I don't think it's lion to blame, I too have the 2010 air with lion and it runs just fine. Maybe spend some time with ps and find what process is eating your CPU. I'm not using fil…

We're past the point where the operating system is just about productivity. Computers are used by everyone to do a vast number of things, people live their lives with their compute…

By behavioral observation

Fair one mate.

You don't have to be so defensive, it's fine. No point in getting into a tizzy over this, I'm sure you meant the comment in the good spirit of the community. I am not new to this k…

I have read the comments here from those that like Sparrow, but the IOS app is pretty lame, none of the usual mobile mail features (push, embedded images, exchange etc) are all mis…

Other than being 2-3x more expensive than costco photo and having considerably less printing options, how is this different to simply uploading to costco/adorama etc? Costco doesn'…

I don't see this as an either/ or thing, aiming for success is fine, so is building connections and relationships on the way. I suspect that your misery had little to do with what …

* There is probably technology in the armed forces so advanced that most people do not know about it. Clearly you've never been in the military! While, of course, there are technol…

Nope, didn't hurt my feelings at all, I was trying to help you learn the ropes. My comment was really pretty clear, and easy to follow, ST doesn't have a code formatter, you know, …

Obviously you didn't actually try what you suggested, if you had you'd have found there are plugins for JSON and XML and probably a few other formats, but was hoping ST2 would have…

6502 was for wimps :) LDIR, CPIR, HL and two register set exchange FTW :)

This is the same as usenet. Back in the 80's and 90's the expectation of posting to say alt.tasteless.jokes was that it would happily scroll off into infinity. Then a million years…

Still doesn't seem to have 'correct indentation' which I would use often, especially for 'data' files like XML or JSON.

Yes, I'm grateful to Walmart for keeping the great unwashed from cluttering the isles of whole foods :)

Well first off, you're talking to a European, and while I'm sympathetic to the fear of the encroaching 'nanny state', I just don't share your solution (guns) If you want to get you…

Yes, there are probably some people that cannot figure out how to download chrome, but those people would also not likely notice any difference between chrome and the browser they …

I think DDG is best considered a search broker, it federates the queries out to other engines, like bing, or others under query syntax control, and I believe they are also crawling…

This is ridiculous. You're seriously suggesting that you're going to shoot your way to mobility :) I'm assuming that's just some macho bullshit because it's insane. What you're not…

Why would you pick one up? Why not simply download chrome. Having a cd is just going to be obsolete by the time you get home. Doesn't make any sense. If you're reading hn, you're p…

Never been to Walmart, no plans to either, why would I want to. I plan my purchases a few days in advance, know what I want and like that amazon makes it show up at my desk a coupl…

the free-food culture is so ingrained in the tech world that it would be much harder to eliminate there. free food in tech startups isn't free at all. You (as the employee) are jus…

I'd strongly advise looking at other areas than the memcache cloud service. The whole point of memcache is to be incredibly fast to prevent having to do a much heavier weight proce…

The cost has nothing to do with the product, that's determined based on other factors, like how many Mac's OSX sells. There's no straightforward relationship between price number o…
