If what you want from a Mac is for it to work exactly like Windows, down to the last keyboard shortcut: stick with Windows. You seem perfect for each other.

Many of the updates have introduced bugs that, from an outsider's perspective, ought to have been obvious. If I were a gambling man, I'd bet they don't do any kind of automated testing. Add Notch's peculiar reservations about Git to that,

His ambition was to split an atom in his kitchen, not to build a nuclear facility. Nothing about this story suggests he had the ambition to get a hold of "a lot more material".

Comex and others are finding bugs, and Apple are fixing them. Not because Apple are irrational control freaks, but because the bugs they find and use to jailbreak the devices are extremely serious security holes . To not fix them would b

Pushups is a terrible exercise, for sure, since it doesn't build muscle and is prone to injury. The only reason it doesn't screw up your rotator cuff very quickly is because the resistance is so low; had it been better at building muscle (i

To facilitate continuous muscle growth you need to continuously increase the resistance over time, and you need to do so within about 8-12 repetitions per set to stimulate hypertrophy. In simple terms, you need to push your max all the time

That might have been a risk if the team were doing bench presses, but pushups is not going to build any significant amount of muscle.

Precisely, which is why it sounds like crazy talk without the context of the OOCSS method.

The problem is that you haven't specified a charset, so the browser just uses its default setting, sometimes causing problems when the default is anything other than ISO Latin-1. Fix the problem by specifying the charset in your HTML markup

Possibly so. Though if that is the case, it could be made more obvious, because OOCSS is mentioned absolutely nowhere on CSSLint.net.

I agree with the article, almost to the letter. This hole "debacle" could have been avoided if Nicole Sullivan had simply called this tool "OO-CSS check" rather than "CSSLint". Then I'd have no problem with it at all. If you like and apply

A middle ground would be to generate password suggestions, but give the user the option to change his/her own password. I used a method a few years ago to generate passwords for users on an intranet. They were free to replace them, but a po

Most of them think they have a great idea, revolutionary, really. It's not, of course, but they're too inexperienced to realize that. Often the focus of their idea is the consequences of their new fangled web service once it already exists

The Github guys just never cease to impress me. They've made development so much more enjoyable. And at any given time, you can expect them to not only do the right thing, but to do better than that. Like, releasing a great Git app for free
