Could it be a bandwidth issue? I remember reading about 120fps 4k video on an Android phone being limited to only a few (real-time) seconds because there wasn't enough I/O bandwidth to stream the video to storage so it had to stre

Do you extend the same principles to homosexual men? Are homosexual women exempted? I find it easier to not have to consider the sexual preferences of my coworkers when I'm interacting with them. Edit: I should add, if someone is going

Ditto for the touch bar on Macbooks (although that doesn't fix the issues for OS X in general).

While it's certainly true that we don't have a complete understanding of nature, I think we can safely assert that dead things don't feel, and I'm completely unaware of any evidence to the contrary (and I would think its

Just like gambling, alcohol, opiates, etc? Besides the wealth of extremely addictive substances (and activities) that are legal (some regulated), there's also at least one illegal drug that you're never going to be (chemically) ad

By that same logic, Vim and Emacs are even more dead than Leo, which they most certainly are not.

Are you saying that supply can't scale to demand? Because what you've described, a limited supply and increasing demand, is commonly solved by increasing supply. Unless we're at 100% coffee output for the Earth, which I don&#

You don't need a college degree to do pentesting. I don't think anyone credible in the industry cares where you got your education, as long as you know what you're doing (or in the case of juniors, are able to learn).

Not quite that, but rather vigilantes mugging you when you're most vulnerable, and then returning the money later when they're confident you can safely hold onto it. I wonder if the vigilantes will return the money with interest..

And that's why nobody makes fakes or knock-offs, right? Because they'd lose their customer base once their customers purchase the product and find out it is not genuine. They're are large profit margins to be made off of eith

As terrible as XML parsers can be, they've never been as bad as "XMLdoc = eval(XMLString)". I'd be more likely to trust a JSON parser not written in JavaScript than an arbitrary XML parser, but that's only because o
