Lot of posts on twitter saying their orders were cancelled. @Lenovo_Canada said the problem was supposed to be fixed hours ago. Edit: Someone made a change.org petition http://www.…

The F2P game "Path of Exile" (similar to Diablo) does everything on the server and it causes so many problems that you need to avoid certain character skills that are more prone to…

Those statistics are pretty useless because you set what platform your contribution goes towards. You could pay 1$ on Linux and set it as Windows. It would be better if we could se…

The whitelist feature isn't the issue here. You have always been able to whitelist sites in the "Custom Filter > Exceptions." The issue here is the addition of a built in whitelist…

My university had similarly bad security practices. Although not accessible as plain text, the social security number was used when you wanted to change personal information. For e…

My point was that x isn't always better than y. And in the case of turbine blades, monocrystalline is the way they are made. On the topic of forged turbine blades, the oriented str…

It isn't quite as simple as saying that forging produces a stronger part since a monocrystalline casting of a turbine blade would be stronger than a forged polycrystalline one.

I guess I shouldn't have used such a strong word like "causes this" since the article was more about the force field and not the source of the ionized air. The point is that if the…

I wish they would make it so that addons and plugins can only be installed inside Firefox (via addons.mozilla.org, File > Open or exceptions for trusted sites.) I have seven plugin…

Personally I look at it like this. While I'm not physically 'stealing' their product, I am still profiting by not paying X amount for its use. As an example, imagine if you are pla…

When the Intel Macs were initial released there was a contest to install Windows XP on it natively (before bootcamp was even announced.) Enough people donated to the prize pool tha…

Does anyone have any sales statistics comparing volume of iPods purchased from apple.com to volume of iPods purchased at retail (including Apple retail stores since they don't offe…

Can you expand on what you thought was subpar about using Latex on Windows 7? I use Latex almost exclusively and for such an obscure (compared to Office) document publishing system…

To expand on this. It is illegal in Canada for anyone without a proper engineering degree to call themselves an engineer. For example a computer scientist cannot call themselves an…

Komodo IDE and Komodo Edit by ActiveState is a pretty successful use of the Mozilla platform.

If OneNote is anything like Word you can use LaTeX notation once you are inside an equation environment (Alt + =). For example in Word typing Alt + = \int^1_2 \sum^x_(x+1) \ge \sqr…
