It is, however I find that sometimes I get a sore and after a couple hours of use and I have to switch to a mouse.

The only technically interesting thing here is the lousy remote management setup BT seems to be using. It's not mentioned in the article, but I'm not aware of a DSL provider in North America NOT using TR-69 to remotely manage the

Given how huge the mobile phone industry, it don't understand why some manufacturer* hasn't carved out a niche for keyboard phones. Since all the manufactures have arrived at the roughly the same form factor and spec, maybe we&#

“The lack of growth there comes from Twitter’s relative lack of innovation,” said Nate Elliott, an analyst at Forrester who studies social media. “The experience on Twitter today is the same experience people have always had on Twitter.” I

Other than for altruistic or PR reasons, I'm not sure why they would. Currently, they aren't preventing Tor users from reaching the web sites of their customers, they're just making it a little more difficult.

I would tend to agree with this overall. I'm a daily user of Tor for random browsing, but I use it on what is essentially a throw-away tablet using a Tor-only router. e.g. https://rednerd.com/2014/10/16/

I use Tor every day for random ordinary things, like looking up recipes or researching banal purchases. The responsiveness of the Tor network has improved dramatically in the last year. It seems that the biggest threat to the Tor network r

Sure. For example I imagine you'll have some kind of 12v receptacle in the wall where you could plug in a computer or a lamp of some kind. Is there a standard for this type of thing?

What sort of plugs and connectors are you going to use for this?

CRI (or at least what's advertised) has really improved in the last year. It not difficult to find 90+ bulbs at places like Home Depot.

Wiping it actually increased responsiveness? I guess I'll give that a try.

I had the same experience. The devices is noticeably slower. I feel like I had no choice because of the potential security problems of staying on iOS 7. e.g. https://isc.sans.edu/forums/diary/iOS+7+1+x+Exploit+Rel

There are a bunch of daemons running on a fully configured My Cloud. I haven't had much success in finding anything yet, but yeah, it has the bug. nas:~# bash --version | head -1 GNU bash, version 4.2.37(1)-release (arm-unknown-

I don't really know much about this sort of thing. I assume that to the retailer that gets pwned, they get a few weeks or months of bad press then pass the cost of that breach on to future customers. The "regular guy" in me

Blackberry 10 has this feature also for BBM and SMS. It's great.

This mirrors my experience pretty closely and I think is really good advice, especially the comment regarding RF performance. Dedicated APs (especially the Ubiquiti devices) seem to have far superior performance than anything I've eve

I live in a newish neighbourhood. There were about 8 households that moved in within the same 2 months. One couple decided to have a get-together and put flyers in mailboxes (in January in Canada). 10 years later, some of the people I met

Childcare is a thing people feel really strongly about and there is clearly no right answer. It's all about what's best for the kid(s). "They need focused attention and the cognitive difference between kids that used childca

"the CTU research team provided the BGP evidence to the upstream ISP closest to the origin of the malicious activity." I think this likely means it's a smaller ISP.

I'm one of those 15%. I have a first gen Intel MacMini that I bought in 2006. I've since put in a 64-bit Core 2 Duo CPU, SSD and 4GB of RAM. It runs everything perfectly, but 10.6.8 is the newest OS I can use. I'm pretty

Maybe food is more expensive in Canada, but my family of 4 never eats out and we spend $250-275/week. I cook most things from scratch and I buy mostly local or organic dairy and produce which costs me an extra 25-30% depending on the s

I couldn't agree more. The Ubiquiti wifi hardware is better than any of the SOHO (Linksys, Asus, etc) I've ever used. I've changed most of my friends and family to using Ubiquiti stuff and I never hear about wifi problems a

I have not, but in speaking with other people on my team, it has been mentioned as helping a lot. It's probably a lot more effective than a bunch of coffee.

I get about 8 hours a night following my week of sleep deprivation. I would probably try and get more but my problem is compounded by having young children.
