At least for me (Galaxy Nexus), that is how it works. I've set Chrome to "always" and now any links I click on in whatever app open in Chrome. Maybe is something specific about how the bookmark app I'd launching its intents, though, becau

What do you mean "exploited"? It certainly can be exploited to cause a denial of service (like the one at this page: http://gironda.org/this_will_crash_safari.html ).

I once worked for an enterprise-y software development company. They had an enterprise-y source code control solution. I can't remember the name off the top of my head, but just checking out the latest code took literally an hour. It was

It seems to me it's not because the Node.js test used a remote machine to drive the connections whereas this one is driving the connections from the same machine. Running the server and test harness on the same machine bypasses a whole lot

Yeah, a lot of what was in TouchWiz is now in stock Android. This is probably kind of subjective, but my problem with TouchWiz is it's butt-ugly. I mean, if you think stock Android was a mess (and it's not so bad now with Holo) then TouchWi

Yes, my app was having longer response times (sometimes quite a bit longer) but it wasn't "down". A couple of people noticed the delays but as far as I can see no major effects.

There's also a difference when you're developing your own site compared to when you're developing a framework or library. If your library is used on more than half of the top 100,000 websites (as jQuery is) then a 45KB saving or a 100ms spe

How many followers do you have? I find the number of followers you have directly corresponds to how successful using twitter is for support. It's only if you have 100+ followers, that companies are more likely to go out of the way to help,

Why not? It's obviously not the same codebase as the desktop version of the site, why would you expect because the desktop version of the site supports IE10 that the mobile version of the site would as well?

I think the relative merits of Microsoft Office vs. other solutions is something that's been hashed out many, many times. But I do find interesting the request on Microsoft's part for a face-to-face meeting. They don't specifically say a

I've never seen an office application that so badly mangles a Word document that you can't even read it. 100% fidelity is not going to happen, but unless you're designing brochures or things for print, you don't need 100% fidelity.

Are you saying if you specify <img width="xx" height="xx"> that the browser doesn't reserve exactly the right amount of space for that image? Because that's exactly what it's supposed to do: if it's not, then it's a browser bug.
