You can suspend-to-disk just fine, as long as you remember to always boot back into the OS you suspended from. I guess suspend-to-ram forces you to do that (and my preferred option anyway), but I just wanted to make sure it was clear that t

I like MuPDF. It doesn't really have an "interface" though. Just page-up, page-down, and +/- to zoom. But if all you're doing is reading pdfs...

I have to say, if it advertises by pretending I endorse its arbitrary links, then it is not a great service.

Or something Jacques disagrees with. It needn't be generally offensive or politically incorrect.

A good point. In fact, I'd almost prefer a comment service start serving up porn on my blog. At least it should, presumably, be fairly clear that it's spam, and not something I've actually endorsed. This "recommendations" feature is essenti

If the CEO of a free service I was using came onto my property and started smashing my windows, I'd certainly feel I have the right to demand he stop (even if his actions were endorsed by the service). By all means, they have the right to s

I would just about buy it purely on the basis of being 4:3, were it so.

Do you ever think about how much time you're losing thinking about how much time you're losing eating?

My "favourite" thing about the One Class Per File thing is that (certainly when I last used it) javac would refuse to compile the class file unless it was in a directory tree identical to its namespace, and you fully specified that on the c

The question was somewhat rhetorical. The point I was trying to convey was that even though verbs can be used in a noun context, that doesn't really make them nouns. Similarly functions and objects. There's a certain verbiness to a multiply

I believe the Java equivalent is something like passableF = new NotAClosure() { public void execute(int i) { return f(i); } } But maybe someone knows better than me. I've had thankfully little to do with Java recently

Is "eat" a noun too now? What's the subject of the previous sentence? If we insisted on only using gerunds + "do", English would be a very strange world indeed. I imagine it would sound much like Java often does: "Eating is done by me of a

And Gecko uses most of the WebKit api. We're talking about implementations here, not specs.

Somehow I find that despite all the pretty graphs showing how fast Chrome/Firefox are surf (by suckless) which is an ~1k lines of code wrapper for webkit consistently manages to feel faster. EDIT: Much as Chrome used to feel very fast on re

I've been much happier since I switched from trying to make a better wheel to simply trying to better understand existing wheels (by reinventing them).

I would say we don't need people to invent new things, but we do want them to.

I'm going to go ahead and say that's "fortunate" rather than "unfortunate"...

Interestingly that was why I disliked English specifically. It felt like the teacher often had a predetermined view, and would grade a compelling argument for the opposite view below a holey one for the "right" one.

Do you then think that these people of disreputable character regularly steal from their local grocery stores? Or at least, that they have no moral qualms about doing that, as it's the same as copyright infringement, and the only reason the

I'm against piracy, but I can none-the-less see a clear distinction between copyright infringement and theft. > For the developer/distributor/publisher/artist or whomever is expecting a cut from sales the result is the same: they lost a

It does seem like unemployment is not a problem of too little work, but rather the uneven distribution of it.

I don't know about that. I think the rich people might find it a touch inconvenient if the peasants rebelled. Not insurmountable, you understand, but ... inconvenient. And distasteful. Easier to just pay them a small living wage, provide th

I currently work three days a week for a reasonable salary. Admittedly I live in New Zealand, so possibly the job market is different here (we're a pretty laid-back culture, and there's a shortage of good programmers). I would suggest nego
