Interesting. I know a few times I've had to kill the dropbox process while changing my selective sync settings before.

I aggressively use selective sync, and have since as long as I can remember yet I haven't got an email like this, so it may only affect specific users.

or run the new 64-bit chrome. I could never get the DirectWrite flag to work for me. Finally I got things working via registry changes, but I undid them and installed the new 64-bit beta and it's been amazing.

I'm failing to see how this differs from http://www.cacert.org/, though perhaps this would be more strict on participation?

what browser are you using? looks great to me on firefox. chrome butchers fonts though.

So, for HBO including their Go product with their subscription to everyone, I should stick it to HBO by for renting everything because Comcast is tacking on an additional fee (forcing me to upgrade my internet to higher tier)?

Signed up for yesterday, had to pay $5 comcast tax for HBO go (HBO = $15, them "letting" me use HBO go - $5).

This system is bull shit.

"We charge <5% of your vehicles sales price" "Simple 5% commission."

As an engineer, that really bothers me.

After using Windows 8 since release, I kind of prefer the current start menu to the old school one, but I guess I'm in the minority.

Same for Firefox on Windows

I actually run mine at 1920 x 1080 @ 2x so that everything is super crisp. I have a retina macbook and it was just painful looking at my other monitors.

I haven't tried the 28" monitor because it suffers from the 30hz problem as well, so instead I got the 24" Ultrasharp (~$200 more on amazon) and it's amazing. It supports DisplayPort 1.2 so it can do 60hz. It supports HDMI as well, but not the newer version so you are limited to 30hz if you want to use HDMI.

Ugh, I hate lawsuits. Amazon often clearly states under the price "Note: This item may be available at a lower price from other sellers that are not eligible for Amazon Prime."

It was less than $2 USD.

It definitely is, I don't think the person who said it was really covering all the subtleties of the statement, they were just answering my question to them as to why they chose Portuguese to be the first localized stackoverflow site.

When I was interviewing with Stack Exchange, one of the employees there made this off-hand comment (not direct quote, but probably close): "Brazil is seeing a lot of out sourcing work with high quality output but for whatever reason they just don't seem that interested in learning English, so we are localizing the site"

I've been using Digg Reader since the last time news broke about Feedly doing junk like this and I have really liked it. The only thing I dislike is that something steals focus away when navigating via j / k, so for long articles you have to click into the article pane to then use up / down arrows to scroll. It also seems to refresh feeds a little slower than feedly / google reader, but that's pretty minor.

Other than those two small issues, Digg Reader is fantastic.

When I interviewed with amazon they let me know their decision within two days.

Fantastic, I'm in the market for a USB gigabit ethernet adapter as the thunderbolt one from Apple (and all other thunderbolt adapters it would seem) disable the sleep on windows. I found this on Amazon in the US under the brand "Unitek."

Sweet, Apple will make that amount of money in ~146 seconds. That will certainly show them.

I just wish google music had a desktop client (or support in chrome) to hook into operating system keyboard shortcuts like play, pause, forward, next, etc.

Every time I've used Amazon chat support I've had a great experience. I'm pretty sure everyone has had one bad support experience with a company regardless of whether it was chat, phone, or in-person.

What happens when you press the power button is configurable in windows, and I would guess that by default it shuts down on a desktop and sleeps on a laptop.

The problem here is that Apple put the power button above the delete button and you end up sleeping your computer very often just because you miss the delete key.

SassyStudio, provides much needed support for SCSS in Visual Studio.

Currently it supports compiling css (via libsass), syntax highlighting, outlining, and intellisense.

This is great, I was ready to buy a MotoX until I saw it was $750 unlocked, when at the same time the Nexus 4 was only $350. I'm not surprised that they didn't sell that many of them.

I would say that I am probably about average in my consumption, and according to my router last month i did 217GB down and 22GB up. So I would say they are probably about right, not that I agree with what they are doing. My primary download usage is netflix / hulu plus, and primary upload usage is backblaze.

There was an earlier thread today that did the numbers on this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6689591

Yup, I'm sick of my galaxy nexus lagging in updates, so I'm switching to T-Mobile.

How many projects does chromium have? I typically work in a solution w/ about 175 projects and it only takes about 10 seconds to load up for me on 2012.

I do. It's fantastic. I also have 8.1 on my work computer which is AD, but you can link your microsoft account to that account as well which allows all preferences to sync.
