The PDF export feature sounds great - but even something simpler like a CSV, JSON, heck even XML would give others a lot more freedom to handle the data however which they choose.

My first reaction: How else do you save?! You mean you actually take your hands off the keyboard, and click the floppy icon in a toolbar? Or even.. click on File > Save? Seriously?
I think this assumption as a very strong population bias.
With the people I work with.. it's all about keyboard shortcuts. If you don't know your basic keyboard shortcuts, you're too slow. But then again, I work around people with super customized Vim and EMacs configs and people who live in Photoshop/Illustrator all day. You just can't be productive in those environments without keyboard shortcuts.
For me, users who don't do "Ctrl-S" to save are certainly a minority.
However, you can have a similar scenario where maybe I work at an office 5 minutes from home over the time I was carrying the dongle, I quit and go to a job 60 mins from home that crosses a few nasty neighborhoods, etc.
Is it my burden to report this to the insurance company so they can jack my rates because my risk rating surely went up?
Right now.. it likely isn't. I fear for the day when it is.
Finder, Calculator, Calendar, the top menu, etc. All really spot on.
I'm playing around in it still. Managed to find my way to the Terminal, and I'm poking around the filesystem.
It is Linux, and seems to be based on a stripped-down version of RedHat (going from some of the remnants of certain man pages).
The UI is a modified/themed KDE.
They did a really good job with the apps - for example, the calculator app is "Calculator.app", which is really a directory with a Contents/Resources, etc directories inside it; the same way OS X does it.
Even if the code path is never intended to be executed, there are bugs in code that could lead to it.
Yes, it's a P2P protocol, but when you're managing a bunch of servers, you don't use it as such.
You set up one server in your environment (time.example.com) and have all your boxes sync to that.
Why would appserv.example.com EVER need to be able to accept NTP connections from anyone else?
Being able to control he time could theoretically let you control any PRNGs that rely on it.
Working for a big insurance co., we're seeing a big shift toward a "devops-like culture", and a lot of the time that means less IBM.
IBM not only needs to refresh their offerings, they need to refresh their image. The common feeling around here is IBM products are slow, buggy, and pieced together quickly from a ton of other acquisitions who are then "IBM-ized" together.
They look beautiful on paper, in a way that speaks to both execs and real tech people alike. But once you build it out and start trying to support it...
Go to System Preferences > Spotlight. Uncheck items you don't like to have searched and displayed for you.
If switching, a user no longer has to wait on delivery of a small physical item from the new carrier. The user doesn't have to fiddle with a paperclip to pop out the SIM. (Average user could be scared to do so, or could scratch/bend the rather fragile SIM tray). It could all theoretically be done from a settings menu.
If no negotiations were needed, then anyone could have picked up and done a low-budget adaptation and called it a day.
But, because there were some rather expensive and difficult negotiations to settle, the amount of people able to do the movies was limited to those who would be able to spend the money to get the rights. And with that sort of investment, there's a big incentive to also invest heavily in the quality of the production to ensure a good return.

Amazon's mobile app does this excellently with the One-Click purchase.
And don't even get me started on Steam sales.
I dare not look at my spending history on either of those two.
I'm curious how you came at that number.
I'm inclined to believe that at least some of the population that does click on and interact with advertising is part of a very different group than that would install AdBlock.
I find myself in the latter - I run AdBlock, but even if I didn't, I wouldn't be clicking on ads anyways. Am I part of that 30% lost revenue?
I have a feeling this may be because even "Close Buttons" on ads have a reputation for being untrustworthy.
I've drilled it into the heads of all of my not-so-computer-savvy relatives to NEVER click anything on any ads, even if it looks like a close button. They often aren't. (Telling mom and pop that clicking on 'em will give you viruses is very effective.)
Also, what does "Nowhere in 'docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash' does it say something about LXC." even mean?
Docker is built upon LXC features. It needs them to work. LXC not there? It's not gonna work.
> "there should be a way for the SMTP/IMAP server to notify the client and remove it."
As long as the protocol requires the client to obey a command to delete, it's not going to work.
With such a protocol, nothing is stopping me from choosing to disregard any messages to delete already received (and downloaded) messages. In fact, I'd probably have the client highlight them for me if they got a "delete this" request. There's probably something good someone is trying to hide in that message.
If I recall correctly, Twitter had a similar issue with their API. They have a method to delete a Tweet, but the Twitter client has to honor the delete client-side since it has a cache of tweets it has seen.
Of course, in a closed environment like Twitter, Twitter can choose to revoke a non-compliant client's API keys if they don't follow the rules. Not so much with email.
You can be a honest and tax-paying citizen of society and still get audited. There's always the chance that there may be a mistake somewhere. The US tax code is not simple. Even if you shell out $20-$80 a year to do it via TurboTax, H&R Block, whatever, there's always room for a mistake.
And even if there are no mistakes, simply being told you are being audited would make most people's heart skip a beat.
The article didn't quite cover what approach the IRS is using.. Whether they are taking already flagged people and getting more info via social network profiles, or if they are using social network profiles and using that as a deciding factor on if one should be audited or not.
The former I don't have much of an opinion on. The latter I don't like the sound of one bit.
Once you start dealing with big corporations, it's not as simple as "oh it's time to update".
> The Core lets you do your own socket programming over TCP and UDP.
There's nothing stopping you from writing your own TCP/UDP listener server and having the Spark write to a port on that.
You have no one to blame but yourself.
Sure, they butchered it up in version 2.0 and above, but I've always felt version 1.4 was probably the best library manager I've used.
However, if you're looking at in the case of an SNES emulator or something.. then hq4x seems like the best choice. It keeps true to the original pixel art, while appearing significantly better.

Yikes. That's 3.6x the max budget they were hoping to spend. I really do hope that in the long run it pays off.
