How can he possibly be the best when everyone one of his projects have failed? I also admire him, but lately he seems better at angel investing and spotting other peoples successes than building his own.

http://hover.com is very straightforward, simple, and doesn't upsell you.

Google has "verbatum" search. It is a little hidden under the "more search tools" link in the sidebar, but it does provide a non-fuzzy search.

I'd be surprised if many people choosing to run a command line github interface wouldn't know about aliases.

Are you running that on a single server? Care to share the specs?

I'm one of those on the fence. I've spent most of my programming life working on PHP and the recent barrage of negativity against PHP has made me more interested in learning another language, if just to make an educated comparison and see w

Considering the history Apple has of "absorbing" the features of popular third party apps, at this point developers should almost expect it to happen sooner or later.

Joyful is the right word. I love that I can work across windows / linux / mac with the same awesome editor and it looks / behaves almost identically.

And an arguably much better terminal at that. That being said this is still a huge advantage over Windows.

so far it seems ok to me, it hasn't got the super huge interface like on mac & windows, apart from the call window it largely looks the same.

What is your contention to their choice here? It seems that are simply choosing the best tool for the job, it is not as if they are rewriting their whole web frontend in Clojure too.

It looks pretty nice! How can I be sure this will continue to be maintained far into the future though? At least with Zend / Symfony I know they are not going anywhere for the foreseeable future.

In Europe IE will also asks you to choose a default search engine on first start.

I wonder if that appstore version of Google Maps could be blocked under "duplication of functionality"?

How do you go about searching the DB if everything is stored as a JSON object? Are you using an index like solr/sphinx instead of doing any searches directly in mysql?

Actually Zenbooks ship with two different touchpads, mine has the Elantech and works OK.

Under linux (normal web browsing, coding, etc.) I get around 5 1/2 hours. With windows that goes up to around 7 hours. I think much of the windows battery saving comes from the very low power mode it switches into automatically when you unp

I'm using a zenbook and with the 3.2 kernal (included in ubuntu 12.04beta) almost everything is working great. There is a small change that is needed to enable suspend, but otherwise everything works out of the box with no extra drivers nee

Its a great idea, but will customers really be comfortable providing websites with their bank details in order to make a single purchase?

by balac 15y ago
True, but its a lot harder to remember once you have a few variations.

Surely if the servers are located in the US you cannot argue that it is really a foreign post office.

Same on a desktop ubuntu 11.04 in chrome. Also you should really change your root experiments.bonnevoy.com domain to something more interesting than the default centos apache page.

I have always gotten the feeling from them that they don't really want to help you find the cheapest flights. Little things like not allowing you to search for flights from all airports in a city, instead making you do multiple searches mak
