I agree with your points, but Ubuntu LTS releases are actually supported for 5 years, not 2 (with new LTS releases coming every two years).

I haven't tried FocusBooster, but lately I've been trying Focus@Will, which plays music mixed in ways to keep you focused. Seems to be working pretty well for me.

And have thorns that cut just as deep.

That's how it should work. Unfortunately, the U.S. healthcare system isn't really a free market. There are many laws and regulations (and insurance company imposed rules) that prevent healthy competition in the marketplace.

None of the above - Ubuntu Mono

Nice collection. Enough stuff to wander through and be certain I'll find something of interest, or discover something I was previously unaware of altogether.

According to Apple it's quiet. It uses a single fan at the top to draw air in from the bottom and exhaust it out the top.

It's not universally supported, but there is an animated png format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG

Nice Alice's Restaurant adaptation :) Funny that my internal voice started sounding like Guthrie several seconds before I got the reference.

I believe he is saying it becomes less plug and play. By saying "it becomes more than plug and play at that point," he means it becomes more effort than plug and play.

That's my read on it, anyway. It always gets dicey interpreting the intent of others :)

Seems to me that the only time I hear that Java is slow anymore is when I read someone asking "Why do people still say Java is slow," and the like.

Do people still say Java is slow?

For.

Just because someone else decides to become a criminal doesn't mean I should have my Constitutionally protected right infringed.

Broken for me. The question page at the end didn't have a submit button (just oddly quoted: Preparing results..."), and when I submitted by pressing <enter> in an input box I got a "connection reset" error from Firefox.

In an email update I received from them yesterday, there are currently 104 games available for download, including Final Fantasy III.

I didn't see any references to "only affects residents living in Cyprus". From the articles I've read, it appears to be a tax on all deposits, regardless of foreign or domestic, personal or business.

Any more invites floating around? I'd love to have one :)

And still no option to print? I've been a happy ST2 licensee for quite some time, and the inability to print is probably my biggest complaint (though, admittedly, I don't need to print things very often).

I like the aesthetics of two spaces, as well. Especially when using a proportional font since a proportional space is narrower than an average character width. A "." and a skinny space doesn't provide much of a visual separation.

I've gotten over not liking seeing a single space from others, and others can get over seeing my double-spaces :)

Also, when listing episodes, the date "unknow" should be "unknown".

Nice site, I really like the clean design. I'll be using this in conjunction with TV Calendar (http://www.pogdesign.co.uk/cat/).

I, too, fondly remember reading Compute! and Compute's Gazette from cover to cover each month when I was a kid, along with long sessions of typing in programs from the magazine into my C=64.

I remember talking to some adults about Assembly programming, and they were dumping on my beloved 6510, seemingly surprised anyone could get anything done with only three registers (A, X, & Y). They were 8086 guys, of course. All I ever knew at the time was three registers, it never occurred to me other chips had more. You make do with what you have :)

I've been keeping my eye on Uptano, they've come a long way since I played with the initial beta. I really like the idea of having a dedicated box and being able to allocate VMs within it.

Typically, all caps in a name indicate the word is an acronym. With Java being a proper noun, only the first letter should be capitalized.

There are plenty of exceptions, of course, especially in the tech field.

Btw, I wouldn't have guessed that English is not your native language.

But, as I understand it, the draft language came from Leahy. There was immediate backlash so now he's distancing himself from it.

I was hesitant to upgrade to iOS 6, but am really glad I did.

I regretted upgrading my iPhone 3gs to iOS 5. Everything was slower, and the lag on the virtual keyboard was maddening.

iOS 6 has actually breathed new life into my 3gs. Naturally, it's not as fast as an iPhone 4/4S or 5, but at least now it's not pissing me off on a daily basis.

Good. The request shouldn't have even been made.

Often, your web server application won't know that the activation email can't be sent. It's common practice to throw outgoing emails into a job queue, so a very basic check isn't superfluous at all.

Yep, it was a license purchase, sorta (I was in batch 2). From their website at the time: "you’ll be able to purchase the limited version of Phusion Passenger Enterprise Edition for the price that you think that it’s worth. Get it while supplies last." Followed by a big green button saying "BUY ENTERPRISE LICENSE TODAY".

BUT, right below that it said: Actually this is really a donation. The "enterprise" name is just a joke.

Nice. I did something like this (tho MUCH more limited!) back in the 80s. I created a little Turbo Pascal program that let you enter the wake-up time, and at that time it would make my home phone ring, which was guaranteed to always wake me up.

It used the AT commands of the modem to do a little onhook/offhook toggling and then dialing my own number and then going back onhook. The local phone company would interpret the sequence as a ring-test request and call my number.

It was fun to write and I used it for years.

Good luck!

Theft and copyright violation are not comparable. Both may be illegal, but they aren't the same. Would it be illegal to build a replica of the Porsche for myself?

The GP's example was bad because he mentioned taking a product or service, rather than making a copy of something and keeping it. I'm assuming he didn't mean it the way it reads.
