Viewing profile — Magneus

Re: OKCupid, I left the feature on. I find that it provides some valuable intel. Sometimes, I'll find an unlikely candidate checking my profile out suspiciously often. It sometimes…

Firefox (stuff I haven't seen on here yet): * Ubiquity * Fox to Phone

How about for headlines and URLs?

What plan is that, by the way? I'm on the lowest Even More Plus with 500 minutes, unlimited text, unlimited data, and it runs me $60.

Wow. This combined with the 40K seed money offered by the Chilean government makes Chile more appealing than ever. Great climate, government that appreciates the importance of free…

You state that you're building a tile based game without canvas/svg already, but is it a requirement to not use either canvas or svg? If a canvas-based library is acceptable, I rec…

I haven't been following this very closely, but Guy Romain has mentioned a language called "RenderScript" in a presentation or two. RenderScript, to my understanding, is a sort of …

Call me an elitist asshole, but I find your tone infuriating. Clean it up. Learn some respect.

Call me crazy, but I think he's jumping to conclusions. There's no way Android grew that fast. Check out this recent report from Nielsen: http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/online…

Consider a tiling window manager if you're a Linux user. Doubly so if you're a console jock. I find it's a great way to cut down on mousing time.

I agree. Unless he's hungry to learn, it's a big leap and will distract him from the development process. If you're looking for a hosted solution that's a step up from a bargain-bi…

Linode for me.

Not the first launch at $60. Warcraft 3 was also like this. I imagine there are also other titles at the same price point.

Seconded. Great site. I haven't used any other dating sites, so I have no proper basis for comparison, but I've been very satisfied with the site, from matching system, search opti…

This group is JUST starting right now. We're on week one: http://universityofreddit.com/v2/class.php?id=57

Check out the laptop offerings from System76. They offer two netbooks and a 14" 'ultrathin' model. http://www.system76.com/index.php?cPath=28

I'm not expert here, but I believe the answer is: depends on how many extensions Apple decides to make. I imagine that there will continue to be a significant feature deficit for q…

Fun demo. Not really surprising, of course. Anyone know when the Pixel Qi DIY kits will hit? Last I heard it was "end of Q2..."

In Linux, there's tons of tiling window managers that automate this process. It looks like there are some projects on Windows that emulate this: http://superuser.com/questions/1034…

Sadly, no. I was at this conference, but I missed this. Update: This link from the video explains it all. http://zennie2005.blogspot.com/2010/05/yahoos-ceo-carol-bart... To set the…

I signed up to volunteer. They haven't confirmed me yet. I'll let you know when they do.

Even that link? I haven't tried changing my user agent, but I'm on Ubuntu right now and the linked "Google Earth Server Test" doesn't work for me. Of course, that's not quite the s…

These numbers are a few months old, but they may help you make your decision: http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/02/25/6-ways-iphone-and-and...

Disclaimer: Personally, I only use my Mac for iPhone dev. I think it's inferior to Linux apart from media, phone sync, gaming, as you allude to. I am underwhelmed with the interfac…

If you already use Vim or Emacs, I don't think you'll be blown away by TextMate. If you're coming from a lesser editor, definitely jump on it. If you're missing a package manager, …
