Actually, my old Intel iMac at home can't even run Lion! The main reason I always wait to upgrade is for kinks to be worked out in OS X ports of mainly-GNU/Linux software.

Bummer, Mac OS 10.7.x required. (Edit: I've been reluctant to upgrade from Snow Leopard, but maybe I should reevaluate.)

So the website is more of a directory of generated conspiracy theories, rather than a conspiracy theory 'generator'. Go to a specific article and note that the article is always the same.

Hmm, C-y does yank something, but the last killed line. I'm on Snow Leopard, though. :/ Someone also suggested C-z for undo, but no luck either.

(OT: wow I just learned the hard way that in Chrome C-k kills the rest of input at point and cannot be undone. Also, C-a goes to the beginning of the input, rather than beginning of the line, so my C-a C-k habit made me lose my typed-up co

I can attest to this. It's exactly why I don't use it on my work laptop but can't live without f.lux at home. Granted, I use and like warm lighting at home. I wonder what would be the effect in a house/room that uses daylight lighting.

I also found it odd at first that "remote" wasn't one of checkboxes in Step 2, but figured it was something I would type in a subsequent free-text box.

Not to turn this into an entire drama[1] or to single Andrew out, but if he is so awesome, why the arrogant "I don't feel need to defend this" response? [1] Not that sexism/racism/*-ism should be taken lightly.

Is this a fact? That does seem to be my impression after trying a 'ls -l /dev/exynos-mem' on my own Galaxy S running CM7, but I'm otherwise unable to conclude if there is still a vulnerability.

That's great. Focusing on specific MSFT technologies or frameworks is a waste of time. For one, they're not very good. And two, you never know how soon it'll be deprecated. On the other hand, C# the language is not terrible.

Congrats! Looks interesting, and at a pretty decent price. I've been meaning to update my C# knowledge (as a non-.NET developer) and your book has piqued my interest even more. What exactly is 'PacktLib access to the book' included in the p
