I'm at the point where I keep both Chrome and FF open. Chrome for work and FF for browsing, where I find Treestyle Tabs too valuable to lose. I've pretty much given up on there being a true Chrome equivalent at this point, but I would proba

I think that's just random auto-complete noise caused by the fact that their search input uses a fairly common name.

I've used Macs since OS 8 and I don't quite get the symbols myself. It's command-option-escape, for future reference.

Wow, we should all be so lucky.

It took me awhile to find it, because in FF 10 on Windows, the X|Y button is showing up as an FL (it looks like it might be a sprite issue? the buttons on the bottom have the same problem) but once I found it, I liked it a lot.

I wonder if this is going to bring us back to the days where you need to run a server version of the OS if you want an environment suitable for doing technical work. I can't imagine running this on my dual 30'' setup.

It looks like a non-trivial portion of this is F#, so if you're interested in that, it might be worth poking around the github repo.

Hah, that does sound interesting, but the last thing I need is a repetitive strain injury in my eye muscles.

I wonder if that isn't a hint at some flaw with the SDK or hardware. Usually MS is very gung ho about having early adopters through all of their various betas and early access plans and previews and etc.

I can't wait to see what sorts of apps come out of this. I have a dual 30'' display set up, and I'd love to be able to have some sort of "cursor follows my eyes" type of feature so that I can quickly move around all of that screen real esta

I've used nHibernate for ~7 years at this point and I push it whenever I can. One of the big issues it faces is that there's no documentation equivalent to MSDN. Even if the MSDN documentation is useless (which it frequently is, with things

Yes, it reminds me of Sim City 2000's arcologies, which, as I'm sure anyone who loved that game as much as I did would agree, is the sort of thing dreams are made of (I'll pass on the rocket boosters though). It's really unfortunate for me

Hah, they must use the same vendor. Strangely enough I haven't had that problem myself the few times I've called, but one of the nice things about FiOS is that you don't need to call them for many common tasks.

It's not really clear that this is actually a new startup, but regardless of that, investing in Las Vegas real estate strikes me as an extremely bold move.

I've been fortunate enough to be a FiOS customer for awhile, so I haven't had the pleasure of dealing with Comcast lately, but until I moved into this building I'd used them all over the east coast. They had a particularly galling bug in th

FWIW, I have been on two flights today and on neither of them did the gate agent check my ID. This tactic would've worked fine.

You could be right. It's been a long time since I read it but I recall thinking, when I finished it, that I was glad for the twist ending because it gave much needed weight to the rest of the story. This might just be due to the fact that I

This might be a minority opinion, but even as a huge sci-fi fan, I'm not sure the story holds up once you know the ending. I'm sure I'll end up seeing it anyway though.

This is true to some extent or another for almost all of the major news sites. Even if they just have comments, they're aren't offering them out of the goodness of their hearts, it's because it's a cheap way to boost impressions, sometimes

No problem. I believe mine is a late 2010 model. It has the 1.4 GHz Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of RAM. It's 11'' rather than 13''. Performance is generally excellent and it's probably the best computer I've ever owned in terms of outright utility

Wow, I am impressed with how responsive that is. I'm on an Air and I generally don't have good experiences with this sort of thing.

The X-37 (or whatever it ends up being called in the future) likely could snatch them right out of orbit without harming anything. I have no idea if it would be worth the expense, but that sort of capability is almost certainly a goal of th

Are you joking about the matching contributions to a retirement account part? If not I would be really curious to see how that works in that context. Not that I'm expecting a textbook on the subject or anything.

This is something I've been wondering about as I've noticed increasingly high stakes items being reviewed on sites like Yelp. For example, I'm trying to figure out where I want to move next and it's commonplace for high rise apartment build

I am not sure that I'm 100% against this idea, but the situation in California makes me really hesitant about direct democracy of that form. I'd like to think we could implement something like it that incorporates lessons learned, but I'm n

Obviously since you posted this 21 minutes ago I haven't exactly had the time to get into it seriously, but reading that inspired me to check out Learned Optimism and just reading the first chapter it speaks to my personal struggle. Thanks.

It really doesn't matter if it's a myth if you feel like that. The pressures that you can feel when depressed and surrounded by family create bad situations that might result in an attempt later, once everyone is gone, or simply a really sa

This question is kind of apropos of nothing, but I noticed that one of the example documents [1] has a weird markup structure, lacking tags like HEAD, BODY, etc. Is this just one of those weird accidental things or is this an intentional te

I didn't anticipate how much I would come to prefer my DX to everything else. I do wish that screensaver (that isn't quite the right term) was at least somewhat customizable though.
