I can attest to the unintuitive nature of the settings on the Sync system. Pairing your Bluetooth device is indeed a challenge.
They must have regressed something, as the 2011 Sync is easy.
The "Phone" screen has a "Devices" button, and you click "Add", then have your phone scan. Enter the PIN from the car on the phone, and you're paired.
What makes you think that having Comcast around will in any way increase the chance that the cable TV will work?
One of the keys to the ABP filters is that it isn't just a list of hosts, but rather a list of regexes that describe ads.
And, responding to my own post, I just used a feature of Adblock Plus that allows you to block ads based on where they point (i.e., the "href" value in the "a" tag).
This means you could do things like block ads for "badsite.example.com" but allow ads for "goodsite.example.com" regardless of what URL is used to retrieve the actual ad. There is no way to do this with any source-DNS based blocking (like a hosts file).
Fourth option. The website owner sells actual products at their website and makes money that way. This works if the website is an actual store
...or XKCD, or The Daily WTF, or Techdirt, or.... Some of these sites have sponsorship or the occasional ad, but nothing like any of the sites that complain because they detect an ad blocker.
There are lots of sites where being a "store" isn't the primary purpose of the site, but they make money by having a store selling things associated with the website.
that's a giant list, so you'd instead need a GIANT HOSTS FILE
One of the keys to the ABP filters is that it isn't just a list of hosts, but rather a list of regexes that describe ads. This allows you to display actual content from a site without displaying the ads.
No, I live in America, and never felt in any way constrained by any part of the Patriot Act.
That's because you haven't seen the effects directly, yet. Once the investigation is further along, you'll see how badly your rights are going to get trampled on.
What's that...you say you've never done anything to warrant investigation? That's exactly the same as many of the people on the No Fly List. And, you're not one of the nearly 10 million US citizens who are three steps away from a "selector"? So far, then, you've been lucky.
Where I work, everyone's voice mail is full because the voice mail system sends them an e-mail with the message as an attachment.
Everyone listens to the message (and acts on it if necessary), but nobody deletes the message from the voice mail system.
4: You have to remember which way you displaced your hands. Also, john and crack both have rules for that.
Rules/mutations/whatever in password crackers don't increase their chance of a hit if the base password isn't in their dictionary.
Even so, the "slide" trick adds two bits of entropy to the password.
It's good that the Samsung 840 Pro is holding up so well (its predecessor the 830 was also ridiculously durable) but it's now replaced by the 850 Pro which uses radical new technology (stacked chips).
I suspect the 10 year warranty for the 850 Pro is a good indicator of how long Samsung expects it to last compared to the 840 Pro (which has a 5 year warranty).
It really has to be used for something like database access or a file server or the like before endurance becomes an issue.
Even that isn't enough, because the drives in the test are being written essentially 24/7 (with just a little time off for the retention tests), and the drives remaining have been at it for 15 months.
You have to have an insanely busy database or file server to never have any time off from writes.
Since EA started bundling their games with Origin, I have consistently chosen option (i) and will continue to do so in the future.
Same for me an Ubisoft. I liked Far Cry 1 and 2, but still haven't bought 3 because it requires Uplay and that you always be online to play.
I have plenty of other games to play (and spend my money on) that don't require painful DRM. Until enough people vote with their wallets, DRM is here to stay, despite not really stopping copying of software.
Define "CPU-intensive". How many execution units are we talking about here? It's pretty easy today to have a quad core with HT, and I haven't seen any game use more than 4 of the available 8 execution units on that setup. As long as streaming only needs a couple, you should be fine.
On the other hand, the network card might kill the CPU with interrupts when playing plus sending out the stream (especially an online game), but that would be a network driver issue, not really CPU.
See these people who managed to get dual screen working
...but are too lazy too write up a step-by-step guide that you can print out to use because you can't get your monitor working enough to watch a YouTube video.
Any time a search for "how to" for a computer task returns a YouTube video, I give up and figure it out myself. I don't want to waste time watching 20 minutes of "uh, well, see here we..." just to get to the "edit config.ini and add 'foo=1'" to the end.
In the US, at least, you're required to keep your car's current registration card in the vehicle; that has your address on it.
There is no US federal government law that says this. You might have a state law that says this, but it doesn't really mean it.
What it means is that the registration has to be in the car while it is being driven on a public road. I keep my vehicle registration in my wallet, and my wife has a copy in her purse. Since we are never without those when driving, our cars are legal.
And as for TFA and reducing what's in your wallet, I hope the writer never has to do anything involving health insurance, as without that card, you are generally out of luck.
You likely don't have to write to the game's installation directory for many hacks.
Most games support add-ons that can be installed per-user, so that means someplace the user can write to. Whether that level of hack would be enough to "cheat", I don't know. I do know that it can give you an advantage, though, by causing unimportant things to not be drawn on screen.
With your bare hands?!?
