I currently like using Bootstrap for web apps and Foundation for designing web pages. Apps using Bootstrap benefit from the larger community of 3rd party controls and libraries and, why not, from a consistent UI look that I don't have to me

This is a problem, but triple booters are numerically an edge case. Rather, what file format do you use on your portable drives when you use all three operating systems on different machines in different scenarios (say Windows at work, OS

The manufacturers can't hear what you're saying over the sound of the ringing cash register. You've already bought the Windows laptop, proving that Linux support from their part wasn't that important after all. The only way I'd see this w

Node and SQL Server aren't as far from each other as you might think. In its latest mood swing, Microsoft is actually promoting Node. Look at WebMatrix, their simplified web development tool, I was surprised to see that it supports Node: h

Thank you for the fact check, I am happy to be wrong on this. It looks like things have changed since I last gave Google Voice a try. It used to be that they would just ignore you while physically outside the US, now it looks like they beha

Besides the support issues, it's worth noting that Google Voice is also impossible to use when you are (temporarily) outside of the US due to their braindead geographical IP limitation that blocks you from even accessing the site. For my vo

You don't really "learn Bootstrap". If you can do web development, you just use whatever parts of Bootstrap you want by mirroring the homepage's code. If not, it's HTML/CSS that you have to learn and then you'll find Bootstrap an good resou
