In 1945, 1 troy ounce of gold was worth something in the vicinity of 35 USD.. As of today it's over 1100 USD, and going up really fast. It would have been unfortunate to have it paid back in gold.…
I'm by no means fan of windows, but the article was an obvious troll from the beginning, as it was quite evident that they were mixing up cache with real memory usage. What really surprised me was that such a pointless…
This was the first thing I was asking myself too. AFAIK only a limited group of people is allowed to do such a thing (law enforcement) and only if the have a court warrant for it. If they really pulled this off, then…
Then again, he might also tweet that he is on vacation while sitting on the closet, with gun..
Are you friggin' kidding me. Wikipedia hosts so many sites and serves so many requests that they are their partially their own cloud. They would not gain much from switching to some other cloud, not to mention the…
A bit wrong of a comparison. A car is a tool, and can get dangerous, which is why it has this strict interface and education rules. Computer usage is more like math. It's something you just need, part of every day life,…
I doubt that a 16k file with an OS in it manages to accommodate a virus too. It's probably heuristics, AV software is very picky about stuff that does booting a system or have very optimized code. You see this kind of…
Nobody doubt that (I hope). The point is, that you generally don't use it in competitive add campaigns, because it shows how pathetic/desperate you got. Porn will find ways to users, one or the other way anyway, so it's…
I liked it. Different people, different tastes I guess. But that's a good thing.
I'm on 64bit Linux here, and as long as I used the Adobe Flash plugin, it regularly crashed (in various ways, most of the time just the flash subsystem). I know there is a 64bit version now, but I got genuinely fed up…
Run Linux on their PS3 with full graphics acceleration.. No, just kidding, most will play cracked games.
Sounds like a chicken and egg problem to me. If we collectively ignore ogv because there are no current hardware en/decoders, then why should anyone build it? These things are built when enough demand is present. For…
That was just the first comparison that I came around at it sounded reasonable. I would actually prefer if someone else would show more of these. But not a lot of folks do that. Everyone is just bitching around. Also,…
With all the discussion going on, I was looking for a comparison of the codecs and found this website: http://people.xiph.org/~greg/video/ytcompare/comparison.html If you ask me, the h264 vs ogv versions were not that…
Good post! I can confirm that: I switched to Dvorak from Querty a few years ago too - big improvement.
Very true. He was probably confusing Open Source with Public Domain there. I also don't like how the article speaks about financial benefit. I mean, that's more the smaller part of the benefit you get. Oh well..
Any chance for a QT entry in the Libraries & Frameworks section? That's defiantly a framework worth noting, but I'm not sure how much cheatsheets are out there for it. They are kind of hard to find.
Remember, that's not inflation adjusted. It's a common banking advice though. (Not a stupid one). As for your problem, do what most people say here: invest in the best asset you know: your business model. If you are…
I agree. The most effective method would probably be to select various topics of practical usage for maths. That way the likelihood of finding interesting topics for all at one point or the other would increase very…
Rhytmbox / Totem are the default media players on Ubuntu, and yes, an installation dialogue pops up when a codec has to be installed.
I wouldn't exactly call it source code. It's more like a book with extensive description containing all the source code.. without much structuring. Somehow it hurts. .. then again, maybe the dvi/pdf version I saw just…
No amount of technocracy will change how people solve problems. The are basically two ways: 1. Apply predefined solutions to solve a problem (i.e. Use gadgets and applications someone else programmed). 2. Develop a…
I have a copy of "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment, Second Edition" (featuring very good description of C/POSIX/SuS/XSI protocols/api's and programming techniques for Linux/BSD/OSX/Solaris/other UNIX…
