I’ve had both. I find the Disney+ app to be one of the better ones (on an Apple TV). Paramount wasn’t even in the same league.

For reference, my PG&E bill splits out transmission/delivery and generation very conveniently, since SF provides its own power generation utility service. It appears to be closer t…

Not case sensitive, huh? How about not even distinguishing between letters and numbers? When I called a prominent bank* recently, I was asked to enter my password via the phone. As…

17" screen + powerful GPU doesn't leave too many sleek options a la macbook. But if you look towards gaming laptops you'll find plentiful options. Ubuntu might be a little more dif…

Also, while this store sounds like a great place and one that I would visit... this article is the first time I have seen the name. I live in SF, I could have been going here, and …

I just moved to CA for the last election, and I voted for her. This was after already sending her mail saying she was doing a bad job. But as much as I didn't want to vote for her,…

Some thoughts from my typical meetings... Almost all of the presentations I have seen at work have been shared with people on the phone as well (using terrible sharing tech, I migh…

Out of curiosity, does the QR app you used load webpages within the app? Mine (RL Classic) asked me if I wanted to open the webpage and launched Safari.

If you have two factor authentication but leave yourself signed in, a password alone will not get an intruder into your account, but a cookie will.

As an outsider looking in, it seems like the whole prefix thing is approaching the problem from the wrong direction. Why do we have prefixes at all? Well, because developers want t…

> We do have some games like that: Civilization and SimCity, both games that teach the critical skill of resource management The Settlers takes that a step further and emphasizes s…

I'm not sure what dividing by population is trying to prove. Using very fuzzy numbers, there's almost 100m (or about 30%) people not eligible to vote in those population numbers.

Just to clarify, since it took your second comment to get me to this understanding - Someone who was not the real owner of the apartment (presumably thief/criminal) put the place u…

So of course I agree that spam results are the heart of evil. But I'm confused. After reading the DDG comment, I plugged both "VLC" and "VLC Media Player" into both google and DDG,…

CCP statement: http://www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=4616&... I admit, I was at work for the entire downtime so it didn't bother me, but I am pleased with their response t…

> I'd also like special people's names to be highlighted such as the OP's and admin's. I like this. I sometimes find myself searching a page with the OP's name to check for respons…

Wow. I missed a Delta flight in SF (that while I'll blame the PA system for anyone who listens, was entirely my own fault), and I ended up first on the standby list. I always got t…

I believe that's the point. These companies did not anticipate the direction they would be dragged by technological progress, and other companies have filled the void. I'd really o…

While I don't disagree, I had to reopen the link to figure out what you were talking about. The even bigger banner and traffic cone logo drew my attention away from the top of the …

Also - I only noticed that there was mouseover effect while I was mousing from the middle of the page to the back button. My mouse started in the middle of the page, I scrolled, re…

Sure, why not. > Email is different from social networking because in an email application, each person maintains and owns their own address book, whereas in a social network your …

>> Even more practically, the GPS could use the timing information to slip in spoken directions at less distracting moments, like a human companion might. I really like that idea. …

As far as I could tell, you "donate" $5 dollars a month to Kachingle, and they distribute this donation (after taking their cut) according to the sites you visit. It seems as if th…

Sure, but I'm saying I want money. And given that I want money, a teaching position is a worse proposition for me than an engineering position (whether due to the annoyance of find…
