Git manages code. How you choose to deploy your code is a completely separate matter. If the purpose of your staging server is to provide a final test in a close replica of your production environment, git doesn't address this need. While g

Confidentiality protections are not really intended to protect individual privacy rights. Several professions (legal, medical, etc.) rely on confidentiality in order to effectively provide critical services that benefit the greater good.

I disagree. I've been (and still am) a hard core Linux user for over 10 years, installing it on almost every piece of hardware that's come my way. When it comes to laptops, Apple's offerings in the last few years have been well ahead of the

I thoroughly dislike optical drives, regardless of the platform, and see their demise as a good thing. In laptops, they add weight and draw excessive power. Elsewhere, only commercial manufacturing provides reliable storage, but even this i

Except the debate isn't open vs. closed . It's iOS vs. Android . Since Jobs is trying to strengthen Apple's position in that debate, where's the foul?

Better yet: Canon provides capability for low tier support technicians to obtain copies of sensitive documents. "The server will email the administrator a PDF copy of the document in question if a user attempts to do so." Seriously, WTF?

What model? I have a 1000HE. Its portability and battery life are great for travel, but its form factor makes it painful for development (without an external monitor/keyboard/mouse).

I'm a keyboard junkie (using Vimperator right now), but OSX still has a few brick walls when it comes to keyboard shortcuts. For example, there are no built-in shortcuts to move/resize/maximize the current window. This is pretty basic stuff

I think the "you" was directed hypothetically at the reader, not you specifically. trevelyan makes some good points. I love my MBP, but consider it more of a host machine than a development machine. I do most of my development in VMs or whi

I loved my T41p. It was so pleasant to use that it became my main workstation. Unfortunately, the battery stopped holding a decent charge and the fan stopped completely. Since Macs were growing in popularity, I needed one for testing, so I

I like the format, but agree it could have been done better in this particular case.

But he followed up by forming a company, developing, and shipping actual software based on these ideas. This doesn't look like mere patent trolling.

Well, that explains why the majority of vendor support systems suck. It certainly discourages me from using them.

It's a smart move to offer a backup tool, especially when enforcing a TOS that's subject to interpretation and causes (alleged) violators to complain very loudly in public forums when their accounts are permanently canceled and their data b

Zuckerberg faced no such barrier. For less than $1,000, he could get his idea onto the Internet. He needed no permission from the network provider. He needed no clearance from Harvard to offer it to Harvard students. Neither with Yale, or

Perhaps he assumed that we'd implicitly agree that fart apps are a bane and Wikipedia is a boon. However, without explicitly making his position plain, it could be a trap!

Those arguments can be used to put off adopting any technical advance. While it may be wise not to follow a policy of early adoption, eventually there's a tipping point that will force one to embrace the present. The disadvantages of protec

I don't think anyone seriously expects IE9 to be ported to Linux or even OS X. These questions simply highlight the possibility that Microsoft's strategy of trying to lock users to applications that are locked to the platform could turn out

I'll give you an upvote for your logic, but I'm also a web developer and know that porting IE to other platforms would only complicate my life, adding additional browser/platform permutations that I would have to test. Porting IE 9 to the
