Michael: "I must've put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. ----, I always do that. I always mess up some mundane detail." Peter: "Oh! Well, this is not a mundane detail, Michael!" Michael: "Hey, quit getting pissed at me. Alri

It's interesting to see this trend of breathless articles where people who don't grasp the intended design of Facebook assume some malign purpose behind anything that confuses them on the site. Not so much because of the dim view of Faceboo

On one hand I'm sad to see the attempt of opening a direct sales channel called off. I still think it would succeed in time, as people in general become familiar with the handsets and Android. On the other hand, I've advised every (non-tech

Disappointing to hear that Steam Cloud data isn't currently (won't be?) portable across all supported platforms. Doesn't currently affect me as I use Steam games via Wine or on Windows directly, but I'm rather excited about the possibility

'gem install rails' is no easier or harder than 'cpan -i Catalyst::Devel' ...Perhaps from your perspective.

Interesting. My "following" and "followers" counts just dropped to 0.

A guy I know has been working on something of the sort for awhile. I'm sure he'd appreciate some thoughtful input from enlightened beings such as yourselves. =^) http://socknet.net/w/The_Socknet

I view it this way as well. There is a tipping point, a critical mass, where everything after will be viewed in terms of this dominant product/organization. Google, World of Warcraft, Facebook, Windows... all of these things conquered thei

Better than removing the deluge of unwanted app notifications individually would be a list, off to the side, of apps your friends have used that you haven't opted in or out of yet. Opt in and they all show up, opt out and it's added to a li

I am very happy with the Serval (v3) I've been using for about two and a half years. A great resource for evaluating the available models and gauging customer response is the official support forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php

I've successfully upgraded my first-gen iPhone through VirtualBox several times. You just have to babysit it and re-enable the device in the USB list after each time it restarts.

I wish I could be excited about that, but because the iPod and iTunes don't support FLAC I have to maintain duplicate, MP3-encoded copies of all of my FLAC-encoded files, and I don't want the duplicates cluttering up my Rhythmbox library. S

As he said, "what's the good news and what's the bad news?" The reason that fortune and emotion are being conflated in the discussion is because whether an event is considered good or ill fortune depends on the perspective of the protagonis

Likewise hockey. Lots of highly-engaged play for about an hour. With a DVR I only spend about an hour and a half per game including some interviews, maybe overtime/shootout, and replays.

The NHL will often mic up players as well. It's amusing to imagine how much editing must be required before they have enough material to broadcast without incurring FCC fines.

Hi, Joel. I updated the title. Maybe because I only recently moved to an area where Yelp has a presence, but I hadn't noticed this article until today.

It's amazing to me that big media still doesn't understand that competing on convenience is how they will turn casual thieves into happy customers. Making your products as easy or easier to consume by legal means than not is how to win.

Not even a nod toward id Software. Sad. Also, I have to know, what is "Scottish indenting"?

Off-topic perhaps, but that is an atrocious use of blogging for affiliate marketing dollars. Maybe it's time to hunt down an ad blocking extension for Chrome.

Offshoring internal support? Is that common now? (I haven't worked at a big company in some years.)

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with a copy of The Pragmatic Programmer on its way to tatters as a result of chronic re-reading; I'd begun to think I wasn't getting out of it what I should be. I likewise recommend it to other programme

This thinking has led me to start (and continue) two projects so far: a Twitter client and a Google Reader replacement. I'm constantly questioning the value of my efforts when solutions already exist, but it turns out that irritation is a p

I took a somewhat similar route. My math education after grade school was poor. I had disinterested teachers with the exception of one, under whom I advanced quickly and almost enabled me to catch up with my peers, however under the next
