I really wish someone would start to make enterprise software well documented. Most of the stuff I have to deal with has a truckload of marketing bullcrap and very little sane technical documentation with a total lack of community. Also mos

Excel is good at this too (2007). Edit a cell (F2) and then at the same time try open a different spreadsheet..

I open new tabs with middle click (scroll wheel click). That works too. It also works for closing tabs.

I would not be so sure at that. I see plenty of people doing that. It's mostly habit, I think. Even somewhat technically versed people do that (many of them who have been working with computers for more than 15 years).

All valid issues, but none of them blocking IMO. 1. You'd certainly have to choose the right sources for SSO. I'd say people usually trust their Google account, so that's a good start (and Google does payments, so they make sure to keep it

The most dominant reason for me not to sign up to most random services is that I'd have to manage another set of credentials. There are tools for that, but it's still a hassle (and I value my time). Just use SSO solutions like clickpass (I'

For the graph: add more data points (each quarter) and make the scale logarithmic with a linear mean overlay trend line. Also, I can only see indication of growth from that one chart. How about some more data (different charts): - What size

Adding to that, "just organizing it" has one substantial problem: people generally disagree in how to organize the world and what they see as priorities (stuff they want to find), so any one way to do this would be the wrong one for the big

"The Code Book" is great. Very good read and very insightful in the toppic.

I'm using the loud, non-labeled DAS keyboard Model S Ultimate, typing with Dvorak layout. It cost's a small fortune, but it's so worth it. I love this keyboard. http://www.daskeyboard.com/model-s-ultimate/ Mostly keep my vim key-binding m

I agree that KA is a wonderful site, but not a panacea. What I miss from the article is to present the solution for it. My girlfriend is a teacher and she tells me about her days. Generally it's like taming lions many times. Kid's don't get

Probably a few dozen. All very well packed and with excellent tie-ins to officials. Welcome to the new democracy. Not to defend MU here. Just don't think all that many people felt the harm for what they were doing. And if you ask artists, t

Only one instance is free, and only for the evaluation period (1 year I think). You can buy more / bigger instances and do as you please though.

Considering that DropBox is building on Amazon cloud storage (S3) and Google have their native storage arrays, I'd be very worried, as Google can offer storage much cheaper. If you check Google services (docs, mail), you get for just $5 -&#

Yes. Though it would be hard to just out-compute the hashes without the community noticing. Just to put it into perspective: currently the network is crunching away at 16344 TeraFLOP/s ( http://bitcoinwatch.com/ ).

Works well for me (FF4, Ubuntu). Looks awesome. Edit: OK, after a while it starts to hang and do terrible things to the responsiveness of the system.

Value source is pretty much the same as all other currencies too: people use it to exchange goods. It's actually a big game of trust, that you can use the bitcoin you get today to buy something tomorrow. As the number of people engaging in

Yes. And just to argument this, here is the relevant except of the FAQ: Q: Is SPDY a replacement for HTTP? A: No. SPDY replaces some parts of HTTP, but mostly augments it. At the highest level of the application layer, the request-response

They emphased the data with a factor of 10.000 to get the differences through, so I'd guesstimate the weight in the ballpark of a gram (0,0022 pound nugget). As for what it's good for, the article has a good example: "Now, with Goce, we can

I agree. I personally like 8 spaces, but I code in a way so others can choose their own preferences. Meaning, I use the tab character and avoid ASCII art in my source / comments. This way people can set up their tab width in their editor as

There is nothing such as a perfectly secured system. There are just less and more secured systems. The effort put in securing the system pretty much defines how much effort and ingenuity is required to penetrate it. Kind of a cat and mouse

My guess is, that it's exploiting the basic synaptic nature of the brain. The 12 numeral automatically kicks in the association with months, which in turn splits the sum to 12 x $1, or one dollar a month which seems low enough to feel at ea
