It's actually not so much netcat, but the Unix system that has such flexibility.

Very cool. It's interesting to see how elevation affects the wind here ( http://www.theodora.com/maps/new9/usa_elevation_map.gif ), but I'd wish there was a worldwide version. (I'm aware that you need a data source) Should you be interested

I've never liked these scrolling animations. You need too much precision to see a part of the page clearly, while with normal scrolling it wouldn't matter if the information you're reading is at the bottom or top of the screen.

That's interesting too, but differs in that there still needs to be a unobstructed path to the object from the laser, in which case it could as well have been a camera. Still very clever, though.

I disagree. The author seems to forget the fact that packages are only a layer of added ease of installing new software. The act of installing new software from source or binaries distributed by the author is still as free as ever. I admit

Both models have an advantage. The padding outside the width makes it easy to make a border that doesn't touch the box, while the padding inside the box makes... well... padding a box easier. Personally, I find the padding inside the box mo

Minwin didn't ship on its own, but was really an artifact of their efforts to make the components in the kernel less dependent on each other, while developing Windows Vista. I'm not sure how successful their efforts were, seeing as even "Se

I agree. A problem is that the search results are below the fold on a 800px high screen, and the text would be more descriptive if it said "type to search for features" or something like that, and not be selected on page load (in Chromium a
