the unix layer is (mostly) a non-issue now with the windows 10 anniversary update, though that doesn't help for xcode

personally i found exposé and spaces to be way ahead of windows a few years ago, but the new task view in windows 10 and multiple desktops have basically caught up, and i think combining them into mission control was actually a bit worse than just using the features separately

window management with aero snap and actual, real maximized windows was always better though

of course, all this and much much more have been possible on various linux desktop environments for a long time, if one doesn't run any critical windows-only (or mac-only) software

it could also be done pretty trivially using an xposed module, such as: http://repo.xposed.info/module/mobi.acpm.sslunpinning

i haven't personally tried this route yet though

>If I had complete authority over a nation's nuclear weapons I would never, under any circumstances, actually use them. In all respects I would act as though I would respond to a nuclear attack in kind without hesitation, but that would be a lie. If I were faced with an overwhelming strategic attack and had the opportunity to respond with an attack of equal magnitude, I would not. Such an act would not change the outcome of my own nation, it would merely inflict the same on my enemy, which since I am not a psycopath has negative utility. At that point the war is already lost, the best one could do is minimise the destruction inflicted on humanity as a whole.

part of me wants to hope that the individuals involved in the creation and deployment of nuclear warheads have actually agreed to silently sabotage them all, rendering them inoperable even if there were an attempt to use them

it would make a good storyline, at any rate

ideally we'd stop the scams at the source, rather than flooding the internet's infrastructure with even more pointless traffic

but i'd still enjoy seeing a project that automates the wasting of scammers' time

even something as simple as piping their emails and responses to/from cleverbot could be moderately effective

this is one of the reasons i'm quite happy with my first gen pebble: the screen is always on, so i can always see the time

i also got mine for half the original price, at $75

i think they were smart to focus on the things smartwatches actually do well: notifications, and simple remote controls (i.e. for music, navigation)

having physical buttons makes it much more useful, since i can easily perform actions without even looking at the watch, or with gloves on

and only having to charge it once a week is wonderful

i personally don't use activity trackers, but the newest pebbles include that functionality

i think android wear and the apple watch both try to do too much, and end up being good at nothing

> ("tab" handling is abysmal, at least with Chrome on Android)

this can be fixed by going to the settings via the chrome menu and turning 'merge tabs and apps' off, if that's the behavior you're referring to

>open multiple apps to compare prices

that gives me an idea...
