FYI, i have used Aurora/DevEdition almost exclusively (outside of testing) on at least a dozen different Windows and OS X machines ever since the Aurora channel was created and i have never once had a serious problem.…
I am not a scientist but i don't think hydrogen occupies every single point in space everywhere in the universe Anyway, if 5 in 1000 (as your own link states, these numbers are inherently difficult to quantify — but…

How are you going to cite a study disproving the inherently subjective and hyperbolic definition of 'everywhere'? There is literally nothing in the universe that is 'everywhere'. Can you link an academic paper…
Being trans is not a 'radical subculture'
I agree with you. I work in software development and have followed Mozilla's bug tracker for over 5 years, and i STILL don't really understand how to use Bugzilla. On the dozen or two occasions that i've filed a ticket,…
I was really really into the GameShark during the PSX days. The original one was nice, but the best thing was the GameShark Pro, which allowed you to (amongst other things) generate your own codes via a rudimentary hex…
I have always felt that this is an issue, as i have personally had many problems when interpreting road signage. For example, i once pissed off some builders by following a truck into their work zone (they were working…

I have a DeathAdder. The mouse itself (the hardware) is great. However, the software (the thing that really makes the mouse functional and configurable, which is what i thought i was paying for) is one of the most…
If you had simply decried the site's 'sexism' i would not have taken issue with your post. What you'd said was that it was an 'insane double standard'. The definition of a double-standard is 'the application of…
Try being a woman on the Internet — anywhere on the Internet, not this one idiot site — and then talk about insane double-standards. When every other online interaction involves at least a few men commenting on your…
You don't think it's offensive that sexual acts traditionally associated with women are considered inherently derogatory?
In ~/.ssh/config there is a directive called LocalCommand that you can use to do an rsync (or anything else you want) just prior to making the connection. This way you can have it automatically update remote hosts with…

This looks fairly promising, but it's not there yet. For example, try drawing a capital sigma ( Σ ); if you don't get your top and bottom bars perfectly parallel there's a strong chance you'll get gibberish back. Or try…

Brilliant. Good luck :)
I noted that the article mentions that there is a lot that is 'coming soon', so maybe this is all in the works and i'm being redundant but: I have to say that i'm not super impressed with how the profiles are set up. I…
Unrelated to anything but: Your terminal colours seem a bit brighter than the standard ones in Snow Leopard. Are Terminal's colour capabilities improved in Lion, or are you using that SIMBL plug-in, or...?

First of all i don't think Apple has done that bad with backwards-compatibility. The jump from OS 9 to OS X was extremely easy thanks to Classic and Carbon support, and then the jump from PPC to Intel was easy because…
My problems with VLC go beyond the interface, but its hideous UI is a major reason why i don't use it (i'm on OS X). I have seen many many people online try to work around this problem, at least aesthetically, by…
I guess the first thing to do is to actually care about it to begin with. I have tried submitting suggestions for improving UIs (and even more trivial bug reports like some element is not centred properly or a text box…
