I've seen it in Javadoc doc comments as well.

I'm a fan of Monte Carlo ( http://www.bok.net/MonteCarlo/ ). ProFont is also really nice, but doesn't have a proper bold version.

NCSU has a currently-operating PULSTAR reactor on campus. I walk by the building multiple times per day when classes are in session. http://www.ne.ncsu.edu/nrp/index.html One of these days, I need to see if I can get inside and take a loo

Kids are often smarter than you give them credit for, especially if they are engaged in the subject matter. Kids which are obsessing over something have remarkable retentive abilities.

I've also seen it called a "ninjaban".

In a fit of distractedness, I actually read this comment before I reached the end of the article. I stopped reading. I'm familiar with the story of _why, so I don't really feel the need to hear it again. But most of all, I don't want to kno

They have that: Google Desktop. If I recall correctly, it even lets you do it from your other machines. Admittedly, it's been a while since I've used it, so I might be wrong there. (Methinks that it would be vastly improved if they got simp

I find this very sad. I do nearly all of my reading with dead tree books (I simply don't find e-readers nearly as satisfying), and if I want a book the first place I check is the used bookstore up the road. I tend to accumulate books faster

It means that you have to make sure to deallocate any memory you allocate when you are done with it. Basically, the same as C and C++, as opposed to garbage-collected languages like Python or Java, which will automatically detect when you a

Nitpick - the Webkit layout engine wasn't born at Apple. It's derived from KHTML, which is part of the Konqueror and KDE projects.

I've heard similar descriptions of LISP, actually.

As far as I can tell, they're not telling anyone to deface sites - they are saying that you should black out your sites, and encourage others to do the same. Wikipedia was/is considering doing something similar.

You're right, it does. Didn't notice that. That is rather silly.

Why wouldn't it? When it's going around the earth, it's going to be going in the opposite direction from the earth's orbit part of the time. The question is which motion is bigger.

For the record, as a Fedora 16 KDE user, I don't have any problems running the desktop effects. Also, my screensaver functions just fine thank you. Printing is a bit iffy though.

The text column is narrow because it's easier for humans to read text in narrow columns. Also, negative space isn't necessarily bad -- it can be used to draw attention to important items. Now that I think about it, if the black bar was ligh

Except for the fact that he didn't know to do that because the documentation was incorrect. Not even merely omitting it -- no, directly contradicting the behaviour. To find out to do as you say, he had to read the Ubuntu-specific patches to

Plus one for Nearlyfreespeech. Their shared hosting is pretty nice as well, except for the fact that they don't have mod_wsgi.

For one of my current projects, I found myself in a similar position. I actually ended up picking Go instead of C++, since it's a language I've been wanting to learn for a while, and the feature set intrigues me. I have yet to see how this

Generally, I'm recommending Fedora KDE (what I use) to somewhat tech-savvy people who are seriously looking into Linux and asking me for recommendations. If I'm just trying to get someone off of Windows, I recommend Mint. It's the first Lin

I used to recommend Ubuntu or Mint. These days, it's switched to Mint or Fedora. Ubuntu's ability to "just work" has been unsatisfactory for a while, while Mint's and Fedora's has only been getting better. I recently did a Fedora upgrade, a

IIRC, Visual Studio does it too in some cases. You can't scroll past the end of the code, but if you jump to a point in the code, it will always put it at the top of the screen, and provide an overscroll area if necessary.
