Please tell me the fonts have been fixed. We've waited years for the 1998 Linux font tendering to have caught up with, at least, Win 2000. There was dozens of X Font Server patches that never worked. Then illegal downloads of MS TeueTy

We have the same problem. Until you hear a Massachusetts native tell you they're from Wahstur(??) - Worcester, you wouldn't have realized that US English still has a lot of varying accents, even after we've been thoroughly ho

This is where skill and experience come in. Should huge wizards and complex forms be constantly sent back to the server and rendered as each bit is filled in? Of course not. But if you have a basic CRUD app with a big dashboard, create rout

Five years ago I would have bookmarked this post. I must be getting old and / or wealthier because now I just use a (2015) Mac. In a few more years, I have a feeling I'll be using neither Apple nor Microsoft. I do think the marke

I'd be interested to see what the rate is if they only counted first marriages. Anecdotally, it seems many of my Boomer-aged relatives who got divorced ended up getting married again (and possibly divorced again). The idea that you mus
