   Yeah. DPI story on Linux desktops are not very good. A few of them handles 200% scaling pretty well, but with something like 150% scaling, it fails pretty terribly. I had some success modifying things like border width, font sizes manually.

   BTW it's super unlikely Skype would cause a BSOD. BSOD is akin to a kernel panic. Most likely you have a hardware issue.

   That's hard to believe. Can you give us an example? Also mouseleave is an event IE invented and is non standard. How would it not work on IE?

   $18k is really a small amount of money for any governmental organization including those places. Even North Korea participates in the process.

   I see many comments about Han unification being a bad idea but I am not seeing any reason why it was such a bad idea. I am from a CJK country and I find it makes a lot of sense. Most commonly used characters should be considered identical r

    I thought this was something implemented using metaclasses to not have to use dictionary-style field access... (e.g., obj.field instead of obj['field'] )

    Even Internet Explorer has been multi-process since IE8. All other browsers do it, except Firefox.

    You can still have fragmentation problem with ext or ZFS if your file system is near full. This always has been a problem. The problem with FAT was that the fragmentation problem occured earlier than other systems.

    I think this could happen if you do not use 'compare-and-swap' and simply update account set balance=balance-9 twice at the same time when the account balance is 10. The account balance won't go below zero but you ended up wi

    Did you actually try it? It's almost impossible to get a hold of the old versions of chrome now. Google tool down almost all of them.

    I like this a lot. I actually used this at work. With a simple function to translate JSON into DOM incrementally, it's a lot more succinct than JSX. And it's fully programmable in JS.

    MSFT's web version of office (office.live.com) actually handles Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote in web browsers without any plugins. I am not sure why Google had to write this.
