Source Sans Pro works fine as a Calibri replacement, and it's not normally as thin as that example suggests (I use it on a simple web app I made). It's also freely available on OS X and Linux.
Everyone knows not to use Comic Sans, but it's not the only played out, overused font all over the web. This graphic…
Windows 8 comes with a handy tool for troubleshooting your computer: the Advanced Startup tool. Accessing it can be…
This study suggests pineapples, oranges, and bananas all increase blood melatonin levels (in which case, bananas tended to raise melatonin levels least out of the three). This other study concludes "It is very difficult to alter blood tryptophan levels through dietary methods alone, outside of a laboratory or research…
Most of us think of ourselves as savvy, informed individuals who approach the world with discerning eyes. But the…
Completely agreed - especially since TrueCrypt was available for multiple platforms in the first place. It wouldn't make sense for the team to say "here use this tool that might very well be backdoored and have its own vulnerabilities for only one of the platforms we proudly developed for."
I really want to believe that, but it's looking less like someone just hacked the SF page and updated it - just updated the post with more details. :(
TrueCrypt, one of our favorite file encryption tools, has abruptly changed its homepage to a warning that the tool…
Most of us know spam when we see it, but seeing a strange email from a friend—or worse, from ourselves—in our inbox…
No, it wouldn't. A lot of great and very feminist films wouldn't. A lot of terrible and very sexist films would. That's because it has nothing to do with how good or feminist a film is, and trying to use it that way is silly. It's a test of aggregate representation, which is an entirely different thing.
But it doesn't. Movies don't fail if the women in them talk about men; they only fail if the women in them don't ever talk about anything else (at least not to each other). Kill Bill is listed because it passes the test, because while the female characters do talk about Bill and other men, it's not the only thing…
It's not "garbage." You're just confused about what the test is and what is measures.
If you believed the internet, you'd think there's huge debate over whether eggs, coffee, or salt are good or bad for…
photo sucks, list without links not helpful wouldn't have taken much to make this worth reading.
Epoxy and magnets don't even come close to being able to do everything Sugru can... I too was a Sugru hater awhile back, until I got a free bag of the stuff and actually used it, from then on, I was sold. And yes, it is expensive, but it's well worth it for certain things, especially from a tinkerer/hacker point of…
