    The scans focused on a particular area. The technology works by placing 'plates' in desired location and collecting the particles that hit those plates. They could only place plate…

    Sounds like my job, my life. IN the grand scheme of things, nothing much has changed in millennia.

    I never beat her. The question you were aiming for is "Do you still hit your wife?" It demands a yes/no answer and thus always appears to be an admission of guilt. Your question le…

    i think it's also that the technology has been around long enough that consumers just aren't excited by this 'new thing'. Thinking of apps, when smartphones came out there was for …

    Depends on which country you are in. Your bank card in some European countries is not allowed to receive or store info about the items you purchased, but the shop obviously will an…

    IN the video he claims not to have owned a cat or talked about cats for 20 years. they chose a subject that they are certain they have, as a couple, never exchanged words on. Expla…

    I read that at the time of publication. It made me both sad and angry; all of those children... because of what amounted to bureaucracy. I can't imagine what being a parent at work…

    No problem and glad to be of [di]service. I was familiar with the URL you posted, and probably should not have commented as a reply to you, but there you have it. :)

    If you have an existing COBOL app you can convert it to a web app and develop using a simpler syntax with more features through SystemZ from Zortec Intl. I've worked with them pers…

    I have a newer iPhone through work, so my 4 is only used for calls, sms and music. I'm keeping it until it dies and then moving away from Apple. What I really want is a true GNU/Li…

    Just tried this on my iPhone 4 (yes 4!, iOS 7.?) and I get 4 when adding 1+2+3 quickly, and sometimes 10 or 11(!?). Looks like this is a feature, not a bug, or else it would have b…

    Actually sounds good. I'm tired of Apple devices going in a direction that doesn't fit with what I want, and have never been impressed with Android.

    I followed the link, but don't quite understand the product. Does Ubuntu Touch OnePlusOne replace the OS on the device? So I buy one of the supported phones listed, and then erase …

    For any Mac users wanting to try out text to speech and who didn't already know, it's built into OSX. Have a look in your Preferences panel. It can be very useful if you want to 'r…

    Here in Norway I have never once seen a non-Scandinavian layout keyboard. Not once. As I'm from the UK I have considered getting a UK or US keyboard for coding at home, but at work…

    Ctrl + [ won't work on any non-English keyboard as the square parenthesis are hidden behind a modifier already. This is a constant problem with software, and now hardware, manufact…

    When users have to fiddle with settings to do the things they could do before without fiddling, what have you achieved? Apple used to be the UX good guys, now they are the devil in…

    Well, I'ma white guy in Scandinavia, doesn't get whiter than that and the police here are not giving an inch. I have a much worse opinion of the police here than in the UK where I …

    Yeah, but when I was driving 12km/h over the limit I got a huge fine right there and then. I wasn't told to drive under the limit up the road while the police reviewed my behavior.…

    Glad to hear it's working out well for you and that the naysayers were wrong about everything (incl. the AK)!

    Are you the guy who got flak for putting a Mercedes engine in a Jeep and was then told to take an AK47 with you to Ivory Coast? Those discussions were inspiring, funny and tragic a…

    It's the only time I can have a coherent conversation without being interrupted (married with children), alone, in a car. I'm soon to be audio free, no auxiliary input on the car's…

    The fan and AC on a touch screen is an immense failure. Here in Norway there are many tunnels on the motorway and in some conditions this leads to the windscreen steaming up a few …
