Click bait blog spam. The Mac installer will now optionally install the Ask toolbar, the same as it always has on Windows. You're still free to opt out of it at install. Yes, it's annoying and rude of Oracle, but not unusual.

What happens when a cable gets snagged on a rock? Or even the constant abrasion of rubbing against things could snap the cable. Interesting design though, and shows how our vehicles with a solid frame and wheels aren't necessarily the

Yes, most of those things do meet US regulations. The company inspecting them is the large US company that puts its brand on it. The same company that would be on the receiving end of a huge lawsuit if the products are dangerous.

For anyone that found this interesting, the website is a magazine focused on the Arab world. They have over 50 years of articles similar to this on their site. Interestingly, it is completely payed for by Aramco, the oil company.

What the fuck. They are literally rick-rolling people. And Yahoo is a publicly traded, supposedly reputable company. Also, I thought the Internet Archive was mirroring Geocities. Why don't they redirect people there, with a legal discl

No. Just, no. Speaking from my own experience, and that of my friends, marijuana can make you a shittier driver. I very much doubt the current scientific consensus is that marijuana in general makes you a better driver. It is possible that

Except for those of us that learn by example. I taught myself sql the past month through stack exchange and PostgreSQL's manual. Typically, I'd find a stack overflow question that points me to the appropriate section of the manual

This has been years, but I believe that I was able to format HD floppies as DSDD in some old Macintosh's. There's probably some risk, but I was able to copy files between computers.

Let's say you're traveling, passing through a foreign city, and are going to spend the night there. Several days previous, you had talked to an acquaintance, and they were going to let you sleep on their floor for the night. Now,

There are so many different species of bacteria that it is hard to estimate how many there even are, but according to Wikipedia, it might be between 10^7 and 10^9. I'd be willing to bet that there is a healthy species of bacteria that

Not sure what you are saying. If you mean that a jammer isn't tunable, and blasts out energy at all frequencies, you are wrong. If you mean that a jammer doesn't discriminate between devices, I don't think it matters. Guards

Seems like prisons would have enough clout to get an exception from the FCC to run a radio jammer. This would also help stop the problem of drones carrying stuff into prisons. Surely jammers are selective enough to not interfere with guards

It's not black and white. Many hobbies, which might appear useless for society in general, at least provide personal enrichment. Someone that spends their time programming video games is not helping feed people, but it is helping them

Why doesn't Ferrari put a more fuel efficient engine in it, and then wih a nudge nudge, wink wink, have the owner replace it with a more powerful, but less fuel efficient, engine? The type of person that will buy a Ferrari will be able

There are computer generated proofs. They are also completely unreadable, much less understandable, by humans. In reality, most of mathematics is based on set theory, which makes it hard for computers to reason about proofs. There is curren

Go on Amazon, and buy a full spectrum cfl. Just put it in a normal lamp, or jury rig a reflective box with cardboard and flat white paint. Total cost: $30.

The official wheezy ISO is 7.6.0, released in August. Thus it doesn't have a fix for this vulnerability or the one from earlier this month. How do you update to avoid this vulnerability without exposing yourself to it?
