Re: OKCupid, I left the feature on. I find that it provides some valuable intel. Sometimes, I'll find an unlikely candidate checking my profile out suspiciously often. It sometimes goes somewhere, sometimes not. Well-worth the hassle of the

What plan is that, by the way? I'm on the lowest Even More Plus with 500 minutes, unlimited text, unlimited data, and it runs me $60.

Wow. This combined with the 40K seed money offered by the Chilean government makes Chile more appealing than ever. Great climate, government that appreciates the importance of free trade, similar time zone to the USA... I must just be sold!

You state that you're building a tile based game without canvas/svg already, but is it a requirement to not use either canvas or svg? If a canvas-based library is acceptable, I recommend Akihabara: http://www.kesiev.com/akihabara/

I haven't been following this very closely, but Guy Romain has mentioned a language called "RenderScript" in a presentation or two. RenderScript, to my understanding, is a sort of C-like language that the Android team intends to use to fill

Call me an elitist asshole, but I find your tone infuriating. Clean it up. Learn some respect.

Call me crazy, but I think he's jumping to conclusions. There's no way Android grew that fast. Check out this recent report from Nielsen: http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/online_mobile/iphone-vs-... It stakes Android at 9%, iPhone at 2

Consider a tiling window manager if you're a Linux user. Doubly so if you're a console jock. I find it's a great way to cut down on mousing time.

I agree. Unless he's hungry to learn, it's a big leap and will distract him from the development process. If you're looking for a hosted solution that's a step up from a bargain-bin, Dreamhost-like arrangement, consider something like Herok

Not the first launch at $60. Warcraft 3 was also like this. I imagine there are also other titles at the same price point.

Seconded. Great site. I haven't used any other dating sites, so I have no proper basis for comparison, but I've been very satisfied with the site, from matching system, search options, etc. Bottom line: I ended up meeting my current girlfri

I'm not expert here, but I believe the answer is: depends on how many extensions Apple decides to make. I imagine that there will continue to be a significant feature deficit for quite some time, particularly with regard to lower-level stuf

In Linux, there's tons of tiling window managers that automate this process. It looks like there are some projects on Windows that emulate this: http://superuser.com/questions/10347/what-tiling-window-mana...

Even that link? I haven't tried changing my user agent, but I'm on Ubuntu right now and the linked "Google Earth Server Test" doesn't work for me. Of course, that's not quite the same as Google Earth not working on Linux...

Disclaimer: Personally, I only use my Mac for iPhone dev. I think it's inferior to Linux apart from media, phone sync, gaming, as you allude to. I am underwhelmed with the interface. It's better than the Microsoft offerings, but it's not ha

If you already use Vim or Emacs, I don't think you'll be blown away by TextMate. If you're coming from a lesser editor, definitely jump on it. If you're missing a package manager, there's MacPorts. I've heard that HomeBrew is a good alterna

Linux has support for this. You can either bind a key or set up a "long press" to be right click.

Use the academic resources that are available on the web. MIT's OpenCourseWare has tons of content on there. I haven't used it for anything except SICP, but you should be able to find some relevant material: http://ocw.mit.edu/ Google rec

Given, but he could at least learn a few basic steps, enough to get around the room. He'll also get the exposure to something new, which is most important (and probably what he's looking for).
