In the hunger games (good movie btw) there are windows that also function as screens. So the main character is looking out at this huge cityscape and suddenly the window turns into a screen with somebody video-calling her. I thought that wa

using a text browser at all feels quite pointless these days, as much as I like them. Even programming website (case in point stack overflow) just don't work at all without javascript and images.

That's how 4chan works. Of course in practice, there's often a tendency for things to descend into anarchy.

You have to remember that when chrome was released it was clearly an attempt at a firefox killer, but obviously it hasn't killed firefox, and google never realistically expected it to do so. Google chrome has done very well at sequestering

I can't imagine how a second monitor could improve productivity for anyone. What would you display on it other than a distracting irc room or twitter feed? Technological hubris at it's most despicable I say :)

who really wants to be a billionaire though. Most people can't concieve of that kind of money. A little financial stability is all anyone requires.

For a person who knows how to use a man page, ls is a simple and highly effective tool for a simple purpose. Part of becoming a unix guru is learning to deal with the idiosyncrasies of the system. I see it as much like learning a natural la

I presume the author is female, according to her use of the feminine pronoun in referring to programmers generally. Nice to get a female perspective. I appreciate her emphasis on all the qualities beyond coding itself that contribute to a g

Do you really think so? If the software remained largely unchanged, I don't think it would make a lot of difference to their business generally, and people who buy macs wouldn't experience much of a difference. As far as I understand, compa

I suppose we just have to have faith in the average techie's ability to bypass these restrictions, which seem to be becoming a global phenomenon, not just a western one. OK I know china has blocked a huge amount of sites for years, but it's

You might think facebook needs to show respect to it's users, but clearly it doesn't. The relationship between them is one where facebook feels free to abuse their user's trust in the service by being awkward and unfair with their personal

There seems to be a disproportionate difference between perceived intelligence of males and females. The males rank much lower. Could this be due to a bias towards males in the people who were voting? I imagine if the voting sample was most

Just use thunderbird if you're on a desktop or laptop (ie. not an ios or android device, although I'm sure they have equivalents). I recommend installing muttator, the equivalent of vimperator for thunderbird. It will make the time you spen

The problem with tv for the past 50 years or so is that it has encouraged a passive relationship between culture and its consumers. It kills conversation, discourages activity, its one-sidedness is bad for people. The internet has come to t

That old adage that you can stave off memory loss and general degeneration of cognitive ability by keeping your mind active always seems strikingly obvious to me, and I think it's pretty much true for people at any age. And anyway, what the

As much as I think sublime is beautiful and rather useful, I think I'll have to stick with vim. I've invested too much time learning how to use it and configuring it to throw all that away, and besides, it's that effort that has made me so

in hindsight this comment seems a little harsh. It's not fair at all to compare the two in terms of performance when google is a huge multinational with servers all over the world and ddg only has a few (I imagine)

I always liked the site but to be honest after using it as my default search engine briefly in chromium, i found it didn't quite compare to google in terms of: 1. Performance. There's a small but significant gap between the two services in
