Being a frontend webdeveloper; I found myself wondering if I will benefit from the new iMacs gigantic screen-releastate. I have some ideas that this could be beneficial for my use case.Problem:
There are so many poor reviews on the web. None speaks of how the screen is to work with on a daily basis.Scenario 1: how will spectacle work in terms of ordering all browser windows in full hd-view...
what do I press to get this behavoir?
bind ;:cmd;ctrl throw previous

is the screen still made of glass that will shatter if you drop it to the ground? If glass, I hope they have managed to hardend it. Also I dont want those silly bands/rubber rings around the phone.
ditto. Sometimes a title is just title.

python is like china. By making a shameless copy for them self to use.
"This is where Scheme
really won. Because of its extremely algorithmic---almost
mathematical---nature, Scheme can be easily manipulated in a sort of
algebraic style. One can follow a series of rewrite rules (just about
blindly) to transform a program into another form with some desirable
property. This was exactly what I needed."
Can anyone explain this with an example? I have been pondering what he meant with this for a long time.
it has. But I think its important to point out that freebsd and the bsd-stack is not in any way in competition with osx. Apple develops products, and earns money by creating products that average joe can operate with ease. This means that Apple is able to commoditize off open source, by taking and contributing back to their projects of interest. Free Software Foundation have their understanding of what freedom is. Unfortunately the fight for freedom has resulted in a rather complicated GPL v3 opposed to BSD-licenses which demand that your respect copyright and by that restricts you less than the GPLish licenses. It's ironic, but BSD offers more freedom than GPL. Also, it's a shame that VLC - being the most kick-ass videoplayer today - is hindered by legal issues.
As a funny sidenote, one could say that if you choose GPL you need to consult your legal-department. But if you choose BSD you don't even need a legal-department.
It uses websockets to provide realtime multiplayer action. And canvas to draw the graphics. This is a sweet taste of what is to come with HTML5.
Essentially I'm saying that the developers/distributors that make these kind of products will find a way to reach their customers some way or another. Just because microsoft makes this statement may indeed hinder the market from developing in the early beginnings. But it will not stop the perverts in the long run. Not that I'm against this product in any particular way - as I think people are to be free to explore their sexual fantasies. I am saying however, that the market will be (probably) too big to be ignored.
there is no need for me to define perverts. But according to wikipedia...:
Perversion is a concept describing those types of human behavior that are a serious deviation from what is considered to be orthodox or normal. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pervert
The perverts will win. Simply because there is too big of a market for this to be ignored.
Maybe not a new currency. But Paypal truly has showed weakness when bending over for a government without any juristic evidence. I mean, Paypal as the #1 international internet pay-service (as I see them) is basically compromising their entire credibility over one political case. One can only wonder how much pressure the Government had put on them. So while a totally new currency maybe would be taking it a bit too far - a 100% independent online pay-service/transaction-service, explicitly stating their i political independence would be up for a timely launch now. Kind of like a Swiss bank - but for online cash-flow.

I do not quite grasp the difference between the two as they both appear to use push technology to communicate data real time. Are we splitting what could be one? It reminds me of a common problem from the WEB2.0-era, S-EXP. vs. XML vs. JSON. Basically breaking the web unnecessary much.
making sounds on a violin does not make you a musician just like coding up some statements does not make you a programmer. But it is how everyone, great or small, starts. Nice read.
I'm not saying anything, but rather asking.

Liu Xiaobo has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on human rights in China. It has however aggravated the Chinese government, such that all major western media are being censored as we speak by the national firewall. Should we acknowledge this prize? Or should we rather pay respect to the regime that has governed the Chinese people with marvelous economical growth the last two...
a before and after picture comparison would go a far way, since I'm on osx, I cant see much difference.
does it look any different?
