I have Skylake 6700k, it does not come with cooler maybe your supplier gave some extra cooler. But neither boxed (fancy box with longer warranty) or tray (the transparent box) versions has even space to fit a cooler in them.
I also bought massive cooler, NH-D15. No warping here yet!
For me it didn't uninstall anything, it however screwed many settings in registry, e.g. keyboard layout and user specific settings. It seems like it "upgrades" by installing the ISO on background when restarting the computer once it's downloaded it.
I don't think Windows 10 in general is stable yet, for instance Start menu stops working sometimes, "Modern" apps stopped working (Calculator, Photo viewer etc.), Edge browser window does not appear anymore and Windows Update Settings does not open.
I get some of the features back if I create new Windows account, but not everything. It looks like I have to do clean install sometime in near future, what a wonderful upgrade.
I've been mesmerized why I can't configure Chrome to show notifications on work hours only.
It's as if whole tech industry assumes we use phones to get our notifications and that's where the most comprehensive settings are for notifications. I upgraded to Chrome 42, and it still can't tune notifications for only work hours, damn it.
I would take even 4G bandwidth anytime, if it could match the speed of ADSL, and I mean latency. I'm stuck with ADSL, fiber is in 50 m away, but none is going to dig it here.
I hope someone could standardize realistic measure of speed, that takes account the latency. It's really important when browsing, as usual webpage these days contact to so many different sources.
The Community 2013 is way more stable than any of the Express versions, because it is the Visual Studio 2013 Pro, with different licensing. I uninstalled Express few days ago, and I don't think it left a lot of DLLs anywhere, only thing I can find is registry key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WDExpress (with Visual Studio it's named HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio)
Also the Community version supports TypeScript out of the box if it's your cup of tea. I tried to get TypeScript working on Express builds only to find out it was really buggy.
You probably should look at TypeScript in any case if you do web stuff. Because it's the future of JavaScript now that Google has also adopted it with same syntax (and some few ideas on top of it) just with the name "AtScript" by the Angular team. The momentum is pretty high on it. Even though typing would be not in the official specs everything else is ES6.
Really, the story is that Obama was unaware of spying for 8 years! How on earth is that possible? 2007 - 2008, he was Chairman of United States Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Affairs, and after that as a president.
I know there is oversight, but geez it must be really loose. You'd think that those two posts would let one know about things.
They are, it's just that individual states of Europe has a intelligence budget so low, they couldn't even spy on their own citizens let alone foreigners abroad.
Why should I, as a citizen of Europe, have less rights online than US citizens? Especially when we are talking about companies (Google, Microsoft, etc.) that operates within EU, whom are also forced by US law to give away stuff to US government.
Europe should create laws where service providers (working directly or indirectly in Europe) can't give the user's data to third parties without (very least) informing the user in question. Purpose of these laws should be aimed at conflicting with US's FISA request-law which prevents me from knowing if my data is given away or not.
Of course, reading the post would have explained. Clicking the hamburger next to Most discussed seems to do the trick.
However I'm not sure if that "standard" is a good default, the pictures (at least at the moment) seem utterly useless. FreeBSD logo that fills the entire vertical space? Really?
I must be one of these morons. It often happens to me that Google Chrome address-bar (omnibar) throws in the auto-completion just when I'm about to press the enter. Then after looking at results for a while I find out the stuff I typed is appended with crap.
Now that I bothered to write about my stupidity, I'm considering turning the auto-completion off from address-bar.
The trivial counter measure is to get multiple (two might be sufficient) copies with different markings, then run diff on the content and merge (perhaps manually). Of course it gets tricky if the content is closed binary format, but it's still doable.
What happens if you click a tile on this overlay menu you speak of?
Cause the problem is not just the menu, it's the applications. For desktop users it's aggravating to jump between full-screen metro apps and regular desktop apps.
It would be far better (now that the metro apps can be sized nearly arbitrarily) for those who want desktop experience to allow them to run metro apps in regular windows fully resizable & draggable. This way it wouldn't break the desktop experience.
Danske Bank requires Java browser plugin to access their online banking, because it supposedly "enhances security".
In reality: Online payment's have become nightmare to do cause it frequently crashes during payment, and it's not always clear how you can restart only the payment process to avoid doing duplicate order to web store.
For their defense I can say that after last bug/update cycles of Java they seem to have become so frustrated also that they've decided to scrap that requirement, and in few months or so they too are removing the Java requirement!
There is probably many crucial systems still relying on that browser plugin support, unfortunately.
I think Google is missing the point when it tries to focus on "fashionable" side (or lack of) in the glasses.
Once it becomes useful, it has a potential to replace all displays and soon after the fashionable point becomes moot as people really want the thing. Yes it will be ugly first, but just like tablets, hands free dongles, USB sticks etc. the exterior will mature once it's useful.
But I'm afraid Google is doing this wrong, just like Bill Gates and Microsoft as they tried to introduce concept of tablets too early, when the technology was not ready.
Huh? To n+1 variant of set top boxes? Which are controlled by strange mess of makers, with all different idea of hardware / controllers / remotes... Sounds like true opportunity for game developers!
2. I believe game producers are going to see this as a blessing
Linux world? Where is that world? Not on this earth, nothing even remotely shows the "Linux desktop" is gaining traction. In fact whole concept of desktop is dying and gets replaced with: tablets, smartphones, mini-laptops and finally small pie for professionals/offices who really need desktop. Linux is not leading on any of the new platforms which have emerged.
3. When you are first to capture a market, you become the dominant player.
That is irrelevant, Linux is not capturing any market besides servers (which they have been doing without Valve just fine).
Ah, finally, all those Online-something goodies for chkdsk. I've always wanted to have Windows Activation Wizard popping up before my chkdsk session, just in case I was in doubt was my copy legitimate. (It is btw)
You can have open-access journal with peer reviewing. Revenue the journals amass isn't exactly going to peer review. It would be better for universities to join the forces and make one open-access & optionally could include peer reviewed section, which would be financed by collection of universities.
From the IEEE-Article: "What’s more, the early reports incorrectly asserted that, because the challenge seems so difficult, teams were not expected to succeed the first time around. This is not the case, Pratt said. 'The challenge will be adjusted as we get experience with the teams over this first phase,' he said. 'What we’re going to make sure is that the challenge is difficult but not impossible.'"
I'm from Finland were individuals and (at least that I know of) small companies can submit income taxes through provided internet forms, and individuals gets them pre-filled. (It still isn't perfect but it does have some validation and such...)
But first answer above "this is the kind of product that is done with help of lawyers and accountants" begs the question how freaking complicated is the US taxation forms?
Many of them are bloated with animations and other crap. Very slow to switch desktop, the primary feature!
VirtuaWin is pluggable, and has all one might need. I use it for 6 desktops, each has it's own timer I can reset (to track time of my paid projects). Additionally own background color thru plugin, so that I notice the desktop I'm on more easily.
Also it has a comprehensive setup to configure which windows are allowed to be tracked. It is important as there are programs you don't want to be tracked e.g. password keeper (KeePass) etc.

Were it a headline, it wouldn't distinguish it from WebP which got alpha channel in 2012, and is lossy format.

They did. In short they stopped providing test cases for new features. Do not use MySQL. Period. Read more about in here.
Also, I think Google Chrome is first browser to implement click to play flashblock in browser, and that is a good thing.
Settings -> Content Settings -> Plug-Ins and select "Click to play". You can also make exception like PDF reader to allow always.

I have 1050 pixels wide window, it is just fine for the Slashdot itself but the damned videos gets clipped from the right.
Make the player to scale by the width of the window and element around it.
