It probably depends on where you live, but it seems every Goodwill in eastern Massachusetts always has at least 1. I was just at a Goodwill yesterday that had 2!

ConEmu[0], a Windows console emulator, offers something like this - combine any number of windows GUI apps into one window ConEmu instance. I don't always use Windows, but when I do, I use ConEmu. It's one of the few apps I instal

Out of curiousity, do you remember the vendor of the software at the hospital you worked?

Off topic, but have you tried Gnome 3? I personally can't stand it, but a lot of my friends who use macOS love it, to the point of saying it's on par with the macOS desktop environment.

AFAIK all modern browsers offer the ability to turn off JavaScript globally. Add-ons such as NoScript for Firefox give you more control though. I use NoScript to have all JS disabled by default on a page, and turn on/enable specific

I spent a fair bit of time trying to figure that one out. Thanks for clearing that up here and on Reddit that Rabble_of_one isn't /u/Mob_of_one on Reddit. Also thanks for learnhaskell! It helped me a lot when I was first l

I got the impression on #haskell-lang that the current occupants think the channel is about the new website. But with a channel name like that it definitely sounds like a channel devoted to Haskell discussion...and thus may become one. We

Is the open source version you speak of Libreboot? That's the only open source BIOS replacement I know for any thinkpads. That Thinkpad looks a bit new for full-fledged librebooting! Did he have to reflash the ME firmware back on?

Huh, interesting. I managed to do it successfully on my X201, but only after supplying power through the RasPi I was using to flash it (no power to the board, battery and clock battery disconnected, though I doubt the latter was necessary)

Huh, here[0] is a a tutorial on removing the whitelist for the X230, via desoldering and an SPI flasher. Looking at the images, the chip looks like an SOIC-8. I wonder why they didn't just use a test clip like this one[1]... EDIT: Th

'Explained' may be a bit of an overstatement for that page. 'Acknowledged and provided timestamps' is more like it. EDIT: Although it does look like they will update it with more information soon.

Oh, I've read that five part 'trilogy' several times :) I guess I should have said... Douglas Adams' books have been a major fixture of my life since I was 12. He really was ahead of his time. Actually I don't thi

Huh, this is a really fun thought experiment. Does anyone know any scifi books that explores this (or a similar) concept?

> From reading that link, it doesn't sound like those are "smart" devices? You are correct; they are not. The compass device in this story isn't implanted either, it sits atop some piercings on the chest. No smart d

I don't really see how this is treading politically/ethically dangerous grounds, definitely not like those magnetic finger implants people have been getting for a few years[0] (I would also say that those are probably one of the f

Well, I guess most of my friends have implants! While technically an 'implant', it seems more like this device sits on top of an implant (the barbells). No device is actually being embedded under your skin. But I guess we're

I see no implementation details. How do I know the accuracy of the compass? It would suck to be passively sent directional information that was even slightly off. What if I don't calibrate it for a few weeks? What happens if I&#x27

I think jbb555 is referring to the 'On "Free Time"' section. I see where they're coming from, and do partially agree that an article on compilers isn't really the place for a section of that sort (I like techn

You can definitely verify the code without the source. It may often be much harder, but it is not un-verifiable. Please stop spreading misinformation like this. With all the wonderful reverse-engingeering tools, dissassemblers, debuggers,

That's not necessarily true. I haven't spent much time analyzing it yet, but your assertion seems seems. Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but can't you verify end-to-end encryption without viewing the source of the p

Have you not tried it? It's working great! EDIT: With the exception of the connection being closed on the Wikipedia end relatively often.

That's interesting. Now that I think of it, the nausea feels exactly like what you get from ingesting the tannins in overbrewed black tea. I just assumed my nausea from drinking green tea and from L-Theanine (which I know that green
