I think there are two types of people. Those who still fetishize hardware, and the rest of us who just care about the product created by the hardware. A carpenter (I don't speak from experience, merely from analogy) is probably more

Did you ever consider that it's most likely a bug between Skype and your webcam driver? Here's my thinking. Even if Skype _did_ want to continue recording you after you quit the application, I'd imagine that they'd have

I clicked on the link within an hour of the article being posted and the page wasn't loading properly. I thought that's what it was supposed to do and it was a clever commentary on the fact that this page wasn't finished.

Is it just me, or do these performance numbers lead anyone else to believe that JeroMQ is more performant than ZeroMQ? I can probably believe that running on a modern JVM would buy you a little bit of an advantage, but these numbers seem l

Heaven forbid that you spend sometime actually focusing on a single topic and immersing yourself in it to try to see the layers authors may have put into their books. If you're reading something that requires that little of your focus

Am I the only one who puts on their 'skeptical hat' when I hear a claim of 'three times more likely'?? Especially when I see numbers as low as 4.4% and 1.4%. sigh statistics... amirite?

I'm glad the title of the article isn't some sensationalist junk like, 'App Engine should be shot in the face,' or 'Why I left the barren wasteland of useless App Engine and moved onto the greener pastures of my hom

Yes, and while Atlassian's Stash bears the same name as the git command, bamboo.io has nothing to do with continuous integration or Wacom tablets or any such related software. I'm going to keep calling Bamboo bamboo and if I ever

I think it's difficult to refrain from such sophomoric behavior when the title of the article so blatantly aligns with the joke. If an article was submitted with the title, "Beans, beans, they're good for your heart..."

Are you happy with it? I've had my eye on Zenbooks for a while. I was about to pull the trigger on one, but have decided to either wait for Haswell, or consider getting a (silly) taichi 31 when they come out.
