Well then Best Buy has lapsed. Canadian site requires you to register in order to check out.

Sounds like he's happy w/ xfce anyway. I'm not sure why he felt compelled to let us all know he wasn't switching. Eventful, to be sure.

I know at least a few people who change their reddit and HN identities rather frequently. Some people just want to be relatively anonymous and I'd be wary of attributing it to anything more than that without good reason.

That doesn't matter. They are obligated to investigate each and every phone call to their fullest extent. Only if the same person called repeatedly could they even begin to think about the "boy who cried wolf" excuse.

Long story short it was to reduce the number of chips and thus cost, area, and heat (which leads to noise). There are good articles on this on AnandTech or Ars Technica but I can't find them.

Temporary monopolies. That's pretty key and you omitted it entirely. > If we wanted to reward innovation we'd reward innovators. Instead of wasting money on patents and court we'd give it to people who (according to their peers) did t

In theory it seems like it should though doesn't it? Maybe if we did something to fix the problems it wouldn't be so bad. Right now it's hard for little guys to get patents, partly because it costs a lot of money and time (lawyers are expen

For those of us who haven't hit homebrew's edge cases in years of use are probably fine to keep using homebrew. If it ain't broke... I just want it to install packages. It does that so I'm happy.

It's going to take some getting used to the low contrast for me. Window titles and source list items are much more subtle now, for better and worse. Overall I think I like it. The focus on content should be a good thing. Right now I have a

It's not so common that I hear it often or anything. It might not even be as well known as I think it is.

Node isn't a web framework, it's more of unixy, network oriented stdlib for v8.

It's not the best metaphor but it is a relatively well known and understood saying for many native English speakers (at least in North America). I think some people who have replied to you are trying way too hard to make the metaphor fit. T

The distribution & install story is better w/ a single statically linked exe (imo of course). Not to mention installing node for development and on servers. When everything is in one place it's just so easy. I think the benefit is huge

You can run a CoffeeScript repl using node.

Sometimes they bump the price up and down here and there, but rarely enough to cause even a stir. For the most part it is pretty constant though.

For once we didn't get shafted in Canada. Our prices start at $999 too instead of $1099.

They'll be puzzled when they copy and paste something but their vhost still doesn't work because they didn't, say, enable vhosts in httpd.conf in the first place. If they can install and configure Apache on a remote server, they can install

Try to instruct a noob on configuring Apache for vhosts or adding users to mysql then come back and tell me the deployment story for LAMP is so good. Node.js wins for deployment if you ask me. Node.js + riak handily beats the pants off of t

If your backup strategy doesn't account for your main disk failing at any given time you've already lost.

In C it's generally accepted that forward jumps using goto are okay because the version that avoids goto would be complicated and confusing. Often used for error handling and memory management.

May as well just go to the source and listen to Horace Dediu's podcast. (slightly ranting tangent) The "pros" can't make a working link nor can they link to the appropriate page. First link to 5by5 is broken and why link "5by5 networks" to

Yes, to be fair that's not made by Samsung. Since everyone else is speculating though... I agree their hand in its creation was probably non-trivial.

by sjs 15y ago
If Samsung doesn't catch wind of the new component or can't study it until it's released to the public then Apple is still ahead until Samsung can duplicate the manufacturing process. They are good at copying but some things just take time,

Why hasn't anyone brought up error handling yet? What happens when an error is thrown inside a twait block? What happens when 2 errors are thrown inside a twait block? Tame.js looks nice in that it's very simple to learn but ~300 lines of p

Your code is indented less than it might otherwise be indented, and you type fewer literal functions. Oh and there wasn't any mention of error handling so apparently there is nothing to help you when one of the calls in a twait block throws

Interesting. Are you saying that Spotify's radio is more like actual radio? Where you just listen and what's on is on? If so then Grooveshark definitely deserves a higher rating than Spotify for radio. Recommendations can be improved but no
