It doesn't need addons to be good at web programming/debugging. The built in inspector and javascript debugger is better than firebug.

I have been programming in C for about 25 years now and the first programs I wrote still compile and run unchanged today.

Mine don't. Mainly because they were written for a 16-bit environment and call BIOS functions and modify video ram directly. They don't even compile anymore.. but even if you could compile them, they'd segfault immediately.

That only appears if the referer is google. It doesn't help if what you were looking for is actually a related question, because as soon as you click on a related question link, the info at the bottom disappears.

Basically EE can disappear from the face of the internet, and nothing of value will have been lost. StackOverflow is better in every single way.

but Alice in Wonderland was available in 3D and had a solid story to go with the visuals.

That's a joke, right? One, Alice in Wonderland is a 2D-3D conversion, which means it's the movie equivalent of a popup book. Two, Alice in Wonderland is a horrible movie.

Google's turn by turn caches the navigation instructions locally.

Besides, as an AT&T iPhone owner, I can't believe that anyone wouldn't prefer verizon over AT&T for car trips.. "oh you can't use data & voice at the same time" versus "no signal at all".

It's also limited to "AT&T's network is shit and Verizon's network is good".

(Sitting at my desk with "no signal" on my AT&T iPhone).

"Anonymous" are like that kid from the twilight zone.. you do anything to upset him and he sends you do the cornfield.

Or at least tries to.. DDOSing Amazon is soo far out of their league it's not even funny.

Show me a GUI "Hello, world!" that'll run on every platform Java does

javascript:alert("Hello, World!");

I love that the ITU is trying to standardize what is basically a version number.

It'd be like saying "Chrome 7 can't possibly be called that because it's doesn't match our standards for what a Version 7 browser does".

arp poisoning doesn't work on wifi APs since they know the difference between LAN and WAN... and many of them don't allow LAN-to-LAN communication at all.

Especially since gnome-terminal with antialiasing is actually faster than xterm without.

Minecraft will never be available in the appstore because it's written in Java. Yet my mapping program for minecraft will be. That doesn't seem right.

They did remove flash.. the latest Macbook Airs don't have flash installed, and Safari doesn't even prompt you to install it anymore.. instead you have to know to go to adobe's website to install flash.

I really can see it. Who can't see Steve Jobs announcing in 2 years that 10.8 will use the app store exclusively? With a giant slide that says "99% of all mac users exclusively use the app store already" and "No more messing with .dmgs" and "automatically stay up to date for all your software".

He'll push getting rid of manual software installation as a feature.

Except it doesn't cost me $100 a year to get an app in a repository.
