   Mac OS X already has that, but I still would not like to see the filesystem hidden from me. It's just too valuable idea for it to go away and it takes us further away from general computing to turning our computers into appliances owned by

   Yeah, but a good portion of Mac users would never use it if it weren't UNIX under the covers and if it didn't enable them to work they way they like (from command line and vi). Without these people advocating the platform, it would be a lot

   Yeah, just like asking "What would Jesus do?" works for a lot of other people, right?

   Yeah, but then you would have to live in an Arabic country for a while, risking getting stoned to death for being too liberal, or having to be covered in table cloth all the time if you are unfortunate enough to be born a lesser creature i.

   How many developers you work with know how to search/navigate the code base effectively? How many of them know and use regular expressions when ever they can? How many of them feel really comfortable with find/xarg/(e)grep? How many of them

   I prefer Eclipse with VI plugin. You get the best of both worlds. And if I'm not happy with the vi plugin implementation, I can always continue editing in actual VIM by typing :vi in Eclipse. All, that being said, I have heavily customized

   There's your problem right there. Don't minimize windows in OS X just because that's what you are used to from decades of training on Windows. Hide the window instead (CMD+h). This way when you get back to it with CMD+Tab it magically appea

   Now if you re-write the C code to use O(n) instead of O(n^2) algorithms, you will reduce the runtime even further as compared to the Python runtime. Of course the time cost savings may not be as important or dramatic any more, since the Pyt

    Sorry, but modern desktops don't have 1 GB of RAM any more. 4 is kind of on the low end, 8 is normal, and 16 or more is higher end. Also, 2-4 cores are standard these days. 8 - 24 cores would be high end.

    I'm perfectly aware of that. I use OS X as my primary OS. My point is that who ever is saying that iCloud is all about killing Windows is missing the point completely, first because the technology not that new or amazing, and second if it d

    Seriously, UNIX guys have had this for decades. Ever heard of keeping your user directory and profile on the network server. So when you walk around the office and log into different machines your HOME "travels" with you. The network server
