I'm in a similar boat: Never actually submitted a pull request. I've recently had to modify a gem that I use to convert Youtube URL's into the finished iframe product to support many of Youtube's parameters like rel, modestbranding and show

Too bad not every Google Apps for Business setup works with Chrome Sync (or most Google software). My company uses Google Apps for Business, but that basically means web services, because no actual software works. GChat, Chrome, etc all fai

I think the point is that Cloud66 allows you to deploy to 1 server and scale from a web gui, which is essentially what a "dyno" abstractly is. I don't like the terminology used, either, and seeing as it isn't on the actual article, I'm expe

The second that App.net was announced and I saw the prices, I was out. You don't pay money to develop for a service that only developers are using. The price was extremely high in comparison to what it offered: Sure, Apple charges to develo

These are really cool tools that I didn't realize existed! I think I may take advantage of one of them! However as the other reply said, it seems silly to buy a big powerful incredible machine just to do all of your actual work on a virtual

So I have to buy another machine to develop and test my stuff on? What's the point of a powerful laptop if it's just a dumb terminal to connect to my actual development machine? Why not just buy a $300 super cheap laptop and do the exact sa

How do you develop on this? I'm used to using Linux, command line, text editors, local installs of the product I'm developing for, virtual machines, etc... Are you simply forced into using ALL websites to actually develop and unable to use

Using these definitions that include the entirety of the process, no energy is clean energy except for Sunlight + 6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H1206 +6O2. Even solar power will have something "dirty" along the chain somewhere. The closest we can ge

It IS innovation. 1024 levels of pressure on a 5.5" 720p screen that lasts 18 hours. That's fantastic and I've not seen that in any device. Stop calling things "not innovation" just because it doesn't impress you. No one put out a stylus li

The author of that retort redefines "sour grapes". Every quote on that blog is dripping with Apple-is-god and Android-is-horrific. In short, it's the kind of tripe he claim's the CNN article is, and it's absolutely unsubstantiated fanboy dr

You have in one single post perfectly captured why Linux is both amazing and terrible. (Amazing, because look what you've done! Terrible, because almost every other human on this planet could not accomplish your outcome even with guides and

LibreOffice is useful in exclusion, or when no other software programs have to be used with it. When everyone who will consume your work will consume it with the same software. Otherwise, pony up for Word so you can be on the standard as mo

False. It's possible to misread anything at any time in any condition. It is impossible to prevent all misreading, human error will always occur.

Sorry, yeah I've been using W7 since beta and now W8. I don't know what kind of crashes happen on Linux with office software.

by criley 14y ago
In my experience, I only ever get crashes with LibreOffice. I can't honestly remember a MS Office crash for me since the 2003 version. Are people honestly getting regular office suite crashes?

No, reading personal email to deliver advertisements is creepy. It's better than it used to be but we all remember seeing things like casket advertisements when an email mentioned dead code, etc etc. It's creepy, and I would gladly pay goog

Apologies, the normal trope on the internet is to be stupidly ignorant about American football as an excuse to insult it. "Lol handegg rules are so strange! Who would have thought Americans would like watching people stand about for hours!"

by criley 14y ago
Maybe that's because boxing doesn't stop a lot and is meant to be played in a short period of time while American football is more a military game of attrition with tons of breaks between skirmishes. Or are you just being willfully ignorant

Wow, you could not have misread Mojang any worse. You must be intentionally obtuse here -- I refuse to believe that you're this ignorant. You feel like some washed up older guy pissed off that his idea didn't make it, content to sit and poo

I keep seeing this talk about "six figures" in the valley as code for "overpaid". I don't live in San Francisco but everything I can tell about the cost of living shows me that a $100,000 salary in SF is roughly equivalent to what, $45,000
