Is there a reliable way for consumers to defend against this? I've taken to searching more than one search engine, but this is a pain. Is there a reliable service that searches a lot of search engines and collates the results, so this becomes obvious?-wraith808 (August 22, 2017, 12:38 PM)
hmmm,
this may seem pretty esoteric, but it is difficult to explain anyways, and I want to make y'all work a bit ;-)

@Edvard:
If that is entertaining to you, then you should try the 'Cards against Humanity' card game...with a set of good friends, of course. The time I played that, I found it to be more fun than I cared to admit. But I was with a crowd that appreciate the 'a dirty mind is a joy forever' mindset.
Mixing and matching words, concepts and sentences that any sane and/or p.c. person would never dare to combine...shouldn't be that funny.

Since this format seems to be basic to the explorer in windows I am sure I am not the only linux user who would like the kind of functionality that we are discussing-cicerosc (July 16, 2017, 08:03 PM)
Somebody posted about that on here a few days ago. I passed on it- mostly because I get all of this free stuff and never look at it
But it is a good deal if you're going to use it.-wraith808 (July 16, 2017, 08:18 PM)
I think you're not getting the implications. When in the physical store for Barnes & Noble, I sometimes check prices on Amazon. Same in Best Buy, Costco, etc. It's usually using the free wi-fi in the store. This would prevent that while you're in the store and on their wi-fi. I don't see what the use is other than to piss off customers that are currently on your store, however, as you could just turn off your wi-fi connection and use your cell phone's connection instead. But there you go.No, I get the implications just fine, and I believe most folks won't even be aware of what's happening. They'll probably just accept that when in Amazon (or Amazon-owned franchise), you do as your Amazonian Overlords allow, and won't bother turning off Wifi. Further, I believe it is a dual-edged sword; like Deozaan said:

So is this a defensive patent which Amazon will use to keep benefiting from such behavior? So the likes of Walmart and Barnes & Noble can't stop you from checking the price on Amazon?This is a patent, which means that others can't legally use the same tech without negotiating with Amazon. That said, a simple router setting would do the same job, which leaves me scratching my head how... I just...-Deozaan (July 16, 2017, 10:39 PM)

Having long thrived on shoppers checking on their phones to see if a product is cheaper online, Amazon’s “Physical Store Online Shopping Control” patent aims to prevent you doing just that in a Amazon-run real-world store.
A quick repair at a huge corporate lab during a late night shift should not have sent Logan into a hellish landscape fraught with monsters, but it looks like Lady Luck decided to give him the middle finger. Logan would like to give one back.
The Sword Interval is about a world on the verge of a supernatural apocalypse. Most of humanity goes about their daily lives trying to ignore the constant threat of magic and monsters, but a few face these dangers head-on. Fall is one such person. She has left behind the sheltered safety of the paranormal witness protection program in order to hunt down the monster that killed her family.
btw was it mentioned anywhere how much $/space they are paying? I can crank up the autorepeat rate and hold down the space bar with the best of 'em!-MilesAhead (June 23, 2017, 07:15 AM)
Do you use tabs or spaces for code indentation?
This is a bit of a “holy war” among software developers; one that’s been the subject of many debates and in-jokes. I use spaces, but I never thought it was particularly important. But today we’re releasing the raw data behind the Stack Overflow 2017 Developer Survey, and some analysis suggests this choice matters more than I expected.

What is a piecepack?Basically, it's a set of printable templates, and a website chock-full of user-submitted games to play with them. I suppose 3D-printed piecepacks would be the next step.
Flexible. Portable. Affordable. Public domain. The piecepack is a set of boardgame parts that can be used to design and play a wide variety of games. Anyone may design and publish a piecepack rule set. Any manufacturer or individual may produce piecepacks.

Build Your Own Text Editor
Welcome! This is an instruction booklet that shows you how to build a text editor in C.
The text editor is antirez’s kilo, with some changes. It’s about 1000 lines of C in a single file with no dependencies, and it implements all the basic features you expect in a minimal editor, as well as syntax highlighting and a search feature.
This booklet walks you through building the editor in 184 steps. Each step, you’ll add, change, or remove a few lines of code. Most steps, you’ll be able to observe the changes you made by compiling and running the program immediately afterwards.
I explain each step along the way, sometimes in a lot of detail. Feel free to skim or skip the prose, as the main point of this is that you are going to build a text editor from scratch! Anything you learn along the way is bonus, and there’s plenty to learn just from typing in the changes to the code and observing the results.
