mrpollo··on Mozilla pulls day-old Firefox 16 from download site over security risk
thats a game changer for me friend, thanks for that, I'll try to replicate Tomorrow Night Theme [https://github.com/chriskempson/tomorrow-theme] and move on
mrpollo··on Mozilla pulls day-old Firefox 16 from download site over security risk
It has to bee a taste thing, I'm not that sold on the new firefox tools either, I've even submitted some bugs [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789675] but firebug is still deep in my work habits, I did see the post about chrome tools, I must admit it does look more advanced, anyway if I could change the font, background and foreground colors I would think of moving to chrome to do my dev work, I'm not feeling the red text on the styles attributes, a green/blue combination like firebug looks better.

Yes I just admitted chrome dev tools are better.

Yes it was unfortunate to see add-ons break when we moved from version 3.6, but it was for good, if you come back you will notice all of the add-ons updated and working, a big performance boost and more stability, and you can update effortless without breaking things, most of the add-on dev's have caught on with the release cycle, and those who didn't are in my opinion not worth it anyway, but take this with a grain of salt I mostly have Firebug, Yslow, Clear Cache and Colorzilla Color Picker installed.

I personally always have both Chrome and Firefox open, Chrome seems more responsive at times ( at least on my Macbook Pro ), but I can't get any productivity out of it (I'm a Web Dev) Firefox is a big winner for me here.

And one more thing about version numbers, chrome latest version is 22.0.1229.94

mrpollo··on Canadians may now apply for a TN visa before they reach the border crossing
Thing is I already had mine, I was just renewing, hope everyone else's experience is far better than mine
mrpollo··on Canadians may now apply for a TN visa before they reach the border crossing
I'm so jealous I was denied my TN last year because the interviewing agent didn't like my credentials, I'm a Mexican citizen and we don't have it that easy, we have to make an appointment for a paperwork review process (1 month minimum) then they schedule your for interview ( 1mknth here too ). At the time I was just married, my employer had just moved us to Chicago, and suddenly I was in Tijuana ( my hometown ) without a job or any personal belongings. Haven't applied again since I haven't had the luck of getting another employer try to hire me since they are all scared ( with justification )of the process, wish it was easier for us too, but I know we have a higher track of abusing the system (especially on immigration). Still. I would try again if opportunity came.

Edit: typo

mrpollo··on GIMP is Now a Self-Contained Native App for Mac OS X
Can't agree more, I'm a front-end developer and for years I have tried to move from OS X to Ubuntu but I always come back to OS X and one of the top reasons is the Photoshop > GIMP situation, have tried to use it but I can never get any productivity out of it, it feels like trying to use a hammer to get a screw in the wall.
mrpollo··on JQuery now runs on every second website
yeah that wouldn't be fun, but maybe we could make a browser add-on to check for the md5 checksum, not a security expert here but sounds like a solution to me

mrpollo··on The IPS LCD Revolution
I've read before that my macbook pro 15" with regular display port wont support the 27" displays, can anyone confirm this is true? even with the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A?)

mrpollo··on CERN experiments observe particle consistent with long-sought Higgs boson
Thanks for your response, I understand science is not engineering I was just not sure if I was missing some other immediate implications. The more you know.
mrpollo··on CERN experiments observe particle consistent with long-sought Higgs boson
Can someone please explain to me what would the immediate technological advancement be if this is true?, what applications would this have? (Already watched the video and read the FAQ, still a lot that is not clear to me)

mrpollo··on Dear Heroku: Quit blaming all of us when you fail. Do this instead…
not always true, as a freelance dev I tend to give options to my clients so they end up owning their hosting, something happens I'm authorized to get in and contact support, but I always make it clear to them they are responsible for it

My best guess is that in the initial 3 months they wont be doing just the page, they will be outlining the efforts in order to comply in the next 12 months with the executive order, buy any hardware they must buy, and delegate any work to any branches they might need to
