It's not written in C either :-)

I have 5.0.342.9 beta (Mac) and full page zoom is default.

Devils advocate: a child raised by the gay couple might be stigmatized by its peers, so in the best interest of the child it might be better for the child to be raised in traditional nuclear family. If you look at it that way it is also a chicken and egg problem.

I have just found out that Mac has a lot of typography options built in so you can use it even in TextEdit.

For example: http://tinypic.com/r/27y0uo3/5

Unfortunately it doesn't work nearly as well as Google for some foreign language queries.

If you liked that story, you'll probably find this one interesting: http://www.worldofspectrum.org/warajevo/Story.html

It's a story about the development of ZX Spectrum emulator during the siege of Sarajevo in the early 1990s (very poor conditions, similar to those Iraqi guys experienced).

Uh, effect -> affect.

git-svn still doesn't work in msysgit.

You can also Cmd-click the title :-)

How about working on your own laptop, committing changes locally, fixing wrong/broken commits, and then seamlessly merging your changes with others. It is also much faster (e.g. try using svn blame), stores all the history locally, makes working on different branches very, very easy, etc.

I can confirm this. We have a site-wide license for Matlab, but not for Mathematica. Educational version of Mathematica 7 would cost me my two monthly salaries - therefore I will pirate it.

Just start burying like crazy!

It contains a lot of embedded libraries such as WebKit. WebKit is shipped with hundreds of megabytes of test data.

An appeal to authority argument: newly released Android code is kept in git repository. Google built a new wrapper around git called "repo".

I need max. 15 seconds to unlock the bike and start riding it. You say you can't be 30s faster on a bike than someone travelling at walking speed, even for short distances? I guess you can't only if it is 30s walking distance.

Yeah, and they should raise the temperature in their free sex salon (the executive one). Last time I was there, even with all the hot chicks, it was so freezing I almost got sick!

OK, I know you're probably not reading this anymore, but I'll give it a shot :-)

Could you give me a reference to "git is not quite as fast on OS X" because I certainly haven't noticed it. On windows I could feel how slow it was, but not on OS X.

Git works without any problems on OS X. On Windows it is getting better and better, and about BSD I wouldn't know.

> If my mom does a search for something, or if I do a search for something, Google treats us exactly the same. My mom loves crafts, and I love software development. We should get completely different results.

This is actually not true. Different users do get different results, not only based on whether they are searching using their local google site or e.g. google.com, but also based on their search history.

For example, when I searched for GAC (I'm signed in with my google account), the first result I got was:

Are we talking about free software projects or dating projects?

I wouldn't say it pales. OK, this is kind of like comparing apples and oranges, but still:

Leopard:

    port list | wc -l
    5038

Tiger:

    fink list | wc -l
    8111

Ubuntu 8.04:

    apt-cache pkgnames | wc -l
    33720

So the number of packages is 5-6x smaller, but most common/useful packages are present. Also you should take into account that many packages present in ubuntu don't mean anything in OS X. And for example there are for example tons of python packages in Ubuntu, all/most of which can be easily installed through easy_install :-)

Let's compare how up to date the packages are:

    port info cmake
    cmake 2.6.1, devel/cmake (Variants: universal)
    ...

    apt-cache show cmake
    ...
    Version: 2.4.7-1build1
    ...

So based on sample of 1 package we can see that MacPorts is more up to date than Ubuntu. Joking aside, cmake really matters to me...

You forgot my hero - Leslie Lamport.

The only question remaining then is how difficult is it to make a new mapping from CButton -> new Cocoa button. I know that Carbon was more suited to Windows-style GUIs, but Cocoa seems to be slightly more difficult to use in that way...

Did anyone of you try to port a Win32/MFC/WTL app to Cocoa by adding preprocessor directives? (I didn't, it's a genuine question :-)

You don't have to read it (although it is hilarious), just check the pictures :-)
