That would be awesome . If only those with the dough felt the same way... Granted, there are hurdles -- concern for theft, infrastructure for loss/repair/upgrades, etc. But it would be incredibly exciting nonetheless.

With DoubleCommand, you can bind the right "Enter" key to be Control. (On my MBP at least... I assume macbooks are the same)

No, you can win e-mail tetris without cheating. You must decide for yourself which action your e-mails require: Trash, Defer, or Action. GTD gets this right. If you don't make those decisions as e-mail enters your box, you're effectively

That's true; Ruby and Python would both be worth learning. I'd push you toward Python, though, mainly because it has more traction outside of web development too (e.g. system administration, etc).

I enjoy ragging on Windows as much as the next guy, but this post reminded me how much of an accomplishment Windows really is. Few software projects need to deal with such a huge range of compatibility issues between hardware and software d

Counterargument: Obtaining the usually-excellent reliability and stability that Google usually offers would be time-consuming, difficult, and a distraction. Sure I could set up a server with Postfix et al, but there's no way I'd be more rel

The general idea is worthwhile, but not to the extreme the author suggests: > Maintainability isn't a factor. Best practices don't > matter. Design patterns don't matter. All that matters > is getting things done.

What would it take to create a free codec rivaling H.264? Is it a patent issue or a technological one?

YouTube uses a Flash embed to stream videos from their servers. It's their own proprietary player SWF, but anyone could theoretically create something similar. Flash (the software) contains built-in templates for such a thing. But this requ

I once used Spirit successfully, even though at the time I was not as well-versed in C++ as I should have been. I tend to like boost, because it makes a lot of things easy that would otherwise be difficult and/or time-consuming to write in

That's not supposed to be surprising, is it? We're comparing an OS from circa 2001 with an OS from 2009, the latter with substantial new graphics and inevitable bloat associated with maintaining backward compatibility. It'd be near impossib
