    The two are completely district languages. Kind of like comparing Java with JavaScript. I'm sure in general Microsoft would love to scrap VB in Excel but there's too many companies…

    Google has gone the opposite direction. I feel like throwing everything behind a VPN and pretending it is secure is a crux. Several famous break-ins over the last ten years have hy…

    Last week we had this exact issue. We added an iPad and tried to purchase something, but the only card on file was long since expired and thrown away. But in order to verify the ac…

    Depressingly every place I've worked has had policies against Easter Eggs. I guess it is part of becoming a more professional industry. It we did add an Easter Egg it would likely …

    Kind of like the AT&T "hack" wherein just changing the url leaked other customers info. They were still successfully prosecuted though. And AT&T received no punishment. When a comp…

    AMP is built on Google's CDN, and the standard is controlled by Google for Google's own self interests. It being "open source" or not kind of misses the bigger picture. If Google h…

    And then a second crash occurred where they followed Boeing's procedure, it didn't work, were forced to diverge and then crashed. Boeing's procedure only works if you catch it quic…

    Mechanical keyboards require deeper compression and are thus the opposite of what you want. They'll worsen strain. Have you checked your chair/table height, monitor height, and are…

    That's commentary. We can reasonably speculate they were looking at warnings and the flight log, autopilot is only one part of the flight director and as autopilot was never turned…

    Honestly Microsoft's hardware has been a rocky road. I own a Surface Pro 3 and Surface Book, and in both cases they were unstable for almost six months until receiving firmware and…

    No what I said was that there's no value even having a FSA until you cap your HSA. An FSA is worse than a HSA by every metric, cannot invest it, lose it after twelve months, many l…

    On what part? People not having over $6750 spare each year or that being the HSAs cap? For the 2016, 17, and 18 contribution limits see here https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/…

    We did exactly this last time (prescription sunglasses and regular from Zenni). We went to Costco for the exam/prescription which was pretty hassle free. I'll set out the positives…

    And do what? Logitech hasn't established a specific duty (inc. contract) to keep their devices online for any length of time. So therefore the only test might be "reasonable expect…
