If the cost to upgrade windows is $1930 then won't an unfamiliar OS for users like mac os or linux cost more? I bet windows xp stays a pretty major OS for a couple more years unless something new and useful is needed for win7

It is actually more tiling like ratpoison/screen/emacs than xmonad.

I have a laptop with no windows key and am forced to use stumpwm because of the awkward positioning I have to use if it were bound to caps lock as alt is needed for emacs

stumpwm isn't bad though just xmonad is really nice when you have a decent modifier key available.

The author seems to be in a windows environment and would probably benefit from like etexteditor which is pretty good, the thing about windows is that it seems really hard to use vim in as I'm used to going to a directory or using autocomplete to chose files from like say

    vim ~/git/con\t

and getting

    vim ~/git/configs/

and so on. Which seems to work much better in a nix environment.

Personally I use emacs most of the time though vim does work well for quick edits.

I have tried that tea but it was way off my usual tastes, thanks though.

It is a very interesting kind of tea though.

A very nice earl grey (if you like stronger tasting teas) is earl grey bravo from adagio http://www.adagio.com/black/earl_grey_bravo.html

One thing, if they start charging for service, they better not try to go the cable way and charge for service but still air commercials on their content because most tv channels now offer free viewing of episodes of most of their shows on their website with similar viewing experience to hulu (except for linux users).

Did that vacuum coffee pot look like some sort of weird drug setup to anyone else? I had never seen something like that.

I don't really drink coffee except maybe 1 cup after dinner once a month or something along those lines but I do drink black tea which probably still does have about as much caffeine as half a cup of normal coffee. However the times that I drink tea probably differ from the times that people drink coffee, rather than drinking it in the morning I usually drink one cup around 5 o-clock.

Well neither you or he offered any useful alternatives for what hp should do and I offered reasoning on why they need to sell cheaper PCs

okay it is a picture with windows 7 logo photoshopped on the screen of a macbook pro and the title for the article is: "Windows 7 _launched_ on a macbook pro..."

I don't know why he had to bash hp at the end; of course hp is going to be making bargain PCs they need to compete with other producers, apple is about the only one that does not offer full computers for ~$500 but they are most definitely not their rival the rest of the industry is.

> You need to use comments to explain the code – Code should be able to explain itself and should be in a format that is easily readable. If you find yourself needing to explain what your code is doing then you may want to look into rewriting that code. EDIT: This is not referring to using comments (e.g. javadoc) to explain the purpose of a method/class and its inputs and outputs.

-- What? --

As you can see though there are only 8 or 9 steps for the psystar thingy and the 30 others are for the mac os install.

I was hoping that this would direct to a could not connect to database page.

Well it is a good idea from a book readers standpoint, my mother reads about 6 books a week and she and her friends and her mother-in-law all exchange books that they have bought this new feature could get them to buy an ebook reader.

This is what free software / free licenses needs, people who parade and exemplify it rather than compare it to non-free licenses or even hate on and fight against non-free software, by force.

For windows one of the better clients is foobar (I use itunes for the ipod and foobar for listening), for linux well you are kinda sol if you want a good music player (mpd with a gui client or ncmpcpp come somewhat close).

I'm assuming that these weren't the first 100 but the oldest 100 domains that have been registered even until now.

Not to skew your point because indeed bees are attracted to honey but that image search has less meaning as many honeypots have bees on them while traditionaly bears are shown as being attracted to honey and therefore honeypots.

I think this would be more like if someone else owned bitly.com and raised the price to 400,000 when everyone started using bit.ly

He clearly shows that breaking into computer systems is called hacking in the media, and explains why the term hacking is in technical terms correct in this situation.

It is not the fans that cause such a supperstition it is suffocation/hypothermia caused by continuous air flow that the superstitious think is the problem.

I think this completely missed the point of the article, it wasn't that 'makers' were unwilling or unable to work under a managers schedule it was that 'makers' are more productive when they are able to work straight through their problems for long periods of time when they have gotten into a groove.

If say you are in a groove and really starting to understand and solve a problem and then you must take an hour or two hour break to listen to a meeting on productivity you can completely lose focus and have to start thinking anew when you go back to work.

I'm waiting to see what next big advancement in web development the angled beta graphic changes into.

Hey guys its real simple to bank online first you download this iso then you burn it to a disc then you put it in your computer and make sure the bios is set to boot from cd... then you can bank online easy peasy using an new operating system.

Then when you have to actually do something with things you are used to just reboot and take out the cd until you have to bank again.

I doubt the majority of people with malware on their windows machine get past burning an iso to cd (unless they have windows 7 which has native iso burning technology).

Couldn't even read the article with all the short sections with headings, pictures and videos. Guess I'll never know hot to not suck at blogging.

Yes, and if you have a good amount to say please make a blog post (even default wordpress/blogspot/posterous layouts are fine) just so you don't have to squint at the grey text.

edit: didn't notice kyro's comment which adds better points

It isn't really time off if you are working is it? It is time spent thinking and learning and depending on your life outside work this could be accomplished without taking time off and just working less.

I don't think the dollar will collapse, if it does however many people other than the US need to be very worried.

If I'm wrong: I live in the mountains have plenty of trees an axe, a gun, and a stove.

I'm curious to what CAD programs you are using that are multi-windowing because the only one I can think of is ADAMS by MSC but that UI is a big pain in the ass.
