There's a huge difference between what you may fall in love with and what pays the bills, but to categorize what she fell in love with as a waste is... well, a waste. I don't know how hard it would be to pursue literature and te

Forum is one area Github is in a great position to enter right now. Wrangling bug tracker to act as a forum is a bit of a hack so a proper place for developers to interact and discuss projects would be most welcome.

In many cases, this is why the trailer is still somewhat better if you're thinking totally mobile living area. Since it has no engines to speak of, the only worry about leaks is if you connect 1 or 2 LPG tanks. Need to keep an eye on t

Been there done that. They also asked my religion. I said I'm Buddhist (sort of true, though I'm not a very good one) and after a brief chat, I was sent off with my beans. No pat down, no detention. FYI, If you want to avoid this,

That's an odd. Have you eliminated all other variables E.G. Common utility/setting, cabling, switch/router etc..? I've had paths open for much longer than that without access issues.

BlackBerry needs to seriously weed out the rubbish. Besides the fact that browsing App World is a nasty experience on my 9930 (sorting is the most awkward I've ever seen), finding something I'm actually looking for is nearly impos

Fair enough, I was being snarky. But throw yourself back to your younger days. You've said worse, but how much of it did you really mean? Now back to today, how much of what you say do you mean? Read and listen to his words on how he f

They also say a lot of things they truly mean before they develop a "shut up filter" later on in life.

It's a bit unfair to call it a skin on top of Bing etc... DDG isn't another HotBot. There's quite a bit more happening in the background : https://dukgo.com

Is that really necessary? People didn't stop using RedHat via CentOS because upstream is a commercial product. Mainline Nginx is still available while this seems to be a value-added product with a bunch of extras.

There's a datasheet http://nginx.com/media/cms_page_media/21/nginx_plus_datashee... But that's got more sales-speak sprinkled in with the technical details.

It's a bit of an acquired taste in the UI department, but I got used to it in about a couple of days. As for results, it may be that I'm searching for common/obvious things, but most of what I'm looking for are in at lea

Ah yes, if I'm searching for something non-obvious, it does get a bit tedious. It's not like Google where I still find it after the 3 or 4th page; the results just get further and further from what I expect. DDG's biggest pro

I've been experimenting with DuckDuckGo and I must say, I'm finding what I'm looking for pretty quickly (minus junk results) in the first few results. Their WolframAlpha results are actually pretty good too. I hope they can m

It's sort of true. Part of the reason being that kids there have had the same stunting of growth that kids in the West have as well since the start of social media. More often people equate "Internet", "Web" and &qu

An article shouldn’t be split across multiple pages on the web! We have an infinitely long canvas to write on, along with an elegant way of moving through it. Why would you need to split it up?" Well, there are some times

Crosswords indirectly affect my performance. I don't think they make me clever either, but they do calm me down and help me settle into whatever area I'm in. That helps me take the edge off of what I'm about to say/prese

This title is confusing : "UK defends Miranda airport detention". The article itself says "David Miranda in legal challenge over seized data". Also it seems to be a small blurb of an unofficial comment since there doesn&

Apparently the reason for this is the "Software shall be used for good" clause in the license, but I believe IBM obtained a special exemption that it may be used for evil as well. Surely, the PHP folks can acquire a similar variat
