It was probably easier to get rid the first time than it would be a second time given the increase in air travel and density in population centers that has occurred since then.

If you're not going to be on the app store any time soon, those of us who have not chosen to pay the $99 to compile code for the devices we own might really appreciate an ipa. I completely understand if you'd rather wait and see if you can

Another offender is Netflix on the PS3: The PS3 has a 24p mode (for Blueray playback) but the Netflix app appears run at 60Hz.

Actually, according to Ars, it looks like they're not even buying the rights, as in the exclusive rights, as enumerated by the copyright acts (which, importantly, do not include a specific the right to sue). http://arstechnica.com/tech-pol

It's not like coal's figures have deaths attributable to massive CO2 emissions dramatically changing the climate over the next couple centuries factored into them either.

Apparently, TerraPower's TWR design doesn't actually burn from the top down like a candle anymore. I guess it's easier to put all the cooling apparati around one criticality region and then move the fuel through. http://en.wikipedia.org/wi

Neither the command on the page, nor the script it downloads, use sudo (or su for that matter). Just invoking 'sh' really should not give you a root shell under normal circumstances. You can try running 'echo "whoami" | sh | grep root' to v

I've been using Instapaper (mostly on programming related blog posts [standard WP/Blogger templates] and major magazine articles [Vanity Fair, Economist, etc]) for a while and rarely found this to be the case. It has almost always stripped

I think you mean some more engineers with world-class expertise in network storage: the fact that EBS/S3 have worked as well as they have at scale should indicate they have some already. Sure, they have failures/slowdowns etc, but they ar

Using stricter compiler flags is often the fastest and easiest way to catch such bugs. Here at CMU, we usually require all assignments for undergrad C/C++ courses to compile with no warnings using "gcc -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Wextra". If you

If they change the TOS, you'll have a chance to jump for free. See article seven of the CTIA's Consumer Code for Wireless Service ( http://files.ctia.org/pdf/The_Code.pdf ): "Carriers will not modify the material terms of their subscribers’

But it's faster that way, and you don't have to store the name in every row like with those No-Seequill whatnots. </sarcasm>

Because 2, the exponent in that expression, is a constant. Exponential growth would be 2^m.

From my experience at CMU, I'd say that isn't likely: The administration is very cautious and conservative most of the time, and if they had been involved, this would have,at the very least, taken weeks to happen. That said, the CS departme

Because it's probably not actually "wholly independent". Software developers are thought workers, and you don't get to just check your brain at the door when you clock out like you could your tools or a laptop. Thus, any similar* work you d

But this kind of thing exists: charities and fundraisers are nothing new. The fact that it is their reddit taking action, and not some church group or NGO, is probably what motivates at least some of the participants.

Well, it's "not much of a response" since it doesn't respond to his concerns. Inviting him to give further feedback is great and all, but while it acknowledged his issues with the Archive paywall (just by saying they could tune it -- not wi
