I've already chimed in elsewhere in this thread, telling my story (I'm an owner of a 8,1 MBP who bought my laptop just to run linux on it). I've found that Ubuntu has the most "mature" Apple user community. They have their own PPA (which,

I'm a 2011 MacBook Pro (8,1) owner who, due to some lapse of rational thinking, bought the laptop with the intent of running Linux on it from the get-go. tl;dr -- Natty was a horrible experience for Sandy Bridge systems, but Oneiric has b

You might consider the Nook Color. $250 gets you a very capable android device (it's an official CyanogenMod device), although it lacks some of the usual bells and whistles one might expect in the tablet space (front-facing camera, gyro, et

This seems to be the same for other uber-celebs who are posting on G+ (the only other person in his league of popularity who I read with any regularity would probably have to be Markus Perrson (aka @Notch), and it's the exact same thing for

Is there a way to expose only certain buffers in certain tabs? My experience has been that all tabs show all loaded buffers... For this reason, I've pretty much forgone tabs in favor of minibufexpl.vim ( https://github.com/fholgado/minibufe

This is the programmer/IDE-dweeb's version of "well yeah.. but does it run Linux?" Only half joking; the parent's comment is exactly what I thought after searching through the feature list. It's funny how, when forced to work outside of vim

Yes. My thoughts exactly. I recall seeing different incarnations of this "evolving story", so it inspired me to whip up this quick, lame flowchart of my understanding of the timeline that lead to this post on RWW: http://www.gliffy.com/pub

My read of the original announcement on piratebay (sorry, link not handy) was that the group who made the release asserted that: 1) the passwords were unsalted 2) they had already recovered plaintext passwords has anyone followed up on this

This is a great series. I'd recommend anyone who doesn't consider themself an agile veteran (And many of the people I've met who do) read and understand these blog posts. If anything, they do a superb job of providing a low-level primer on

FYI for other users: installing Gnome3 via UGR ( http://ugr.teampr0xy.net/ ) will break your unity install. Ubuntu (and Unity) is still Gnome2-based (I haven't heard anything, yet, concerning a move to Gnome3 for a future release). So upg

I actually play AoS on Snow Leopard using a Wineskin wrapper + ie7 (gross, I know.. but all AoS games are launched from the browser and FF didn't work right for me..) If you're familiar with wineskin, the process was something like: 1. crea

I'm not against Microsoft as player in this space, per se.. but what worries me most about the prospect of the rise of WP7 in terms of marketshare is the simply having to support their [historically] awful browsers. Blah-blah-let-the-market

Why? Because cricket is so popular in the US? I hope you realize that there are places outside of this country and in those places people don't necessarily care about our cultural/historical baggage.

tl;dr -- if the only reason you'd consider "swallowing the bitter pill" of programming in JS on the server is because of the fallacy that you can get a single codebase for the client and server, then node isn't for you. Way to knock down th

Old book is old. This has been a free e-book since its publication. Singularity scifi is pretty cliche at this point. Stross, by his own admission, hasn't done any serious thinking on the topic since the mid-00's. His more recent work of ne
