Thank you for your feedback! We went with only 64 bit OSs to: 1) limit the number of choices available to the customer (simplify choices -- make it easier to decide) 2) lower the overhead of managing OS templates. We've included a kernel in

I started out with textmate way back when. I actually started using NetBeans in hope that it would have decent support for Actionscript 3. I happened to find out about the Rails support later on & was very happy I did. Here's some of th

I make no qualitative judgement. I only state that the article says there is a plugin available and posit that it is an interesting development that Microsoft is putting resources into a competing browser. The details of the implementation

To be certain, lots of conjecture on my part. I just found it very interesting that Microsoft is essentially taking on the h264 licensing fees for Firefox by releasing a h264 plugin for the browser. (I'm assuming that MS will be footing the

Article states that Microsoft already has a h264 plugin for Firefox. I imagine MS will probably do the same for Chrome. They have big vested interest in ensuring that their DRM video will be ubiquitous. I imagine their licensing fees to co

I'm supposing that these are already in libcrack. Anyone know for certain? Anyone have experiences integrating libcrack into their web app? I hesitate to integrate it because it would cause potential clients to quit the signup. Alternativel

Lots of good advice, but I'd take the "X is crap" stuff & chalk it up to opinion. Like most other things in coding, the right tool for the job will vary from person to person. Rails is probably not the best way to learn programming, but

Fair enough. I was pretty fast and loose. Thanks for the correction. My magic vars/operators mix & match was inaccurate, but still appropriate; the point still remains, overloading operators seems risky for long term maintenance if it's

It's not that I'm not accustomed to them or don't know how to use them. It's that I believe they are the embodiment of bad coding practices. They are esoteric shortcuts that make code easy to write and much harder to maintain. They are here

Maybe I just don't 'get it;' to me, this is that dark underbelly of Ruby's Perlness oozing out. Magic operators are one of Perl's worst features & now we can make them even worse in Ruby by creating our own set of unmaintainable overloa

Seems to me that Ruby modules affect the same outcome as an interface without all the overhead. Just include the module & you've got the desired behaviors and data types without all the fuss. You get exactly the same benefits as you wou

I don't disagree with the premise that memory management requires more work; however, the tools and utilities that Apple now provides to hunt down memory issues makes it more tedious than difficult.

This is interesting because it was NetBeans' Ruby and Rails support that led me to try it out in the first place. I could take this further, but it's not really germane; I think I wasn't very tactful in expressing my idea in my original pos

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to change anyone's mind about TextMate; it does just what a bunch of people want it to. That's awesome! I used it for quite a while. Heck, I still use it for simple editing. Personally, once I tried an IDE

I think it's more that the audience for a TextMate type editor is extremely small. On one side, you've got all the IDEs, like NetBeans, IntelliJ & Eclipse (not to mention XCode) that go far beyond TextMate, really making the cost of Tex

+1 Yeah, where else can you develop for an API whose main features go from brand-new to unsupported in less than 12 months? (Not just deprecated, but completely unsupported...) Developing for Facebook essentially soured me to any social API
