For now, you need to add both -Wno-return-type and -m32 when compiling.

Or you could text them directly. This scenario is only useful in the case where you have SMS but no internet, and your intended recipient has internet but no SMS.

EDIT: Also, as someone pointed out above, Twitter already has an SMS interface.

That's the point. larrys wants to compare the Model S miles driven by "people who buy brand new expensive cars" against other car miles driven by "people who buy brand new expensive cars," instead of comparing the Model S miles [...] against other car miles driven by everyone.

Nice job! Little bit of feedback:

1. The images don't update until after the first tick of the new exercise. It would be nice if the updated when the rest screen changes to the new exercise screen with the timer and the text.

2. It would be cool if for exercises like the side plank (I think that's the only one in this set), where you hold something on each side, it gave you a halfway warning to tell you that it's time to turn over.

3. The rest period at the end isn't really necessary.

That's an excellent explanation of what's actually going on in this situation. Thank you.

I had issues with the '-' character (for example, in the first line of the Shell Git lesson), and I'm just using the standard US keyboard layout.

EDIT: also '_', as sp332 commented. Firefox on OS X.

What's the reason this isn't compatible with the iPhone 4/other devices?

Also, trying to open the preferences (10.6.8) takes 20-30 seconds of beach ball frozen before the window comes up (and 5-10 to close as well, without changing anything)

Indeed I was. That was in the shortcut when I originally looked at it. He has since edited it out. Thanks!

Ah, thanks for the correction.

Knowing that, this doesn't really matter, but "git lg -10" produces no output at all for me.

Is there a way to limit this to the most recent N (either hard-coded or as an input) entries? It's a bit slow to load when it has to load all of the history ever, and I usually only care about at most the last couple dozen commits.

This is the best example I've seen. We've spent the last 20+ years training the public that ".com", ".net", etc equals "website". Now that anything could be a URL, it's going to be a lot more confusing for people.

Did you check the actual numbers on that? I was impressed with the speeds I was getting, and figured it must be because they were using a P2P mechanism, but when I looked at the download statistics (in the downloader, there's an option to show network information), and was very surprised that it was almost entirely directly downloaded. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it was something on the order of 1-2% of the total download.

That said, as someone else alluded to, maintaining that CDN with that bandwidth is probably crushingly expensive, and is something only Blizzard and a few others could pull off.
