Did they say Balanced is better than Stripe?

They are not allowing the trailing / anyway, so what's the difference?

How is collecting data about a few thousand people big data?

Why do you say that it doesn't fit computing? Perhaps I'm not very OCD, but I don't see why you always need to see the whole window of an app to work efficiently.

But that's just me, even if you prefer tiling windows, you can have many more configurations than the split screen.

I think you are missing the point of using multiple windows. You don't need to have N number of symmetrical windows all the time. You can have e.g. a small IM window on the side and a twitter client underneath, a terminal at the bottom, etc.

Personally I even like partially overlapping windows, e.g. I can only have part of a terminal visible if I'm tailing a file, I just need to see if something comes and then I can bring it on the front.

I didn't mean to say that all windows users do this, or that users of other OSes don't do that, but based on my experience most of the people who work with just one maximized window are windows users.

I don't want to start an OS flamewar though, so I'm going to restate my guess as:

I'm guessing most of the wide screen "haters" are people who are used to the "one maximized app at the time" workflow.

I'm guessing most of the wide screen "haters" are windows users that are used to the "one maximized app at the time" workflow.

Yes but one of the resources (the dryer) has increased significantly too. And since we are both using the word "significant" instead of any real numbers we can prove either point.

Even if this is true, it is very sloppy for a company the size of Twitter.

The average age for COBOL doesn't seem right. I would expect it to be higher.

You are not a hacker and you are not gaming anything. You are just an asshole. People thinking like you are the reason we will soon need a lawyer just to cross the road.

I invite you to score yourself in the psychopathy checklist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare_Psychopathy_Checklist) and let us know how it went.

I don't get it, this is just one example.

How is this similar to getting a quote? The flightfox agent has done all the work either he/she wins or not. This is nothing like plumber quotes.

I don't, would you mind naming them?

So he can charge you.

Probably not.

Having 2 or 3 twitter accounts is not a big deal for his site. Creating 10000 vanilla accounts would be. Adding that kind of anti-spam methods is a lot of work and not easy to get right.

I'm not trying to disagree, but you are not giving him any reasons.

Same for http://xkcdexplainedexplained.tumblr.com

Maybe you should provide some citations yourself first before asking citations from others.

"Keep in mind that when ZFS was new it wasn't particularly stable either"

"ZFS isn't for the typical enthusiast/home-user"

"Nope. Never mind that ZFS assumes that harddrives works to spec, which consumer drives do not"

etc.

> FreeBSD can use GPL code, legally. They just can't release the combined work under anything but the GPL, so they choose not to.

Linux can do the same as easily, they "just" have to relicense the kernel in BSD.

Please stop trolling.

> Exactly. ZFS was deliberately released with a license designed to keep it out of the kernel.

Right, it's a big conspiracy.

Sure, give up deduplication, snapshots, raidz, self healing and more for a fuzzy cost/benefit ratio that is based on no data.

Did you even read the article?

Apple sold 156 million iOS devices in 2011 alone. Multiply that by the $20 difference and you get 3 billion dollars. I have to assume that R&D of the power adapter cost less than that.

If you just bought a Mac in order to develop for iPhone then yes, you need to create an Apple ID and jump through all the hoops. Like if I wanted to run that aptitude command I would have to download, install Ubuntu and learn unix first.

But if you already are a mac user then you already have an Apple ID. It is absurd to say that you need it to download Xcode.

I wonder if this is a temporary quick and dirty solution from Apple, pending a full-scale switch to their own maps in iOS 6.0.

calloc differs from malloc, as it clears the memory.

From the Mac OS X man page:

The calloc() function contiguously allocates enough space for count objects that are size bytes of memory each and returns a pointer to the allocated memory. The allocated memory is filled with bytes of value zero.

Is this a joke?
