I agree that his request for the IP address of the person who made him "gayassfuck guy who wants to be raped" is a bit silly, but on the other hand his tone is appropriate. Just imagine finding yourself in his position, would you approach i

That's unreasonably expensive. For $68.46 he payed for a day you can have an "el-cheapo" dedicated box or a great VPS for a month. I still don't understand why people trade a bit of system administration and superb performance for a vendor

I don't know exactly why, but my mouse tends to be in the lower right corner of the screen most of the time. Considering that, launching an app from the bottom of the screen involves less work for me. I'm not sure if that's true for the res

It appears he was wrong about it. If anything, the cities are not just getting bigger and denser, they are starting to "specialize". (Geeks tend to congregate in the SF area, investment bankers in the NY city, ...) Anyhow, he described the

That's strange. I had 11.04 on an old, battered machine (Athlon 2500+, 768 MB RAM, Radeon 9600) for about a week and it worked OK. Scratch that, I had no performance issues at all. The only reason I installed xubuntu on it was that after I'

These "accidental" losses do not go unnoticed. Every online community, every tech blog, every kid and his dog is talking about the new iPhone. Why spend money when you can do it for free?

Or they need a new marketing ploy. P.S. Why are all the comments suggesting that this is not an accidental loss down-voted?

While this is an excellent topic for advanced vim users, I suspect that the majority of us would benefit more from a "Beyond the basics" topic. I'm comfortable with using vim to edit files now and then, but for that role any editor will d

Short answer: Yes, it is! As a self-taught programmer with no formal CS education, learning assembly (and working my way through SICP) gave me both the confidence and a deeper understanding of computer programming. If you're looking for a b
