  1. Paul Graham on Slashdot Asks: How Do You Handle Interruptions At Work? · · Score: 1

    Said it all about interruptions for programmers and other makers. http://www.paulgraham.com/make...

  2. Re:I'm al looking to move away from the Mac on Slashdot Asks: Which Windows Laptop Could Replace a MacBook Pro? · · Score: 1

    Agree, let's hijack the thread and ask what's the top-o-the-line Linux laptop? Top notch hardware, etc but Linux?

  3. Re:Oh no on Study: Body Weight Heavily Influenced By Heritable Gut Microbes · · Score: 1

    Amen. These calorie counting programs are great! They work by doing all the math for you. http://myfitnesspal.com/ I used to just run more if I started gaining weight, but then after a certain age the knees give out. Then it's time to face weight problems for what they really are: Remedial math problems.

    First order of business, install a programming language. If they have trouble, use this: http://www.richarddooling.com/index.php/2006/03/14/python-on-xp-7-minutes-to-hello-world/ Works for most n00bs who are stuck on Windows for whatever reason.

  8. Re:Question for you on Dell To Linux Users — Not So Fast · · Score: 1

    Amen. I've seen this Dell/Linux business everywhere for a week. Go to ExtremeTech or wherever, buy the tinkertoys from NewEgg, put them together, and load Linux from a CD. Twice the machine for half the price.

  9. EULA for the whole universe on Making Sense of Software EULAs · · Score: 1

    Yeah, imagine what would happen if the whole universe was governed by a EULA ;>

  10. How many lines of code in Linux? on Why Windows is Slow · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The article made much of how many million lines of code are in XP and how many will be in Vista. At one point the authors state that OS X has roughly as many lines of code as XP, but the programmers made better choices and didn't have to support legacy hardware, so OS X is a better operating system. Does anyone have authoritative information on how many lines of code are in XP, OS X, and some Linux distro respectively?
