Replying with a non-mobile link for those who are as lazy as I am when I see a .m Wikipedia link :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-electron_universe

Yes and Darryl Weaver is a Cloud Sales Engineer at Canonical. [0] This is the same as Microsoft doing a report for the government saying Windows is the best desktop OS. In regards …

God was this put together by some kind of secondary school student on work placement? It 6 pages with close to zero actual content that isn't just copy/pasted from the links they c…

I have been on Ambien (Zolpidem here in the UK) for 5 years now after being diagnosed with insomnia due to PTSD (actually diagnosed by three doctors at a psychiatric hospital where…

Have a read of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Standard_Identification_... That is how Amazon can maintain such good link backwards compatibility although for books this is eve…

1. Yeah WinFS would be nice but it seems to be out of reach still from a development point of view. Perhaps if it were a totally new file system and not having to maintain some kin…

This confused me too. Ipswich to Victoria is about 85 miles by road. Anyone got any more details on the connection route?

Good job! Have you look into Android apps? You will have a bigger audience. I am assuming you are using C# as they are Windows Store apps if so Java will be very similar for you to…

I worked at Xerox for 8 years as a Solution Architect and it annoyed me so damn much that they are sitting on 13.* yet hardly using it and I can't imagine that has changed in the f…

I have used Robocopy to move over 300TB of data round recently and not a single error. Robocopy is at UNIX level stability. Really a kick ass tool.

Agreed Notepad2 is pretty much perfect. I have been meaning to try out Notepad2-mod for a while as I would quite like the code folding. One thing I would like (and might change mys…

Using ST3b3059 on Windows 8.1 pro x64, 2.5Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 7200RPM Platter and the ST console logs "startup time: 0.0931221", it loaded as fast as vanilla Notepad.

Running iOS 7 on my partners iPad 2 is fine. The biggest performance issues with it are websites that are more and more complex than just a few years ago when she got the iPad. The…

You are not being cynical, that is exactly what Apple is doing and always has done. They set a limit on how far back they support older products regardless of if they are technical…

Yeah I only gave the page a quick glance and didn't notice it had two screens until I checked the specs page! Fail from a design point of view IMHO.

That doesn't mean you are an asshole. I could be the smartest (I don't think calling people stupid is a good way of putting it) person in the company/department and you could be in…

I really like the Outlook.com interface however the setting pages are god awful. They need to make them more dynamic so I don't have to load a whole new page for one little option.…

I can't recall ever noticing a big difference in weight between the two. I can easily go 2-3 hours reading the Paperwhite with one hand although the lack of physical buttons is ann…

I have found that Amazon tend to be a little over the top with the "usually dispatched within N days" line. It is clever as it makes it look like they are selling loads and so if y…

In short you can, and will, get fucked by your client. Never do work without a contract. I would have thought it were common sense but I have seen far too many people owed thousand…

I was pretty shocked they removed the page turn buttons. They are the most used buttons by an order of magnitude and tapping the screen is a crappy interface as it is too sensitive…

I enjoy the iPad (4th gen) as a tablet but it isn't that great for reading outdoors when it is sunny and it isn't as comfortable on my eyes when in very low light. However it is gr…

I have owned every Kindle e-reader and currently use a Paperwhite (2012 model) which I find to have the best screen (which is really the most important part of an e-reader) however…

For anyone who downloaded (but has not installed) a VS2013 ISO from MSDN before November 8th might want to download again as they were updated on the 8th. Details on the update is …

I am assuming that the RTOS has direct and full unrestricted access to the hardware such as the camera and microphone? If so then I would also assume that an over the air attack to…
