I think he meant mIRC (the shareware software) is the official IRC client of the military.

If I may add, they also seem to KILL foreign people without asking anyone for permission/consent/support/whatever. Of course, Osama Bin Laden is an extreme case, but still...

That makes a lot of sense. What I was thinking about was just how many times I gave up on an app because it made me "sign up" for something just to create simple documents, play a game (sometimes even ones that should work offline

Genuinely interested in why you guys decided to roll your own cloud sync service instead of using something like dropbox or the like. I recently started using YNAB (youneedabudget.com) for OSX and iPhone, and one of the things I liked the m

I was wondering how he thought of that. Even though we don't know, this explanation is beautiful and makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

Google has acknowledged that their vision of where this is going is, at best, partial: "While we may believe we know where this technology will take us, history suggests we that should be humble in our predictions. We are excited to se

Brazilian here. We get, by law, 30 days every year. We get 1+1/3 normal pay on those days. You can choose to "sell" 10 of those 30 days and work (getting paid your normal wage plus the vacation money), but you HAVE to take th

There's obviously that, good point. I also think we can't forget the price point. I buy my iPhone games for $5 at most. Steam usually has a lot of promotions and discounts, so I get lots of games for under, say, 15 bucks. Physical

That is a great side project and one that has helped me already. Kudos for linking to the first-hand info. Now, I just found some info that you currently don't have on the site. I'll contact you via email with the link, but maybe you want t

Was very excited to try this since they now support Brazil. Unfortunately, they can't verify my phone number because... It's in Brazil. Is it supposed to be that way, or am I overlooking something?

Working for BigCo here in Brazil, and the latter holds true for me and lots of other people in our company. Seems like a great way to put it.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought you were implying that BEING called an American was offensive, instead of the other way around. I understand now. I also didn't see the implication of being "not really American" if you don't say it t

Non-American here, and I failed to see how "an American would say" is offensive. It seems to me that it's just pointing out the differences, which doesn't ring as offensive at all. Would you care to explain? (I am genuinely asking this ques

Yes, that might well be a good move for Apple. We're talking "market share" and "control of infrastructure" and all that. That makes sense. One problem, though: It sucks that, in order to make a move that makes economic sense, you have to b

"The stickers and t-shirts are meant as a way to help the project while still getting something in return - think of it as a donation with a perk." I feel that's how we should think of most stuff we back on Kickstarter. Since at some levels

This makes sense. If you're very interested, it doesn't feel like an obligation, so a longer school year is like "more time doing what you like". The problem is, like someone has already pointed out, schools fail to do this. So you end up w

Not sure it provides "90% of this". Your mappings ARE really cool (in fact I've just added them to my .vimrc, thanks). I think the nicest feature of dwm.vim, though, is the "focus" and automatic layout of windows. Big left pane + lots of sm

+1 for tmux, I've been using it for a few months and loving every minute of it. One question about tmux/dwm.vim, though: Is there a way we could have the "focus"/automatic layout feature in tmux? I'd love to press a key combo and have tmux
