I wasn't talking about the downvotes, that's to be expected. I was talking about the humorless replies :) If we all acted our IQs, all the time, the world would be a very boring pl…

Let's see how much karma I can lose in one thread. There's a difference between not thinking a joke is funny, and arguing against it as if it weren't a joke, a la tiles.

checking netcraft is left as an exercise for the reader

Erm... I forgot I was in a place where preemptively apologizing for making a joke isn't enough for people to think you're joking. I would like to point out though, that the text yo…

You're using an apple product. When did they ever claim to be secure? Your life is easier, more magical, full of glass, and very fast! Security is... a little bit of whipped cream …

Saying that you're no worse than everybody else is not the same as saying you're worth applauding. If you've only worked with phones, you might have an inflated view of what "Long …

Well, In defense of Facebook nothing about the app works well. It's not like they decided not to use C2DM, they just didn't do anything right.

I think from a programmer standpoint, I'd prefer to deal with the text directly instead of with some abstract space between characters. I see your point though, it is different. It…

"I hope once Lik­ables and Denso goes live they will be proof for the production-worthiness of the 4-pixel rhythm. I also hope that Apple will see this and per­haps recon­sider the…

I'm not a designer, so maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about. But @Aen, you sound like an idiot to me. On grids. A grid is a fantastic idea for a newspaper, or even for an iP…

If I ever have a site which posts content, or if I ever finally make a blog, the first thing I will do is turn off the comments. If you want to talk to me, you can email me, or wri…

I don't know much about either piece of software. But what made you decide to buy sizeup instead of moom? http://manytricks.com/moom/

Isn't it easier to just resize your browser window?

Yeah I've only ever dealt with Linux, that would make sense that it exists on other OSs.

Slightly unrelated, but why does everybody insist on calling it vi(m)? I have never seen a box that used vi in lieu of vim, it seems to be a historical artifact.

In the mean time, be sure to enable two-factor authentication on your account. I'll admit it's not much solace as usually the second factor uses your phone...

Thanks, it looks cool.

Since I'm wary of clicking random FB buttons, would you mind explaining what this is?

Yes, it is illegal to financially damage a company, and many crackers do exactly that. This article and most of the comments here argue about the tools. As hackers we find it hard …

I'd really like to know what happened to Ubuntu being supported by Dell a while ago. http://www.dell.com/ubuntu only lists one machine that you can buy with Ubuntu pre-installed. I…

I hadn't heard of that thank you for pointing it out. This does make things look more optimistic. I would still define it as vendor lock-in though. The iTunes binary might be avail…

> Apple is actually moving in the direction of less lock-in as far as the consumer goes. Do you expect that any non-Apple device will be able to use iCloud? Vendor Lock-in is what'…

This sounds reasonable. I had previously thought that only John Gruber belonged to that group. Is there anybody else you would categorize with him? I'm interested to see how other …

> And here’s the real death blow: iMessages will be completely free. Compared to the cost of my data plan (and the data plan that you'll have to buy to use any iOS5 device), SMS is…
