How is Apple doing it? Microsoft even did not get away with IE with Windows.

What about in laptops? I could easily find a laptop that is half the price of a Macbook Pro but with the same specs.

I wish they would sell Mac OS X that run on non-apple hardware. I would save so much money and love apple again.

I am from the Philippines. All of my friends (in Twitter) speak in their dialects unless they want/intend something to be read by other people who only understand English.

It is very sad to hear that someone in his status says things like that.

I wonder how the employees at Kaspersky feel about his statement.

I remember reading news that it doesn't have LAN play? Is this still true?

FYI, if you remember, that chatroom for RA2 was in webchat.com #ra2

People like ASFM, Mr. President, others still go to that room.

This is nice. I remember this game. I got interested into hacking and the web development because of this game!

I remember that for CnC games, you could just edit the .ini file and you could basically change everything in the game.

I ran a small fansite called Tiberian Sun Oracle -- back in the days, most people submit their sites to Yahoo Directories, etc. I also remember RADen, Battleground TS. I also remember using Newspro (later renamed Coranto) for the news management. Good old days.

The game was still under Westwood back then.

You already did. ;)

I think there should be no problem.

I agree with you. I am assuming that he does not have kids yet? So do it for the experience.

I did a similar thing. I quit my job at a big company and right now I am in Norway for a few months.

I am from the Philippines and believe it or not, I just experienced my first snow a few weeks ago.

I have no idea what you mean by "google backwards".

Anyway, thanks! I keep an eye on this project.

Hehe. I am from Asia (Philippines), but in Norway right now for a short training. Things are a little bit unpredictable right now (schedule, etc.) for me but I find your project very interesting. It would be good if I can find something else to do since I have a few hours at night after the training.

Would be good if you can give me some more info about it.

I have found the link in HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=530086

Thanks again! I will compare this with jacquesm's file.

Thanks! What about for updates? How do you regularly update your data?

LOL. It downloaded in about a minute. Nice server!

Again, thank you so much!

I use a lot of Google Chrome URL box search. I find it very convenient and now hate Firefox and Safari for using a different search box.

I still use Firefox for development though. But Chrome on almost everything else.

Thanks for this. This will make other people's lives so much better. This is good for everyone.

A notebook. I have a 8.5 x 11 notebook that suits my big handwriting. I use 1 page a day.

EDIT: Moleskines are too expensive for me.

Initial thoughts: This filled a void for me. I have been looking for something like this for a while now. I have had problems with organizing my Javascript code.

I will definitely try this out when I get home tonight. For now, off to the beach!

Thanks!

That'd be the day :D Drawings for comments is absolutely a great idea. Sometimes I wish I could "draw" something in my code (Arrows, bookmarks, quick diagrams, etc. beside comments). Think github with this kind of feature.

I tried the GUI tools. But what I love about the web interface is the ability to CTRL + F anything on the page. And I can also "copy" any text I want in it.

Maybe it's just me. But sometimes I draw diagrams describing how the code will work and how the methods interact with each other. A quick drawing with a pencil and paper or on a whiteboard will do. It helps me understand how the over-all system works...

You are right to point out that on a 27" screen, you would have to sit farther away.

I am still on 10.4 though. One thing that bugs me is the size of the mouse cursor. It is too small for me -- I increase it and it all becomes jagged and ugly.

I use a 17" Macbook Pro. Generally the OS's font is okay. But when you are used to coding with fontsize 12, it becomes really small on my macbook. I use fontsize 13-14. It's big and looks really smooth.

Do you also remember the days before Google? When we had to literally submit our sites to Yahoo's directory, etc.? Good old days :)

Oh god I loved Server Side Includes. I ran a Tiberian Sun / Red Alert 2 site a years ago and had like 30-ish pages of content. Each had it's own navigation bar. Now imagine the time it took me update if I added a page or changed the navigation.

To make the long story short, I went to IRC (webmaster.com #ra2 - i think), people there introduced me to SSI. Then a few weeks later, they introduced me to Newspro (a few months/years later, it was renamed to Coranto).

I strongly agree with this. The sad reality is that some of us have deadlines to meet. I think this is an option that makes sense. Writing testable code to get the job done and meet the deadline and the unit tests come in later when needed. EG: new features, bugs, etc.

Not a good practice and ideal but it is practical. IMHO

I have been eyeing books for months now. Pro Javascript Techniques has been one of them. Living in a country where shipping costs as much as a book is hard.

In some cases this is impossible. I work for a company that uses a lot of internal applications that depend on old IE. Asking them to switch to Firefox is like asking them to shoot themselves in the head. A sad reality.

It is not only the pricing but the availability. I think, here (Philippines), people buy pirated DVDs because the distribution is so wide-spread. So if you sell cheap and legit copies and people have to go all the way out to buy, then chances are that they won't.

With Redbox on the other hand, if it is available just around the corner or at least in places with security guards (less likely to be vandalized, etc.), then I'm pretty sure that the ones who sell illegal copies will go out of business in weeks.
