Now that's just silly. You clearly didn't use both the 1st generation iPod and its competitors. I fiddled around with the Creative Jukebox or whatever it was called before buying the first iPod: the forward next buttons barely worked, the

This is completely bogus. Google has been much worse about privacy than Microsoft. OOXML or how much you hate Windows or whatever has nothing to do with privacy.

So we should all abandon our frameworks entirely for C++ because we're going to be getting Yahoo levels of traffic, trees are people too, and no one's ever achieved 280 req/sec with a framework because things like caching don't exist. And

The difference between keyboard friendliness on OSX and Windows has always been fascinating to me. On OSX, even being able to tab between buttons in a modal dialogue is off-by-default. Opening folders in the Finder is cmd+O instead of jus

This is a prototype: "Mozilla's Vladimir Vukićević has developed a working prototype which demonstrates the viability of the plugin approach... There are still some missing pieces, however, including support for several drawing functions. I

Regarding #22, "A web-based Excel/database hybrid," have you ever seen dabbledb.com? It's pretty much fits your description completely and I've really liked it the few times I've had a need for it.

To find words that end in "me," try: egrep "^.{3,3}me$" /usr/share/dict/words The 3,3 means 3 characters minimum (anything less is invalid) and 3 maximum. So increase that second number to get more words.

Troy, the city RPI is in, is a really unique place. Most people would call it a dump, but I found it pretty darn awesome. As James Kunstler put it: "The late 20th century bypassed it so completely that it evaded the kind of false urban re

It's harder to rent a nice place than it is to buy one. In general, landlords don't take care of rental units as well as they would their own house, and the same goes for the tenants. Of course, we're just talking percentages, but in th

My 1st generation MacBook Pro was definitely too hot to use on one's lap. But, I've seen reviews that said the 2nd generation one ran a lot cooler (due to the 65nm Merym Intel chip), and now the latest generation is said to run even cooler

Yeah, I completely agree, but I don't think most people realize what this means. Deciding to make something simple isn't a choice you make up front. It's something you fight the whole way through. You have to fight your own temptations t
