Re:Why I moved from Linux to Mac OS X on Sunday October 13, 2013 @09:12PM (#6544851)
I'm a Java developer, do music recording and plays the synthesizer. Unless there's a Linux laptop in the market that can let me do all these without hours of configuration, I'll stick to my Macbook Pro.

I know that Garageband isn't meant to be a professional recording software, but it gives me what I need, and so far, Linux can't meet any of those requirements yet.

Re:Beyond English, the language of the future on Monday November 07, 2011 @10:39PM (#3209405)
And that's why there's so many variant of English, including the broken ones. Manglish (Malaysian English), Singlish (Singaporean English) and much more.

Though not biology, I think this is how language evolves. For example in China, you have so many dialects (Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese etc). And if you drill down to a dialect itself there are slight differences. You can roughly identify which part of province that person is from.

Rushing? What could possibly go wrong?

I'm using Chrome 13 on an iMac with 8 GB of Ram + Core i5. Pretty laggy here. Safari feels "smoother" though
Still depends on your boss. I used to work for a bank and my head of department dislike people who goes home before 7pm. Our official working hours is 9am - 6pm. I was called into the room once for going home at 6:15pm.
