That's absolutely true, but then you aren't comparing CPUs or GPUs anymore, but the OS.

And yet it's not enough. According to the standard, "my@scary$doublequoted.address"@example.com is a valid address.

Wow, I never noticed that Github enforces password rules, as well (Must contain one lowercase letter, one number, and be at least 7 characters long.). My passwords are usually HMAC-based, so they'll most likely validate.

If your service tells me that myname+servicexyz@gmail.com is an invalid address, you have to live without me. I can't count how many mails I sent to websites incorrectly validating email fields. However, password validation is mostly even

5-0 for Google. I tried mostly programming related queries as I find the differences most noticeable there. Especially when searching for specific APIs or objects, Bing tends to give you just the project homepage and some unrelated pages,

Really great tool and dead-simple to set up. However, the last time I checked, there was no DNS and UDP support. Do you know if that changed?

I just noticed that it's no longer available after I wanted to post a link to it here. Does anyone know what happened to it?

> Not sure why you've been downvoted. Just stating "X is better" without giving any reason is not particularly helpful.

Absolutely. Package managers are mostly IO-bound so there is no reason why a Python-based PM should be substantially slower than a C implementation.

Luckily, SoundCloud's next release will be HTML5-audio-only. You can also enable experimental HTML5 playback support with the current version in your settings. Your point is correct, though. There are a lot of sites that break if they don't

I'm glad they didn't invent their own mechanism but used standard OTP tokens, so you can just add them to apps like Google Authenticator.

How do you think they could use this service? I can't think of a use case for them.

You are both confusing S3 and EC2. S3 is just storage.

That is really cool, both your grandfather using a Linux laptop and the boot time. Could you name a few components you used?

I think the important point is, that there ARE better alternatives out there. There's just no point in defending a mediocre and potentially harmful[0] learning platform. There's no need for hostility, just move on. [0] http://en.w3schools

I really can't emphasize that enough. Angular's test support is by far the best any MV* framework I've seen has, at the moment. With dependency injection being the foundation of the framework, AngularJS has a major benefit over most competi
