Np, sorry for the terseness, I was feeding a baby at the time and going mouse-only :).

For sure, though they might not notice as much since its not every time they turn it on. I play some games that do weekly updates and they largely haven't been as annoying since i play them consistently. I'm sure this varies depending on

True, but my xbox is broken. However when it was working the updates went pretty quickly. PS updates often take up to 45 minutes.

I get it and I'm not trying to change your mind. I'm sorry that others here were not very nice today. I'm sure the work you are doing has real meaning and that is why it is important to you. At my job it just means someone gets a little

I hate firefox updates because I use it infrequently enough that I have to update just about every time I open it. Also on this list is my Playstation3, which wants me to do system update and a software title update on the rare occasion I

I appreciate your comments and the level of understanding you showed your husband. I think a lot of your perspective comes from the military life. In that career path refusing to do something or to show up can potentially ruin your career

For my wife's 30th birthday our inlaws paid for a mini vacation in probably the nicest hotel we'll ever visit. We had a fancy dinner planned for the first night and it had been a long time since my wife and I had gotten away from the kids.

One of my favorite things about the 80 column rule is it makes it even more effective to split your window vertically.

I just started reading The Master Switch over the weekend, and I think what the writer here is talking about is the potential to completely destroy the current PC industry, much in the way that the telephone destroyed telegrams. Whether it

I'll upgrade when they give us more than 2 inches to edit the PATH environment variable.

"Linux is only free if your time is worthless" Had to do it. I like linux a lot, but It doesn't make the quote false.

I tried to use Sublime for Java (w/ Spring/Hibernate) for a day and found several things I can't live without: 1. Ctrl-1: Automatically tries to fix a compile error. I use this a lot to get my imports automatically, and for other random

Why waste the mental space, especially with something you don't know you'll be using again? Not to mention the fact that api documentation can be difficult to find or may not exist at all. The Autocomplete knows exactly what methods are a

I didn't find this article to be very scientific. Although it claims certain rules are arbitrary it doesn't bother to point out what makes them so, which is what I was expecting when I clicked on this.

This advice sounds fantastic, and I've bookmarked it for reference. Thank you for sharing!

You might have been able to deflect more of this if you had made up a new type of security that broke the rules (something nobody could have expected), however I thought your example illustrated the issue very well. For me it is especially

I feel you have missed the point of the article by criticizing the example. The suggestions you mention are discussed as possibilities, and his 'security is Option' is shown to give an example of bad code that arises during the quick fix p

In my stack eclipse + tomcat hits up to 1300mb, plus leaky firefox with another 1gb, and windows and everything else at about 1.5gb. 4gb is barely enough.

Exactly, there is nothing wrong with long range planning. Planning this far out allows you LOTS of time to iterate on your plans, making them better.

I like Microsoft's OneNote for this because it removes the saving/naming from the workflow, and it has a decent search.

I'm with you, but it has to be a choice based on each parent's values. I personally LOVE video games, but my 2 year old hasn't even seen one yet, and I'm not trying to get her into them any time soon. Especially with TV I think there is p

Seems like they should just combine Body Scanners + Metal Detectors + Pat Downs. A weakness in one tech doesn't make the whole stack worthless. Please don't interpret this comment as approval of the body scanners or the pat downs. I'm jus

Not dangerous, this poster is absolutely right. I know how to eat healty, and I have the means, but I often eat unhealthily anyway. It is not the same class as being homeless. I'm not saying that everyone is in the position to choose, but
