Well, at least SOMEONE likes Klout. (I do like getting free stuff though)

Pause Spotify, watch a streaming video. Spotify continues to serve P2P connections even if it's not actively playing music.

I'm honestly shocked that Steve let them get away with an asymmetrical home screen.

The MAC address is certainly easier to spoof, as you are only essentially dealing with 3 bytes of uniqueness (assuming iOS devices all have known manufacturer IDs). By comparison, the UDID is 20 bytes long.

Spotify seems to have fixed the problem where the desktop app sucks up ALL of your outgoing bandwidth (although it is still bad enough to lag YouTube and other streaming video), so I started using it again. However, would it kill any of the

Hmm that is pretty cool, looks like it's a smart front-end for git rebase?

Keeping the lighting appropriate for your screen(s) is the most important thing, along with positioning your screen(s) at about arm's length. I try to use bright pure white lightbulbs whenever possible. After that, using a larger font is go

Kind of makes you wonder why "Microsoft Research" isn't just "Microsoft".

H.G. Wells, Original Wargamer :) This reminds me of a similar game called Lego Wars that my friends and I used to play in middle school (I downloaded the rules off of GEnie): http://mama.indstate.edu/users/sean/legowars/wars.htm

Yep, it's just slightly hidden on the "create repo" page now.

As someone who used to post a lot on forums, I agree that being able to have multiple pseudonyms is great. On the other hand, I also appreciate the value of enforcing real names in online discussions. If you've ever read the comments on new

I actually use Assembla's free git repos for client projects and throwaway projects.

This isn't a replacement for GitHub, it's a replacement for the $5000/year self-hosted GitHub.

Digressing a little bit, but if you use an SSB for Gmail, have you checked out Sparrow?

I use Puppet, but primarily because of Moonshine, a Rails plugin that ties Puppet together with Capistrano and Rake, and has a nice plugin system.

You can get a patent on an invention that improves on an existing patent. Looks like that's what they're doing.

Ok I don't feel so bad now. I was stationed on a nuclear carrier and one day I accidentally deleted the entire supply/logistics/personnel/maintenance database cluster. I mean come on, the menu option was labeled "Re-index databases". I thou

Subtle, striking, and minimalistic. Just like Steve's design ethic.

I don't know, it's not that hard. Write acceptance tests (with Cucumber or something), use a good unit test helper like Shoulda for your standard unit tests, and write unit tests for any complicated methods. The acceptance tests will cover

Same here. One thing I've noticed is living on a road or in an apartment you don't really talk to your neighbors all that much. On a cul-de-sac you do get to know them.

This isn't really surprising. Remember when Steve Jobs said that nobody would ever want to watch a video on a small screen, right before coming out with the iPod Video? Companies are allowed to position themselves against the competition an

It's probably just because it's firing off a ton of ajax requests and just displaying the results as they come back, regardless of the request order.

I'll be honest, I'm pretty disappointed that Day[9] isn't on there.

I don't really have a problem with Python per se, but the one thing that bugs me is that the significance of indentation encourages the use of 4 or 8 space indents. I guess on one hand it's good because it would probably discourage heavy ne

I seem to remember hearing about there being an indicator of whether or not you should be given an "enhanced screening" as well. I assume it is set if you are on a watch list, or randomly otherwise.
