It's not the split that's annoying, it's the delay when the page refreshes. If only advertisers and media companies could agree to pre-load articles like in a slide-show, show new pages with javascript, and that each 'next-page' click count

I see a lot of key bindings for buffers, but few for tabs. Am I the only one who uses tabs in vim? They're great.

Did LightSquared not know about GPS noise before bidding on the spectrum they received? Maybe LightSquared got their spectrum for cheap because there was so much noise and nobody else could find a use for it.

I am really happy to not work for RIM. They were a premier tech company 5 years ago but now they are visibly circling the toilet. It must be a very unpleasant place to work.

Exactly. The number one thing javascript should take from coffeescript is the iteration syntax.

Is it really too much to ask to have some syntactic sugar. Is for i,v in blah , where i is an index of an array, or a key (not a property!) of a dictionary really too much to ask in 2012? No wonder people are using coffeescript.

There's good game design around luck (randomness) and bad game design around luck. Monopoly has a lot of randomness, and it is hard to design a strategy to mitigate bad luck, which is probably why it isn't worth playing more than a few time

Right, because the price of gold in US$ has tripled in the last five years not because of speculation but because the dollar is one third as valuable as before. That's why the average US wage and minimum wage has also tripled over the same

I have a hard time seeing the advantages of backbone.js over something simpler like knockout.js. Is it that good? Is it a question of having a complicated enough webapp?
