This is so meta I can't take it. Is everything not-iOS defined as "fragmentation"?

actually the wire-suspended camera was an innovation of the now-defunct XFL. Check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skycam it's about the only thing (other than Tommy Maddox) the NFL picked up from the XFL.

It's not just SSH, it's also a scriptable serial terminal with total control over how fast things get pasted in. You learn to appreciate it when you're deploying a building's worth of switches and you've got your character send delay timed just right.

This and a half. I really, REALLY never noticed they had a Linux version. I suppose I had to be eviscerated by people misreading the rest of my stuff, but hey. Linux SecureCRT, will wonders never cease...

It might sound funny, but in my day to day work?
SecureCRT, SecureFX, Wireshark...then there's Photoshop and all of the games that I buy from Steam and never play because I have kids...
I'm far too set in my ways, and I've never found anything equal to SecureCRT on any other platform.

First time accepted submitter vyrus128 writes "Many people were upset at the revelation, reported here in May, that the Honeycomb version of Android would not be open sourced. But Google promised that the next version, Ice Cream Sandwich, would have full source available. Now that ICS is out, though, the source is nowhere in sight. In the thread, Android's Jean-Baptiste Queru offers the following, as to the question of whether source will ever be made available: 'At the moment I don't have anything to say on that subject.'"

You mean one blue bar across the top and an "install Chrome" button on the top right? That ain't spammy. The MSN homepage, now that's spammy.

An AC writes "Mathematicians invented a new method to can and bottle stout beers like Guinness while still getting that satisfying head. From the article: '... a crack group of mathematicians from the University of Limerick, led by William Lee, has modeled bubble formation in stout beers in detail. Their work suggests that lining the rims of cans and bottles with a material similar to an ordinary coffee filter would be a simpler, cheaper alternative to the widget. The team’s calculations show that a copious number of bubbles would form from air trapped inside the hollow fibers making up this lining. They have just submitted their work for publication in Physical Review E and are hoping that industry will soon begin testing their proposal.'"

I honestly never thought I'd say something positive about Philadelphia, but since moving here I've found one thing:
WMMR. It's online at wmmr.com and they're just awesome. They're a rock station, and recently they've started to play a few more recent bands since Clearchannel killed off the only top 40 rock station in the area a few years ago but still stick mostly to classic rock and hard rock. Their sister station WMGK has more of a classic rock program. All live DJs all the time. Love 'em.
They also have a streaming app for Android and I believe a counterpart for the iPhone. Doesn't matter where you are, you can get WMMR.
