Nice simple idea. It's mapped to trigger? I think the cost is a bit too high for something that feels a bit gimmicky to your average dude though, esp once you add a margin for yourself (assuming that's your goal).

(void)x does not work on all compilers to silence the warning. gcc + cl != C.

Related to this, I recently was wishing I could separate some|all of my Google services with extra or different passwords. I'm not exactly sure what I want as far as design vs. usability but it feels bad right now to have one password for t

What a PITA :( <insert standard .ca mobile rage here>. I passed on the Milestone from Telus because they did the same stupid shit. So sad that Google's dropping the direct web sales post-N1.

How about "Enjoy programming, not dealing with pesky users/customers"? That's my excuse anyway.

I think Xbox 360 is doing pretty well in the minds of consumers. Its future and Google TV seem like they're going to be in direct competition, so I think it's a real 3-way battle.

Agreed. The features and progress demonstrated in Android was great, but the continuous "open blah blah" and snide Apple-Flash-whatever 'jokes' were tiring and lame. Did they really think they wouldn't get media coverage pointing out the ob

I disagree. If my parent stays around and eats all my food, I'm carrying bad genes that cause me to die pre-reproduction.

by s3graham 16y ago
The "reason" for aging seems almost self-evident to me. The goal is to pass on [mutated] genetic information. Post-reproduction, you're simply a drag on local resources. Hypothetical populations that didn't age and die would have killed the

Well, that kind of freaks me out. I've always kind of assumed killing myself on a project just might require a vacation to solve. Perma-burnout... yikes.

Awesome url. Back button not working on Android is very irritating.

It doesn't seem like it was completely innocent. He was cleared of the "sexual harassment" charge but the investigation also concluded that "showing the paper was a joke with a sexual innuendo" (at least how I read that article). Depending

> So, can anyone do a diff of the binaries? :) Probably not easily. SecureROM and similar do full file encryption, so you'd have to crack it yourself and then diff. I'd like to believe #3, but I'm guessing someone needed to "get it done

Any recommendations for fleshed out languages/tools that can export to ObjC (ignoring 3.3.1 for now), Java, and C#? I suppose the easiest version is a Blub that does only what they all can easily do language-wise and mobile-API-wise. edit:

Yeah, git can work similarly too, though I can't remember the clone flag (--bare I think?). My dumb brain hurts whenever I try to do something moderately complex with git, so I tend to stick to hg.

I always find watching US tv bizarre because of that. You have all the usual crap car/cellphone/food ads and then all of a sudden they're diving into surreal craziness about cholesterol levels and brain chemistry that I suspect 99%+ of view

That's not true. Much of the UI toolkit is in Java and normal interaction frame rate suffers without a lot of care and fiddly caching tricks.

It's not quite that obvious. Compared to desktop/server where almost any jit is a win, there's substantial pressure on memory usage and battery life. An interpreter can do better on whole-system performance for both of those, without specia

+1 on the "fancier" sounding names/varieties being a good idea. Makes the comparison to random packages-of-99c-seeds more in your favour. Nifty idea overall! But add me to the list of I-don't-have-a-zip-code.

Yes, it was for the pdf. Clutter the web with SE spam, and the make you log in to get the real document. Gee, thanks.

I raged against the fonts for a long time, but I actually prefer the Gnome ones now. You might grow to love them. You probably do want the fonts from Windows though (just put them in ~/.fonts) Window borders as in colours? Or window borders
