If I took up sexting, there will be outbreaks of blindness. Seriously.

My monthly bill hovers at around £3. The cheapest plan that offers unlimited data on Three is £12.90 a month. For my uses, that will be overkill.

I'm on Three in the UK and I get charged 1p per MB. Assuming each message is 1KB in size (lolwut?) that means I get charged 1p per 1000 messages. It doesn't matter if my friends and family are spread all over the world as the charge is the same. No mobile plan comes close.

And ... have you seen your daughter since you gave the disk to her?

Probability of Relationship is inversely related to Slashdot posting frequency.

Yeah, but that looks scary :)

They're also not demonstrating jQuery selectors which are significantly more concise and powerful. $("#my_div") is significantly more concise and readable than document.getElementById("my_div").

Hey! You've just described my time in Rust!

HTML5 was touted as the panacea of mobile app development back in 2012 (IIRC). The big news was when companies like Facebook and Linkedin migrated their iOS/Android apps to HTML5. Only problem is that the big name companies have since ditched their HTML5 mobile apps and gone back to using native APIs. They cite performance issues (apps running out of memory and stuttery animation) as the reasons for the switch. This is not just limited to the big companies, and others are leaving the HTML5 mobile app boat.

Google seems a little late to the party.

I've never seen anyone use Fahrenheit in the UK, certainly not in the way you suggest.

It's by Jeff Cogswell. I ignore any of the "articles" he writes as they're either misleading bullshit or chock full of Captain Obvious statements.

You realise that faux is pronounced "foe"?

Ended up with a Macbook precisely because of the aspect ratio. Now if there was a decent 4:3 laptop, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. The Chromebook pixel is nice, but too pricey for what it is.

You can now buy SDXC cards that have 90MB/s transfer speeds, so it's not impossible that it's just high speed flash. SSDs on the other hand are capable of 400MB/s transfer speeds, 800MB/s if it's one of the new PCI-e devices found in the new MacBooks.

This is why I have plugins disabled by default and enabled only for certain "trusted" sites. For Silverlight, the only site that can run it is Netflix. This obviously doesn't protect you if your "trusted" site is compromised, but it does mean that browsing to some random website doesn't automatically infect you.
