Aware that I have just started to moan. An OS in so intrinsic to using a computer, I wish they'd get the basics sorted. A bit of competition is good, but the Microsoft stranglehold on the OS hasn't been healthy. I fear…
Agree ACLs great idea; in practice - buggy as hell; but I left windows, so they might have changed things. What I was getting at was, that despite the added features to each incarnation; the average Joe might not notice…
No ref to apache hece, but might be of interest: http://www.planeterlang.org/en/planet/article/Nginx_vs_Yaws_...
Have a little dig about on the web. There are benchmarks galore.
That line was pretty sick. But the article did remind me of something that happened when using google yesterday - not gmail I should add. I was searching for a news site from another country. Soon after Google was…
Why down vote this! Great point. It's a fine balance!
Contributing a good part to a whole might be better and easier. Teamwork FTW.
Why the whole stack? There is some perl adage about a good programmer being a lazy programmer. Learn the shortcuts. I think python is a pretty good one, so might be emacs. I think you generate code. Programming and…
What I meant was that my friends pc still does everything he needs and has no compulsion to upgrade to windows 7. Stability aside (which I think is a good thing) all that I can see that is different in windows is a bit…
That is simply not true. Not everyone has a laptop and a smartphone. The ipad is far more compelling than a smartphone for me, maybe not for you. I can think of a dozen innowative usas for it. If it lives up to the…
The apple tax is not ;)
Nonsense. Perhaps the codebase is more stable. But why would a friend of mine still run windovs 98? He has no compulsion to change. You have to think end user.
Why then would dvorak put s there if it were difficult? Sensibly most English punctuation is on the left hand along with the vowels on dvorak; which is easy to remember. Dvorak is very well considered. The combos: qu,…
Some of us choose to see the web the way we like it. For me I mostly abandon all the author's style's and apply my own. So the most important thing for me is a big fat h1 and ideally having the main content first. So…
The semi-colon is on the home row on qwerty.
It's very sad but true. I have become embarrassingly dreadful recently - I've been reading everything and anything. My last day job; I refused to doss about on the web. And as a webdev never suffered - if we had…
He expands on the blog post that gives just the street name example. The combination of methods are different to arrive at the desired outcome. Reminds me of programming and problem solving. Sometimes it helps to…
Think you are right there. The competition somehow get it soo wrong - they need to up their game.
You still need to guess the login name.
He was just p'eed off and rightly so. He tried civility. And aired a bug in the system. That's all.
Totally agree. The os should deal with codecs. A ubiquitous open format being preferable. And easy to install free codec bundles.
It's probably for speed and battery life. Whatever works for you.
I don't see any evidence that he is crazy.
