If you don't want to read the article: "Battery" in its name implies that it has got electrodes in it and that's all. It's neither an energy generator nor an energy storage device -- if you were wondering. Also here's the catch/ "The desali

After more than a decade of using and supporting google, now today for the first in my life, I am feeling that this search and ad monopoly is bad. It's very much understandable that these type of algorithm overlook will happen. But being th

If you hold the valve vertically and pour water through the wrong side, water will eventually start to fall from the other side when all those cavities inside the valve get overflown --- is that correct?

The question I care is: Is the probability of naturally occurring a collision in MD5 hashing significantly more than any other 128 bit hashing algorithm? The answer is: No.

I thought vim was a better choice, specially when you don't have a full keyboard. No need for arrow keys or Home, End.

Don't forgetting that there were touch devices prior to it, but those needed a stylus. Of course you could touch the screen for response, but those were not designed for such use. Jobs success was in understanding that the first thing you n

I have a command file on my desktop, double clicking on which deletes all .pif .lnk .inf .com and -shr attributed files in USB drive [plus other things].

> the USB interface itself will be subverted to spread viruses ? It can. But then I would know about it as soon the AV companies know. And I can take the precaution accordingly. If that is a zero day [remote] exploit, then I am toast, w

The less one knows about a system the more layers of firewall he will put up to protect it. People get astonished when I insert a virus infected USB disk into my Windows machine and use Explorer to safely copy files from it. And when they a

There is a misunderstanding. Someone connecting to a "open" MySQL server will only be able to run those type of queries (select,update or delete) that he is explicitly permitted to run and only on those database and tables where the admin h

So what would be the solution? He used a password protected database connection and put the password compiled in binary. If I was doing it I would have probably done the same. How else can it be done? Use web service? That would still look

> but later in the code it was important that the value was actually 5 and not "5". The bug was in that part and not in previous if(5=="5") part. Issues like these appear when Java programmers start to code PHP as if it's Java.

I feel 'vim shame' too. But in some opposite way. I am ashamed of people discovering I use vim as primary editor and not some GUI-IDE. Therefore I mostly pretend like I am making quick fixes using vim when someone is hanging around.

I think a better comparison number is [grand total of all apps sold per day] / [total number of apps in store]. When the customer base is 20 times larger, even 10 fold competitors still keeps the market twice as attractive.

Interestingly, I use siri only once a day too and it's to tell it: wake me up at xx in the morning, just before falling asleep. Looks like others are doing the same.

What I have learned from share market is that when people predicts the future, that prediction is always accounted for in the present. Therefore things don't go up or down when that time arrives. Unless of course when the prediction itself

That's what probably happened. And I can also assume that Rushdi never tried to claim there "I am the real Rushdi", only tried to show that "My name is Salman Rushdi [too], see my passport, therefore I should be allowed to use this name". W

From the article: "The iPhone 4S sends identifiers everywhere. So if you want to use Siri on another device, you still need the identfier of at least one iPhone 4S. Of course we’re not publishing ours"
