    One I just discovered recently is ctrl+shift+v to cycle through code recently copied to the clipboard.

    I had one track down the phone number for my employer, call here, and ask the secretary to speak with me while refusing to say what the reason was until he spoke with me.

    Sensationalist bs. It'd take some pretty impressive programming to deal with issues like road construction, missing or faded road markings, unmarked dirt roads, and potentially out…

    The extent of the technological capabilities of a device like a smartphone are far from common knowledge for the typical user. An app can allow your phone to perform the functions …

    Windows still uses the hosts file in windows 8. I did a little looking around and it looks like Windows Defender automatically removes some hosts from the file.

    I'd go with C#.

    I kind of lost interest at that point. I'm not interested in managing another subscription for this. Edit: It looks like it includes a hosted server. That makes more sense, but I'd…

    Why python? There are far more straightforward languages to learn with more beginner-friendly development environments. Seems like an unnecessarily frustrating place to begin.

    If your primary use for a second display is email, then sure I guess it could just be a distraction. But when you're working with several applications at once to accomplish a singl…

    I've been dying for a thicker phone in exchange for better battery life for quite a while now. Seems like this phone might negate a lot of that benefit with the much larger screen,…

    Lots of exaggeration and subsequent backtracking to bring that exaggeration back to reality. But even having not used glass already it's pretty easy to find fault with his points: …

    Intolerant of people who seek to use our government to oppress minorities due to their own ignorance and hatred? Definitely.

    Oh right, I forgot how religious fundamentalists and extremists are universally praised for their ability to accept contradictory views and lifestyles! What a powerful argument!
