As much as I'd like to see it, I don't think Windows will ever quite get there. Not, at least, in any recognisable form. They value backwards-compatibility way to much (which is to be commended in some ways, but won't save th

So basically is an adult, public-domain version of those books you can get for children, where they insert their name in the story. e.g. http://www.simplypersonalized.com/product/personalized-spide...

Personally, I think cross-platform support is more enticing at this stage. Especially since you could just drop the whole collection directory into a git-tracked folder, and have half of those features. Also, how do you feel about others (i

I've been wanting to create a file format like this for so long. Good job! The main thing I was thinking of doing differently was zipping the whole thing up, so that it would become a single file that you could pass around, similar in

I'm sure the boss would love to come round every ten minutes to play school-teacher, and tell the noisy kids to keep it down.

I love this idea and it immediately reminds me of the Crystal Clear methodology [1]. A whole team being isolated together means you get more collaboration, cross-pollination and natural communication. It's not perfect either though if

I've basically given up. I just use [Launchy]( http://www.launchy.net/ ) instead. Although it's discontinued, so I should really find a replacement.

I feel a lot of these quotes are true of, not just America, but many of its allies, such as here in Australia. Aussies don't want to see themselves as poor, or in the lower socio-economic group. They all have aspirations of grandeur, a

Even worse though, is that these sorts of courses are almost always derided by the majority of the student base as a waste of time, and "common sense stuff". I actually really enjoyed the one I did, although it had just gone throu

That's because eBay changed the way they want to be perceived. They want to sell themselves as a place to buy stuff, like Amazon, not so much as a marketplace of individual sellers selling stuff. By basically removing buyer feedback, t

Really, this is more like [NeoVim]( https://github.com/neovim/neovim ), in the way it's structured and with its aim to rebuild its namesake in a modular fashion with swappable UIs.

You may be interested in [LimeText]( https://github.com/limetext/lime ), if it ever gets to a usable state. It's aiming to be a open-source clone of Sublime.

This is rubbish! Surely Australia's National Dictionary should be the Macquarie Dictionary, i.e. the one actually published by Australians. Why should we be relying on Oxford when we have a home-grown solution?

It's not even that the paragraphs are long; it just a crazy scattershot of every conceivable combination of quote blocks, italics, bold, dot points etc. It's like they wrote the piece as a Markdown example to show someone how you
