"Delivers very poorly"

It doesn't even get released for another 3 weeks!

How does sugar affect acne? And how are those sugary substances any better than other sugary substances?

Chrome has never used V8 on iOS. All browsers on iOS use the built-in WebView with custom UI and with iOS 8 all 3rd party browsers have access to the same full-speed Nitro Javascript engine that Safari uses.

WiFi versions of iPads do not have GPS. Only the cellular versions. And those cellular models can use GPS even with no cellular connectivity.

Complaining about iOS apps with ads is laughable when Android is just as bad or worse. And god forbid that developers make any money with a 99 cent app or in-app purchase. And it's obvious you didn't even try a simple Google search for "iOS VNC" as there are plenty of worthy apps.

We're using ArcGIS Explorer (free)which has tons of issues itself but fills the need for a lot of people, or a full version of ArcGIS ($$$).

Years ago before I started at my current job some people had Google Earth (free) on their PCs. But then someone read an updated Terms of Use and determined that we actually needed to be using the paid version of Google Earth so many people had their copies removed from their PCs. Then around the time I started someone read an updated Terms of Use and it was determined that there was no problem using the regular version of Google Earth. So it became part of the standard build. Then about a year ago someone read another updated Terms of Use and determined that we were out of compliance and so we removed all copies of Google Earth from all computers. And then we purchased licenses for Google Earth Pro for only those users who really relied on it. For a yearly per-user fee. And now apparently we can install it for everyone once again. For free.

I wonder if Google realized that a lot of companies and government organizations were confused about licensing or ignorantly non-compliant or just gave up and tried some other program. I know in my department we already installed alternative software for most people. Although nothing is as nice or easy for exploring or creating KML files as Google Earth in my experience.

"Back" is now a swipe from the left edge of screen to right.

Your first paragraph is hard to read but your second paragraph is impossible.

>How hard is it to put an image on two screens and sync it to gyroscopes/ultrasonics/infrareds? This is college-senior-project level complexity.

Hard.

Dealership unions? What!? A union of dealership salesmen? Owners? Explain.

You couldn't be more wrong. The GTA titles are great sandbox games.

Postgres.app uses the latest stable version of Postgres (9.2.4), so I don't know what you mean.

Have they removed bookmarks?

"Superintendent Jack Barshinger said teacher support for doing a survey grew after several suicides by students in recent years. Students and staff typically said they had no idea those teens were in distress.

'We can't help them if we aren't aware of their needs,' Barshinger said."

Honest question: Could a survey to high school students truly help suicidal teens?

I've found the exact opposite. I've found that there are many more "cooler" (~5600K color) CFLs with a high CRI than warmer (~2700K color) CFLs with a high CRI. The cooler 5600K lights are daylight balanced and used a lot with digital filmmaking and as indoor grow lights, whereas the warmer lights are used in home light fixtures to approximate the color temps of incandescents.

I guess I don't get it. This Ph.D candidate was recommended by the previous CTO and was the one spearheading the framework transition...and then was fired after 2 weeks? But junior devs at the previous firm were given months to get up to speed?

No, it was publicly accessible information from a public-facing website.

One of my buddies worked in the accounting department at our state government. He needed to get a bunch of documents from another agency (like hundreds every month) to process claims. Well this other agency requires everyone to go through their website and download each document one at a time. They said it was to prevent abuse. For some reason they couldn't just send a batch of them to us, even a fellow state agency. So I made a scraper to download an entire month at a time. I figure it was a webforms site because it was filled with postbacks and viewstates which made it a bit of a pain, but the ridiculous thing was the CAPTCHA code:

<input name="actualSpoofValue" type="hidden" id="actualSpoofValue" value="TFU3P">

and TFU3P was the CAPTCHA code!

Admittedly it's light gray link on a white background...but if you click on "white noise" it will take you to the sound!

For Windows users..."pip install bpython" won't work. You must install the Curses binary. I suggest from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#curses

48fps was chosen because it was a direct multiple of 24. You can cut the framerate in half and project it in all the old 24fps projectors.

Firefox Aurora 18 supports Retina now, and Firefox Beta 18 will support it when it's released later today or tomorrow.

I would love to quit my current day job and work on my business full time if I could be guaranteed health insurance. When I graduated, more than anything I wanted a job with good health care. I could not risk joining a company that would drop me or not cover me if I got some major health problem. So I got a job with not the highest income but a very low likelihood of losing health insurance...state government.

You need to add some CSS to account for extra pixels the responsive navbar uses. Also, the JavaScript for the navbar menu does does not seem to be working.

I agree that it would have been awesome to upgrade the non-retina MacBooks to IPS. But go try the 14" Thinkpad. It uses the shittiest LCD panel in the industry, way worse than any MacBook and worse or on par with the worst Dell laptops.

Not to be pedantic, but the Thinkpad T61 is a Core 2 Duo machine that came out in 2007, not 1998.

OLPC made big claims that never materialized. They originally promised battery life that "measured in days." I never got more than a few hours life out of mine. But really the biggest problem with OLPC was that they were too proud to admit that their custom distro "Sugar" was a POS. If they had gone with an established Linux distro that was useable they might have had a chance. Any criticism towards the machine's usability was dismissed as "this was designed for children, not adults, of course you don't understand it!"

I don't know about you, but I think 4 months is just way too long to expect someone to stick with it. I'm not going to invest months of time into a tool with no measurable benefit.
