Python: easy to learn, quick for scripting
Ruby: Rails, TDD
Objective-C:...

I am currently a "web developer", but I find that a job title and description means close to nothing in this industry. I was brought into my current job to work on a typical Ruby on Rails stack, but...

Social coding. I can store my code on there for projects and easily share them with others.

Interesting you bring this up as I am curious about it as well. This detachable tablet keyboard form factor looks to be the future of portable computers. I wonder if Ubuntu will be able to work on...

LOL

Watch Antitrust, Hackers, and Swordfish. If not for the software, for Rachel, Angelina, and Halle.

:popcorn:

lol at the one product review on there!

Are the windows maximized? You can just grab the top bar, where the menu is, and drag.

Are you looking for documentaries? Or fiction?

Antitrust isn't about Linux, but it is about a psycho who kills open source developers... lol.

You are probably encountering a string that is longer than 21 characters, but also smaller than the highest position you are trying to slice. You should probably fail gracefully if an input line is...

It would be nice to see an example input and output file. Python would be just fine for this script as it has good string manipulation methods. This is a common problem, so I'm sure lots of people...

Funny.. I just saw this on Hacker News. Haha.

That is pretty cool. Haha, at first I couldn't see Ubuntu in the middle. So abstract.

I used to be a frequent poster at Toms Hardware (http://www.tomshardware.com/). You should check their articles out and sign up on their forums. You can post your configuration and have people judge...

For everyday use, you can get by with any CPU. For gaming, you'll want to focus on getting a good video card since that is what takes a brunt of the work for rendering graphics. I usually like XFX or...

This sounds like a networking issue. Is this something that happens on all websites? Or only a select few? Is this your home internet?

If this is a FAT32 filesystem, there is a 4GB limit on files being stored. You'll need to reformat to NTFS.

I like using the command line to play Pandora. This project is pretty cool: http://6xq.net/projects/pianobar/

This. If you put:


cd ~

at the end of your .bashrc maybe? I haven't confirmed, but this should change directory to home when a terminal starts.

Well, it could be anything. Slow hosting? Inefficient data loading? Sending HTML chunks over the wire? You can inspect using Firebug or Chrome Debugger to see if it's something over the wire or on...

python ./filename

Or add the shebang to the beginning and do:


chmod +x filename
./filename

Something that bit me in the butt while configuring my external HD for Windows, Mac, and Ubuntu was the 4GB limit on files on partitions formatted to FAT32. I wrote about it here.

I would...

Use Vim... tee hee trollololol

On a serious note, I loved using gEdit because of the plugin support. You can take it from simple text editor to full fledged IDE.

I have also found that you need to move the cursor far to the left to get the launcher to show. Meaning, don't stop moving your cursor to the left once you hit the edge, simply keep going as if it...
