Do you have a preview of all 139 glyphs? I don't care if they're bitmapped and watermarked, I just want to see what's available before I pre-order.

Also, .edu and a couple ccTLDs. Basically, any TLD that has a rigid filtering process for obtaining one actually means something.

Look around, you'll find them. I found a Minecraft server host that actually gives me root access to a VPS with MC preinstalled. I disabled MC and now have a VPS with which to do what I please. I don't know if it's the best deal out there b

Yeah, I feel that Microsoft is bastardizing or abandoning everything that Microsoft Surface (the table computer) was supposed to be by repurposing its name into Microsoft Surface (the tablet computer) just to compete with iPad.

I think Twitter Bootstrap and Zurb Foundation are trying to bring some of that consistency back into the Web. Even completely unique applications with their own design and functionality are easy to navigate when they start with these framew

This was often done in the past via "Christmas Letters," or other annual (or semi-annual) letters. A family would write a one- or two-page letter detailing their major life events and experiences since their last letter, and send it to frie

No, I'm buying a Mac because I need a UNIX-based operating system that can run the Adobe Creative Suite. My fiancee, who is practically hardware illiterate, just installed brand new RAM and a new SSD into her 4-year-old MacBook. If she had

If I want to distribute an extension that users want but Google won't allow, such as a pornography browsing extension (disallowed by the CWS policies [1]), there's a HUGE change from an end user's viewpoint. I am FORCED to host it elsewhere

No, nobody has purchased that app. A few people have purchased a $5 recipe app that I made, but nobody has purchased the $999 joke app. If they did, I'd feel really bad and offer them a refund.

It happened to me. I am the developer of a joke extension [1] that got reported for abuse one too many times, and Google took my developer account off the Web Store, then they sent me an email about it [2], stating that it was breaking a po

Let's be honest: The average user doesn't expect anything at all to do with CRX files or extension updates. They just expect an extension to install when they click install, and to work from then on.

For one thing, this can't be done without a mouse to drag-and-drop with. This limits the extension of off-store extensions to those who can use a mouse, which is an accessibility issue. Are handicapped users or keyboard-only users just thro

The official Google Chrome .deb for Debian/Ubuntu downloaded from google.com/chrome sets up a software source as well, so you can't say that's not how .deb files work. kerrick@psyduck:~$ ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ google-chrome.l

Indeed. I can simply double click a downloaded .deb file and it'll install. To get the equivalent of this new Chrome policy, it'd have to require me to save the .deb file to a specific location, open Synaptic Package Manager, and click-and-

It's been mentioned before, but I don't know that it has enough of a market to be commercially viable. Here's a tweet I wrote a few weeks ago about it: > I'd really love to see a laptop running a linux command line environment with an e

It's certainly nice when UI/UX people run GNU/Linux distributions. Daniel Foré is in charge of Elementary OS [1]. Because he's a designer, the project already has a proper set of Human Interface Guidelines [2], a set of uniquely designed (a

LTS releases are supposed to do this. The six-month releases can be considered, for all intents and purposes related to stability, "testing" releases. The LTS releases are supposed to be stable enough for large-scale rollouts, with three ye

Thanks! Fixed the issue in v1.0.6. One of the libraries I was using, reverse markdown, couldn't handle strings that aren't UTF-8.

It is deprecated, but the replacement API requires you to have an API key and charges you for more than 100 searches per day. I'm using the deprecated API until it is discontinued, then I'll release a new version of the gem that will, unfor
