Average. Otherwise I'd never drive faster than I can walk, to minimize the impact of "suddenly appearing" obstacles that I can't avoid hitting.

Fewer characters means they can use a bigger more eye-catching font.

SteamOS handles MS games by streaming them from another machine running Windows...

Genuinely curious here.. what kind of salary range do you think is appropriate for a person to be spending $200+ on CPU alone?

And.. then what?

Vim isn't about typing. It's about manipulating text. Some of which involves typing and that's why it has insert mode, but a lot of it is about finding your place in a document or moving one block of text from one area to another area, or changing all of something into something else according to a pattern, and you can do all of this without taking your hands off of the keyboard.

Why, oh WHY, do those #?@! nutheads use vi? makes a pretty reasonable argument.

The cheapest american programmers are not making or even costing $12k a month. ($144k per year in total compensation?!) Salary.com claims an average of $56k per year ($86k in total compensation) for Programmer I, which is still quite a bit more than $1200 a month, but not 10x.

Regardless, H1-B's are not going to be making $1200 a month. They have to live here in the US, and that is barely enough to pay rent in quite a lot of places.

Yep. Firefox had that idea. Probably Opera, too, but I only remember Firefox's implementation of it, so that's what I used as an example.

Is that also true for "previewing" for accessibility?

An extra box for searching just makes it harder to jump to that box (now you need to remember two hotkeys), and takes up space that could be showing the full url (or a lot more of the url, anyway).

I bet your real complaint is browser that don't separate the concept of searching vs. typing a url, so that if they occupy the same box there's a chance you'll get the one you didn't want. This can be solved by having some idiom that switches the context. For instance, a long time ago Firefox added "quick bookmarks" which allowed you to create a "bookmark" with a keyword and whose target contains a token that gets replaced with a url-encoded version of any text after keyword in the url bar.

Generally, yes, but in the fear expressed at Chernobyl is apparently that it will render airborne radioactive particles that are currently sequestered in vegetation, which apparently the natural organic decay process would retain.

Indeed, for e-books, "preserving layout" beyond just keeping the paragraphs (and sections, so that no individual section is too big for the reader's ram) separated is a detriment, as it interferes with readers' abilities to change the layout themselves for various reasons.

My older family members, for instance, like to change the font to a very large size, something that is not possible if the publisher spends too much effort getting the typesetting just right and freezing it in instead of allowing the device to do it on the fly.

They have done worse than that. They poison the search with useless results. Starting with their ongoing campaign to pare down and "simplify" the search interface by removing "advanced" search terms and changing the way strings and keywords are handled. (e.g enclosing in quotes no longer results in an exact string search...)

Ironically, resistor thermal noise is probably a better source of entropy than the gyro would have been. Why does the boot process require random numbers, anyway?

Rankings don't tell anything about proficiency. If the other 29 ahead are pretty functional, then #30 is probably also pretty functional.
