Last I heard it was going to be 120. But for a 9 year old program going from 80-100 that's an overall pretty good deal I'd think. I (a)buse prime shipping a lot so I tend to get a good bit of use out of it.

I actually bought apple keyboards for work because i can't stand super high travel keyboards like the old 286 style PC's. But to each his own, I think i'm just used to laptop style keyboard travel.

True, however a key distinction i'm making here is knowing something exists and knowing how it works and being able to replicate that in another system could be just as much of an infinite timesink. I'd rephrase the "nothing

I guess I disagree that uploading minds is more feasible. One is more of an engineering/physics challenge, and uploading minds is dependent upon a vast set of unknown unknowns. We aren't even out of the door on the idea of biologi

I'll just note, that after coming back to C after a while in ruby/python/ungh, perl land everything in C99 and C11 has been a welcome change. Seeing lack of adoption to things like just stdbool.h or even C99 initializer synta

It could be, but the problem there is its a different concept being implemented as the same english word stealing. One has a legal definition implying loss of a tangible good, the other a rather different definition implying you haven'

Ok so case sensitivity is "trolling" us. Upper case ß, or take turkish as another example. Not every language agrees with the idea that case sensitivity is trolling.

Would Korean fall under this category along with Vietnamese? I ask because while I can't read Korean, I know enough to sound things out based on its character set. Which is really really cool. I also dated a vietnamese girl and the lat

I think the implication is that a likely explanation of the situation is that if the alphabet is a mish mash of other languages it is also possibly just a made up conglomeration that was used to make up the manuscript. Basically the xkcd co

For contrived examples this is true but these are a bit contrived. For && vs and, by the time you hit the need to differentiate those in ruby, you'll likely be at the port of operator precedence being a thing that is understand

I mostly agree, my only digression would be that iTunes should be split from the player component with plugins, and the store component. Then plugins like you had even back in the winamp days like milkdrop can stay in the player, where they
