I don't know if it still works, but Google used to support network providers force non-ssl searches using DNS poisoning. BT's WiFi offering used to do this, which is one of the reasons I stopped using it.

So long as LTE is included in the UK models this time, I can see that being a big selling point as 4G is starting to slowly be rolled out here.

Vim when I want to quickly edit a file

Geany for writing longer scripts

RubyMine for Ruby development (mostly Chef cookbooks these days)

Now we just need a little refactoring to merge these two. If only httpstatus.es was on github.

Do managers really need to use version control? Give them Dropbox if they just want to share files simply.

The problems you had when trying to switch to git are the exact same problems I have as a git fangirl when trying to use svn. To a large extent the choice of version control system comes down to what you feel happiest with, but there are certain workflows which suit one or the other slightly better.

If you're making heavy use of svn externals then you'll find git submodules pretty horrible. But if your aim is to manage files between multiple users then git's distributed nature may make your life much easier if you give it some more time.

So I'm guessing the experiment is either A/B testing of layouts of number pads, or it's testing to see if people can cheat the leaderboard.

Also, it must be a slow news day for this to get to front page.

It's a great time to be a good programmer in a language that is popular. Otherwise things aren't so great.

He glorified cluster bombs and marvelled at mass murder, if there's a heaven then he probably isn't in it.

When leaving my grandparents' house for a long journey home, everybody was always instructed to give three rings when they get home safely. To this day I always let a phone ring three times before answering, partly in case it's an "I'm OK" message and partly because waiting for somebody to answer gives the caller time to think what they actually want to say.

My grandparents didn't have caller ID and so had no idea who was telling them they'd got home safely, but they could guess based on timings pretty well.

This also gives rsync, scp and all the other benefits of commandline ssh. Mintty was enough for me to be able to put off installing Debian for another month.

You realise you can offer an exit node for only certain ports? It's not perfect for what you want but its a start.
