Re:CalendarPicker: a new concept for date selection.
on Thursday April 08, 2010 @11:46AM (#1250048)
It needs some easing and transitions to let the user know what's happening.
Maemo has a similar date picker, by the way. It's vertically, and the scrolling is more intuitive partially due to this fact.

Re:File Sharing with an iPad: Ugh

To be fair, although my phone has SSH, Samba, and Transmission for torrents, it can't print until I install a third-party program (and it's still cumbersome).

I've also found that you don't even need the pot. If you prepare an excess of boiling water and use some to pre-heat your bowl and cover, it's possible to actually cook the couscous sufficiently.

I'm working on a Flash game using Flixel for a contest on Newgrounds. There haven't been many submissions so I'm basically just trying to get it done by the deadline :)

It's in the settings panel for "Wireless" if you have v24 of the firmware.
Re:Apple Approves Spotify for iPhone : Six Million Songs in Your Pocket

I thought the new iPhone allowed background applications...? Why can't they play music all the time?
Edit: No really, I'm just asking. Why can't they? Is it banned? I honestly remember hearing the hoopla around background applications a few months ago.

If you use DD-WRT you can set up a second virtual access point that can use your internet connection without having access to your local network.

Re:Things Windows 7 does that Vista doesn't
on Thursday August 27, 2009 @11:19AM (#789352)
I think we need an "X number of things every other popular operating system does that Windows doesn't" article. To start off:
* Multiple users on the same machine at the same time
* Software repositories
* Useful software pre-installed (windows doesn't have IM, office tools, or photo editing software)
* Advanced filesystems available

Re:UK says illegal downloaders may lose web access

I wonder what would happen if google.co.uk included a hidden iframe containing an "illegal download", such as a short story or newspaper article. How would the law treat that?

Yeah, that's actually a pretty odd way of doing things. In perl with moose (or just perl6) you just type 'class Foo Bar' in your file and you're good to go.

Gmail search is fast. On outlook, a desktop mail client, it can take up to an hour to search for a simple term, in my experience.
