I suggested that link because it discusses what may work for the parent to get what he needs right now, instead of speculating a 'kindle version might be coming soon.' The formats may have evolved, but I don't see a mobi or an epub version

I know how to achieve it, (File > New view into file), it's just not as natural as jedit (You just open different views and the current open file defaults to opening in the new view too). If there's a way to set this up in ST2, please f

I haven't used it on a mac, but on Linux and Windows it looks pretty sweet. Here's what it looks like on mine right now (looks same on windows and linux): That's some python code with Consolas, Anti-aliasing set to 'Standard', and fractiona

I used Sublime Text 2 on all my machines for over a month for Python and C. It was great for about 90% of the things. But I ended up going back to jedit because of: - The way split views are handled for: a. The same file in multiple views.

I always genuinely care and end up looking like a smug asshole most of the time but there are a few times when someone does seem to feel really good that I care. You should see how much meat they pack on my subs at the local sub place. ;)

I would think that should be highly irrelevant. If they have invested in Spotify, then they are just securing their place in case Spotify (or Spotify-like services) displace the old model. It doesn't mean that is going to make any differenc

It will be awesome when Spotify (or others) starts signing up bands as a "record label" itself, similar to Netflix produced shows. (Maybe they already do this?) Maybe that will attract more bands to directly do business with them.

Awesome! Can someone comment on how probable it would be to port it to linux (and windows)?

I think the current gmail search is a lot better than what it was a few months ago. I still wish they did page numbers for search results or something like that. (I'm aware of the manually editing the url hack, but it's not the same experie

Perfect. Given Venus's gravity is 0.904g, we could work something out in a few years.

Valid point about the option of a slim xfce-based install being available. I disagree about the 'normal people' point. 'Normal people' are less likely to download Debian as opposed to Mint or Ubuntu. If they venture into Debian territory, t

While the inverse of that (light text on dark) makes for a terrible reading experience, yet so many bloggers/sites do it. (Funny observation: I seem to prefer dark themes for coding Python, Ruby, C and light ones for Java)

Your point is understandable, but distribution restricted to the size of a CD is a major feature. It fits right in with the linux way of supporting really old hardware. It's not about the newest and shiniest hardware. Debian is known to be

I think trains/metro rails are just outright much more cost effective, given it's not personal transport.

You can download an OEM windows disk or call up your Hardware manufacturer for it if it wasn't provided with the computer (I'm not a 100% sure on this.) As long as your laptop shipped with windows you can install either 32 bit or 64 bit of

Which makes you wonder, would windows' image be better off if they implemented some sort of quality control on what is distributed? In the end when some bloatware crashes or slows the pc down, people blame windows. I know that that's window

by powerslave12r 14y ago
I don't see the problem. They are giving you the option of cheap hardware. A clean install fixes the bloatware issue. (Unless I'm overlooking that the hardware drivers are dependent on the bloatware for Acer laptops.) This is awesome for st
