer becomes more and more sluggish as the time goes on with e
