Isn't that what indie game development is all about? That the developers actually care. At least that's a lot of why I like indie games. They often do awesome things. They usually don't just develop games to make money, but to make people h

I am kinda afraid of getting down voted, but I have used Python and I feel like I get all this and more (CPAN) when using Perl. The major difference in my opinion is that Perl gives you even more freedoms, which causes you to need some self

I think with Firefox 10, which doesn't have the extension problem when updating anymore the market share could rise again. It even has no-restart-required extensions now. This is really nice, I hope people who switched because of the change

I don't really get this stuff. Building stuff that's considered to be hard are actually the things I learned when starting out with programming. Things like a driver, a boot loader, a compiler aren't things that are harder than any other pi

So what? It's like geek, artist, human, Minnesotan or whatever. It isn't a term meant to be precise. In fact you can also program a channel on the radio or on TV. I don't think it's true that most people will consider themselves programmers

Frugalware is also nice. Used it for a while. It was an awesome alternative when Arch got really unstable for a while some time ago. I use Arch again, but for everyone out there who has some problem (or simply needs a more stable approach)
