I don't know if "feature" is the right word when all this means is you can choose to install it. GNOME3 is still the default DE ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/18/FeatureList )

It's easy to check -- delete all secure cookies and see if you stay logged in. Maybe Google is doing something that keeps MobileSafari from reading the secure attribute, since I've never noticed this in my tests on iOS.

What are the advantages of IronSpread over traditional Python COM access? The API appears only marginally better than Excel's VBA interface, and it looks like IronSpread can't interact with multiple workbooks. The benefit of having the shel

The author conflates quite a few unrelated concepts. Monads with "interfaces and object models," and templates with type inference. Perhaps in the programmer's head these all serve similar functions (often erroneously. See, e.g. http://blo

Tabletop made a huge mistake making their bottom line dependent on YouTube's upvoting system. What if YouTube decides to get rid of the "Thumbs up" system? Or if Google wants a share of your revenue from this service? See edw519's comments
