What a silly statement - IFA had no role in this *at all*. If laptops are going bezel-less, whether or not IFA even exists wouldn’t impact the timeline of the shift one iota.
Regarding the design shift itself... can’t say that I care. The bezels on my current laptop (2015 MacBook Pro) are small enough; eliminating them would only increase the screen size a small amount. And going truly bezel-less has some obvious downsides:
- Where do you put the camera? Keyboard pop ups are bad placement, and moving parts prone to breakage.
- If you actually use your laptop as a laptop on a regular basis, you’re putting a lot of stress on the screen panel when opening the device.
Actually I use DDG as my default engine - have for a year or two. But occasionally when I don't get the search results I want, out of old habits I fall back to Google... and am invariably disappointed.
I can’t say that I’ve ever thought “these search results loaded too slowly”. I have, on the other hand, said “why doesn’t Google do something about these pages which somehow manage to get highly ranked but don’t actually contain content which answers my question?”
That always bothered me about the American legal system. Depending on the nature and type of evidence it's possible that withholding it does not serve justice.
It serves the broader definition of "justice", even if you feel that justice isn't being done in the specific instance you're looking at.
The US constitution, and the laws that stem from that, guarantees that people are innocent until proven guilty. Our legal system also protects against search and seizure when there's not sufficient probable cause. In the original case, the woman who got kicked was unwilling to cooperate - so what do we have? Only the word of the police, who screwed up and did not follow proper procedure in the first place.
I don't want to live in a country where the word of a policeman legally counts more than my own word. I don't want to live in a country where my belongings can be seized and held without a warrant. I want my police to be held to a higher standard, because we've granted them a lot of power. Yes, that may mean the occasional scumbag walks away from a crime - but it beats the alternative. We've seen it over and over - people with too much power tend to abuse that power... even well-intentioned people.
(I realize that this whole argument somewhat ignores recent history, what with secret FISA courts and secret Executive Orders - that's a whole other can of worms)
To me, there appears to be very little, if anything, to Intel's credit in this whole CPU disaster. Performance instead of security.
Given that, when the news came out, their first (and second, and third) thought was to put Marketing in charge of any response... that was to be expected.
Yes, the big news here is that JRR Tolkien stole a time machine from the Kaiser’s forces (which is how he got wounded at the Somme) so he could leap forward a century and steal ideas from a webcomic.
The books edited by Christopher Tolkien don’t have the depth or polish that the “real” Tolkien titles do, but that’s understandable - he tries to impose himself as little as possible, focusing on compiling these unfinished tales (which often consist of multiple, conflicting partial stories, sometimes written decades apart) into some sort of a coherent whole while sticking to his father’s words.
I still appreciate and enjoy that I have a chance to read them.
On the Mac side, anyway, it seems Adobe is just saying it’s not going to support versions of the OS which aren’t supported by Apple - El Capitan (10.11) will be falling off the support bandwagon as soon as Mohave (10.14) is released in the next few weeks.
That doesn’t seem unreasonable, in and of itself.
The idea that Adobe wants you to pay a subscription for software which has been feature-complete for years, on the other hand...
Comrade Putin has already announced his plan to repair the station. At this very moment he is taking time away from his hiking vacation to find suitably-sized rocks - once he has a good one, he will throw it up to the station with such strength and accuracy that the rock will seal the leak!

It would, of course, depend on the implementation. And there's no way I'd be buying the gen 1 version of it.

Grandpa, what's a beeper?

“We are an Agile shop”: Your expected standard work week will be 80 hours
“We are a Post-Agile shop”: Your expected standard work week will be 95 hours
“We believe in work-life balance”: You’ll be required to wear a beeper whenever you’re not in the office
I guess it only applies when you WANT the answer to be “no”.

Yes, let’s get worked up over THAT versus not knowing about the Battle of the Somme or who JRR Tolkien was.
I doubt he’ll learn anything, but we can at least hope this might keep him from killing some future girlfriend.
So, he stole it from Goscinny and Uderzo?

.What should be common sense is to treat immigrants and refugees humanely regardless of whether or not they are ultimately allowed entry.
Now that’s just crazy talk.
would anyone be sure this is the first? Its not like Doom 2 has required an active internet connection for the past 24-years.
Dude actually accomplished this 18 years ago - it’s taken that long for his AOL dialup connection to go through so he could upload the video.
Now comes the equally important but less sexy, longer-term study to see what collateral damage might be caused by this treatment.
Be sure to include governments - you can add most of the Kyoto Protocol signatories to your list.

That company is definitely run by a bunch of sadistic bastards. I suspected as much back when my daughter was young - but now I have proof.

Attention to detail - it’s what Apple is known for.

Is this the same group of locals who were complaining yesterday, or is this a whole new group?
And then they ask "How do I allow this ActiveX control?"
Who still uses ActiveX? Do you live in Korea?
... because it may be the perfect Language for MIT, and research and education. ...
OR it may be the perfect language for the person/group who created it, but not for anyone else.
Apparently Facebook has figured out how to power a data center just using people's personal information.
