Aside from compatibility testing, does anyone here really use Firefox much? I use Safari, with Chrome on occasion. That's about it. I also recall that Firefox leaked a lot of memory, not sure if that's been fixed now. If it's

>> NSA hires the best nerds. I'm skeptical of this. In a hypothetical programming/engineering competition, I'd bet Apple and/or Google could clean the clocks of any government agency or defense contractor, sans bui

A good way to do it would be to radically downsize the federal government and return back to limited constitutional government. The less money they have, the less stuff they can do. Return power (and tax revenues) back to the states so that

Yep, exactly my thoughts. Also, didn't Tim Cook say the mini was going to be manufactured in the US as well? And could it also be the case that the Mini will follow the Pro's form factor because it would save money in manufacturin

Not sure if this applies to all Intel Macs, but once the EFI firmware password is set, only Apple can break it by calling support or going to an Apple Store. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2391 I've lost laptops before, and always called A

I didn't study CS, but have found this on almost every developer's bookshelf, impressive run. Since my friend has it, I wanted to get something different and picked up Skiena's Algorithm Design Manual. Anyone have thoughts between the two?

I smiled as I saw this at the top. I know web programming's where it's at, but learning Django's been kind of a chore for me. And with an ok math background, Project Euler's been fun so far. Now working on Problem 11 to compute the highest
