Removing the amount of choices in front of people allows people to feel more confident about theirs. If you give them the option for 4Gb, 8Gb, 16Gb and 32Gb instead of limiting to 16Gb lots of people will freeze and never make a choice or g

There are two ways to define a function: var func = function(){}; function func(){}; The example above is doing both at the same time... don't know if it's a mistake on their part or not. However they're probably

So say I have a bunch of NES games stashed away in my attic in a box. How can I extract the data off of them and play this on my computer?

That class action lawsuit is horrible... 23andme is awesome and I love having it. I never felt cheated or any of that because I read it carefully.

Steve Pavlina stopped because he was bored and it was not giving him more time with the people he loved (which was the point of it in the first place). Source: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/10/polypha

Why are they announcing this now? Is it to tell people to hold off for Xmas?

I've noticed that performance has been reduced greatly lately on their offering. Has anyone else noticed this? Also had a few machines randomly reboot. /edit Just now I'm unable to join using the console access on a few of

I've been following Cheeaun's work for a few years now. The guy writes plugins for various tools, always hacking away at things. It's quite entertaining to see what he comes up with next.

It's interesting but looking at the video at the bottom of the article it looks like swipe gestures on the photo album lag considerably. Has anyone had the chance to play with it?

With Mavericks I see a lot of people around me going to Safari from Chrome. The main reason... battery life when on the plane. The few hours a week they need to use Safari and the fact they don't want to have to use more than one bro

Maybe you were just surrounded by assholes. I was on Slackware in the 90s, early 2000s and people in the community were friendly and helpful.

The plan is to provide a car for the every day man. Each new car they come out with will have a larger appeal than the previous one for the foreseeable future.

My beef with the placeholder pattern was that once you typed a character you wouldn't know what the field is all about. This pattern fixes this.

It's not for user friendliness but for inter-operability that we'd change that cable. USB is way less user friendly than the lightning connector.

I don't disagree that the techniques you mention work to attract some women. But did you ever for a minute realize that playing that game just lands you women of the quality which you deplore. The way I see it... I don't want my

Why the Microsoft hate? I was here in the browser war of the 90s. I was present when it destroyed Wordperfect. I was present when it trampled on Netscape and others. Now I see what they're doing with Internet Explorer and I'm th
