I have a dell 9700 and I had this happen just yesterday on a god damn flight. I am still pissed. I never put my laptop to sleep/hibernate. I always shutdown. I have no idea but it somehow turned on in my bag, I felt it on my leg on the flight. I opened the bag and it was freaking hot. I have no idea how this happened. I noticed sometimes when I docked I click shutdown, it doesn't shutdown.

The other thing is there is no freaking light on the laptop other than the keyboard lighting to indicate it's off. I have to flip the laptop and listen to see if it's on, I look like a crazy person in public. I love the laptop but this is downright ridiculous. As I am typing on it, I smell an electronic burn but the laptop seems fine.

"Test Pilot", "Experiment" are not words I want to see when it comes to my login credentials.

I've avoided AWS because I'm using Azure more (not that I have a problem with AWS)

They can't even keep a URL shortner service up and running?

I know nothing about game development or the likes. But I just browsed the site. Wouldn't it make sense to maybe create a torrent or huge iso file of this info instead of downloading each asset manually?

This is a bit confusing, I have a website and I log IP addresses in my web server log and I use google analytics, what do I need to do?

Hmm, you'd think this would make the stock go down (today), but it hasn't yet.

Mr Williams, a 32-year-old former marine, was playing “Sprint Vector”, a VR running game: players swing hand-held controllers to simulate motion. Though he has been standing in one place, his brain believes he has just run for several miles.

I wonder if anyone has tried using this tech to somehow trick the body into activating what happens when one actually goes running? Can I get a workout by just watching myself run in this VR world???

I use VSTS, it's actually improved much over the years!
