I really wish someone would start to make enterprise software well documented. Most of the stuff I have to deal with has a truckload of marketing bullcrap and very little sane tech…

Excel is good at this too (2007). Edit a cell (F2) and then at the same time try open a different spreadsheet..

Bank buys 14,962 shares of a company with a HFT system to sell them off 2.854 seconds later.

I open new tabs with middle click (scroll wheel click). That works too. It also works for closing tabs.

I would not be so sure at that. I see plenty of people doing that. It's mostly habit, I think. Even somewhat technically versed people do that (many of them who have been working w…

All valid issues, but none of them blocking IMO. 1. You'd certainly have to choose the right sources for SSO. I'd say people usually trust their Google account, so that's a good st…

The most dominant reason for me not to sign up to most random services is that I'd have to manage another set of credentials. There are tools for that, but it's still a hassle (and…

For the graph: add more data points (each quarter) and make the scale logarithmic with a linear mean overlay trend line. Also, I can only see indication of growth from that one cha…

Adding to that, "just organizing it" has one substantial problem: people generally disagree in how to organize the world and what they see as priorities (stuff they want to find), …

"The Code Book" is great. Very good read and very insightful in the toppic.

I'm using the loud, non-labeled DAS keyboard Model S Ultimate, typing with Dvorak layout. It cost's a small fortune, but it's so worth it. I love this keyboard. http://www.daskeybo…

I agree that KA is a wonderful site, but not a panacea. What I miss from the article is to present the solution for it. My girlfriend is a teacher and she tells me about her days. …

Probably a few dozen. All very well packed and with excellent tie-ins to officials. Welcome to the new democracy. Not to defend MU here. Just don't think all that many people felt …

I have been following the creators of the platform for a while. Currently they are working on Iron Sky ( http://www.ironsky.net/ ).

Only one instance is free, and only for the evaluation period (1 year I think). You can buy more / bigger instances and do as you please though.

1024x768 is dead. 1366x768 is pretty common actually on lower end laptops.

Considering that DropBox is building on Amazon cloud storage (S3) and Google have their native storage arrays, I'd be very worried, as Google can offer storage much cheaper. If you…

Yes. Though it would be hard to just out-compute the hashes without the community noticing. Just to put it into perspective: currently the network is crunching away at 16344 TeraFL…

They just announced their quarterly results: http://www.americanbankingnews.com/2011/04/27/amazon-com-inc...

Works well for me (FF4, Ubuntu). Looks awesome. Edit: OK, after a while it starts to hang and do terrible things to the responsiveness of the system.

I'm half, spent 12 years, but don't live there any more. Does that count?

Value source is pretty much the same as all other currencies too: people use it to exchange goods. It's actually a big game of trust, that you can use the bitcoin you get today to …

Yes. And just to argument this, here is the relevant except of the FAQ: Q: Is SPDY a replacement for HTTP? A: No. SPDY replaces some parts of HTTP, but mostly augments it. At the h…

That's a sad social status quo.
