  1. Re:Better Idea on Ban Fortnite, Says Prince Harry (gamespot.com) · · Score: 1

    48th trimester? I don't think it means what you think it means.

  2. Check out Youtube Vanced .... no ad ;)

  3. I thought it was Pocahontas with different coloured people

  4. I work in a matrix team where we look after functions but across multiple projects. Certain people in the team focus on specific projects but what try to maintain is the communication within our team for issues across the various projects as more often than not, we have common or similar issues and if someone has a resolution, it may help on other projects too. It's also useful as a lessons-learned sharing so that if others face something similar in the future, they have documents to refer back to. So make sure that even if you have people working on multiple projects, they talk to each other and share best practices etc

  5. so you turn 540 degrees?

  6. Re:Father claims it was his homophobia, not Islam. on World Reacts To The Worst Mass Shooting In U.S. History (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    I've talked with Muslim colleagues about this and what they said was that even though Islam is against gays, they leave judgement to their god. So this guy can be anti-gay, as many people are, but it was his decision to go shooting the place up.... just your regular nutso who had pented up frustration/anger to release.

    James Wesley Howell ... driving a car with 3 assault rifles, ammunition and chemicals (that could be used to make an IED) ... but he's white, so you'll only see it reported very briefly and/or commented that a mentally impaired guy was driving a car with weapons.

  8. Re:All other employees get extra work on Twitter To Give All New Parents 20 Weeks of Paid Leave (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    So in any team, there's only one new parent and everyone else are childless people right? There's no other parents who pick up the slack. Fuck, all these people around me with children's photos on their desks, they're all kiddy fiddlers!!!!

  9. Re:The hub, and the native environment on Facebook and Whatsapp Discontinue Support For Blackberry (canadajournal.net) · · Score: 1

    I got my Z10 on launch and still rocking it precisely because the OS is easier to use than Android/Apple. I love the true multi-tasking and most importantly, as you have mentioned, the integrated hub. Having every message types in one location is amazing and you can create messages for all of these apps from that one location rather than needing to go into the separate apps. It's a shame that Fb isn't supported anymore but with alternatives like face10, it's still OK... however the kicker for me is the loss of support from WhatsApp as it doesn't allow 3rd party access so no1 can develop a replacement app for it on BB... with this going, I will have to change phone once it stops working - running the android version isn't really viable as it won't be integrated.

  10. Re:Oh noes!!!!! on Facebook and Whatsapp Discontinue Support For Blackberry (canadajournal.net) · · Score: 1

    it's useful to have the app to get messages, notifications etc and also create posts from the hub

  11. Re:sticking with my BB10 device - better multitask on BlackBerry To Release More Android Phones In 2016, But No New BB10 Devices (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is, the Z10 came out 3 years ago... and Android/iOS still haven't been able to do multitasking like this! And the set of apps available on BB10 is pretty good for normal situations - but I guess for those who like playing a lot on their mobile, it's not appropriate. You can load Android apps onto BB10 but I've found that it tends to run slower and causes system issues :s

  12. sticking with my BB10 device - better multitasking on BlackBerry To Release More Android Phones In 2016, But No New BB10 Devices (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    I saw the release of the Priv and was excited... then I started digging into it to ensure it has the same BB10 keyboard as well as the Hub but the kicker for me was that Android doesn't seem to do multitasking like BB10, much to my shock and surprise. So let me give you an example - I can have a playlist on Youtube running (there's no app for it, it's just via the browser) and I can go to another browser tab or reply back to messages or even turn off the screen - and the playlist will continue running. From what I've been seeing on all Android and Apple phones, this is not possible - you have to have Youtube as the main focused app and have to have the screen running. So will be sticking with my Z10 (or maybe get the Z30).

  13. why the hate with social media? on AMD To Retire Catalyst Control Center Drivers, Rolling Out New Crimson Platform (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Have I misunderstood what they could do with social media integration? I wouldn't mind being able to link it to my YouTube or Fb account and then get my gameplay or sketching recorded and posted up with a quick click.

  14. must have been on 4 Calif. Students Arrested For Alleged Mass-Killing Plot · · Score: 3, Insightful

    must have been non-muslim kids... if it were angry and mentally unstable muslim kids, this would be a terrorist attack averted.

  16. Toys on Heathrow Plane In Near Miss With Drone · · Score: 1

    and it's because of people like this that we probably won't be able to have cool toys like drones

    Hitchhikers Guide To the Galaxy? Pretty much a comedy all through?

  18. Re:The biggest risk to the pyramids is Islam on Egypt's Oldest Pyramid Is Being Destroyed By Its Own Restoration Team · · Score: 1

    The problem is the hard liners that are either in power or the most loud... for instance they have demolished the homes of Muhammed and his wives etc which is disappointing to many who value the culture and heritage

  19. no problem over in the UK on How the Outdated TI-84 Plus Still Holds a Monopoly On Classrooms · · Score: 1

    Glad we don't have this issue over in the UK... we've got several alternative calculators that students can use - I still have my Casio but to be honest, after university, I have never used it since. They just end up as hand-me-downs and looking at calculators now, nothing has really changed and as long as AAA batteries exist, I can't see mine not being passed down for generations!

  21. duplicate channels on Average American Cable Subscriber Gets 189 Channels and Views 17 · · Score: 1

    I don't know how the channels are over in the States but in the UK, there are an awful lot of +1 and even +2 (timeshifted channels) - are they classifying these as individual channels? I'd say nearly every channel has one of these ... you could cut the channel list by 40% if they had counted these.

  22. slide notes + annotation on Students Remember Lectures Better Taking Notes Longhand Than Using Laptops · · Score: 1

    in pretty much all of my lectures, we were given a printed copy of the slides (3 to a page or so) at the beginning of each lecture and that worked very well as we could annotate on the sheets the explanations, additional notes etc rather than try and write the entire lecture. I'd hate to type out the lecture as diagrams would just take too long and I find I recall pictures better and having the slides printed made me recall those images easier.
