Based on some people I know, I would say that if you have this gene variant you remain negative no matter how often your pessimism fails. But perhaps I'm just being negative. ^.^
While I completely agree with the statement, I wish the parents were actually making an informed decision instead of just buying the game since 'it is only a game'. This is acceptable if the parent knows that the kid also understands that it is a only a game.
I am not at all sure I expressed myself clearly here...
Do they have to inject it? From a liveblog of the event: "The sapphire crystal acts as a lens; the sensor essentially takes a picture of your fingerprint and analyzes it". This sounds pretty interesting.
Also Kid's Corner in WP8. Unlock to use anything, swipe left without unlocking to access user selected programs (games). This patented thing does extend this a bit.
Sure, but I bought my crappy TV after 2006 and it is nice that even if my PS3 were to break I don't need to worry about the new standard. Now Cable-ready (or whatever it is called) is evil. The connection between the digibox/set top box is indeed HDMI, but most of the high resolution programs cannot be shown, because the machine doesn't support some kind of registration.
I think destroying the hardware implies that the hardware was seized (even if momentarily), I don't see the Guardian giving the hardware to them voluntarily.
The Russians are pissed enough to harbour Snowden.
The Russians aren't pissed about anything special - they're just harboring him to annoy and embarrass the US.
I'm guessing they don't want to appear to be following instructions from the US. And giving Snowden to the US might also be seen as supporting the snooping (whether or not they do it themselves on the same scale). Annoying and embarrassing may also be factors, but is perhaps less valuable to them..
Not sure if a serious question (especially considering the next comment by Russ1642), but in WPF images get scaled as well. For better results it may be a good idea to provide higher resolution bitmaps to be used in high dpi cases. Alternatively you could override the scaling, but that might not make sense as the images/icons would stay a bit small...
On QT-side there is the possibility to use @2x images (double res images, which will be scaled down as required).
New software usually is pretty much resolution independent... Old stuff less so. (For example basic units in XAML are device independent and QT also allows using device independent pixels as units.)
"Dedicated Charging Port Output Current Min 0.5A, Max 1.5A" according to Battery Charging Specification, Revision 1.1 from 2009. Has not been lowered since. More recently, from 2012 there's the new spec that allows for more power, but uses new cables (if I remember correctly).
They're talking about removing that functionality.
Where? I read pretty much everything related to this.
Some clarifications:
- This preference is still available in about:config.
- There are add-ons such as NoScript or SettingSanity that will do what you want with more easily accessible UI.
Note that the capability to enable/disable JavaScript easily will return in Firefox 24’s developer tools.
No, it hasn't been declassified. Can the people who wrote the papers openly talk about them? Nope, still classified. When the docs are declassified then the contents can be openly talked about. Not before.
And yet they are basically confirming the authenticity of the information by blocking the website.
I bought ModernMix from Stardock that allows this. This is the approach they should have gone with (on desktop). I guess this wouldn't be very usable with touch only, but an option for desktop would have been nice. I still don't really use anything else than Netflix as a metro-app, but I'm pretty happy about having it in its own window outside the browser.
One of the forums I keep visiting has unfortunately rather high concentration of trolls. They keep repeating claims that have been disproved several times, and keep demanding 'answers' regarding those claims. The entertainment value is rather low as it prevents the actual discussion (and arguments) with the people that actually are capable of arguing their side.

kids understand death sooner than they understand sex.
I seriously doubt that. In fact, I'm not sure all adults understand death.

Yep, no injecting needed, a bit of work perhaps. http://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2013/ccc-breaks-apple-touchid
the audience broke into spontaneous laughter.
Yes, I would go with the audience reading the non-verbal clues pretty accurately. I doubt that he would joke about it if it was true.

How the fuck do you forget leap years?
The same way you forget the month December from calendar I guess. It is strange, though.
His opinion is as valid as yours.
I'm not so sure, there wasn't a reference to a website.

Those are limits for ports with data transfer, for charging ports the values are higher. (And USB cable spec says 1.5A if I remember correctly)

Why would you go to third party and not to about:config if you know what you are doing?

I guess it depends on who you are. The BBC documentary was quite interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology_and_Me

Xbox 720 would have been way cooler...
Nah, it should be at least FullHD.
