I didn't know what gnote was, and when I was reading that I thought he was trying to say that it was a Mono/C# app. My impression of what he was saying -- which it turns out is probably way off -- was that Mono/C# in the hands of seasoned d

Even BEFORE you turn 18. There are cases of <18 yo kids being tried as adults for 'possessing', 'producing' or 'distributing' child pornography. Even the girl who takes the pictures of herself is not safe from this sort of legal syste

But I take it that most statutory rape happens less for economic reasons than most authorities/politicians would like us to believe. Most people that abuse/rape children do so because it has happened to them, not because they find it to be

I don't know if this is relevant or not, but Safari uses OSX's ported libraries as DLLs. If the memory size of those DLLs is being used, it would show up as less memory usage on an OSX machine due to those libraries being a shared part of t

That average has no meaning. Are they averaging the homework loads of grades K-12? Obviously kids in higher grades will have higher workloads, while kids in kindergarten will have little to no homework.

I would be interested in a write-up of how you do your planning and finances using Vim (format, helper scripts, etc). I'm mostly interested in your workflow/text file formatting is like.

I have a bunch of issues with this post, regardless of the feasibility of micropayments. First off, saying that people didn't go for the $0.xx/kB data plans on cellphones due to 'mental accounting' that people have when the price is <$1

So... you're saying that the fundamental problem with Linux is that when logging in remotely from the command line it's not as easy to use as a GUI/Desktop environment? I'd like to see you ssh into text-only Windows! In any case, you find i

Look at Adium (which is IM, but I don't think IRC) and Colloquy (IRC and SILC) on OSX. They output chat to XML which is then 'themed' with XSLT into HTML to display in a Webkit frame. It sounds really convoluted, but it's presented in HTML

Spending priorities don't just stop with TV (which is probably the least offender since they can be relatively cheap). I could drive around neighborhoods in Detroit (as far back as pre-2000) and see a lot of people with houses that were fal
