Web link causes Safari crashes, device reboots on iOS and Mac-Arizona Hot (January 27, 2016, 10:33 AM)
With Cortana, Microsoft is “scroogled” in new Windows 10 spyware scare Computerworld-Arizona Hot (January 27, 2016, 10:13 AM)
I'm embarrassed to admit that I was staring at the white circles in each of these pictures thinking each circle was a separate die, and I was rather bewildered at how I couldn't tell any of them apart!-Deozaan (January 27, 2016, 12:31 AM)
Especially if the bottom funneled the (single) die down to a smaller more predictable area. having a smaller (say 1-2 inch diameter) bottom area (think of a CUP shape or upside-down cone), it would be able to rest closer to bottom of base.-mouser (January 25, 2016, 12:59 PM)
BITCOIN: TOO BIG TO FAIL-Renegade (January 24, 2016, 12:36 AM)
QuoteI was thinking camera from the bottom using lightly smoked glass might make the extra non-relevant - yet visible - faces easier to ignore.i don't know enough about optics, but maybe someone who does could shed some light on the question of whether it's possible to create a glass "surface" (lens?) that had the effect of making something the details of an object laying flat against it very clear, but rapidly blurring anything that was even a couple of millimeters away...-mouser (January 24, 2016, 04:05 PM)

...First, what I'd like is a nice sandbox to run scenarios through with zero real consequences. That would rock~!

I think you might be confusing what seems to happen in what we see as "the world around us" with a concept called "reality".
This is the sandbox.-IainB (January 20, 2016, 12:15 AM)

Yesterday Windows f*****g 10 forcibly rebooted on me for an update.-Renegade (January 17, 2016, 12:41 AM)
Personally I wish the Son-of-a-Bitch would have kept his freaking teeth shut. I was about to do a selloff, but now I can't without screwing myself through the floor.-Stoic Joker (January 15, 2016, 11:30 AM)

I want to see what Renegade thinks. Especially in the light of that troubling PDF he directed us to a bit ago.-wraith808 (January 15, 2016, 11:44 AM)
I don't use Bitcoin, but I came across this article which has some pretty dire statements about it:
- The resolution of the Bitcoin experiment
I don't know enough about the workings of Bitcoin to know if the article is a good one or not, but it sure sounds like he knows what he's talking about. I'm interested in what you guys think.-mwb1100 (January 15, 2016, 10:59 AM)
Today, after weeks of telling Windows to f*** off because I don't want to reboot for updates, it finally told me to go f*** myself and rebooted in the middle of me doing shit.
Windows 10 is <insert the most vile, inhuman, violent, sick, twisted, evil stuff you can possibly imagine here />.
I just have no words for how horrible this entire lunacy is. (I do have the words, but I'll spare you.)-Renegade (January 14, 2016, 10:23 PM)
“The fact is that, although the new software may enhance privacy for some users, it severely hampers law enforcement’s ability to aid victims. All of the evidence contained in smartphones and similar devices will be lost to law enforcement, so long as the criminals take the precaution of protecting their devices with passcodes.-The Article
Think about it though. The people who are likely to try to disable GWX 1) have made the conscious decision that they don't want Win10 just yet, and 2) are sophisticated enough to figure out how to do that. What could MS possibly gain from pissing off that particular user base (who could be called opinion leaders, the ones that advise the rest of their family and organisations on which computers to buy)?-dr_andus (January 13, 2016, 10:32 AM)
I hope the marketing types don't light bulb that Hybrid and Harley both start with "H" else Harley Hybrid(tm) is only a matter of time.

I hear Ya man. But it's already been explored by OCC (eek!).-Stoic Joker (January 09, 2016, 06:50 AM)
Whoa!! A 60 mile range? It could take a long time to retrace the route taken by Fonda and Hopper in Easy Rider! ( Edit: Unless maybe it's a misprint and it's supposed to be 600 miles? )-MilesAhead (January 09, 2016, 07:24 AM)
