I'm probably one of the few people here who prefers open floor layout. When I'm working on something not totally exciting presence of people next to me keeps me a bit more concentrated on my work. If I'm alone in my corner my mind tends to wander off or just turn off. Being in the cubicle after lunch with somewhat boring coding task will get me dozing off. But separate office is the worst: I need increasing amounts of coffee to stay awake.
You could probably diagnose me with ADD though. So how rare am I?..
This is actually great, but it still requires manufacturer+provider to be in the loop. I'd consider it "solved" when I myself can update Android while the low-level device drivers stay the same.
And TBH I don't see a simple solution for this, considering for example TFA phone needs custom notification icons ordering to leave a gap for front facing camera up on top of the screen.
At least have an exhaustive list of what they collect and publish where they store the intermediate results locally, so public can keep that in check. Without this FUD starts about keyloggers and web tracking that may or may not be happening in reality.
But to me it's not just making the sound louder, it's also about distinguishing voices from background sounds enough to comprehend them. Thankfully I'm not yet deaf enough for this to be a serious problem in a theater. But I'm on my way there: at home I either have to wake my neighbors or use headphones. Hence, subtitles.
More like in three. And they are not the only issues. And all of them are addressed. Go read Wikipedia or something.
To me the the options are quite simple: you either shell out some cash and there's a small chance of you being reanimated, or you don't and you're gone.
True, but not as transparent as I'd like it. I'm in, once they get GPU virtualization performance as the CPU one... or just move all SIMD logic into CPU and standardize instruction set.
It's getting there: as earlier command prompt OS and UI shell earlier were (more) separated, right now hypervisor and OS are individual products. Wait 5 years...
For now you can use UAC/sudo, non-root user accounts or Sandboxie and its alternatives.
Sounds suspiciously Apple-like. iPhone apps do this very thing.
No shit Sherlock: sandboxing, emulation, memory and hardware virtualization, CPU ring modes are all Apple inventions from 1970s and Windows 7 you're browsing from right now has its code base from Apple Lisa of that era.
Like everyone else I hate the security issues of Flash and think that for simple things like web forms, pull-down menus and video players designers should switch to HTML5. However there's no good alternative for web games.
Though there's clearly some progress, I have yet to see playable games in HTML5. All we have right now are few conceptual proofs. Google's pacman doesn't count: it lags and I'm pretty sure took 20 times more time to develop than its Flash alternative.
Interesting idea. I'm more for employers covering individual employee's student loan rather than public fund approach. Students from your local techie school should be more affordable to employer than some high flying business/law/med grads.
Some employers right now are doing it, but government can be more encouraging here. Instead of paying off interest for active students, even ones who wont get a related job.

Well, who's an idiot if a law like that actually gets passed?
I think he got it just right.

Can I stay ignorant and just get umbrella deposit -to- USD conversion ratio? Bonus points if you google what is jiao for me.

I watched the whole thing.

Instead they choose to dumb stuff down.
I dunno, I watched the webcast and that leeward fin will definitely need a new paint job. So, like I said, I dunno about 24hr turn around so far.

You realize everyone doesn't have to take your family to a theater to go there themselves?
Of course you can. There were plenty of science fields banned throughout history.
It'd be nice to have a lively company too, but 20 bucks are 20 bucks.
You're welcome.
Nailed it in one.

Well that's your fault anyway, you shoulda saved her off Antiga Prime zerg swarms the other day...

I guess things like your comment would show up only under the latter search.
Apparently, I'm using more modern version of Windows, than you've got. It's NT4 and has the feature you've mentioned. Check it out.

Am I the only one who thinks the more slashdotters are on iPads, the better? It's way easier to troll with real keyboard, like I'm doing right now.
