  1. Neither on Google Android Studio Vs. Eclipse: Which Fits Your Needs? · · Score: 0

    CMake + ninja + emacs is my goto tool set. Even for Android.

    QtCreator works surprisingly well for Android, in my opinion. But it still ain't emacs.

  2. Acer Iconia W500 w/ Debian on Ask Slashdot: Best Tablet For Running a Real GNU/Linux Distribution? · · Score: 0

    See http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Acer/Iconia_Tab_w500/squeeze
    It works, ish. I'm not impressed by the on screen keyboard options, yet.

  3. gaim and control+Z on What Makes a Good IM Client? · · Score: 0

    Control-Z is the UNIX suspend; since gaim is a gnome tool, and gnome is a set of tools initially developed for Linux, a UNIX like OS, guess what control-Z does?

        The same thing it should for anyother x windows app, minimizes the window.

  4. Specific technical questions? Why? on How Should You Interview a Programmer? · · Score: 0

    As a professional developer, I might be offended by specific technical questions that I can find the answer to in 30 seconds or less, but don't know off the top of my head.

    Three interviews is a large time investment: I suspect that that time would be better spent researching an applicant's past performance through his references.

  5. Re:Screenshots? Just try it :) on Sun Drops Sawfish for Metacity · · Score: 0, Redundant

    apt-get install metacity: slashdot effect

  6. Job selection on Telecommuters and Downtime? · · Score: 1

    As a telecommuter, I attempt to maximize usage of my own hardware. For example, my development machine is not very different from the deliverable hardware. So when I leave for the day, I pack my deliverable machine in its case, and take it home. I stay in touch with my co-workers via mobile phone. It dosen't really matter where I develop most of my software; however, testing is another matter. Look for positions where you don't need 24/7 connectivity. Then you should be able to bill through net downtimes.

  7. Re:Freshmeat.net on Is There A Standard for Software Metadata? · · Score: 1

    Freshmeat.net is an excellent information source. Combined with sourceforge, or your own homepage, who needs more?

  8. Patlabor on Essential Anime · · Score: 1

    Patlabor: Action/mystery
