Why do these things always need to use live connections through twitter and facebook etc...? Why don't they just make their own website which shows the info in a more personal way to them? All the rest are just dumb hypes.
Damn so it's forbidden to release any app that can actually some Turing complete code? I guess a Brainfuck app for the iPhone is out of the question too then!
Yeah, they also always say that batteries are 10 times better. But can I use my phone 50 days instead of 5 days without recharging? No, it's always the same amount of days as 10 years ago.
This is going to be the end of the U.S.: lawyers can sue EVERYTHING, and NOTHING is going to be able to survive, resulting in a chaotic prehistoric civilization.
If it's not gyroscopically balanced, but by steering, how can you ride a bike without hands? It's still easier to stay upright when moving forward and not using hands, than to stay upright when not moving at all.
Usually such a warning comes from a website I know, which forgot to renew their certificate. I hate it that you need so many mouseclicks in firefox to finally view the content.
That's cool, SS2 was disappointing compared to SS1 and SS:SE due to much less enemies and stuff. I would sure like to replay SS1 and if it's with better graphics, that's even better.
They should do remakes more often IMHO, e.g. the original Unreal, Tomb Raider II, etc...
In the parent post, I meant 10^3, but slashdot ate away the ^3 symbol.
Also, I mean, do you know what 10 times more means? It means a laptop that now works 3 days, should work 30 days. Do you believe that? I don't. Even though with our technology I find that we should be able to. And that is why I'm frustrated about batteries.
Batteries suck. There have been many times when batteries would be "10 times" more better than some previous generation. But they never are. Batteries would only be good if cellular phone could run at least a MONTH on them. Or a halogen flashlight could SHINE for that long. But no, they're always still the same sucky thing as in the 1800s, and not the 10 times more powerful than should be if all the times someone claimed they were "10 times better" would be true.
No. It was an error saying "You need at least IE6 to use sharepoint explorer view" (while it's IE8 I was viewing it with). This explorer view is like a Windows explorer embedded in IE. Only for having that thing, I use IE for this instead of firefox, for everything else I use FF.
At some place, I use firefox and have to use IE7 for one single purpose: sharepoint. I installed IE8 once, and guess what, explorer view in sharepoint didn't work in IE8, only in IE7. So I had to install IE7 again. Conclusion: IE8 is useless. What a waste of time and energy to launch a campaign about that.
Open multiple documents in Kate. Make sure every document has for example the string "LoadLevel" in it. I choose a string that sounds like a programming function on purpose:)
Now click one document and search for LoadLevel. It'll find it.
Click on another document (in the list on the left). Press F3 for "find next". Kate will not find LoadLevel in the other document. Instead you have to open the find dialog and manually type LoadLevel again. You have to do this again for every document. ALso the "case sensitive" search option is independent for every open document.
That makes Kate 4 unusable for programming, unlike Kate 3.5 which didn't have that "feature".
Geany, btw, has a "find in all files" option. Much better.
Geany has tools to remove trailing whitespace of a file in one action. Also, in every editor that can, I enable the setting to show whitespace (where spaces become light dots and tabs light arrows) so I can see what's going on. Geany doesn't leave more trailing spaces than other editors I used, it's the same...
Also, it took me some time to figure out how, but appearantly there are multiple places in Geany where you can change settings related to converting tabs to spaces. After cursing for a while, I got it to work correctly. I don't remember exactly what it was anymore, but now I can use tab to indent 2 spaces, like I want editors to behave. I agree Geany's setting-layout of inserting spaces instead of tabs sucks, but it's possible.
Years ago I worked mainly in MS Windows, and I used Dev-C++ as the free IDE, because it's fast and simple.
Then I switched to Linux. Tried KDevelop for a few days but didn't like it. Then discovered Kate, which can work as a sort of IDE, because you can open multiple documents, and open a console window at the bottom to type compile and run commands.
Then KDE4 was release and Kate suddenly was unusable for programming (due to ruined search function). And that's when I discovered Geany, which is really nice, it has the same functionality as Kate but is more clearly geared towards programmers.
Geany works great in Linux, I see that it's cross platform, so I guess you can also get it to work in Windows. But note that due to Windows not having the same compiler tools as Linux available by default, it might be handier in Windows to have something that comes with its own compiler like Dev-C++:)

Seriously.
Yes I did. No editing on /. is annoying sometimes.
Digital Personal Property already exists... In MMORPG games.

By "Going Chrome", I thought it was about having every tab be a separate process! But it's just the UI. What a disappointment.

In the past games were made with much less developers and a much smaller budget, and yet I found them just as fun to play.

Appearantly so because the installation version of IE influences it.

Whoa, will this be visble from Earth? That would rock!
Yawn, mobile GPU's. Where are the times of the huge graphics revolutions like when the GeForce just came out?
It must be "The Sound".
Can't send spam to a device that's denied of service - I think I know what's more dangerous.
What, no zeros??
