Every once and a while I try to set it up, but I also don't really care that much. I've gotten it to work great for C++ but haven't really bothered with anything else.

Sorry, I live in the middle of no where and don't really know anything about commuter trains.

I realize it's a flawed analogy, but the thing about learning emacs is that it isn't learning a single tool. It's learning the toolbox you can use to build the wood shop. The toolbox that keeps getting bigger and bigger. It's been years sin

Hrm. I guess I'm just strange then. I always read footnotes as soon as I run into them.

I wonder if this will really help with the issue of comprehension that Nick Carr was talking about. The links are still there and still visible so I'm not sure that I won't just use them in the same way. That said, it is nicer looking now t

I've always found Dell to have decent hardware at a reasonable price. They also have an N series which comes with FreeDOS so you don't have to pay the extra MS tax.

I found number 1 to be slightly inaccurate. I think it would be better as "What moron wrote this garbage?! That's it! I'm gonna go find out who wrote this and give th... Oh. That was me. Crap."

> If they were doing it right, they wouldn't need the extra hours. is the part I don't agree with. Sorry, didn't make that clear. Doing It Right (tm) has little, in my experience, with the volume of work that exists.

I don't know that I agree. StackOverflow become popular by being the Anti-ExpertsExchange. The elevator pitch was literally "Experts Exchange with out the evil" and they seem to be doing quite well.

I've been seriously considering moving my domain from GoDaddy. For me though price isn't really an issue. In fact, because I have a .me domain it will end up being about 20 bucks a year no mater where I go.

Well sure, but I think condescension has more to do with your attitude and tone of voice than what you say.

Hrm... "Most hackers are willing to explain terms. Be ready for condescension; it's not intended as an insult, but if you don't know the words, she probably has to talk down to you at first to explain them." If you are being condescending,

I've noticed people often get bogged down on the issue of "beautiful" code in focusing on the syntax of the language. But that's only a tiny fraction of what makes code beautiful. The true beauty is in the underlying algorithm or idea that

I just started using one of these. Today is day 4. (The weekend was in the way, so it's consecutive day 2) So far the only real change is my back is hurting in a different place than with the cheap chair I had. (upper back instead of lower)

Wal-mart is bad for my blood pressure. 15 checkout stands, only one of which is ever open, with a mile and a half long line, employees that are no where to be found, and when you can find one he/she doesn't know anything. I can't go in ther

I was reminded of why I don't go into Radio Shack when I had to go get a watch battery there the other day. They keep trying to foist a cell phone off on me. If I had wanted a cell phone I would have said "Hi, I would like to buy a cell pho

I don't agree. It's my experience that no mater how smart I work (or how long) there is always more work to be done. Lots more. Granted, I'm an in-house developer so YMMV if you work for a software company.

Out of curiosity, do you have a citation for that? I'd be interested in reading about it.
