When I need to concentrate, I reboot into another partition where I have neglected to enable wifi, and have a rather drab, but efficient-looking environment set up. Turns out FreeBSD and wmaker are great productivity tools.

I got upvoted because I'm right. Kernels don't need to support horribly designed programs just because they exist, just like they don't need to support horribly designed programs that don't exist yet. Kernels support an interface and that

There isn't one. It's an existing option in the kernel, you can configure cgroups that way already, but most people don't do this so the feature is wasted. All this patch does is roughly approximate a decent-looking cgroup configuration b

When you hit a problem like that, it's time to start going in the other direction. All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection.

Don't worry about it. You may hate vb.net, you hopefully won't care all that much. Either way, if your teacher wants to teach it, there's a reason (probably he's familiar with it and not with python, or he's on the MS payroll). It doesn'

Tired of this concept. I already use my browser to use twitter, facebook, etc. Why does it need to natively support twitter, facebook, etc? I thought the purpose of a browser was to execute web apps, and third-party app-specific clients

Laggy here too. Same FF build, on ubuntu. Fast in chromium. Sidenote, does anyone know of a good JS profiler? Edge detection is easy, especially on images with small numbers of colors in large swaths.

In theory, if I start feeling the need to break up a function body into logical blocks, it's time to refactor, so no, whitespace is not used except to keep functions apart from each other. In practice though, I probably dump everything in

Ok, but there's a big difference between "severe hangover and punitive exercise" and "ow I've got a headache, I'll still do at least a mile this morning".

My eris works great with its default settings... until I run a music player while trying to type. It would be great if they could dynamically scale the accuracy or something to keep response time up.
