Something similar has been in IDEs. Quanta+ had a good popup PHP reference... Aptana/Eclipse has PHPdocumentor in it, which lets you annotate your functions and such so information pops in when you type in a function. If I wanted to get m

When there's a chance of serious competition they will act. Years ago in our spot in rural California Sierra Nevada foothills we were patiently waiting for DSL... Every time we called AT&T they said DSL was a year or two away. Accordi

Linux? Get one with an Intel or nVidia graphics chipset (if you want graphics speed, go nVidia) avoid ati/radeon - its support on Linux has been touchy, the drivers have a long history of installation issues. if you want speed again i5 is

Go southward and look for lodging in San Mateo or farther south. Make sure it's near a commute channel (bus or rail) the neighborhoods are nice and the fees are more down to earth.

while it may be a point that they may have to rewrite it down the road, the advantage is they retain the logic so they don't have to start again from square one with a new vendor trying to get their system to work. Also they could opensourc

I've done similar when working for a non-profit. Having the tech guys on campus helps drive the development you get access to the people who work with the data as well as updates on requirements of what is needed (there's always something p

Software center... never use it, in fact the way it had mixed the non-installed stuff with installed software really ticked me off (this is probably my biggest gripe with unity, wheres the menu of all the installed apps??? I don't want to s

Radio shack had a good early start, the first personal computer I saw was a TRS-80 (model 1) looked nice and the software was cool (think I saw backgammon as the first program) the monitor was cheesy though, literally a cheap BW TV in a som

I always thought tl;dr was some sort of utf 8 encoded symbol or something that didn't come across on my browser.

If you were like me back in the 80s on a PET you did that and then moved up to more complex randomness with other graphic symbols like the four corner curves or bends. I think they had that line in one issue of Creative Computing with a bu

In the stock market there are no sanity checks, else the whole thing would grind to a halt. :-)

More like Western Micro. I agree with the comments, $959 a month doesn't seem like "low income" rent to me either.

Heh, my programmer view is CSS smells cause it's CSS. with aids you can work on fixing the syntax to be more logical, but it could have been done much better in the first place.

Programmer? Uh.. no. I worked for 25 years in house techie/programmer for a child development agency. I had discovered that the best leaders are the ones who know how to lead, set the course and work with all the groups. From having a goo

Printer drivers seem to be the main one for me, I have a canon network inkjet all-in-one and a xerox 8560. The Canon I finally located the Linux network print and scan drivers finally on a UK or AU Canon site (which had an easy to fix glit

Monsanto should be sued for polluting the natural bio-system and be forced to clean up their mess. Soon the fossil fuel companies will be suing hospitals from profiteering from their air contributions.

There is assembly language, which is the root to all higher level languages... but I would not recommend anyone start there unless they are using a micro-controller or other tiny platform. If you aren't too savvy on computer concepts I wou

How about these companies told to start offering training programs? The US has no shortage of eager workers, some quite creative (which is good for such jobs). The crux of this is companies are devaluing people in general, and don't really

I think it looks promising - it's not a panacea, there are things SQL works better for and there are things I can see Mongodb would really rock with. With anything there are gotchas so you have to live and learn with em. When I was research

OK, I use classic UI in gnome 3, it's pretty thin, and with the advanced settings app you can adjust things even more. XFCE is good but never got into it though.

Get the right monitor or set the resolution down - Linux just looks too small on a large hi-res monitor of today. I went to the electronic surplus place and got a couple squarish 19" LCD monitors (2x1280 x 1024) so much easier on the eyes.
