NearlyFreeSpeech is, IMO, the only registrar worth using. It is simple, and the site is clean to a fault. There is zero advertising or service upselling - each page contains what it needs to and nothing else. They're not the place to go to

I kind of get the feeling that that's coming. I have no proof, of course, but I just have the feeling that Apple isn't satisfied with the current setup, either. Indeed, we saw the Mac App Store launch as a separate application instead of be

The article said: * 7" resistive (capacitive available for about $30 extra) That's a $30 I absolutely would be spending.

I don't think it's Tumblr, but what about Posterous? For websites where the blog is just a part of the site and not the central component, Wordpress is overkill. And maintenance of updates and plugin updates is a pain once you start getting

I liked The Ruby Programming Language book because they attempted to do just that. K&R is a good model for books to follow.

"Big and boring"... I thought this was going to be another one of those posts about writing "boring" code instead of being excessively clever, as boring is well tested and boring is easily maintained. Instead, it's another "I don't like usi

I was hoping this article was going to make the "stop separating account sizes by number of repos instead of, you know, actual usage" point. Github will get my company's money when they stop doing just that. We have many small, low-traffic

Thanks for that, because I was wondering what the hell a popular CSS framework had to do with RPM/yum.

What other options are out there that are (a) cross-platform and (b) can be set to auto-answer video calls? Skype has been in our plans for our poor man's Telepresence setup, but at the same time, I've never been super comfortable with rely

My response always is: 1) Pick one. It doesn't matter. 2) If you're still asking me after I've given Answer #1, then Ruby or Python. But really, it still doesn't matter.

You also don't hear about the attempts that were successful and unbeknownst to the hacked service provider.

I would understand if it were a dev device. But if it were, then there'd be no need to mail order some different model.

It was so necessary to have an iPad 2 RIGHT NOW that you had to go run out and buy a model you didn't even want?

The whole thing will change - because what GSM provider in the US are they going to worry about people unlocking and switching to? The release says this will "enhance [AT&T's] network capacity". That means T-Mobile isn't likely to exist

Your collection of HTML, CSS, and server-side scripts thrown onto an Apache server is not a website!

For me, the rare times when I'm on Windows, this has become, "Internet Explorer is the application I use to download Ninite".

Understandable, but still, when it comes to comparing how IE 9 stacks up to "Firefox" on rendering engines and memory usage, it doesn't seem particularly meaningful to compare the brand new IE 9 to the old Firefox just because IE 9 released

Are you comparing IE 9 to Firefox 4.0, or Firefox 3.6?

tl;dr: Guy keeps buying shitty MS mobile products, MS dutifully keeps making shitty mobile products. Very reminiscent of Apple fans in the '90s, buying crap products because they've defined themselves to be on Team Apple.

They can be scared all they want, but between the iPad and Kindle, they are all I am buying now. I'm done with big, heavy, space-eating print media, just as I grew tired of collecting music on little silver discs. A decade ago when I left h

Only problem with that is that it's really not true. ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso: 695M ubuntu-10.10-server-amd64.iso: 642M natty-desktop-amd64.iso: 681M natty-server-amd64.iso: 653M Not sure I would call that "substantially different". E

It would be nice if they rolled server install into the same disc, because really all Ubuntu Server is is a different base set of packages from the exact same repositories.

Most people that use SVN on Windows seem to use TortoiseSVN instead of a command line. Similarly, most Windows developers that I encounter who run Git just use TortoiseGit. (And TortoiseHg for Mercurial for that matter). The whole "Git on W

Before we get to being stuck on IE9, first we're going to have to survive being stuck on IE8 - the last version of IE supported in XP. One of the reasons for being stuck on IE6 is that it's the last IE supported by Windows 2000 (and there a
