I personally used FeedDemon for the better part of a decade, which had an option to synchronize with google reader. Unfortunately the author is also ending development of the software with the Google news being the last straw, effective today.
I just wish they would let diverted links (from outlook, RSS Readers, etc) open in chrome with the program itself remaining in the background. It is common for me to use an RSS reader, click on a dozen or so links, and then flip over to the browser and read them one by one. Now I have to flip back to the RSS reader after I click each link because chrome jumps to the foreground. It was even more annoying when these noisy tabs start talking in the background while reading other stuff before I installed flashblock. To me this is my biggest wish for chrome, especially since I could do this in FF probably 5+ years ago.
Typical indoor HVAC design conditions: Summer - 75F / 50% RH, Winter - 70F / 30% RH. So indoors I would think the virus would survive well year round, just better during winter.
Outdoors the air temperature might swing 20-30F between the day and night. This is going to swing the RH levels in an even wider range - maybe between 20% and 80% depending on season, time of day, local climate etc.
I would think the virus survival would correlate better with time periods when there isn't much change in the outdoor air temperature/humidity levels for several days during winter, rather than anything with indoor conditions.
Try looking at a psychometric chart sometime. Heating does not change the amount of moisture in the air. Air can hold more moisture at higher temperatures, which is why air feels "dryer" when it is heated coming out of your furnace.
Or you could stick a bucket under your condensate drain off your AC/furnace and see how much water collects in the winter.
Recently picked up a couple 3TB Seagate drives and a Synology box for a new NAS at home. Since I was planning to move all my music, pictures, video, and general documents to the new box, I decided to download the manufacturer HDD tools and scan the drives first just in case. I think Seagate's is called SeaTools, I'm sure WD has a program as well. No errors reported on either drive, and no errors so far with the RAID array after a couple months of use.
It is cheap this time around. $40 to get an upgrade from a previous version of windows, and 98% of people already have a previous version.
I usually run the most current version of windows, but never actually purchased it (aside from when Win98 shipped on a HP machine I bought back in 2000). Typically I go through the cat and mouse game when MS occasionally catches up to the pirates and limits updates or other software (like media center) without extra activation checks. For $40 this time around I figured it was worth not having to fight with activation periodically for the next few years.
For what its worth, this "upgrade" key worked perfectly with a clean install.
On the other hand, if you use Amazon's free super saver shipping, you will have to pay zero dollars per order in shipping costs. You may have to wait a few extra days for items, and order small items in groups to get keep the overall order cost above $25 to apply, but its hard to argue with free.
Apple acquires patents from the AFC (American Football Conference) after talks with the NFC fall through. Apple just had to get a piece of the $10B American Football industry.
While the hardware is available on most modern consoles, I doubt Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo would let this last long. They need to keep everything proprietary and in their walled garden to prevent rampant piracy after all.
Agreed. My wife was working on her masters, reading lengthy academic papers on an LCD screen (laptop and/or PC) for several hours at a time. After having eye-strain issues she picked up a Kindle, and the problem greatly diminished. Its one of the few devices that comes close to paper in terms of readability for books and such.
You have to know what you are getting. If you are looking for a tablet - decent graphics, games, etc. a Kindle isn't a good choice. If you simply want an e-reader, the Kindle is the way to go. If you turn off the wireless when not in use, the battery life is ridiculously longer than any back-lit display will ever be, since the e-ink uses zero power once a page is displayed.
Almost all mainstream media is clueless on what the Higgs Boson actually is, or what its findings could mean. Sadly, it would have had 90% less press in the mainstream media if it wasn't given an unfortunate nickname.
Since 1985.... for over three decades... So when did I step through the temporal doorway? Last time I checked the calendar we still had a couple years before we can try to meet up with Marty McFly.
Wasn't the whole point of a SIM card to easily move your data and contacts from one phone to the next? What good is this if there is a new standard SIM card format every time (or every other time) you get a new phone?
Glad I'm not the only one clueless on what DOTA is short for. Would be nice to have it spelled out somewhere in the article description if its not ubiquitous on here like HTTP or SOPA.
The one thing that keeps me on the FF/Chrome fence is my external RSS reader. I usually skim through by feeds, click on a few to a couple dozen stories, and then flip over to the browser, flip through the tabs and read them. In FF it works great with TabMix Plus - you can set the browser to open "diverted" windows - like links from RSS readers, emails, etc - in a background tab, so your RSS reader or mail client never looses focus to the web browser. Great when clicking a bunch of links for later reading.
This seems to be a known missing feature from Chrome, and haven't been able to find a plugin that bridges this gap either, except if you use google reader.
For personal machines, imaging to an external USB/Firewire HDD is the only way to go. Drives are so large and cheap these days, I've got several of them in a rotation. Using blank optical disks, tape, etc.these days for personal use is just silly. Occasionally use some free online storage or other removable media for small amounts of important things I may be working on at any given point in time.
At the office (small business) someone setup the server for the cloud using Carbonite before I got there. Probably a good idea to have off site storage for business. I may get them an external enclosure to backup occasionally for more redundancy and quicker recovery time if they loose everything.
Better strike WW II from the history books as well. Wouldn't want to offend any German immigrants regarding the events between 1939 and 1945, or bring back bad memories for any Jews living in NYC.
For that matter lets just ban all history books... most of the events in history involve a struggle between two or more parties, and are therefore offensive.
Glad I'm not the only one. A number of years ago I was using an ancient TV with a screwed up power supply. When you hit the power button to turn it off it would stay on - just turn the tuner off and show snow on the screen. I found an old clapper and used that to turn it on/off. It worked OK... but was really obnoxious if I was yelling at the TV during sporting events.
You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?

So anyone have an ETA for the Duke Nukem Forever source code?

It's a good thing Curiosity brought Surface to Air Missiles along on the trip to protect against an alien invasion of Mars.

Besides this I find Chrome >> Firefox.

And how did my +1 Informative mod from earlier today end up listing this comment as funny?
I'll take my mod points back by replying to this article and see if someone can explain this to me...
