   At first I read this as 'Emacs would be better than Vim' but that's not what you're saying at all Yes, the awesomeness would be through the roof, having Vim AND Emacs on a tablet (but only with a full size keyboard with a Caps-Lock that cou

   Absolutely; I would go even farther and call it absurd. I want to see open-internet bills in Congress. I want to know how to implement such a bill so that it can coexist with something like the Patriot Act.

   How can such a bill be worded to divert criticism that the bill might interfere with the government's ability to fight "terrorism"?

   I've been using both RAK and ack for the past two days, and for some reason RAK misses things that ack catches. Probably a Cygwin issue.

    Is it possible that they were seeding bait content in a torrent swarm to collect IP addresses to sue? Or is it more likely that their employees were just torrenting at work?

    Wow I just learned about Ack as a result of your comment. This is a scale of magnitude better than grep -R [pattern] [directory] for searching through large codebases Thanks!

    To what extent can utilities like DTrace make proprietary software free? I know this is kind of a broad question, but can we detect hidden functionality in proprietary software without fully reverse-engineering it?

    Wow! this is so awesome! Thanks you! For the past two months I've been daydreaming about embedding a spreadsheet inside a single cell. It can be represented easily with XML, but it's a PITA to work with XML manually. This is such an great i

    > The least bad used to be linux with Gnome I like to think it still is. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome 2.32 on my personal laptop. I'll switch to Arch when Ubuntu ceases support for 10.04, because Gnome 2 seems much saner than uni

    Wow, you are right. I just realized that we are in a cold war. I'd like to read an analysis that draws parallels from the opposing ideologies in the current situation to the opposing ideologies of the Cold War. In lisp it would look like:

    I think about this often. Usually I try to put my laptop in the trunk when I get in the car, if I anticipate having to leave my laptop in the car when I park it. However, if I have to relocate the laptop to the trunk when I park, I'll wil

    No, thank you for writing such a wonderful piece. I just glanced over the first few chapters for the first time in over a year and was delighted. I remember stepping through that bit of assembly in chapter one with a pen and paper, then run

    Very well done. I read this book the week before I began a JavaScript class in college, and the first hundred pages alone were enough to get me through the course.

    You're totally right. For some reason I was thinking the quantity downloaded could exceed the quantity uploaded in a torrent swarm, but that's just wrong. The inputs equal the outputs. I now see that { A->B, A->C, A->D } is t

    Moreover, bittorrent connections are almost never as simple as Alice sending a file to Bob. The network topology is far more intricate, with Bob and Alice sending and receiving chunks simultaneously from dozens of seeders/leechers.

    Lateral grip could be created by coating the outer surface of the wheel with some sort of rubber. Rather than replacing rubber tires, you could just re-spray the wheels. Just a rough idea.
