I think the name can be a little polarizing. I've had people laugh and say "That's terrible" and others burst out laughing and say "I love it, that's great". I like laughing, so it's all good :)

I guess a lot of developers believe that software patents such as these don't pass the "non-obvious" test, and therefore filing one is seen as wrong. I know that when I read some software patents (I haven't read this one, so not sure about

I find that lyrics can distract me, but not when I'm in "The Zone". Classical music seems to help me reach the zone, so my playlist begins with a couple of classical albums then continues into my favorite modern music with lyrics. Once that

To someone who thinks that gay marriage is about equality, this could be seen as similar to a companies stance on racism or slavery (which is obvious now, but wasn't a hundred years ago). If Google believe that in the future people will lo

People most often buy things they want ahead of what they need, unless it's food and shelter. And even then, they usually want a type of food or shelter that they don't really need, and will buy it even when they can't afford it.

I agree. I think that a lot of the people using IE6 are in corporate environments and they can't upgrade until senior management make the decision. When they do upgrade, I reckon the majority won't be to Chrome, but to IE7, as there will be

If you want to get people in large corporations using your site, you have to support IE6 for a while longer I think. I've worked in a few of these, and they all move extremely slowly in upgrading. I can see some of them keeping IE6 for at l

Perhaps you could do something similar by having the person transfer a very small amount into the websites bank account - just a few cents, then link that transaction to their website user account --- you should be able to query banks on wh

If you are using the "Free Transform" tool in photoshop to rotate the image, I found that rotating and scaling in the same "Free transform" session causes more jagged edges. Doing the rotate first, then doing the scale looked better. Not su

When i installed 7.10 on my laptop with a geforce go7700, the nvidia drivers worked right away. If I remember rightly, Ubuntu told me it had to use restricted nvidia drivers, I clicked ok, and then it all just worked (Except for dual monit

I use 7.10 with an external monitor and laptop. The standard display tools did not work for me, as they kept stuffing up the resolutions of each monitor, so the best solution I found was to have 2 xorg.conf files, one for 2 monitors and on

I've always thought the opposite. Mainly because I've always bought PC's because I could research and choose the parts appropriate to what I wanted to use the machine for. Then build it myself. Though this has most likely changed now that a
