This is why I really like Udacity's classes. Even though I have used Python in the past, starting from scratch and building a small search engine is awesome, and bits and pieces picked up along the way are really helping my comprehension of

Didn't I download an install this exact OS a year or two ago? I don't believe they've changed the website, or the OS, in any significant way since then... Not exactly sure why this was posted or how it made front page :| Oh, and I didn't ke

This is precisely the reason why Linux hasn't stuck on me, even though I've tried multiple times to use it. Every time, on different systems, there was something off. Sometimes the sound card that wasn't properly supported, other times the

It's worth noting that iPhone does not equal Mobile. What about Android? Even if Chrome is the only Android browser supported, that would be plenty!

It has nothing to do with suing or even being afraid to receive spam - Gmail takes pretty good care of that. It's actually the other point, I receive enough random emails from places I can't even remember checking out years ago, this isn't

Still doesn't actually say what your service is supposed to be. "Interesting" is not directly proportional to "Useful", especially not for anyone in particular. I'm not saying your service won't be either, I'm just saying that without more

Ah yes, yet another service that wants my email address without ever telling me what for, no privacy policy, no promise not to spam, nothing but vague but unhelpful description of a service. Pass, thank you very much.

Can someone get on crunching numbers so I can get a pie chart on how many users disabled the right-click, how many people never right-clicked (hey, maybe a tutorial-like tooltip bubble that says "Right-click me!" ?), trends in right-click u

The odd thing is, I know what github is, I use it, I've done my little share of git... But I have absolutely no idea what "CS" means. Can someone shed a light on that? (Talk about illiterate, huh?)

It really depends on the market. I'm just comparing to Captivate and similar screen simulation software, really. If they can make a buck selling a $500 piece of software, you can do it on a smaller monthly fee as a SaaS for sure. I'm happy

There's something a little wonky about your Java detection. On my laptop, I have Java 6 Update 5 installed, but your page it telling me "we have a problem! Iorad needs you to get java" (Windows XP SP3, Firefox 7.0.1). On the other hand, in

If only the company is put in danger and they stubbornly refuse to resolve the issue, I'm not exactly sure why anyone would work so hard to convince a company to do this. The job of reporting the issue is done, a corporate decision has been

That was my thought exactly. Google's April Fools don't often have any link to reality (I still remember the moonplex, that was cool), so in this case because the self-driving car is already successful, it sounds stupid to have such a tiny

This doesn't even scratch the surface of what Google could show you. If they showed us the extent of what they can actually infer from our activity, some people would probably shoot their computer, burn their router and modem, and never l

It depends on your level of expertise and the type of tool. For instance, Sphinx to write documentation is free, but you need to have at least a desire to write in markup to create it, and I'm assuming that single-sourcing multiple user man

It is the page I was linked to. But responsive.is displays a random website, and this website in particular didn't work. I guess if I had realized it was just a random website perhaps my reaction would have been different. Edit: For some

This is absolutely horrendous in Firefox 7. About 60% of the bottom of the screen is completely black, leaving only about 300px high of contents, in any of the views. This isn't IE6, it's FF7, which is 5 months old! Screenie: https://picas

I don't think I would ever keep a browser open just to be able to do what the basic text editor on every OS in existence can do. Notepad, GEdit, whatever... I don't get the point of this, at all.
