For me it's the same but the software I use is for Unix. By the way, most of the software you use is available on OS X and Linux as well. All of it that I can see, but I'm not familiar with Pencil, Widcomm BT, or FBReader. I guess if the so

You say it runs Windows 7 like that's a good thing. (I'm no Windows fan, but if it ran a regular desktop Linux distro I would feel the same way) The UI and methods of interaction are what make the iPad different from almost every other tabl

When using Gnome I've always configured them to be on the left anyway. But using the same order as in OS X, close on the far left. People still have the choice to move them to the right if they want. Viva la choice. Windows and OS X both su

I think it sucks too, but the truth is that without the app store you would have to pay a lot to match their billing system and exposure (top app lists, what's new, featured apps, etc). I mean, it's too easy to buy apps on the app store. Cu

As Mike Pall said: "None of the benchmarks make use of JavaScript's weird corners. And all of them can (or could) be reduced to simple constructs. So I wouldn't blame it on the language differences alone (maybe on the implementation)." Only

I said, " Almost every feature ...", and you probably found a few it lacks. I'm not talking in absolutes as that rarely produces an interesting discussion. Thus I don't really see your point, if anything you helped to prove mine, as hundr

In the 30+ years Emacs has been around people have written a huge amount of Emacs Lisp that does pretty much everything you can think of. Almost every feature from other editors and IDEs has been implemented in Emacs. I like Lisp but rarely

iPhone is where the money is at, so developers develop for the platform that can feed them. Sure it sucks that you give 30% to Apple, but 70% of a significant chunk is better than even 100% of a small sliver. Developers will follow the user

I believe them. I'm not quite that fastidious about washing my hands after being out in public, and I've only had a flu once when I was 10-12. It was a 24-hour flu and it was very unpleasant, but thankfully that's the only time I've had it.

Some can't admit Apple's drawbacks, some can't admit their strengths. Let's just call them all close-minded instead of "fanboys", then we don't have to come up with a 2nd lame insult only meant to dismiss someone without having to actually

It is free to develop for OS X. Why would Apple port Xcode to another OS? You don't hear anyone whine about MS not allowing you to run Visual Studio on Linux or OS X. What's the benefit to porting Xcode anyway? Having more shitty apps writt

I'm not a member, but don't you get a hardware discount once per year or so that basically makes the membership free, at least once? (and maybe more if you upgrade frequently) The benefits may not be huge you at least get dev builds of OS X

That's true. I quite like OS X and use MacPorts as well. These days I use OS X almost exclusively. The only reason Linux wins is OS X still has some installers. Not many, but any at all are too many for me. Copying app bundles around is eas

Well, I think systems and languages are pretty cool. Knowing how they work is good practice even if it only demystifies them for you. Also, every program is either an interpreter or a compiler if you squint just right.

Governments could begin programs to create namespaces for citizens who would like a domain. We already have TLDs for countries, and often for smaller divisions as well (i.e. provinces, states, etc), we could just keep adding sub domains fo

It's pretty silly to have a serious dev machine without a package manager. What do you do when you migrate to a new machine? I like to copy a list of packages and then run an update/upgrade command. Linux wins by far. Copying a directory of

I'm not trying to advocate alcohol & drug use, I just thought it was a fun quote and somewhat on-topic. It's supposed to be tongue in cheek, at least that's how I interpret it.

It's really only a security hole for them, afaik anyway. Are there known exploits besides the jailbreaking tools? Considering what we go through to jailbreak I'd be pretty surprised if there was an OTA exploit.
