Of course that is expected behaviour: tux loads multiple independant shell environments. A change in one will not affect the other. The same holds true for modifying the PATH environment variable, which is how rbenv…
Right. The author is saying he should become an entrepreneur, and that his family should be advising him to do so.
That, and I thought link rel="next" already existed… and had a more semantic meaning than pre-fetching. It (and its brother, rel="prev") are meant to inform the browser (which then hopefully informs the user, but that…
Right, but if you bought the iPad, with the intent of getting service only when you needed it, and haven't yet needed it…
I don't think I'd call these criticisms so much as _reasons_ why Chinese is so damn hard (for a Western speaker). It’s not like there's anyone around who designed the language to complain to. Anyway: Reasons 1-5 aren't…
Hm, on that point I'm not sure. In any case, Steam isn't running with any elevated privileges on my own system (I already had access enabled for assistive devices, which Steam only seems to need to actually launch its…
It actually doesn't need access to download & update games, since those are simply kept inside the user's home directory. It also doesn't need admin access to view all running processes, any user on a unix system…
When an SSD modifies a page, it has to erase & rewrite the entire block. SSDs try to avoid this by marking the block as “free” and writing data to an entirely different block, if one is available. The point here is…
Same colorscheme, too. Granted, I have my vim configured to look almost like TextMate in just this way, so maybe he's just ripping off textmate… somehow I doubt it.
No, it doesn’t really support JS. The very minimal JS support it has is implemented in an interesting fashion as well. In any case, the software on the phone never sees any javascript code, only the proxy does.…
In this I rely on my browser to filter deceptive characters in domain names. When I hover over the link you gave (or click it and see it in the address bar), it looks like…
So it is important to also check the URL in your address bar _after_ you click, as well. This trick won’t be able to fake that.
That applies to other places in Asia and the middle east (go arabic ninja, I guess?)
Rockstars are loud & noisy, maybe they get stuff done. Frequently care more about what people think about them then the quality of their work. Ninjas do the job, and nobody knows until it’s too late. I'm not seeing…
Ah ok. I didn't learn of the issue until after Theora was removed, so all I saw were the reasons why neither H.264 nor Theora were in the spec (and the impression that at least one of those had been considered for it).
I see the good ole' question-mark diamond. I see the same thing when I view-source. Changing my text encoding to latin-1 fixed the display. I'm on Chrome, amusingly enough, on OS X 10.6.
I think a while back that was under consideration, but the spec-writers gave up since they knew that no matter what codec they picked, they knew they couldn’t get all browser vendors to implement it.
Since there is no standard video codec for HTML5 playback, it sounds like your last clause, at least, is satisfied. Personally, I'll probably use H.264. Why? Because I find it preferable than flash, and if I want my web…
If you're able to afford the payments, and are otherwise financially stable, I'm not entirely sure how another 5-6 years will worsen things. Unless the economy manages to crash again in that time, and worse. Then,…
SSDs still have substantially higher sequential read speeds. The specific one they are using (the Intel X-25E) has over two or three times the sequential read speed of 2 of the fastest standard drives.…

They were testing it back then, but now it seems they are launching it to everyone. However, gotta clear caches in Safari to see it.
I don’t see it on google.com. Also Safari 4. Edit: Now that I've read further down the page, apparently I really should try it in Firefox, or thoroughly clear my Safari cache.
