Their support is great and their services are damn good as well.

My work place have been on the previous storage box BX40 for 2TBs of off-site storage for 4 years. This announced update to the service, shows that BX21 service has just upgraded our offsite backup to 5TBs and no difference to the monthly price we already pay!

At least this one appears real, compared to the noteslate many moons ago!

This video shows it perfectly, while this is an SP3, the SP4 is based on the same tech : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA4iF00YHoA

On slow strokes, you can the tracking between key points looses accuracy as if the signal between points becomes weak.

I have tried everything I can to correct the issue like changing the stylus battery, 100 point calibration and driver updates. I'm pretty much convinced that N-trig just cannot be compared with Wacom (even the iPad Pro does a better job)

However, there are programs (ClipPaint and Mischief are my prime examples) have built-in mouse smoothing which greatly reduces the jitter but means the drawing action lags behind by a second or so.

Sadly no, I'm consistently reverting back to my 21ux, the jitter of slow stylus movement drives me nuts on the surface pro 4

It's a damn shame that they was unable to keep to their original A4 / Thin concepts. Looks as chunky as my current Toshiba M700 convertible laptop.

Still looking for a tablet like device with Wacom Digitizer and very high PPI. Hopefully the upcoming SP4 and Dell XPS 12 will tick all the boxes!

Pretty cool for an open source project. Reminders me very much of Filterforge (http://filterforge.com/) just missing the photoshop filter part.

Orchid Righteous 3D, the original voodoo add-on card! Remember playing Fatal Racing / Carmageddon with it too!

Although a bit too big for my liking (still using a Galaxy S2) I wonder if that LCD will be in the next Oculus Rift iteration, having 1280x1440px per eye!
Re:if (osName.startsWith("windows 9")) on Wednesday October 01, 2014 @06:07PM (#8398106)
I have come to realize that 99.9% of these string comparisons examples are in Java. Does Sun/Oracle not trust developers to check `os.version` as well?
Re:if (osName.startsWith("windows 9")) on Wednesday October 01, 2014 @05:28PM (#8397867)
Now it makes sense why they are calling it Windows 10! To avoid OS String detection edge cases against "Windows 95/98"
Re:Shell Shock Exploitation Vectors on Sunday September 28, 2014 @04:45AM (#8379269)
I wonder if anyone has thought of any indirect vectors? Imagine a Windows based virus that can scan a private network and use the shellshock exploit to infect never-before-seen unix devices with a HTTP service?
Re:TXT Record XSS on Thursday September 18, 2014 @01:03PM (#8336303)
Wasn't expecting that at all! Had several tabs opened and was really confused for a few seconds while I tried to find the tab with 'youtube on autoplay'.

Firefox needs to show the 'play' icon for the audio tag.

To nudge a brain cell or two, the plugin is RayFire ( http://rayfirestudios.com/ ) and is a really awesome tool for destruction!
Re:An analysis of the Adobe password dump on Sunday November 03, 2013 @02:46AM (#6662536)
I have just seen this dump, 153 million email addresses just waiting to be spammed.
I know a customer that got hit by this Tuesday morning. Unsurprisingly, Avast did nothing. I just told her the bad news and clean-installed Windows.

I have tried to find the private key with sample files, using known file byte headers, the public key and brute force on the private key. Sadly, no luck yet.
