I'm using Teksavvy as well, but they're using Bell's ADSL on a really noisy line. I can't get cable from Teksavvy in my building.

I got a kick out of this: "You are probably reading it in an Info hypertext browser, such as the Info mode of Emacs. You might alternatively be reading it TeX-formatted on your screen or printer, though that would be silly."

I don't see The Matrix. I wonder if it was left out because it's on outlier (too green/yellow).

This glosses over some important syntactic differences. For instance, a semicolon is used differently in C than it is in Pascal. In C, it's a terminator; in Pascal, it's a separator.

I disagree on your W5*0 point. I have a W510, and it constantly kernel panics. Thermal management is non-existent by default on Ubuntu 12.04, and the trackpad and wifi are extremely flaky.

Well, at least the FUD is an attempt to get people to switch from Linux to Linux, rather than Linux to Windows. Remember the "Get The Facts" campaign?

Minor rant: "</end major rant>" made me cringe. I suggest "<major-rant>blah blah blah</major-rant>" instead. :p

A point is not necessarily 1/72 inches. TeX, for example, uses 1/72.27 by default. See http://www.oberonplace.com/dtp/fonts/point.htm for details on the different definitions of points. Even once you've settled on a definition of point as

Exactly: don't tackle remotes until you've learned the fundamentals of git, otherwise you'll be stuck with a big brain twister. If you start dealing with remotes right off the bat, like I initially did, you'll find git very frustrating and

It's all bullshit IMO. My team's morning scrums have devolved into 15 minute meetings with each member of the team basically saying "I'm doing the same thing I was yesterday; piss off". I prefer Zed Shaw's methodology: http://programming-m

Rather than these n00b tutorials, I recommend reading "Pro Git" by Scott Chacon, available for free here: http://git-scm.com/book If you prefer a video, try "Getting Git" by Scott Chacon: http://vimeo.com/14629850 Coming from a Subversi

I hadn't heard of Rimbaud's letter until now. It's damn crafty! Thanks. :)

If you were hiring an editor, rather than a writer, asking about the Oxford comma is perfectly reasonable.

Damn... looks like Ontario isn't on the tour list. I suppose Cleveland isn't all that far though.

There's a language around my hometown that only about 250 people speak: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwakwala The community is doing a great job at keeping their language alive. A few of my friends took Kwak'wala classes in middle/high sc

One exception to the diatonic norm in pop music is Radiohead's "Just", which uses an octatonic scale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_qMagfZtv8 (ya, I consider Radiohead "pop music")

I wrote a CGI in C around 2005. The C code produced only a small about of XML. All the presentation layers were done using client-side XSLT, CSS, and a bit of javascript. The result was very portable and efficient: we had to support serving

This is why I think the time limit on such tests should be eliminated. For many well-paying occupations, correctness is far more important than speed.
