If I saw the unchecked checkbox without a nearby checked one for comparison, I don't think I would know what it is. The solid fill strays a little too much from the paradigm. Other than that, beautiful design.

Looking through the responses here, I'm hopeful that someone will launch a "Sysacademy" variant for system administration training. There are tutorials scattered around the web, but (at least for those of us who don't know where to look), t

I was in the Army in the mid-80's, when most of the NCO's and officers were Vietnam vets. The critical importance of keeping your weapon clean was stressed because the M16 was prone to jam. The vets said the AK-47, on the other hand, could

Flagged. Maybe I just need to wake up, drink some coffee, and not be so cranky. But I'm getting really fed up with these linked pieces that are nothing more than a thin veneer over some other publication's / writer's article.

The problem with Buy.com is that "buy" is a word (or call to action), not a brand. I've probably seen the buy.com URL around here or there, but the word is so pedestrian, it doesn't ring any bells.

For anyone hardware inclined, if there is an industry that needs to be disrupted it's the hearing aid industry. My dad had to get a new set, and I couldn't believe how much prescription hearing aids are. And the non-prescription are junk. M

Since their US servers are based in New York, what are the state's policies as far as sales taxes? I believe there was a issue with Linode's Texas hub that any sales to Texas residents required you collect sales tax. Does NY have a similar

As the father of two boys, I'm amazed people are willing to pay these prices. After buying a couple of sets, I refused to do it again. The pieces come apart easily and wind up as vacuum fodder in the carpet. And in my experience, they didn'

I don't think that's a fair assessment of the situation. The article didn't say that half the students were cheating. It said that half were suspected of cheating. Of course, considering that it's an Introduction to Congress class, you coul

Curious about the CPU usage of canvas apps on older systems, I ran this in FF and Chrome. (I'd classify the system I'm on at the moment as a mid-tier business PC from 2008.) FF maintained a CPU usage mostly in the 33-40% range and Chrome in

I agree with you, and so does Google image search for UI+slider. This is what a "slider" UI widget is in my book: http://jqueryui.com/slider/ BTW, real sliders can suck, too, if they don't offer a textbox where you can type in the value.
