Bought the Moto G for my Dad for his birthday. He's reasonably tech-savvy, and he's owned a Samsung Galaxy S2, but he loves it. He knows how much it costs and is constantly amazed at how well it performs.

I'm in Australia, and the link took me to https://www.spotify.com/au/arts/serendipity/ . Not sure what difference it makes, but if it's redirecting based on region, it might be best to leave it as is

I have the same issue, and I know it doesn't happen when using Macvim, so it's probably an iTerm problem.

Anyone know if this would be feasible in Australia? Our National Broadband Network was originally planned to be fiber-to-the-home, but changed to a fiber-to-the-node system with the change of government. Not sure how close the average home

I think that OS fragmentation/backwards-compatibility is more of a problem than screen fragmentation, definitely more so than iOS.

That's cool. I've often wondered about creating a retro DOS-shareware-style game, as a throwback to Commander Keen and Jill of the Jungle etc. It'd be a challenge working with the limited resources, but since most things run

That's awesome! Reminds me of Cave Story[1], a platforming-shooter created by 1 man over 5 years, also originally released for free. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_Story

I've played that. It still involves bluffing etc but is much less about forming alliances. Still a pretty decent game, though.

Foxit isn't open-source, so I don't think it would be legal to release a derivative under the BSD license (IANAL).

Well, in a sense. I'd still want automatic updates, but what I don't want is it to automatically force the computer to restart. This is possible to turn off in Windows, but requires fiddling with the registry. I just realised that

I agree that the desktop manager is subpar. I don't like the way it groups the windows via application (command-~ to switch between windows of the same app is nice, but I don't like how command-tabbing to an app or clicking it fro

I use multiple POSIX environments (OS X at work, Linux Mint and Xubuntu at home), and I find it handy to create common aliases for differently implemented commands to keep the environments consistent. For example, I set the letter 'o

I can totally understand that, it's definitely a preferential thing. I do like some randomness, but overall I prefer having a lot of different choices, and the challenge of trying to work out the optimal one. I think I prefer that feel

I wanted to get into this game, but I seem to remember being turned off by the amount of luck in it. Maybe I should give it another go?
