That's not strictly true. Newer SSD's actually use quite a lot of new technology to make them work, that is vastly different from older solid state storage-solutions (including SD Cards). SSD's certainly aren't a new concept, but as far as technology goes, there's a lot of new technology in...

Best post i have read in a long time. Thank you. My first tablet was a Nexus 7 (1. generation). One of the absolutely most positive surprises about the device was its polycarbonate backside with small dimples/holes. Not only did it feel way better than holding an iPad, but it also turned out...

Strawman argument. Doctors are specialized people, and as such have credibility that is ascribed to them by their career choice and education alone, which makes us trust them even if we don't understand what they're doing or why. This is an inherent attribute of a specialized society, where we...

As mentioned in the disclaimer in what you quoted, 'If you are a power user' applies here ;-) Anyway, there's a lot of administrative advantages for those of us who works in IT (although they are far from as useful as the advantages we saw in the move from Vista or XP to Windows 7). For me...

If first impressions meant everything, then i wouldn't be using Windows 8 right now. First impressions only mean everything to people who easily rejects change, people who have little patience, or people who are narrow-minded. Fortunately for me, i have plenty of patience and a willingness...

I remember the first time i tried Windows 8 was when it was in beta. Compared to the Windows 7 beta, which won me over instantly from Vista, the Windows 8 beta disgusted me so quickly that i swiched back a few days later. The system had a rocky start, we agree. Windows 8.1 has improved much...

So because you two doesn't understand the system, the system is stupid? And that this in some way makes it justifiable to leak secrets about it? What an exceptional train of logic right there.... :o) The problem with Windows 8 is all about intuition. The system is not intuitive, which makes...

Why is it unquestioningly? The entertainment industry thinks that people who do piracy go save the money they should have been spending on entertainment under their bed as some sort of 'pirate treasure'. That's not how it works. In reality, people still spend all their money. On food...

Cheaters actually increase sales, they don't decrease it. Cheaters cheat because they get a kick out of it, and since they run the risk of getting banned, they often purchase multiple accounts (I've heard of cheaters who have upwards 20 paid accounts just for one game), or maybe they just...

It always a puzzle to me why these people don't operate out of countries where they can't get sued. If you want to make a living out of this, you should at least protect yourself against lawsuits, especially from Blizzard who has sued cheatmakers before. Take it from the guy who creater the...

Scripting is not considered cheating. It just puts the run in a different category. Real cheating is never allowed in speed runs. And i actually think that the scripting makes i more impressive, because it speeds the gameplay up so much that it requires extreme precision, skill and knowledge...

When doing speedruns, participants (and judges, if present) cannot be allowed to end up in a situation where they enter an argument about what is 'intended' or 'unintended' by the game designers. That's why the rule of speedruns is that if the game designers failed to design the maps properly...

Well in that case, go us, we're apparently intellectually superior ;) I just see no need to waste energy gloating about it. If those people are satisfied going around complaining, who am i to argue? You don't need a seperate PC for it. An FTP-server is very lightweight (FileZilla Server has...

It doesn't really matter. On a phone, most users don't need the ability to manipulate files. I've always tried to be a person who isn't narrow-minded, and of the core values i believe in is that of 'One size does NOT fit all'. Those users we are talking about here are living in a different...

The system supports it natively, and some ROM's do give you an application so you don't have to go download one from Google Play. Mind explaining how that is not an 'out-of-the-box' feature? :o) Only some very specific operations carries a risk of hard-bricking your device. I've bricked my...
