What does inDesign have to do with anything? This article isn't talking about using Windows or Mac software, and especially not proprietary Adobe software. Also, if he's writing a book, why would he want to save anything as a &quo

These are the kinds of what-if questions that scare people into using the most popular framework-- well, what if security isn't as good? What if it's not properly cached? What if the rewrite is hard? What a load of bologna.

Even today, the iPod hardware is excellent and long-lasting; if you ever need a portable music player with a long battery life and that's great for hacking, try getting a 5th-generation iPod Video and upgrading it. It's fantastic:

This is quite a long-running project, and has tens of thousands of man-hours invested in it. Yet you, taking several seconds to post an Internet comment, declare it a "half-assed Linux distro," without even having properly read th

Why? Even my small, middle-class suburban neighborhood has AT&T fiber: it's cheap, fast, reliable, and available in most places where people would be interested in such a fast connection. What's the issue?

One of the major features of a language is its syntax-- and here, it seems as if the author, instead of simply using another language, is "fixing" Java's verbosity by installing a compiler pass that converts "shorthand&q

How would providing open access to their public data disallow them from using the network effect to their advantage? I'm not really following. I get how it would enable alternative front-ends, but just looking at other platforms, these

Buy a T-series Thinkpad. They're sturdy, have really good Linux support, and even the older ones are extremely robust. Look for an older one, such as a T420; or, if you want a newer one, the T480. Those are going to have easily-replace

Vista being painfully slow was not limited to low-end machines. I had a fairly powerful (8GB+ RAM, new i5, etc.) gaming rig when it came out, and everything was slow on it: I'd click something in the interface and have to wait 5+ sec
