With all due respect to your experience, digging into the details of the FAA's data on these supposed drone encounters is telling: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/drones-are-the-n…

Drones are the new UFO. If a pilot or passenger sees a bird, balloon, or odd reflection these days, it's a "drone". Be skeptical about the recent uptick in fear mongering about the…

Can you describe what you mean by getting the run around? Are they giving you feedback that they're unhappy with the result and don't want to pay you? Are they saying/implying that…

Out of the box, a Surface Pro 3 definitely does not spin up the fan just checking email, unless you're checking email with Chrome. Gmail on Chrome ended up being more resource inte…

His layout seems fine to me. Out of curiosity, I shrunk the sidebar down to 20%, but found that the main difference was that it made the content's line length uncomfortably long to…

That's interesting, but we (as far as I know) weren't talking about game development, but about TV/movie production. Most people don't realize it, but many recent high-budget movie…
