    I have noticed the same problem when adding several search terms and ddg ignoring the one that is the most important. I have found that if you quote that term it returns better res…

    I think you might have misread the gp. gp asked >am I required to make my application code public?

    You are not required to make your application public as it is not considered a derivative of the linux kernel. If you distribute the device you are required to provide your custome…

    Most of the time you can paste the password in another field (like the username) and select and drag it to the password field. Browsers should probably not allow that kind of inter…

    While your name and phone number are public, the list of people who have your phone number saved is not public. These companies can effectively map who you associate with only by l…

    I really do appreciate the effort you put into these videos, and I definitely understand you want something out of this as well but the user experience of having to go through your…

    It's because the distinction isn't meaningful for day to day use. People use and compare languages and their standard libraries as a whole. I do think people recognize the fact tha…

    I'm not sure why the proposal would not cover MMO games. If a game studio abandons an MMO game it is completely destroyed for the players, an exemption would be very useful in that…

    This can be disabled in firefox's about:config page by setting media.peerconnection.enabled to false. The problem with disabling all these features on a case by case basis is that …
