Until they fix that weird off-centre trackpad, I'd continue suggesting people go Dell XPS, also the only PC laptop with a trackpad response even approaching that of a Macbook

I have yet to encounter an embedded map that could not have better been - a static image - a table of addresses with an external map link It's not just the idea of wheeling around …

I thought I understood FFT, but totally not getting the relationship to this problem. Someone ELI5 please? :)

This was an interesting point, but prefixing it with a call to authority was both needless and distracting. Why did you include it?

Ebay doesn't corroborate the statement regarding Dell resale value: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=See-All-C...

This isn't the data, it looks like data about the stories ICIJ have decided to publish, which, having led with a bunch of anti-Putin stories in our media despite Putin having no di…

This seems remarkably sensible, now I find myself itching to research the history of embalming

What it sounds like is they've been asked to prepare a new OS release that allows an unlimited number of attempts to enter the passphrase via some network link. The press release i…
