Have you ever heard of wardriving? It’s the act of searching for and mapping Wi-Fi networks from a moving vehicle. It’s a really cool way to create a map of the wireless signals in a certain location. Don't get too excited; you actually have to do stuff.

Kudos to authors for the efforts to put up those at single place.

How is anything going wrong with iTunes a surprise?

iTunes breaks more often than anything else in this universe.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Quote: So in this build, on PCs with more than 3.5 GB of RAM, services are no longer grouped under shared Svchost entries. Instead, each gets its own process.
I'd've killed for this at my last job.
At least one of the dumpster fires corporate IT blighted my Weven laptop with regularly went berserk and had its service host process devouring a core for anywhere between 15 minutes and an hour. The large number of services running it it meant I wasn't able to do anything beyond generic rage at the admins since i couldn't ever point to a single offender and the process in question was full of stuff that would cause real problems if I started killing them left and right (assuming it wasn't running at a level of protection my local admin couldn't overrule anyway).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The Galaxy Note 7 is officially dead. Samsung has told multiple outlets (CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg) that it is permanently stopping production of the troubled device. After two recalls, Samsung has killed the Note 7.

I think it was inevitable. It was bad enough that the devices were catching fire, but to have the replacements do the same was just too much.

If you want to attract and keep developers, don’t emphasize ping-pong tables, lounges, fire pits and chocolate fountains. Give them private offices or let them work from home, because uninterrupted time to concentrate is the most important and scarcest commodity. Nah, let's just schedule another meeting.
