This has been my experience too. Also the search bar is fantastic in Firefox.

Thanks! It's not a phrase I'd previously encountered, and I love this sort of word wrangling.

This is certainly the case for businesses with proprietary data, for an open-source community like we're discussing it's just another (admittedly rather useless) online backup service :)

I don't think it's unfair, IIRC they were quite explicit about the fact that they were using crowdfunding as a way to measure the market. They would quite definitely have had to "put their own skin in the game" (I want

the fact that the NSA routinely monitors certain channels does not turn them into an omniscient boogieman that can read everybody's minds. in fact, being aware of the channels that they monitor puts you in an excellent position in thi

I don't think they have anything to fix. The teenagers in the article seemed to believe that your social status is crippled without Facebook. It might be a Machiavellian way to get eyeballs on advertisements, but by criminy it's working,

Also, as swombat observed: the criteria for maximising shareholder returns long-term might be (and almost certainly is) very different to the short-term milking of the company for profit. Intuitively, a law requiring that company decisions

It's a nifty form factor and a reasonable graphics card, I would consider getting one as a portable VR station for use with the Oculus Rift (whenever, uh, you know, Oculus release the linux SDK).

> garbage collection pauses AFAIK, mark-and-sweep GC was removed from the JVM years ago (except on Android, where Dalvik used it until 2.something). I can't help with the rest of your post though.

for the latter, i'm saying i'd rather navigate with a scroll wheel and hyperlinked names a lot more than i want to search multiple buffers. hands away from the keyboard, reading mode rather than typing mode, getting context

My problem is that this power doesn't motivate me. Do I want to make lots of changes rapidly? No. Further: THAT WOULD BE BAD. I want to make concise changes based on sober reflection. Do I want a convenient browsing mechanism that stay

The legal trouble with public domain is the question "how did it get here?" In the case of expiry, that's simple: you can no longer assert control over the work- it's too old. In the case of a deliberate admission of release of copyright,

I've started to view the random gun arguments as a sort of social software crash. I'm personally pretty indifferent to most of the arguments for and against, but it seems impossible to mention guns online without having a mud-slinging matc

i would wear a t-shirt that said that :)

by liljimmytables 14y ago
i'm pretty sure that choosing to wear a t-shirt that suits your own personality is totally okay, and indeed kind of the point

by liljimmytables 14y ago
That's as may be, by making their event t-shirt, they're saying "our demographic is people who would wear this." If you're not in that demographic you feel isolated.

I'm just throwing out my own intuition here, but I think that firstly, there's an implication that you have a penis. You don't? Odd one out. Secondly, if a woman were to say that verbally to a man, there would be a flirtatious connotation

Nah, right now anti-tech is an attitude. As soon as someone works out how to sell things to it as a market, _then_ it will become a counterculture.

The one thing I really like about the default android browser is the fact that it has private tabs. I'm uncomfortable with leaving some things on a portable device that facilitates being left around, picked up by strangers, et al. I can't

I picked up on it from this site: http://750words.com/ It's rather cathartic, although you're right that letting your mind wander within a recorded stream sometimes means you write down some quite scary stuff, it's probably the same part

Very clean, and I like the content. What platform did you build it on?

I agree with what you're saying. Still, my point remains that virtualisation is a poor cousin of native OS.
