    I know but nabsltd (parent above) said that this wouldn't work.

  4. It's true! on Curved TVs Nothing But a Gimmick · · Score: 1

    Samsung and LG claim that the curve provides a cinema-like experience.

    I bought one of those curved TV just last week, and last weekend we had a movie marathon.

    The cinema-like experience was really breathtaking. The floors became sticky, my friends started talking on their phones during the movies and my bank account was magically reduced by twenty dollars because I made a big bucket of popcorn and gave everyone a small glass of black sugar water.

    So they provide something that they know doesn't work? That's not helpful at all.

    Click on "Download detailed requirements and instructions", scroll to page 4.

    As for expiring, the instructions recommend to make a snapshot once you're up and running, to be able to reset the expiration period when needed.

    Which VM version did you try? VirtualBox, VMWare Fusion or Parallels?

    I'm not using Safari as a shining example, I was merely stating my point of view as a Mac user. Then again that point of view could have come from a Linux user too, but with both Safari and IE not being available.

    I do acknowledge that it's not legally possible to test for the latest Safari versions without buying any Apple hardware, so in that regard the situation is even worst.

    I can download the latest Safari, Chrome, Opera and Firefox for my Mac to test my code.

    But I'm stuck at IE7 because the latest IE versions would require a 100$+ Windows license.

    Microsoft would help themselves if they released free VM images of the latest Windows that's limited to running their browsers.

    I really don't understand either.

    If Netflix has the movie in its library, you stream it and watch it. Done.

  20. Re:Makers? on Printed Circuits as Part of a 3-D Printed Object (Video) · · Score: 1

    The term "makers" applies to all kinds of fields, not just 3D printer users. Go check out Adafruit or Sparkfun for examples.

  21. Re:Makers? on Printed Circuits as Part of a 3-D Printed Object (Video) · · Score: 1

    I think the word "maker" is appropriate, as they're just "making" things, usually with computer-assisted devices (3D printers, CNC mills, laser cutters).

    People with skills, doing things by hands, are called crafters.

  22. Come again? on Printed Circuits as Part of a 3-D Printed Object (Video) · · Score: 1

    Affordable 3-D printing is still young; just a few years ago, it would have been nearly impossible to have an arbitrary three-dimensional piece of plastic (or resin, or sometimes metal).

    Oh yeah, desktop CNC mills didn't exist just a few years ago. That's why Roland wasn't able to sell the MDX-40, MDX-20, MDX-15 or even the old MDX-3 decades ago.

    The translator still converted their language into english. It's just that their whole language was metaphors.

    Let's say two persons are talking about sanitizing database inputs. If someone says "Little Bobby Tables", there's a whole explanation and concept behind that without needing to further explain anything else.
