   If you find cygwin annoying and/or slow, try mingw. If you grab the official git windows client you get a mini-install with openssh which works fine :) I use putty myself, and if I'm only allowed to use a web browser, I'll ju

   I guess owning up and apologising would go a long way to remedy your situation. Dont be sleazy in your wording. you'll still have some haters at the end of it all, but those you'll probably not get back on-side anyhow. Good luck!

    Depends 'how live' it is I guess. I doubt it'd be a good thing to be able to track vehicles in real time with number one eyeball. Though I can probably think of a number of applications of live streaming satellite info that w

    I was going to buy a cheapish chromebook to go on holiday with, because I'm not going to take my MB Air abroad. Especially on the off chance I may get rained in or bored enough to do a spot of programming. So I had a budget of £200ish

    Won't this require the device to be jailbroken? It's certainly against app store properties.

    Linking to actual content. If you click on your link it claims the page doesn't exist, you have to click the same address from the sites front page. Basically that site breaks how urls work.

    doubts? hollowness? all still there. It's how you deal with them. As skidoo says, perspective is everything. If you can switch perspective on negative thought processes you can dodge nasty side effects. Better than going to the doctors

    Don't get me wrong, I use vi a fair amount, and for a long long time. But I'd not go out of my way to use it, there are plenty of better options when you're not at a command prompt. I draw the line at using emacs though ;-)

    Seriously? Hire local. 90% of my observed interactions with off-shore outfits ends in disaster or poor performance. The 10% tends to be developers from the Ukraine. Which might be less than ideal currently.
