Signing up to be notified of "my city" doesn't seem to work in Opera 11 or Chrome latest on Windows.

I call bullshit. If you have flash disabled or set on-demand in your browser preferences, there is no change in the overall speed or responsiveness of your device, in comparison to…

Check again - this isn't independent OLED key screens like the Optimus was/is. It's a single, plain LCD underneath some hard plastic keys with a window in the right place.

Market costs $25 to submit to, as well.

I don't know about others, but we put all our iSCSI stuff on a physically disparate network, separate NICs, separate switches. Doesn't help if someone has physical access to the da…

It's a SAN device with a ton of drive bays. We've got a few and they seem pretty speedy, haven't had an issue with them. I'm already investigating what generation we have - but I'm…

My favorite part is where they threw it all out, reset to 2003 codebase, and started from scratch basically, 18ish months before release.[1] So from a technical standpoint, Vista t…

I use tasker to emulate a feature that Apple devices have: separate volume levels for speaker and headphones (not sure why Android doesn't already have that). Set a task that runs …

This person's experience is completely the opposite of what I've seen on my own N1, though to be honest I don't watch many flash videos on my phone. Strongbad episodes and casual f…

Thank you very much, was looking for a version for ebook reading.

Love the idea. The website needs work though - it has a creepy 'designed in 1996' vibe. I signed up, why not?

The entire book is available on their website: http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ Wanted a deadtree version to read at my leisure, but at $70 I think I'll read the HTML version. EDIT: f…

It's hard to describe exactly what PyPy does, but it's more of a JIT / interpreter generator. You write a language using RPython (which is more static than regular python), and PyP…

He's teaching C there, not C++ (though that'll happen eventually). It's the first tutorial that caused me to finally "get" C.* *After the moment of clarity, I mostly thought "Oh, t…
