The latest version of IE does not send "MSIE" in the user agent. Microsoft did this intentionally to encourage feature detection instead of browser detection. Most detection code relies on "MSIE" being present.
If you must, it is still easy to catch IE though. "Trident" is still present.
Does E-ink support touch?
If not, that's the only reason I can think of e-ink not being used. I assume essentially all android apps require touch support.
Fire TV has a mechanism to simulate touch with its remote. Something like that could be used, but it was pretty awkward the few times I used it.
Dyn has been abandoning the free service for a while. Companies are responding to this.
The IP cams and routers I've bought in the past couple years (Foscam and ASUS) have rolled their own dynamic DNS service and built it in to their product. They use to just use Dyn until their customers started complaining saying Dyn is no longer free.
I have not needed Dyn's service in a while.
Documents with "shared" access on network drives do not open properly. The render correctly, but LibreOffice will remove the shared status causing the next person to open it to lock the file and have it no longer shared.
That's the only situation I've found, but it is a pretty big deal at my office. I use LibreOffice everywhere except there.
Yes, those are extensions, but it is *extremely* common. Maybe it is not "standard", but it may as well be part of it. I have yet to find a DVI that a dumb DVI/HDMI adapter cannot do a proper conversion and work with all TVs.
It is very common for A/V companies to use the audio extension for DVI instead of HDMI. They do this because they do not want to pay the license fees for the "proper" HDMI port. Just toss in the 50 cent adapter in to the box and your done.
We've been sending audio over DVI for at least 5 years. It is not a hack. It is part of the DVI-D / DVI-I standard.
It is the go-to choice for small business manufacturers not wanting to pay expensive HDMI license fees.
I graduated with a BS in Computer Engineering with High Honors back in 2003. I found an EE job without much difficulty. In 2006, I quit Electrical Engineering and went to Software Engineering.
I'm very pleased. I earn more, enjoy it more, and I have no problems finding work. Last time I looked, I had 2 good offers in a little over a month.
I used to be a Java fan until I found Qt. I see no reason for Java except in very narrow cases.
I stopped using ad servers, and my ad revenues went up. How did I do this?
I ripped out the Google ads and made myself manual text links to Amazon with my affiliate code.
Here is an example from one of my sites:
http://paydowncalc.com/
Adblock does not block that simple little link. It gets clicked way more often than my normal Google ads ever did. Amazon also pays far better than Google ever paid me.
Also, I have never gotten any complaints about my simple little ad either.
I consider this switch a "win-win".
I used Qt Quick briefly. It seems like you get a lot of deep powerful customization, but that comes at a cost. It eventually pissed me off so I went back to QWidget, and my productivity soared.
I would not have completed my project in a reasonable time using Qt Quick. It is not "quick". Sometimes, you just want to drop tables, check boxes, buttons, etc. on to your main window, tie the click event to a slot, and call it done. You are fine with whatever default styling and rendering that Qt and the OS decide is appropriate for the widget's click/hover/etc event.
It seems with Qt Quick, you have to specify all that nonsense. Plus, the Qt Quick editor tool felt complex and confusing. I avoided it and did everything by hand. Qt Designer for QWidgets is a drag-n-drop breeze. I even got my manager on board after he saw me using it. He is an EE, and he really likes it. He is used to spending $500 on Visual Studio Pro to what Qt Designer does better for free.
Maybe I just needed to study Qt Quick more to get past the learning curve, but I knew how to do it the widget way, and I wanted the project done.
Has anybody had success migrating their project from QWidgets to Qt Quick? Unless I see a strong compelling reason, I am sticking with QWidgets. It works really well for me.
When they do, the add-on should work there too. It covers all the Advance Digital news properties.
My local paper (AL.com) got hit by the same fate as the New Orleans newspaper (NOLA.com): a reduced schedule, and a horrible redesign.
There is now a massive floating banner that covers a full third of my netbook screen. It is intolerable.
Therefore, I wrote Firefox and Chrome add-ons to remove the floating banner. It works on NOLA.com, AL.com, MLive.com, and MassLive.com.

Let the professor decide what is and is not appropriate. That's their job. We don't need more blanket rules.
