Totally the opposite on how is my country (Chile). Here it's illegal to sell locked phones.

I prefer sans-serif too. The only downside is the difficulty to distinguish "I" (capital i) from "l" (lowercase L) on most sans fonts.

Shell -> Perl

That's what I usually do when my shell scripts get out of hand.

That reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4OV2UofPFg

I hate this panning mode in the "opposite direction" and with velocity. I prefer to drag the image.

I think totally the opposite. Working in group most of the time degenerates into procrastination. Also I find a lot harder to concentrate into problem solving when someone is talking to me.

That's what I've always done. Sometimes I even rewrite the code when I'm typing a part that I can optimize.

I think this is important: "JFS: TRIM support". This just added another choice of filesystem for SSD drives.

In my case the interactive performance when using "ondemand" is highly noticeable when gaming or while using some apps like Firefox. It seems to be a known problem [1] with GPU intensive tasks.

One popular game bug in the Quake series was "strafe jumping" [1]. It became a canonical movement technique that got ported into other games.

I'd rather take Lua as "The new Basic", since it has a syntax closer to Basic, and it's a simpler language.

I don't do it. I've always seen people doing that.

I made this some time ago: https://gist.github.com/3747038

It's my attempt to port the "koehler" vim scheme into Sublime text. Might be incomplete, but at least looks similar.

Opening it with Firefox shows just a message: "Sorry! This is a Chrome experiment". First time I see a Chrome experiment refusing to run out of chrome, usually most of them work fine on Firefox.

The hardest part of configuring Sublime Text is the color scheme. It's written in some apple XML format that's hard to edit by hand.

Apps posting tweets without consent of the account owner is a violation of the Twitter rules [1]

  Get users' permission before sending Tweets or other messages on their behalf. A user authenticating through your application does not constitute consent to send a message.

Why everyone has to compare to the iPhone? like it were a model to follow. It's like the Apple fans feel butt-hurt when someone it's stealing their hype. You can't do more than superficial comparisons, they're totally different experiences and app ecosystems.

Nothing wrong. It's just not hype-worthy because it doesn't contain the words Apple/Chrome/iOS. So most people will just ignore this.

No one else noticed that this doesn't work on Firefox?

  Sorry, this app needs advanced web audio. Your browser doesn't support it. Try the latest version of Chrome

You can extract deb's with 'ar vx file.deb' and then manually install, but I guess they want to test only on debian based compatible distros.

Being an Ubuntu user is required? or can be run on any other distro?

Looks like it's gonna be a closed beta.

I used to love C++, until I found D. The latter is pretty much how C++ should have been in the first place.

What's wrong with using the arrow keys?

This. The word "favourite" was usually used interchangeably as "bookmark" in browsers. A concept of something you want to save and read later.

I stopped reading at "progress is faster if you are born with the right skills".

Firefox does have an official 64 bit release for Linux since a while:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/16.0.1/linux-x86_64/

You can do that putting this on the firefox URL:

chrome://browser/content/browser.xul

Wasn't D the replacement of C++?
