It is now number 2 behind mint! Which "is an Ubuntu-based distribution"

When will /. have a like/+1 button on posts. Don't adjust moderation on it but it'll at least let people 'agree' if not just mark something they like. This being one I'd like...

Why? I've got mod points, I can't mod it now obviously, but I'm curious as to why you think it should be modded up? To me it's not insightful or interesting in any other way then the common "I agree" use of positive mods

Why's that? Does your mum have a sale on I should know about?

It was my understanding he left because the devil came to claim the soul he was promised to help Apple excel? So sorry Yahoo but that soul is already spent

Woah settle down cowboy. It's his project for his own work. If that is the worst bug you can find in his project then he's doing much better then a lot of code I've come across, even in major java frameworks.

What makes someone 'qualified' to write code for themselves? Does he need to drown in student debt? Spend years studying just to get there? Everyone started somewhere so get off your high horse and let the guy make his own mistakes.

That is the only gripe I've had with it at work. Most scribbling I do is easy with a finger but sometimes more finite control, or just not having my hand in the way, would be nice. The newer, longer capacitive stylus' are suppose to be good to so I plan to place an order soon.

A larger screen would also be fantastic, another reason I'd like to move to android. The 10.1 are still very portable.

I use an iPad at work and have since it was first released in .au. The best thing it does that a notebook (this is assuming pen and paper notebook) can't is get my notes on my computer. I write once in evernote/awesome note/whatever note application and it's then everywhere I will need it. Same for using dropbox and scibbling apps. I don't have to later scan or rewrite, it's all there on my desktop/phone/laptop for whenever I need access to it.

If you're talking about a laptop, I use the iPad for the same reasons above. Plus my macbook pro is heavy and my air is too big to easily carry or use in small areas like behind the sink when I work with recipes. I also can't use my finger to simply scribble diagrams or have others scribble notes from across the table. Also having the iPad gets rid of the 'wall' between me and my clients so it's useful for body language too, something I never underestimate.

As for everyone YMMV but those are the reasons I use an iPad. Next year I'll likely change to Android as I've had enough of the walled garden.

Disappointedly, that's what she said

So I should stop asking people to unlock the door for me? Will I be forever trapped outside my friends house or fear for my own security because I should not lock the door because I cannot unlock it!? Life must be hard and lonely for a grammar nazi.

Oracle/Sun hardware? Say hello to Google!

Google plus is about you. Mailing lists are usually about something other then you. If you're happy to let a new friend see all of your old exploits then hey, more power to you. Some people don't. I think the boss or new girlfriend examples are good because people change and mature so she doesn't need to see what you did years ago before you moved on from being an emo teen or drunk college student to having some confidence and common sense. If you can't see this causing issues unlike a mailing list of people with similar interests and goals but next to no personal information then you need to meet more people.

Personally I don't care too much about the difference except between my personal and professional life. I have a separation because I know those I have a professional relationship don't care about my sports, holidays or activities I have planned. I use linkedin and FB for this reason but if G+ makes the separation easy then I'll drop both and move to one platform.

I think you'll find your definition of hacking is not what you think it is
The Free Dictionary states: To gain access to (a computer file or network) illegally or without authorization A message stored in a voicemail system is a file stored on a computer somewhere and they gained access without permission.

So what's your definition? Is it because they used such an easy to use password it's not hacking? Does that then mean brute force or the use of a dictionary or simply trying the most common passwords is not hacking? Or is it because it was a phone connecting to the network that makes it no longer hacking? Or maybe it's that they managed to gain access to her phone records without actually having possession of her phone that stops it from being hacking?
