It is a remote control to your smartphone - the current Wear crop don't handle any of the phones' tasks, and it vibrates when I get a notification or phonecall...

Yep. Gear VR is like a posh Google Cardboard with a Samsung Note 4 strapped to the front (a, probably, offensive oversimplification, it actually has tech in the headset, but it's just a face-holder for the phone), and the Oculus Develo

It means that 7 people here have an issue with the size.

Yeah, it's a neat idea, but my fingers wouldn't thank the switch from the Ducky.

The last sentence is interesting to me - I wonder if there are many sys/devops types who are morning people? I'm a developer and function much better at 5am than 11pm, but it'd be an interesting correlation if server-peeps we

My first thought was this as well - we tend to list prices inc VAT in Europe, but it's almost always without in the States, no?

I absorb perhaps more than I should, I use it as a kind of positive procrastination from a not completely engaging job. I break it down similarly to you, spend more time on SO style answers as it looks "codey" if anyone can see my

IME large corps always go for the "quick wins". They get external companies in to tell them the things their employees already told them about, and then it's a box ticking exercise to race through that list before their next

Yes, because there's only those two options. Only. Those. Two.

This is kind of what we had here outside some nightclubs in the UK. There'd be a private hire company (bookable only), with a guy with a notepad and phone standing outside, he'd make the booking on the paper, ring the driver who w

With it being pre-installed on KitKat I just used it without thinking about whether it was "out" there yet. Great service that I use every day. You can even set each note with a reminder time or location that'll notify you (o

"Soft landing" "acquihire"?

Yeah, but the initial ones in the UK were lane based (SPECS?), meaning if you changed lane at any point during that section, they wouldn't work. I assume this has been fixed now?

Anecdotal of course, but I and a few friends/family I've seen used to have email addresses (when I was younger) with two digits representing birth year (like, something85), whereas I can't think of a reason I'd use only

And a hearty fuck you you should give to those making you do unpaid overtime :)

I had the opportunity to take a high stress, really well paid job at a successful company (tech in a professional services org, not a tech co, 60% more pay). They picked someone else after previous interviews, but approached me again after

I'm in the UK, do 37 hours, home by 4.45 each day, don't let anyone tell you you need to work every hour in the day to succeed.
