I'm German, and can confirm two things: - Almost anyone that would be able to actually use a credit card online has a credit card - Everyone i know dislikes credit cards, including me. They still have the correct stigma of paying with

Almost all my mobile development experience(of which there isnt much to start with) has been acquired via PhoneGap, meaning i only did native if absolutely necessary. The biggest issue and something that has gotten me into a state of white-

Sure, humans can react rash when emotions get involved; that's an explanation of what happened, NOT an excuse. I would hope that someone with power in such a big OSS project would have the self control to not act on his emotions and work of

I find this whole argument moot. DNT is binding neither in a legal nor in a technical sense. If you don't trust someone to handle your internet tracking history, why would you trust them to keep an informal promise, ESPECIALLY considering t

Its nice for you that you're advanced in your carrier that coding is such a small part of what you do, but its obvious that theres enough people that arent quite as godlike as you. Good for you. Personally, the one thing vim(and Linux) have

I had the same problem a few months ago and I went with Haskell because it has pythonic syntax(signifcant whitespace) and it's very pure, i.e. forcing you to program functionally. I think in production being able to go back to iterative pro

A single hardware configuration with a single software configuration is infinitely easier to target, test and optimize for than the free, but vast landscape of PC configurations. Here's hoping the SteamBox will give us all the advantages of

More? Probably, although it depends on how you define proper, whether you factor in aftermarket costs and whether you already have prior hardware lying around(very likely with PCs). But definitely not "way". The 600$ the PS4 is rumored to c

By your logic, I, as purely a PC gamer, shouldn't know anything about the PS3 or the XBOX360 even existing, yet i definitely know of them.

Isn't that equally the advantage and the folly of consoles? They are basically computers, but locked down. You can't do with your hardware what you want; you get told what's good. Just like with Apple, it's a golden cage; good because it's

My grandpa sucks with Windows XP AND Ubuntu. Same goes for my 6 yr old brother. A lot less what people think is intuitive is actually just learned.

Whether you're adding IDE features to vim or vim features to an IDE, you'll always going to have to live with compromises.

When i showed the film to my programming class, they said they all seemed "whiny and suicidal". Personally, i liked it, but their opinion, if somewhat pointed, has some merit.

Some have argued that even just linking to an article might get you sued. After all, most URLs include the title of the article. Obviously, courts will have to decide, but the possibility alone is frightening.

What about Thinkpads? They seem to be Windows/Linux equivalent of the Macbooks.

Frankly, i'm exactly on the other side with this issue. I'm appalled and, if not scared, at least apprehensive, that Reddit throws freedom of speech under the bus at the sight of trouble. I understand that, from a business point of view, it

I'm thinking it depends on your graphics card. I have the nvs 8400m in me T61 and it's giving a heck of a lot of problems. For example, connecting an external screen means fudging with the xconf. Also screen brightness doesnt work. Probably

I disagree that "the terrorists won". If you actually look at what Osama claimed as the reason in his videos, "all" they wanted is for the USA/foreign forces to get off their land (oh, and for Israel to not exist anymore). It was never an "

This is suprisingly fun. At first, you feel like a badass, reading the documentation for every function call, googling for exotic bugs. Then you feel like a total idiot when you notice how simple it actually is. Finally, you laugh at people

I don't think changing the way we structure our files is that bad an idea, although the iOS version of it isn't really great. Folders are basically a way of grouping files of a similar topic/concern together. Files can belong to many topics

I would think that this is just the first stage towards said box. First, they make their software work on the only OS you can ship for free and then they make their own distro, which they put on their box. If they're smart about it, their d

If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for everything...or something like that. Science and especially statistics have never (and sadly never will be) perfect or free of human bias, but not believing anything outright leaves you open to mani

One thing that is pretty useful is the multi-monitor support. You get a taskbar for every monitor. Apart from that, though, Windows 8 has added absolutely nothing to my experience.

Single connector, but not single adapter. Daisy chaining also seems error prone. If all the adapters you have to take with you weigh 400g, you haven't really gained anything. Also, having to reattach everything all the time seems like a has

It is impressive, but considering the obvious compromises(replaceable components and ports) and the probable compromises(harder serviceability) i wouldn't quite call it a miracle. I also don't understand what the rationale is behind sacrifi

Personally, while I understand why thinness might be great for some, I don't understand how they can sacrifice essential features(exchangeable components and ports(GigE)) for a few mms or grams on a laptop that is clearly marked "Pro". I'd
