I have a couple of strawberry pots by the window in my apartment. The flavor is way better than anything store bought. It's the same thing with picking and eating blueberries straight out of the bush, or from some roadside stall. Somet

The style is an artifact/limitation of using a vector display. Compare to today’s ubiquity of a raster display. Why did they choose to use a vector display? Maybe to decrease cost and avoid placing framebuffer memory? Maybe rendering m

I’ve found that modern X11 toolkits are more bitmap-oriented, so they benefit from ssh’s forwarding with compression enabled, even in gigabit LAN scenarios. Best setup, specially for browsing, would be ssh or any other way to enable compre

If you manage to delete everything and make the billing to be zero dollars, then there's no need to close the account... In many cases, this is way harder than it sounds.

Web development used to have a RAD experience in the ages of PHP 4/ASP Classic and Dreamweaver. For better or worse, we lost this capability in the path for code purity, RESTful services and SPAs.

61% marketshare for phones in the US doesn't sound like a luxury brand to me. They might position themselves as an aspirational brand outside the US, and by keeping retail prices close to the same as in the US, no matter the local purc
