But Git requires that users either use cygwin or install half a linux environment in Windows. That was true, but is no longer. There is a Windows port of git called MSysGit available on google code: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit

Not exactly, they argued that the arguments the EFF put forth for carving out an exception for jail-breaking did not meet the legal requirements for carving out such an exception.

Allow people to install rejected apps, just make it tiny bit more difficult. I'd argue they already have. Jailbreaking the iPhone is trivial enough that anyone can do so if they desire rejected or non-AppStore applications.

Of what generation are you speaking? There are large populations of at least five generations still living: the "Greatest", the "Boomers", "Gen X", the "Millennials", and then whatever they decide to call the kids born after 2003.

If his rant encourages just three people to each fix a bug of the same complexity as those he could have resolved instead of writing said rant, the project breaks even. If those three people continue to submit patches, the project comes out

People have invested time and money in this platform, and yet Apple decides to change the terms of the game and screw them over completely. Investing in a platform does not guarantee you'll profit from your investment, nor does i

If the iPad were a car, it would be illegal to open the hood. That's incorrect, if the iPad were a car opening the hood would void the warranty.

I disagree, they're augmenting the current impact of a super-human level of concentration displayed by an "uberhacker" by giving the fruits of that capacity to everyone. Automating a super-human level of concentration in one part of the dev

I made that method absurdly generic, how about: get "/hi" do |url| print url end ?

The prototypical ruby case would be: def some_method(x, &block) yield x end then to call it: some_method "hey" { |v| print v } That might not look like much, but it allows you to create methods that can extend the lan

Should you have to hack __dict__ in init to get functionality that would be more easily/clearly expressed using an anonymous function?

Apple may tout the appstore now, but they only reluctantly released it. The first iteration of the iphone only supported web applications. People disliked them because they were slower and not nearly as cohesive as the core, native apps.

A lower population means less need be spent to provide health-care services per individual. That three-quarters of the Canadian population living within 150 kilometers (which is approximately 62% the distance of 150 miles) means that fewer

In 1998, a CD-ROM drive cost around $100, and ripping a CD took around twenty minutes. That was CD-ripping's nascency. We're only dipping our toes in the book-digitizing nascency, and it takes around twenty minutes to rip a book and $300 fo
