This is probably another unapproved translation as zed said his book was meant for teaching python and we need substantial changes for ruby. The other book basically translated the code from python to ruby while keeping much of the text the

I guess I am not the target audience either, but gnome2 remains my favorite desktop environment and once that is dropped from distros I will go another route, perhaps xfce but it does indeed have many shortcomings.

For something as obvious as for gaming (where in the video other games have people running around while these guys are hovering around a static environment), I expect something that at least looks like a game, hell id go for simple animatio

I try to make my websites work in ie6 but with minimal work, I'll let IE6 users use it but it will be a degraded experience and most of my website for normal people actually haven't seen such high IE6 usage as 6.5%.

Maybe give a bit more of a description because I remember something similar but can't quite put it together with your description.

To be honest I expect a chromebook to be priced similar or at the very least $200 for me to be competitive with a more powerful/portable netbook. His expectations aren't off, the manufacturing limitations just don't meet them.

And that trailing slash is exactly how it didn't get caught by the dupe filter.

To be honest the emails he got could have easily annoyed him and seem to have come from someone who believes he is not interrupting into someones time (especially after the first response which is reasonable for someone without "citable" cr

This isn't really anything to do with seo but make your front page static and move the rest (all the wedding pictures) to another page with a limit (maybe 5 or 10 a page). I thought your site was broken but it was just loading so much. That

That is my problem right now, I won't buy an android until cyanogen runs on it and it is easily rooted, so when my droid first gen finally broke I actually ended up buying an iphone as all the comparative weren't listed as meeting my requir

Because incoming still takes up bandwidth so it makes sense to count it is such. I however do remember it being free at some point in time.

That is the way I use it, much better than the new one that requires javascript to do everything.

Are you using linux, linux seems like a secondhand citizen with regards to firefox and that is where I see all my problems. I don't know if crashing is the right word but it does become completely unresponsive often enough that it is notice

I try every new firefox release for at least a week, and to be honest I haven't seen an advantage of using it since chrome came out. It is just way too slow[1], it may have better extensions better adblocking and a regular ui but it just ca

I've activated without installing anything with every broadband provider I have had as well and most of the time it is quite easy. Cable seems to be activated just by using their modem the last few times and qwest dsl can be activated by a

I haven't had any trouble with AUR any time I've used it, most of the time a simple makepkg -s does the trick, but maybe it is just similar enough to slackbuilds for me not to mind. To be honest though Arch moves too fast for me and there a

You can't really pirate cs anymore than you can pirate tf2, css also runs on the same engine as tf2 so any of the kids that can get their hands on source can get their hands on tf2 computerwise.

You would be surprised by the amount of cheaters with multiple accounts in source games even though they weren't free.

It depends on the game, play competitive counterstrike and everyone is a dick (source or 1.6)

If you weren't around for the last discussion and haven't figured it out by the web client: dropbox encrypts and decrypts your data on their servers which inherently provides anyone with access to them and their encryption decryption method

I do this (also on prgmr) and manage backups with tarsnap+cron which with all my small repos costs nearly nothing even if I don't clean up old tarsnap archives.

So much for "There are no chargebacks on BitCoin" Well this is trading through an intermediary, you can't really expect it to work that way otherwise something like this would have a lot more incentive for wrongdoers. If you really want t

I'm pretty sure that fee is only for managed servers (meaning you are paying $100 for full support) and isn't charged just for your instance usage.

It depends on what your using the vps for, I have a vps with prgmr and it really isn't that much of a hassle, even starting fresh with debian is a 5 minute or less process with the centos recovery.

You would think so but linode is pretty much still the exception with quality vps hosting. The first year I used linode 2007 there was an insane amount of upgrades, maybe someday soon they will pass more of this on to us but I'm glad they a
