Having recently studied operating systems in school, I am not so sure the Linux kernel can be used for such a great variety of systems. It is built to support a set of system calls that are tightly coupled with Unix heritage, including its

I personally prefer AbiWord because of the startup time, but it failed to display Word document vector graphics at all. Open/LibreOffice did not display them correctly at first, but displayed them better in later versions. Later I managed t

While I can't read much of any CJK languages, I am interested in seeing code samples from these Chinese and Japanese programming languages. Anyone know where to look? What obstacles or advantages does the character sets give these languages

I'm on a recently installed Fedora. I figured that it would be what I would settle with once I got tired of fiddling with things on Arch. A pretty good selling point was that it would readily handle our dual scanner and printer without me h

I made an uneducated guess for why sgdesign disliked golang.org’s web design. I think an unearthly visual design is more appropriate for adventure games, less so for software tools. That does not mean that only “mysterious” visual design is

I had fun making a horizontal web page once. It might have worked better if the columns were more segmented so that you didn’t have to scroll down and up and then down again. That way you could get more content for less scrolling and mainta
