Now just imagine what kind of infections might be hiding under the skirts of our key governmental, industrial, and financial systems here in the West.

The market is pretty saturated and both companies face strong competition from other brands such as Vizio, who sells a pretty good product for hundreds less. There is also the fact that consumers are expecting to replace their current HDTV sets for a better product at a lower price point, because this is what they…

Unless your speakers on stands are the same distance to the wall behind them as when you mount them, their sound absolutely will change.

Technically you can sleep with any family member as long as offspring is not produced.

Network admin was screaming at the Time Warner and ADT security, who seemed to have knocked us out and left premises after installing a new security system. This does highlight the fact that we need some sort of contingency plan, but we are a small company and I'm not sure we could build something robust enough to be…

This is all fine and dandy until your internet is down, which was the case Thursday and Friday at my employer. Not sure if you're allowed to keep previous installations of PS on the machine, but even if you can, that's a big productivity hit to switch back your workflow in a fast-paced production environment on top of …

The modern equivalent of boobscan dot com, which has apparently been wiped off the face of the internet.

Reading all the comments below, I had no idea there were so many other tobacco pipe smokers on the site. Awesome.

I inhale about every third pull— i can't help it. I'm a cigarette smoker, too, and it just doesn't feel right not to.

Obviously this wasn't meant to be a reply to me, but you are correct that this be a glaring oversite.

I'll be smoking a pipe and drinking 12 yo scotch (on Monday, when it's available for download).

Maybe not the best idea, but it's a damn sexy device.

Hmm.. Now I just have to figure out how to convince my employer to upgrade.

No time to read the article so it may contradict what I have to say, but by this point do we really expect any action they take to be well reasoned and to the benefit of most people? It's probably worse that they have taken notice.

Every time I see that photo, I imagine her belting out some kind of naked aria, which is the best kind of aria.

There was once genuine commenting gold here. It wasn't often on topic, but it was some goddamn clever banter, and good community. I think the approval/ star system helped engender that, and kept out the spam and less intelligible folk. Not to disparage you good folks that are still here, but this place is far from…

Unity is actually one of the main reasons I gave up on Ubuntu. That, and the fact that with the version that first featured Unity I could no longer get my wireless usb adapter to work.

I wish MS would take the Start8 route. Metro looks really nice, but the whole concept makes Win 8 feel completely schizophrenic. Also, from a user perspective, I find it mentally jarring to switch to Metro to find an app— something about leaving my current context (the desktop) and entering a new one (Metro), where…

On a normal camera, the closer you are to a subject, the shallower the depth of field, and with macro shots DOF is often millimeters. It looks like this limitation still applies to this camera type, so one has to be careful when composing near and far objects if you want both to be in focus.

I started with a Rebel film camera in undergrad before switching to a medium format TLR, and I made it through grad school (photo MFA) using my 8 MP Rebel. I still use it on the rare occasion that I go out to shoot. I also use an T3i at work to shoot several hundred product photos a week for the web. Got much love…
