A very quick glance suggests to me that the only thing C++ specific there is the filename extension (although a C compiler would do a more thorough check than I do; and faster, eve…

Vertical centering has been relatively easy since CSS 2.1 (Table model); flexbox of course offers much more than that. Flexbox may be finalized and unchangeable, if only because so…

Note that Google provides newer versions of Flash player for Linux with alongside Chrome. That version works on any browser that supports the Pepper plug-in interface (currently Ch…

It isn't actually very old – not much older than current releases on other supported platforms, because quite often security bugs affect it as well, and Adobe updates it as well. A…

I didn't see anyone broadcasting their porn habits. OP only mentioned searching for porn; not which kind of porn, or whether he had downloaded it in the past.

I don't think any of the founding members (some, or all of which have served time in jail) are involved in running the site (or have been in years) – at least not officially.

Really? Hardly any? I would consider it rude not to offer free restroom in a shopping centre, although it's far too common in a fast-food joint (they aren't really any better than …

The Apple reference sound less like a business plan, and more like typical hype of Apple exceptionalism. Apple makes the top dollar by selling devices with a nice profit margin. Wo…

The Nokia platform would be that which we used to call Maemo in the past (currently Mer, behind Sailfish OS). Nokia no longer uses it.

To be precise, Microsoft didn't buy Nokia's brand for use in phones, they licenced it, for about a year for smartphones and a decade for the so-called feature phones.

> They just use contract manufacturers just like Apple does. They do more than that; they have outsourced also the business execution (i.e. including selling, warranties, etc.) of …

Certainly you cannot. However, even the connector receptacle resembles Lightning ports. There's a perfectly reasonable reason for that, though. The design seems to have avoided mos…

I doubt that, considering it's lacking the Apple home key. Anyway, apart from specs, to me it really looks more like a bigger iPhone 6(+) than an iPad mini. I'm not saying it's not…

Yes, a great deal. Nokia is still an independent company, even though it sold a division of theirs to Microsoft a while back. Microsoft also bought a license to the Nokia brand on …

So is GCC. Perhaps it's still one less compiler to deal with, if they don't need GCC on any platform any more.

Browsers have scrolled less than 100% since forever, but there are differences. Most noticeably, Firefox scrolls (or used to scroll) more than Chromium, and has problems with conte…

I happen to like many of the New York Times articles that "mess" with your scrolling (that is, use the position changes to trigger events). To me, they somewhat resemble magazine a…

In Linux, I get a varying, incomplete image with Firefox (33) and nothing with Chrome (38).

Are you sure of that? Certainly you can bring with yourself (for personal use) as much alcohol as you want across any EU border, and I'd be surprised if it became a fraud at some p…

That's a good point in a way. At that size (especially with the 4:3 screen ratio) it's certainly uncomfortable to hold it like a phone, even with huge hands. Ergo, screen size does…

Correction: a piss poor 27 inch display. "Quad HD" is way too little for that size; you need to at least quadruple the amount of pixels to get anything resembling print quality. An…
