   Internalization is a big plus for colemak. I used to use a US keyboard as a french speaker which caused me lots of problems. With colemak, I can easily type all language specific characters: ¿øéàößåñ This could easily been added to dvorak i

   Right bellow is a download button. My immediate thought was that OSX platforms obtained the app from the appstore while other platforms could use the download link. When I see an appstore link I don't immediatly assume OS X only.

   I had to change: #!/usr/bin/env python to: #!/usr/bin/env python2 in the python scripts to get it working under archlinux. If this works on the other platforms, that might be a good change.

   This is really cool. It seems that instead of using mipmaps to generate a map, they are using a combination of curves and 2D shapes. This is very smart since the data is not only more compact but can also be visualised in a very fluid manne

   The Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro comes to mind. Same price, high res screen, thinner than a MBA, better keyboard, does the whole yoga thing.

   I have a similar setup than you do and bought the schiit modi and magni (~200$ dac and amp). I'm very happy with the purchase and recommand it as a first dac/amp. http://schiit.com/

   When comparing the intel and arm architectures, GHz doesn't mean much. Transistor technology has evolved to a point where most processors are clocked in that area. The reason that the intel processor is so much faster is that with a hi

   I think it is since I get a higher frame rate for Team Fortress 2 under Linux than under windows. I use the nvidia blob.

    As soon as I saw that the sexy gTLD was out I tried to get is.sexy. That would have been awesome but there's a minimum 3 character restriction.

    The interesting thing is that the 'temporary' monopoly isn't really temporary as it keeps being extended before most copyrights expire. In theory it is temporary but in practice it's not (at least so far). To see this in

    I'm a consultant in Quebec and I've seen too many companies document code in French. Sometimes variable and function names are in a mix of French and English. The worse is when your errors and exceptions are in French: you get ver

    I'm a fan of archlinux running the cinnamon desktop environment. Archlinux might be a bit intense depending on your command line fu; you might want to try Linux Mint instead. Hardware wise, Lenovo also makes decent hardware. The Yoga 2

    The error messages are driving me nuts as well. Otherwise, Julia is a very impressive language that can do more than replace Matlab. The only other irk I have is that an ASCIIString doesn't have UTF8String as a parent type (ASCIIString

    There's another variable to throw into the mix: all gates are not created equal. A 28nm (this new processor) takes a lot more power than a 22nm (new intel processors) gate.

    The interesting thing is that sometimes, interpreted bytecode is faster than native instructions. First of all, bytecode isn't usually interpreted but rather Just In Time (JIT) compiled. This means that it's a little bit slower th

    I have also been doing more gaming in Linux recently. I only have a windows partition for Starcraft 2 and League of Legends. If blizzard ever gets on board the linux bandwagon, I won't need a windows partition :-D.

    You should also keep in mind that some products artificially increase the price as a marketing tactic. The increased price leads consumers to (falsely) believe it is of higher quality because they expect price to reflect quality.

    A signal like that would be very easy to jam for a government if they chose to do so. Encryption (if you can connect to an outside host) or a channel that is harder to jam (satelite, wires, laser beams, etc.) are the only real options.

    This would work much better. The main reason is latency. The added image will always lag behind the real world by some milliseconds (16ms minimum refresh latency for 60hz). There is also the image capture and processing latency which is con

    As an emacs user I voted for both and I'm pretty sure most emacs users did the same. This doesn't really dilute it but gives the impression that emacs is more popular (that and we yell louder).
