I have my 1920x1200 displays on their sides so the site looks fantastic but the old site was making better use of the space, especially if I'm on my laptop using it's dismal 1600x900 display.
If/. is going to go down this route, why not do something akin to Google Plus where you can switch between the 960px container and a 100% container and maybe have it saved as a user preference or dynamically re-size base on the users screen res (easy task using Javascript, not fool proof though)
Also, what's with the header? Once the user scrolls to the top, why not have it expand even taller and bring some use to it (I love how Tech Crunch make use of their floating header, and also Google Plus)
All in all, it's still WIP afaikt so I'll be interested to see how it pans out.
Now get off my lawn!!!
Turn computer ON -> Press F12 or Del -> Disable secure boot -> Reboot
Now THAT wasn't so hard was it?
Yes yes, I know, some systems aren't that easy but for the last 3 or 4 (really really new) laptops I've had to install Debian on, it really was THAT easy!
I live in Thailand. There isn't a single ISP that offers residential services that pushes IPv6. When I call and ask about it, I get the usual "huh? IP what?" -- So yeah, that gives you a sure indication of where we're at!
Enough of it already! People have been selling "lapel" type spy cams for years! Less discreet than Google glass and smart phones (the latter that have been around for many years already)
Recently switched back to Debian from Arch. Best thing I did. I have nothing against the Arch guys or the distro, but I seem to get more work done on Debian!
XFCE 4.10 and I'm running sid with the siduction repo's and I couldn't be happier. It's a shame they couldn't get the XFCE 4.6 -> 4.10 upgrade path working by freeze.
You're absolutely right. I am a Linux guy but I would probably feel more comfortable moving back to Win7 as opposed to OSX (if I ever had to of course!)
Please remember, in places like Thailand (and similarly Malaysia), this is against the law unless a work permit (Yes, even if the "work" is based overseas) is granted to which is near impossible if the same work can be done by a Thai. Flaunting this MAY result in you being kicked out not after paying an hefty fine.
Yes, the laws are stupid but they're only trying to protect people like you taking jobs away from people like them!
My thoughts exactly. You could have this exact hardware setup for a third of the price and roll your own software. If you forego the Nexus and (and ability to install a working Ubuntu dist) swap that with one of the cheap Chinese made tablets (many have full size USB ports already!) then you'd be in the sub $150USD range.
Agreed. Potentially any Android device could be used. Can't wait to see the looks I get when I start wandering around my city with my Android phone with an TP link adapted connected to the OTG adapter and a Pringles tin taped to my head!
I second this. Reverse SSH would work a treat. It sucks to have the extra hop but it will do until your phone carrier decides to move with the times and allow IPv6.

RTMFA And I am perplexed as to why he chose not to go to Iceland and claim asylum straight away as opposed to going to HK first?

It's a "herd" of RMS's running round a field proclaiming that we should all kill closed sourced software. Color me scared...
I am literally shaking in boots.

Talk about crowd sourced fear mongering.
"Who wants to look at someone else's stupid photos?"
Yep. That's why we have Instagram!
Always knew those cheeky Bloomberg staffers admired my sweet .bash.rc and my fancy PS1! No wonder they were spying on me!!!
My data doesn't disappear when I run # mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda either. Make ya think eh?
You must have popped into #archlinux by accident :)
Seriously though, on the forums, the #! guys (and girls!) are some of the nicest in the Linux community.
Haven't used OSX in quite some time but isn't this how their .app files are maintained?
I can see some logic in this. Doesn't mean I agree with it but time will tell.
This! Hell, using SQLite on most small web sites would be overkill and could quite easily grep text files all day long!

I guess i'll be seeing you in your Guy Fawkes mask walking down the street. I'll be sure to wave and say "Cheeeese!"
get out much?
"We can have a viable replacement" My folks use all of the above under Linux for close to 3 years already and they haven't had a single issue.

More like "too lazy" to migrate.
On the upside, this year might FINALLY be the year of the Linux Desktop! *hides*

...to "cloud" computing!
Where do I sign up?

yeah, /. should have wrapped the "Show Transcript" in h1 tags eh?...
