forklift... I've been an OSX devotee for a long time, and I feel your pain. I use forklift because it's relatively lightweight on the memory and it does what I need to do efficiently. I was thinking of going with PathFinder, but I decided

I totally agree with this sentiment...actually I've already decided to use Apache/Passenger for an app I'm releasing (hopefully soon for all to review). Today's announcement is really icing on the cake. My reasoning prior to today's announ

The point I was trying to make is that performance is the biggest issue with Ruby, and that is a hard issue to deny. MagLev was introduced with the promise of delivering this much needed performance. In relation to the comment to which I r

I wonder if Kellogg's success during the Depression had something to do with psychology. For example, when times are tough people might want to "stick" with a brand that appears more fit compared to others.

What I find so interesting about this article is that they way it is written it combines story telling with the actual facts as they are in Dubai. During my visits there, I've never gotten over the feeling that the luxurious facade that mo

I can see my parents each buying one of these. I can see my siblings buying one of these for each of their kids. I would never buy one of these because my tech needs, like yours, are a bit more "nuanced" depending upon my need at the momen

Thanks, I didn't know that! Back to the main point: any "killer" of a community has nothing to do with the underlying technology, but the people behind the community. The only way HN would be killed by TC is if PG were to be the motivating
