Yeah, I really regret going there now... Which is really, really sad. It's come to this, where we have to be afraid of drivebys on websites just because they may be honeypots for the US government, or because they might get all of us o

I predict MacWorld will soon follow up. Sad... I always loved reading PCWorld at the grocery store as a break from the monotony of shopping for food. Print is dead. The LCD hath killed it. Long live the LCD, and long live e-Ink displays.

Because SL had a far better workflow. 10.8 may have a cleaner, flatter, better-looking UI and some nice kernel features underneath, but Mission Control is a disaster compared to Spaces + Exposé. I still dual-boot 10.6 and 10.8. I find mysel

I beg to differ. http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-X201E-DH01-11-6-Inch-Laptop-Black... With Haswell, the Asus could really hit it big. Ubuntu, I strongly think, has its future as the sort of super-Chromebook. More advanced, but s

Don't have one yet, but are there any window managers with high-resolution support out yet? I may just get a Pixel if there are. I know Unity hasn't, and Gnome 3 (my favorite) has pixel-doubling support on the way, but if there ar

It's still pathetic. The balance is still nearly 50/50; something promising would be along the lines of 70/30 or even 65/35.

It's important to note that this means that your code is instantaneously updated to the cloud with remote box SSH directly from your OS X machine, not that you can somehow virtualize your favorite text editor and use it to edit code fr

For all its hate and overuse, Neue Haas is used for one reason and one reason only: simplicity. When you read a block of Garamond in a classic book from the early 19th century, you feel the serifs. They guide you from word to word, but th

Not really... pretty much every aspect of OS X is removable, it just isn't as straightforward as Ubuntu and may break portions of the system. You can remove Spotlight and Notification Center with ease, and I doubt it would be difficult

But eclim lets you get Eclipse features in vim, not vice versa... is there something I'm missing here?

I actually like the window switcher, but it would have been far, far better if Canonical had made it so that alt-scrolling on the appicons would have had that effect. Scrolling the launcher should have been standard.

Does anyone even use Vim without plugins anymore? I tend to vacillate between vim and nvi. My vim setup is usual vim, with Powerline, NERDTree, CtrlP, TagBar, and omnicomplete, but whenever I use vanilla nvi to edit a config file, it's

The amount of radiation in those tracers was no more than 0.15µSv. That's five times less than what you get by eating six bananas a day. And I highly doubt that there was no consent beforehand. Perhaps there was excessive legalese or

Radioactive tracers , not radioactive material. The media loves to hype this up. Essentially, what you get injected in you whenever you go for a CT scan, except this was a far, far lower dose. Stupid sensationalism.

It's relieving that Iceland is the only country with any balls left for civil liberty, and all those that complained about the NSA spying but then refused Snowden asylum should be ashamed of their actions. It's an international

This is a problem that isn't unique to a few outlier developers. This happens frequently. A word processor that I love to death, Bean, has several identical ripoff apps based on its code on the Mac App Store by a "developer&quot

Great idea, but I once tried something similar with a Raspberry Pi and a 15" cheap TN LCD panel to hang in my apartment for the amount of "likes" one of my Facebook pages received. This is far more elegant, although far more

That's odd, considering Firefox clones the antialiasing algorithm used by the host OS and uses that to render type. Are you sure that perhaps the OS font rendering settings are to blame, and not necessarily Firefox?

I don't know the efficacy of this as an educational tool, but as a Python programmer, it's a really handy "cheat sheet" to have around whenever doing general scripting. It's really well written as well. Kudos to who
