Do you guys list a series of illegal activities as public interests on Facebook or something? Google's lack of privacy boundaries are much more disconcerting than this -- "Orwellian" seems to imply one being watched, which Facebook is not d

Except most iPhone apps accepted to the store already are utter crap.

It's not like they've heard of Bing either. And, isn't that the point?

I'd definitely appreciate an option for a more traditional theme like Google's or Bing's. It would make it a lot easier to get used to.

Well that's lame.

What terms did the original video violate?

In the actual software you can (thankfully) disable the voice.

Typo in the first sentence: "Nobody could argue that the iPhone has been a revolutionary product in the cell phone industry" Surely there should be a "not" in there somewhere?

Is there anything like this for OS X?

I'm not sure how productive it is to lump yourself into social categories like this. I tested as an INTP as well, but I would venture to say that I am generally a "finisher" (at least, when it comes to my projects). When I am really drawn i

I have regretted misspending my time, however.

They support this for Vimeo now as well.

I've noticed that either using Snow Leopard or using the "Play fullscreen in QuickTime" option cause better framerates. I think it has to do with support for the <video> tag.

This sounds like a good idea — not sure how to change it without botching this page, though.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the name. Any suggestions on an alternative?

I do the same, but then realize: by doing this, I'm specializing into programming.

Code completion is a pretty big factor when writing Cocoa, though.

Perhaps, but why would a person give money to someone begging with an iPhone?

These would be useful in something like the Closure Compiler http://code.google.com/closure/compiler/ . Most seem like too much of a micro-optimization to use in real code though (especially given that they may change over time).

This would be nice, but it's not really feasible since it requires the browser vendor to implement a feature for backwards compatibility (kind of an oxymoron, isn't it?)

I'm not familiar with most Windows editors, but — at least on OS X — although blockwise selection is available in most editors, blockwise insertion like vim has is usually left out. E.g., in vim say I have a list like this that I wanted t

yi' will also work in this example.

Wow, that's a very nice app.

Sorry, maybe I used the wrong word; learning certainly requires work, but it shouldn't be treated as a chore.

Besides, a student blowing off tests and homework may not be less disciplined at all, they may just be working much harder on other things.

Oh, bullshit. It teaches "95% of kids" to hate learning because it turns it into a job.

"But that same kid might naturally pick up the drums and learn to play them for fun, because he can be really good at it." I don't think the reason a kid may pick it up is so much that "he can be really good at it", but rather because he is
