I LOVED my HTC Universal , I actually had two in a row. Great keyboard and a rotatey screen so you could use it like a phablet. If someone made a multigigahertz model I'd snap that right up : https://www.mobilegazette.com/...
Half of what TFA is suggesting is, essentially, making passwords case-insensitive. Which as far as I'm concerned is a good thing, I despise case-sensitivity in all its forms in computing, to a human filename is the same as Filename and FILENAME. It's only binary technical smart-asserry that distinguishes them. (I'm a C# coder and I have no problem with the IDE auto-correcting and formatting the cases on my variables so that code is readible and consistent, thus avoiding compile errors)
Why is writing it down so bad? Specifically if these are your personal logins and they're in a little black book in a drawer in your house. Aren't they MORE secure, because no amount of remote hacking can read ink off a piece of paper? And if $thief has broken into your house, they're not going to go looking for said little black book - they're going to grab a laptop and a DSLR and get out.
Plus it runs like a dog on anything but a monster PC. While the console edition (being a native port) runs fine on my Xbox 360. When MS acquired it I was hoping for a native DirectX C++ port (with mod compatibility, magically somehow), but all they've managed is porting pocket edition to Windows 10 App Store. Meh
CRT displays relied on phosphorous glowing for a short period after being blasted by electrons. You had to keep redrawing the screen to refresh the pixels. But modern monitors are based on LED technology - they don't need refreshing - you just turn them on and off. So why have refresh rates at all? Why doesn't the device simply send frames to the monitor as and when they are ready and the monitor just display what it's told. If I don't send a new frame for an hour the monitor should just sit there for an hour showing the same picture without any refreshing or switching or scanning or any of that.
I just wish everywhere would get rid of urinals, I prefer to pee in private, thanks. My ideal scenario is one where - instead of pairs of restrooms with stalls/sinks/urinals - places just had a row of individual rooms each containing a sink and a toilet.
While you are technically correct it's not actually the law in the UK . The PRS are the people who will come round and check (not the BPI) and they're not so much a licensing authority as a club that most of the artists, bands, labels etc are members of. It's basically a protection racket dressed up in shiney clothes. If you limited your musical output to non-PRS-registered artists then TECHNICALLY you wouldn't need a PRS license. Technically is in capital letters, because you are little people and they are loaded.
One fun fact is that if you are a PRS artist and you perform your own work live in a PRS registered venue then you get paid from the PRS's coffers because on that date $venue broadcast your music. Even if the venue ALSO pay you in person for your performance.
So if you want to get rich quick, make some music, register it with the PRS then sit in a PRS registered pub all day playing your own music to the lonely bloke and dog.
We had graphics calculators waaay back in the 90s and we were allowed to use them (even encouraged for certain hardcore physics and maths exams) - on the way in they'd check the screen of your calculator to make sure the programmable memory was empty.
So I wrote a program that rendered a fake home screen with a fake zero-bytes-used status.
Wait, what? You're saying that if I went to http://example.com/x/y/z Directly I'd get the exact same HTML rendered out as if I'd gone to http://example.com/ and clicked a link to/x/y/z ?
So basically, after forcing all this ajax on everyone for years you're finally getting back to Web 1.0 with proper links that actually link to stuff instead of linking to a pile of javascript
...to head off those court cases where various people and countries suspect that Google is giving its own products "undue prominence" in search results - by putting their own products in a separate column to the right (and perhaps then dialing down alleged prominence algorithm) they're now no longer in violation of anything
Jesus, this again. No. You are wrong. Unless I lock my daughter in her room for her entire life does that mean someone has the right to rape her? I mean, technically, nothing would be being taken from her.
This webcam search is no different. Just because something is present in the universe and not physically hidden, locked, encrypted doesn't mean anyone can (legally or morally) dick about with it
Years of relief from people jabbering on about soaps, football, reality-tv, fashion, relationships, breakups, the weather and their dog? Oh god yes please!
Humans infected and turned into zombies? Check. Underwater collapsed buildings? Check. Army out to get you? Check. Filing Cabinets, Crates and Bins to climb on? etc.
I have 3 brothers, back in the day we played Doom, Doom II, Duke Nukem, Quake, Quake II and Unreal coop with 2 to 4 of us doing the whole game. Half Life came along and Coop was out the window, we fired up "Multiplayer" and found ourselves in a warehouse with a bunch of guns, no monsters and no way out, like, WTF do we do now!???
I want a wall that removes cool, wet air from the room and replaces it with dry, warm air so that I can dry laundry indoors in winter without covering my house in condensation and mold.
AFAIK all 3D printers use cartesian coordinates, to 3D print records we'd need radial coordinates like this - a flat disc platter which sits on a turntable. The turntable rotates and the printing head starts at the middle and moves outwards, printing the record in reverse onto the platter. Simples

Just bad, every site has different rules, at least one I use restricts the length to something daft like 10 chars. The should at minimum print the requirements (must have uppercase, digits etc) next to the password box, because as soon as I get into the reset-password screen for the umpteenth time and read those requirements I remember which password I used on that site.
Doesn't change the fact that requiring users to somehow remember or securely store a bunch of random gibberish to do anything on any website is just a bad system. Don't blame the users for using post it notes or things like password123 when the SYSTEM is dumb.

Just my job, generally. They've no idea how to run a software business, think agile means throwing a constant stream of changing requirements and bugs at you until the minute before "go live"... then they get annoyed at YOU for not being able to put out an emergency patch release within 24 horus (took me two weeks to track down and destroy a nasty bug, but that was my bad, apparently, not management for letting a piece of shit out the door). then there's finding out that our Prototype area of the system is being released to the public in a fortnight. Via a press release that one of our team happened to notice. And then there's the fact that despite my recommendations the manager decided the best platform was Silverlight with a VB backend. Oh and instead of using the.Net EntityFramework or in fact ANY standard components we'd write our own from scratch. Then be stuck with it for 3 years.

Or, you know, stop invading and bombing and coup-staging other countries then acting all surprised when the people who live there get pissed.

Double the image quality for the same bandwidth. I want this format supported in all browsers yesterday already.
On my site (http://thedecibelkid.com) which is relatively image-heavy I like the idea of INCREASING the image quality while using the SAME bandwidth.
