Not really... I do know a little bit of perl, I try to learn a programming language a year, and perl was in '08, ruby in '09... There are some things I like, and some I don't so much.
My 56k dialup keeps saying CONNECT 38400, and dropping off.. I have the serial port set to 9600 8N1 since I read somewhere that is standard... I don't know why it's so slow and unreliable.. I did by a US Robotics Windows Modem for my Windows 95 desktop... It's super awesome and place Duke Nukem 3D way better than plain old DOS...
Don't under-sell this aspect... that's my intent... after fiddling with various HTPC front ends for gaming, I'm hoping to see something refined for use on Ouya.
Heh... I have run Linux as my main desktop with VMWare Workstation for Windows virtual machines... I've had a number of issues with running Linux on the desktop.. a full virtual version of windows wasn't one of them.
I think the current N4 really does have a good value point (if purchased out of contract from Google)... It's been stable, works well, and a solid performer. I had to wait a while to actually get it though. Other than the back is too slick (solved with a rubberized case), and some gesture keyboard quirks I've been really happy with it. It's my fourth Android phone (first was the G1), and it's the first one I've been happy with the out of the box experience... MicroSD would be nice, but the 16GB is enough for me (I would feel constrained by 8 though). And thankfully it hasn't been like my last phone, would constantly freeze and lock up requiring me to remove the battery. So, knocking on wood, it's been a nice phone.
I was a pretty big Nokia fan before my G1.. experiencing my contacts sync automagically was eye opening, and sold me on the Android platform.. it irks me how vendors will put their crapware over the top of stock. I wish a lot more was done to keep the hardware drivers compatible between versions of android so updates could go smoother. I do wish people knew there was an option to buy direct from Google... it's been a much better experience for everyone I know who has.
Well... *know* is pretty subjective... most developers can hack away at it... but few actually have anything resembling a decent understanding. I wish more JS devs understood type coercion and short circuiting techniques a bit better...
I cringe when I see the following... var x = getSomeValue();
x = parseInt(x);
if (x == 0) x = null;
if (isNaN(x)) x = null;
I have to agree here... I don't typically use MS Office outside of work.. but I know a lot of people who rely on FEATURE_X in Word or Excel in their daily workflow that OOo/LO doesn't have... It surprises me that there are a lot of small but very useful features that tie people to Ms Office products. I tend to use Windows at work... OSX on my laptop, and a smattering of Windows, Linux, BSD and Android regularly. I've been thinking of changing my ESXi box for SmartOS (OpenSolaris) even... I use what works for me.. sometimes it's windows, sometimes it isn't. I don't see why people are so damned dogmatic about it all.
Semi-Automatic weapons are *NOT* machine guns... most guns are semi-automatic.. even revolvers that rotate the next chamber while pulling the trigger. All Semi-Automatic weapons to is to load the next round without having to do anything other than pull the trigger. This includes every standard firearm used by police agencies and the FBI... specifically the side-arms they carry.
There is already an effective ban (*very* high tax) on fully automatic weapons.
Sorry, but I have to disagree... Setting up SVN +TortoiseSVN on windows is pretty painless, and just works... Setting up a centralized Git repository is about like pulling teeth imho.
I tend to think of it as very useful... if you've spent the time trying to do on-demand ports for games, irc, ftp etc... it's not fun opening up all those nat forwards... upnp is a bit easier. Though, I'm generally the only user on my network at home...
When I can get my tabs to align vertically in Google's document format, I'll switch... And using Courier as a font is not a suitable solution for me.
I tend to prefer Open^wLibreOffice myself, for home use, and suggest it to friends. You can set your default document save format to the MS-* varieties.

Target doesn't sell you a printer that you can only buy your ink from target...

Just had to ask.... What's the difference between a "metric fuckload" and an "imperial fuckload" of money?
Excessive patent and copyright controls are emphatically *NOT* "Free Market" ...

I can't comment on Straight Talk.. but been happy with SimpleMobile (T-Mobile equivalent) with my N4.

If you aren't pushing bug fixes upstream, you are part of the problem...
...And best of all, you already know it.

vs:

I'm pretty sure both Windows Phone and Android allow you to install Apps outside their respective stores without jailbreaking/rooting the OS.
Yeah... but Safeway and Target don't sell you houses that prevent you from buying your canned goods at Walmart either.

I really want that on a t-shirt... I'm a big guy, so it should work well on a 4X
The understanding of Militia as in the Militia Act.. means a comparable combat capable weapon.. which expressly *does* mean something like an AR-15.
It's not exactly a strawman.. the people and organizations pushing hardest for "gun control" have stated that their goal is expressly "no guns" ...

I think a bluetooth game pad with a built in holder for a 4-7" phone/tablet would be nice... and games designed to work with it.
Command not found... Now install and configure got to work against a server in windows.

TortoiseGit has to be the most painful experience I've had for simple workflows... google and the command line were easier.
As to the why... Github is the new hotness for FLOSS projects. 'nough said... Though about half my dev time is now using NodeJS in Webstorm...

If you have that many machines to manage, then running your own DNS server with those zones setup as you would a hosts file shouldn't be an issue.
