Tom Brady, Patriots, Sept. 30, 2001 Hollywood would reject this script for being too corny: Brady’s first start, after Drew Bledsoe’s serious injury the week before, was against Peyton Manning. The Patriots beat the Colts 44-13 in Foxboro, with Brady going 13 for 23 for 168 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. Peyton Manning, Colts, Sept. 6, 1998 The No. 1 overall pick was the starter from Day 1 of his career: On opening day, he was 21 for 37 for 302 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions in a 24-15 loss to the Dolphins at the Hoosier Dome....

What fewer people do is scroll down to spot two of the next 13 picks after Metcalf: Diontae Johnson at No. 66 overall and Terry McLaurin at No. 76 overall. Both have turned into exciting second-year receivers in their own right, and they’ll face off on Monday night in Week 13 when the Steelers (11-0) host the Washington Football Team (4-7). Out of opposite ends of Ohio’s Division I spectrum, Johnson and McLaurin both underproduced in college to leave doubt about their NFL futures, but they’ve already solidifed themselves as two of football’s best young players....

Is this a case of a dying screen which will need replacing or something else? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

I have Windows 7 and know about the possibility of assigning different defaults to different protocols, but I specifically need ~5 sites (which are my IE “Favorites”) to launch automatically in IE through links and through Launchy. Anyone know how I might make this happen through the Defaults pane in Windows 7, Launchy, or command script settings?

I am really interested in contributing to MakeUseOf.com. I need guidance for becoming an author.

In 2013, Google launched the first smart glasses. The Google Glass Explorer ended up being a commercial failure, but since then, multiple companies have launched their own version of smart glasses, and the field is growing more exciting by the month. So, how do smart glasses work? Are they as complicated as they sound? Read on to find out. What Are Smart Glasses? Smart glasses are wearable computer glasses that can have various functions....

There are around 90 different types of whale, which can hold their breath for around an hour or so, depending on the species. However, they usually travel up to the surface to take a breath out their blowhole every 15 minutes, and as such are never fully submerged in the water for very long. So, how exactly do they get any sleep? The short answer is, “very differently” from other types of mammal....

Most mammals’ breathing, including ours, is automatic and done without thinking about it. When we sleep, we are fully unconscious. Whales also sleep horizontally below the surface, which is known as logging. When they sleep in this position, they often look like floating logs of wood! Some whale species also swim slowly as they rest. This helps them maintain their body heat. [3] X Research source While they typically stay close to the surface, researchers have encountered whales sleeping at depths of 30 to 50 feet (10-15 m) below the surface....

The beauty of a GC is that it releases memory on your behalf, without you needing to do anything. You might, therefore, consider it such an essential feature that you’d expect every programming language to have it. Sadly, this is not the case; even a popular language like C can lack a GC. How Does Memory Allocation Work? When you run a program in any programming language, your operating system reserves a data stack in memory for that program....

But what is MapReduce, and how does it work in distributed file systems? You’ll find out in this post. What Is MapReduce? MapReduce is a data engineering model applied to programs or applications that process big data logic within parallel clusters of servers or nodes. It distributes a processing logic across several data nodes and aggregates the results into the client-server. MapReduce ensures that the processing is fast, memory-efficient, and reliable, regardless of the size of the data....

But how is a processor made? Why is it a modern marvel? How can a manufacturer fit billions of transistors into such a small package? Let’s dive deep into how Intel, one of the largest chip manufacturers globally, creates a CPU from sand. Extracting Silicon From Sand The base ingredient of any processor, silicon, is extracted from desert sand. This material is found abundantly in the earth’s crust and consists of around 25% to 50% silicon dioxide....

How Duac Works Benzoyl peroxide is a common acne treatment. You’ve probably seen it in over-the-counter and prescription acne products. Why is it so popular? Because benzoyl peroxide helps keep the pores clear of blockages while making it a less hospitable home for acne-causing bacteria. Clindamycin, an antibiotic that in this case is used topically, works a bit differently. It reduces the amount of acne-causing bacteria found on the skin....
