As a Christian, let me just say I have met very ardent atheists... Atheists can preach just as much as any other religion. Perhaps you are confusing the belief in NO god with simple indifference towards religion?

Depending on the regex function you use, you may or may not need the anchoring. FWIW.

That being said, RDPs have quite a bit of boilerplate that may obscure your grammar. (And small bugs in a RDP are sometimes very hard to catch...)

I'm curious what TechCrunch's article provides beyond what came out in the standard press release on the Google Blog. ( http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/google-audio-indexing... )

One of the things I realized when working for a social startup is that many of those web 2.0, happy user generated content things make it super easy to listen to feedback. (As in, trolling your OWN site and using it to keep people in the lo

Which is why the correct response is to not support such behavior instead of using the shiny toys and whining online... I'm curious if, in the spate of recent "OH NO APPLE HAS LOCKIN" articles, if anyone actually decided to stop using their

Out of curiosity, what are the annoyances you have with it?

As a counterpoint, I love ido, and it makes using the commandline so frustrating. 99% of the time it somehow seems to have read my mind, so I can tab my way to happiness.

I think I'm being misunderstood here. People don't seem to understand the concept of WHERE data is housed very well. My mom probably doesn't know that the email she reads is stored on Yahoo's servers. To her there is just a screen that sh

Now apparently I have the thought process of a three year old, but I think when you actively disagree with a particular product, so much as to post online and change images to remind you of how they are actively evil... yet continue to use

You know, most people seem JUST FINE with their files scattered on other people's computers. Just look at webmail!

Uhh. I think its intellectually dishonest. He wants Google to not play in China because he thinks its morally wrong. Yet, he uses Google even though he views their policies as morally wrong. Do you see what I mean?

I assume the main argument against this idea is the burden it places on the Javascript engine. Its the same reason people use gzip and not packer (well, assuming packer produces a smaller file, which happens sometimes). Engines are getting

I find it curious that he is so hostile to Google when he appears to use their services so much. I think there is a severe disconnect with the rah rah privacy Google is bad and the "oh but I really like their apps". Hopefully the cognitive

Sure, but I mean parts of Rails are better than Django. For example, I think Rails has better support for migrations than Django. Its not a huge, "game-changing" kind of difference, but its an instance of something that Rails surpasses Djan

My honest response is I don't know what the current state of the world is like in 64bit land. My one experience was deeply frightening (what do you mean I can't listen to music without having to maintain a 32bit userland?)

Because parsing isn't free. In addition, one interesting optimization it opens up is something akin to the JVM where performance improves as profiling of code is done. Imagine if every site that used a Javascript library served to improve t

Yah, as a first time user though, I wasn't sure how to get stuff back after I hid it unfortunately. I got used to it after awhile though, so I guess it was okay.

...and Rails surpasses Django in other core areas... Not all problems are nails, hammer not tool for all circumstances, news at eleven.

The main problem I have with Opera is that my first user experience was one of abject confusion ;) The UI is really cluttered in terms of all the different bars and buttons that I didn't quite know what to do with. Chrome just feels nice. T

Again. Sometimes an order of magnitude is game-changing. There are articles about people long ago trying to cram in features into their word processor that nowadays are trivial even in shell that were immensely complex because of less RAM

Or more generally... I've been hearing about these things called caches... Maybe they should "cache" this data for the most common files. Voila, no favoritism, only sweet sweet performance. (At the cost of having some sort of frequency tabl

I'd actually say its easier to run 64-bit Vista than Linux due to the fact that people often ship binaries for Windows that seem to work whereas the SOs in Linux leave you with a mixed-mode install. Sigh.

The official line right now is that the legal team at Google is aware of the situation and is taking a look. Yay legal!

By "more and more" do you mean your fellow technology-literates? I just want to point out that I've seen numbers for Linux desktop penetrations ~1%. I doubt that many people know (or care) what scripts are at all.

Its kind of interesting to hear about how long-running the talks about Chrome have been. I think its easy to take a micro-scale view of browser development and see the weekly press releases that come one after another and declare that this

I doubt that Google began building this to compete with IE8 when it was announced given how slowly they build stuff ;) I bet its more a happy confluence of events that so much browser news has been happening of late. I think most browser "c

I imagine that the developers probably have had that Javascript speed test sitting around for awhile, so by nature they would attempt to improve their performance in those tests. Besides which, I feel the amount of effort put into improving
