Well. It is nice that is shows success rate of other people, and it's quite sad, that most of questions really are trivial (helvetica vs. times new roman), those with > 90%, and some are basically undecidable (50% -- that is as good as

Strange, for me, it's very easy, which doesn't seem to fall in your range. What's wrong? Throw out working solution after 25 years of development, with all the codebase and everything, that makes perfect sense, of course. You are arguing wi

It looks more like a lottery than a "business".

Hm, I think, that prompt should give you some hint of the environment and context in which the command you are typing will run. Username, working path, machine hostname, at least, of course (well, it isn't really necessary to show hostname,

There are tons of vte based terminals. Terminal of xfce, for example, which is quite "lightweight".

Fail, fail. Nothing there explains what Disqus is, or is supposed to be, it very rudely suggets me that I should twitter about it (before I really saw anything and have any idea what Disqus is), and then it doesn't even bother to tell me th

Well, I would just tell them not to do it, because the screen gets dirty and you have to either clean it all the time, or you can't see anything on it. It's not rude to say something like "Well, I'm sorry, but please, don't touch the screen

Couldn't you just ask "would you agree"? Mabye it's confusing because you are making statement like if you were going to ask "would you agree", but then ask a question expecting opposite answer (if you were going to agree, you have to say "

Huh. By doing this, you are making an enviroment which is exactly the opposite of what people expect from a coffee shop. Would you like to sit by a table with display counting remaining time to stay? I wouldn't stay there any longer than I

I wouldn't like to spend few hours in a packed shop, would you?

And what does the market share bring you? Have Ubuntu and Canonical got large userbase willing to pay for a support and further development (like redhat), or have they attracted people willing and able to contribute someting (like debian)?

Yeah, the headline is really stupid. 30% improvement… of… something.

And she hardly adds any argument or anything, it's just like "don't touch our brave hero Negroponte, because some of his achievements, completely irrelevant to the software stack and its critisism, which is the discussed problem". (Plus I'm

Do I miss something? That example is like three times longer than an equivalent Makefile would needed to be, and I need to know Python, obviously. For a trivial project, I guess that Make would be easier to use, and for something more compl

Well, free municipal wifi network of Praha 9 blocks 4chan too (so I can't see the page either). :-)

That's quite funny on a site mostly dealing with startups, where typical company is also not older than "a few years at most". Also, I really don't understand why this should be a job for some _manager_, who doesn't even need to ever see th

I don't understand it. There are some "factoids" floating around, and many gauges and pie charts and diagrams. But nowhere it is explained what does they mean. Pie chart with HTML part, what does it tell about your HTML skills? That they ar

Important difference among "Some N of something" and "Somethings" is that I can see, without looking at the link, that it's a "Some N of something" type article, which are mostly crap (I don't know, but I didn't see any interesting article

I like it. I would only appreciate to be able to choose another city based on its geographic distance (something like "show a small list of five other cities nearest to the current one"). They might be more relevant for me at the moment.

Well, that's what the BSA director said. The article says almost nothing about the actual proposal. So we have to read it at EC pages here (link is not included in the article, of course). http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/rights/cons_acquis_e

I have already heard that it's in fact good that drugs have so many negative effects, because otherwise almost everyone would use them. But author of the idea wasn't able to explain why would it matter, if there were no negative effects. Be

No, it becomes chaotic and unusable when I have more screen windows and switch among them :-) I would not complain, if I knew such an easy way to make it work, really. :-)

Sure, but that's only a poor substitute. I can't just press shift + pg [up,down] or drag scrollbar in the terminal emulator or use mouse wheel.
