   This is what all you "designers" get for insisting on setting fonts and colors and whatnot. Now you have a Web where you have gotten everyone to force their tiny sans serif fonts and bright white backgrounds down my throat, but one Web sit

   Unlike other commenters I actually do see some useful results from this study. At what cost though? I can understand the argument for animal testing but something seems just that little extra bit off; when you're trying to study depressio

    I believe URLs are limited to 1000 or 1024 bytes, or are in practice on some browsers (probably IE of course), and are either limited to 7-bit ASCII for strict compliance or the character encoding is just undefined. It's been a while since

    I thought of setting up offlineimap -- I'm a huge Gnus fan -- but more so I don't have nnml hierarchies only accessible from only one machine. How do you handle Gnus's grotesque Maildir support though? I'm given to understand it doesn't s

    I upvoted this mainly because of reason 7. The joy of side projects particularly contrasted with feature lists in the day job really struck home, having just recently finally launched a side project ( http://lessonslearnedby.us/ ) with a f

    Reminds me of the montage of Jamal's writing in Finding Forrester . I saw it commented on in a few places as an obvious attempt to imply such sublime writing as the writers couldn't actually write.

    As someone with C, C++, and Java experience, but no Objective C, I started reading this article with interest. But it lost a lot of credibility with me when he started complaining about Java strings not being null-terminated. Also it soun

    1. Release the source code instead. Everyone will be better off. 2. If you do #1 the relevant distributions will package the app for you. 3. Valid point. 4. He says Emacs but doesn't specify XEmacs, so, off with his head!
