  1. Could the Woz predict 2022? on Steve Wozniak Predicts The Future (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    2022 is only 5 years from now, we'll all be able to verify if the predictions were true.

  4. Re:Indeed on Someone on Medium Just Said C++ Was Better Than C (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    Depends how you declare the arrays (and the implementation..)...
    char *cpp = "C++";
    char *c = "C";
    printf("C++ > C => %s\n", (cpp > c ?"yes":"no"));
    :-)

    "C++" > "C" (as long as > has not been overloaded..)

  7. Re:Not so with all systems. on Study Shows Laptop Batteries Often Don't Last As Long As They Say (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Thanks for emphasizing this point. Apple is awesome in this regard. The iPhone also, until the last minute, shows exactly the same lightness and performance.

  8. Re:40 minute life with Dell Latitudes... on Study Shows Laptop Batteries Often Don't Last As Long As They Say (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Dell problem is not exactly this. Dell says the Latitude laptop lasts 8 hours, but you try it lasts only 4. The trick is, Dell says it lasts for 8 hours if you add the second battery pack bla bla (an ugly and heavy thing that you stick at the bottom).

  9. Are we supposed to be outraged or something?

    Based on what he did, no. However we'd like to get more information on how he was fired. Everyone needs some respect in that case, especially someone who has admin access to all systems.

  10. This answer is as dumb, as it can get by biological means

    Yeah, but you know on Linux people don't have to worry about the cost of a web server/OS - and when a patched or new version comes on the horizon. nobody thinks twice before upgrading (IIS depends biologically upon its OS, and often an IIS upgrade requires an OS upgrade).

    This answer is as dumb, not sure, if a specialized AI could beat that...

    If an AI can beat that, it's definitely not dumb!

    Not the ones going on vacation in France, Spain and Italy.

  14. Re:Europe is the one that should be scared. on 'No Turning Back' on Brexit as Article 50 Triggered (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    UK is losing free access to a market 6x their domestic, and won't be the financial market for Europe. Hard to see how that won't result in a slowed economy and they'll certainly have less political influence as they can no longer affect EU policies.

    Well, they can still rely on a generous climate that attracts many tourists

  15. Re:Too soon. on The Galaxy S8 Will Be Samsung's Biggest Test Ever (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    While I agree about the likeness of such an event, my bet is that Samsung will accept reduced battery performance (at the expense of battery life), and work better on optimizations, to ensure that the probability of a burning experience be way lower than the competition (including better testing as well).

  16. Re:Too soon. on The Galaxy S8 Will Be Samsung's Biggest Test Ever (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Me. I bet it won't explode. The S8 may have many flaws, but if there is one Samsung focused on the most, that 's battery issues.

    No.

    An explosive improvement.

  20. Secure means Encrypted. If you need authentication, use the much more expensive EV certicates, to get a nice browser green bar that includes the name of the company.

  21. Using PayPal in the domain name on Over 14K 'Let's Encrypt' SSL Certificates Issued To PayPal Phishing Sites (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    And? You may also get a wildcard certificate from whoever (even net sol) for *.mydom.com then create a host 'paypal.mydom.com' in DNS having paypal in the name, and covered by the certificate. If this article tries to discredit Let's Encrypt because they're free, paypal in the name is not the right argument.

  24. The maybe best solution ever I've seen in Austria

    Another solution, in Japan: the traffic light may switch to red but cars keep going for 2-3 seconds.

  25. The maybe best solution ever I've seen in Austria. their lights flash green 5 times before they go to yellow

    So what's the purpose of the yellow light in this case?? When green switches to yellow you're supposed to stop if distance and speed allow, and pass otherwise. If the time allotted to yellow is to low, increase it!
