With Windows 7 you can backup a clean installation (OS and drivers), no need to reactivate, just recover from a backup ...

PopaLon Sublime Text 2.0 Released

This is one of the best programming editors I've ever used. I like the idea of using same editor (and interface) on Mac, Windows and Linux.

PopaLon Sublime Text 2.0 Released

I suppose you know that you split the layout of ST just like you can split the pane in iTerm2 ... You can even have the same file open twice in a side by side view.

Yes, but if you appreciate the work of the author you should buy a license after you try the editor.

PopaLon Ask HN: How do you sell yourself as a new freelancer to clients?

As I see it you have 2 possibilities:

1. Find yourself work by handing cards ... just like you do now. I think it will eventually work after you land a few projects.

2. Use an aggregate freelancing site like oDesk, vWorker etc. Here is a link to an interesting story about freelancing on vWorker:

PopaLon Ask HN: How to start iOS development ?

I've watched the first three lessons and looks promising, but if you don't already Objective-C it will became quickly problematic to follow the course.

PopaLon Ask HN: How to start iOS development ?

Ruby alternative - RubyMotion C# alternative - MonoTouch

That being said, I still think Objective-C is the way to go if you are an individual developer. For a company with a large .NET base of coders for e.g. makes more sense to use MonoTouch.

PopaLon Ask HN: How to start iOS development ?

Kochan seems OK.

I've seen the Objective-C book from The Big Nerd Ranch and 50% of the book is about basic C. This is not appealing to me, obviously if you know nothing about C (or you have limited experience) this could be a good match for you.

PopaLon Ask HN: How to start iOS development ?

I think the best way to start developing for iOS is trough Objective-C (especially if you already know C).

Otherwise I agree with what you said about starting with a small application.

PopaLon Ask HN: How to write code that can be taken over by others?

Am I the only one who thinks that self medication is a stupid idea ? I mean if you play with your own brain you can't really be able to made objective "observations".

My conclusion, don't do it unless you need it!

PopaLon WordPress and Facebook are finally together, officially

They are not "togheter", there is an official FB plugin for WP.

PopaLon MacBook Pro Retina Display Analysis

The smart move now will be to wait 2-3 months before buying the Retina Display machine. I'm convinced that by the launch of Mountain Lion the OS will let you use the full resolution of the machine for UI, also it will give some time to other apps to upgrade their UI in order to support the new resolution.

While the upgrade to Mountain Lion will be free, I have a funny feeling that Adobe will charge (or at least will try) you some extra money for an updated version of Photoshop for Retina Display MacBook Pro :).

Any self respecting company or individual developer will probably provide a free upgrade for the UI of their applications soon in order to support the new resolution.

PopaLon Why C Is a Great Language

The interview is from 1995 ... you should probably mention this in the title of your link.

Last year MS was in the top 20 Linux kernel contributors:

PopaLon Ask HN: Do you think Ubuntu has lost its way

Recently Microsoft Azure started supporting ubuntu and Mark shuttleworth praised microsoft, does Mark shuttleworth stand has shifted towards capitalism and forgot how often microsofts threatens GNU/Linux with patents.

I'm sorry to tell you that your question is at best confuse. You mix Capitalism, Microsoft Azure and patents in the same phrase while questioning the "ways" of Ubuntu - this makes no sense.

1. If Ubuntu runs on an MS platform more power to Linux, this means even MS recognize the strength of Linux.

2. Capitalism - from where you think the money for developing Ubuntu and Linux in general are coming ? Do you really think Linux is developed by people in their free time ? Sorry to break it to you but today's most Linux development is made by people hired by private companies.

3. Mark Shuttleworth is a businessman, don't confuse him with a member of FSF.

PopaLon Zed A. Shaw - The Web Will Die When OOP Dies [video]
