   I won't argue practicality or usability (a dual-monitor setup has distinct benefits, as does an increased physical area), but my computation says: (2,880 x 1,800 = 5,184,000) > (2 x 1,1920 x 1,200 = 4,608,000) Of course, you have to be

   Assuming that you restrict your rewriting to your own local repository (as is the widely-agree-upon best practice), what are some of these arguments?

   From the article: "One of these phones (the bottom-right one) became the Samsung F700 - a product Apple once included as an infringing product, but later withdrew once it learned Samsung created it and brought it to market before the iPhone

   Interesting. I guess this is what is referenced here: http://www.zdnet.com/samsung-sacrificed-qualcomm-truce-for-a... According to the article it was not a license agreement, but rather a contract not to sue. Apparently, Samsung claims th

   I forgot about this before, but it's also true that Samsung claims that Apple /didn't/ license Samsung's 3g patents at all, even under FRAND terms. That would be fair grounds to sue, though the rate they are demanding may be unreasonable. S

   So while Samsung must license patents for difficult-to-design wireless hardware at extremely low prices to prevent extortion, Apple is free to extort from Samsung, with design language patents, all of their profits, all while taking advanta

   In my opinion, they belong in a program-named directory in /opt. /usr/local should be for your own small scripts or manually-compiled software.

    What insanity is it that possesses website-makers to think that it's OK to have locked-on-screen ads on the mobile versions of their sites when this isn't even common practice for desktop sites? Mobile devices don't have very much screen ar

    Perhaps he doesn't forget, but wants to speak about what you should do today. Or, perhaps he doesn't know about Java 8 lambdas. Ultimately, your comment would come off a lot less offensively if you had said something like "Interesting artic

    Network bandwidth is also in this category. If they are trying to make a fixed amount of bandwidth available to each virtual instance, there is a maximum number of machines that can run behind a physical network adapter.

    I wonder if the reason that they don't offer less powerful, cheaper machines is that Google itself does not use such machines; You aren't "scaling like Google" if you are not using the same types of machines as they use in their actual arch

    In Vim, you can bind several windows to scroll together by doing :scrollbind in each. It's a bit more manual than what you do in Emacs, but you could use this and some :vsplit'ing to achieve a result similar to the follow mode described at

    Supporting your point is the fact that Yammer runs on the JVM.

    I apologize in advance that this will probably end up looking a bit like a rant. I'm sorry, but what is the deal with web-based tracking ? I see comments like > Whenever you visit a website with an ad, DoubleClick knows you looked at t

    The problem with those characters is that they require you to hold shift to type them on a standard keyboard. Also, they make you reach in a way that / doesn't (now I'm showing my pro-/ bias).

    I note that that story also comes from Reuters. However, it is clear that the definition they are using is an established one. You can tell because our response when the word "hacker" is used that way is "You shouldn't use the word 'hacke

    In my opinion, it can't come soon enough. If this service gets significant uptake, it should finally push Dropbox to lower their long-stagnant prices.

    My own experience supports this. A lot of my friends have Google+ accounts but barely use them. However, once a critical mass of this sort of users exists, they should quickly "flash" to active users, as people realize that the bulk of thei

    I imagine that this is not due to the n1 being "underpowered" per se, as the nexus s has roughly the same specs as the n1, but more internal storage. The problem is due to the fact that the n1 can't accommodate the ics image, which google i

    This type of functionality is already supported by on Windows, OS X, and, of course Linux-based systems through Chrome, Firefox, and even IE. I believe that the first way to get this type of functionality was to use Mozilla's Prism project,

    Actually, their prediction for Chrome in particular looks kind of polynomial. To be fair it does look a little polynomial on the left side of the prediction line, too, but as you point out, using this kind of extrapolation on percentages

    I'm fairly sure that the percentages in the second chart add up to about 110...
