To be honest I have no reason to conclude that one is faster than the other but I would hope that given its age and girth matlab is more optimized. The main reason I say matlab is better for engineers is that its documentation is beyond ama

Sadly matlab still is much easier to use and understand for engineers, which is one of its, if not the, primary market(s).

Well at least you have the option to publish an app outside of the market, like on it's own website. Though I know it really doesn't solve the problem the fact that you aren't completely locked out of legitimate phones is nice.

It probably has something to do with good faith or perhaps even something specifically with itunes gifting system.

Just as a future heads up that jpg you have on the front page would look much better as a png (nothing mission critical or anything), other than that I'm not a fan of pop up editing but I really can't think of a way you could do it better.

http://www.sublimetext.com/ is a good editor for windows, though I think it differs from textmate in a few areas which I think is developed by one person as well

At some point in the thread RMS moves on to say that he would support it if openbsd did not link to getting the ports tree and did not host it with the rest of their things, but when you read the whole thing it seems that RMS likes to chang

Well you can write apps in HTML5 and javascript and distribute to iphone, android, and up to date browsers while coding the backend on your server to whatever you want and this is essentially what web apps should be. Edit: If you really wan

So it appears this is windows only for now according to this: http://code.google.com/chrome/apps/ Which seems so weird considering this is what will make chrome os, at least in terms of the web as a desktop sort of thing. Though they prob

I suggest reading some of the other responses higher up in that thread if you want to see what RMS thought of openbsd at the time, I say thought as I don't know if his view has changed. A quick summary is that RMS does not recommend openbsd

I'm guessing someone at the company he worked for deciding a reason for upgrading and whether or not it was a good reason I doubt it was completely forced, more probably the person who decided they needed to upgrade was found with a really

Pretty much all engineering software tends to come out to about $2k-$6k a seat which may seem quite expensive but when you get to modeling systems with a huge number of parts and such this software is invaluable and these engineering compan

The only time I really look at profiles is if I see people over and over again commenting on a large portion of the same things I comment on or like and it is just to see if they have a website or something like that. So you really don't ne

Especially for technical books where I end up flipping around pages back and forth something that the computer probably will never be able to model intuitively. Though I must say I like my kindle enough that it is readable for normal books.
