   Agreed. Even as someone who feels pretty comfortable in Backbone this was a good exploration.

   I see you have 'closure' listed under client side languages, are you referring to Clojure? In which case it is most definitely server-side, unless you meant Clojurescript?

   I Always use -p. I can't count the number of times I've caught stuff that wasn't supposed to be committed. Also, site isn't loading for me so maybe this is discussed, but I also like using it to not commit logging / debugging statements wit

   I don't understand the "concept" of The Windows 8 UI (not Metro) Maybe it's just because I'm used to the skeuomorphism of icons and folders. The tiles Windows 8 UI (I just like typing that long unwieldy phrase) to me are in the awkward po

   You can update your bundles straight from the command line with: vim +BundleInstall! +qall Vim still opens but could be useful if you're trying to automate vim somehow.

   So all it takes to declare the "Most Profitable Company in the World" deteriorating and coming to an end is some hiccups with a fairly new product? I agree, this is fast, but not in the way you mean. http://money.cnn.com/2012/08/20/technol

    Also the concept of using THE MOON as a glorified shipping container data center warehouse makes me a little sad.

    In this context self-taught obviously means: didn't pursue computers in secondary education. I've learned way more about development post college, but I wouldn't call myself "self taught."

    I showed my sister my 4S recently, she was thinking of upgrading, and she was amazed at my lack of case. "How do you protect it from scratches?" she asked, to which I replied "I don't drop it." I can't really comprehend dropping this thing,

    The nano has a spring loaded clip on the back so you don't drop it. The nano is for listening to music while exercising. Although I just checked the product announcement, it appears they removed the clip! Probably want you to buy some armb

    Maybe I'm not remembering correctly but wasn't the iPod the first MP3 player to combine a disk harddrive with flash memory? Thereby allowing it to store gigs of music when the rest were touting 64 - 128 MBs of storage? Seems like a pretty

    What features "missing" from vim caused you to switch? With nerd-tree and fuzzy filename searching, ctrl-p or Command-T (I'm on MacVim,) ack, VimClojure for the repl, minibufexplorer and the rest of the Janus bundle for autocomplete / synt

    Ebert's comments were a surprise? One of the major themes of the movie is the incredible cost of perfection/mastery. Everyone wants to be the best at something, but so very few are willing to give everything to perfect their craft.

    Alright I suppose so. I've also switched to Vim a while back and yeah totally got my money's worth from TM1.

    Is it wrong of me to be a little miffed that I paid $50, admittedly a long time ago, for Textmate?

    I'm curious what the accomplishment would be? I use a bunch of plugins, they help me be more productive...

    To me, the word community connotes a separate entity that you interact with in some way, usually due to proximity. You might define the Craigslist Community as only people visiting craiglist.com but to me it would imply sites such as Padma

    The infantile level of discourse surrounding gun laws saddens and disgusts me. And no, I don't believe either the military or the police are corrupt. I think that is a pretty anecdotal remark.

    Hmm, I skipped linking my account to S3 or Dropbox during setup assuming I would have an option to later store my pictures there. Am I out of luck?

    Thanks! I was also planning on exporting photos to S3. It's like you read my mind...

    Ha! I was planning on writing a Flickr photo "liberator" this weekend after I recently learned there is no way to download all my original photos in bulk, even as a Pro user. Signed up for a beta invite, hopefully now I don't have to.

    As one of the people who intrinsically disagree with your stance and so skipped to the Closing section, it appears that your only argument for me is "Piracy is OK because these companies are still profitable" ?

    The title and content don't correlate. This would be like having an article titled "The Evil Hammer" and then in the article explaining how "Hammer's aren't actually evil, just you shouldn't use them in situations where a saw would be more
