   Hmm.. web apps are usually half app, half information system, which really supports help systems and stuff like that. I like the way they support me, as connected information and easily provided context is ubiquitous, while desktop apps alw

   I find it kind of strange to restrain the rather unlimited possibilities of web pages and web apps to the small subset of interaction patterns that the OS GUI field allows - i have been way more impressed by all the slick, simple interfaces

   How did they prove in court that it was planted there by him ? After he gave his laptop away, everything could have happened to it. Maybe just a cheap trick to punish him for something they couldnt 'prove'.

   It's ok that it takes some time for the idea of the necessity of Monads to spread. I bet it took at least the same time for the Haskell guys to understand the necessity of IO. ;-P

    Is that a joke ? So what do you do if the 64GB are full ? Throw away the computer ?

    Besides the caching question, having permalinks to share that random view would be awesome.

    I love it, but why does it take so much time for 'searching' ? Is it generating random coordinates and then tries to match them with street view coverage ?

    If I remember that correctly, the 'one page' style of python documentation came only in rather recently (last couple of years, >2.3), and the previous style was split one many pages: http://docs.python.org/release/2.3.5/lib/module-stri

    Can anyone comment on how the translations carry that quality? I could read english and german and this sounds really interesting.

    The git that everyone would use is to the actual git what the app store is to apt-get. ;-)

    Speed reading is a good test if the text is completely redundant and worthless. Anyone reading math books faster than 5 pages / hour ?
