Moonlight is a joke. They're not even close to releasing v3 yet, and Microsoft already have v4 of Silverlight out. The only practical use for Moonlight most of the time is for displaying a "You need to upgrade to a newer version of Silverlight" message.

You can choose what it syncs, from a list of bookmarks, passwords, preferences, history and tabs.

What about Mozilla Weave? So far as I can tell, it encrypts the data before it uploads it, so Mozilla only get to see the encrypted data.

As someone with Asperger's, my experience has shown it to be much the opposite.

I have developed certain behaviours when it comes to dealing with people, but they still require me to be conscious of the situation. As soon as I stop doing so, I usually slip back into my old behaviours.

Not really, you can be influential and still a liar. Remember this is NewsCorp we're talking about here.

They don't sue for downloading, they sue for "making available".

Are you referring to the login process or recieving emails? When logging in, the periods are significant, it's only when deciding which account an email is intended for that Gmail ignores periods, but that may not apply to Google Apps.

The periods don't get stripped out, but you can add them (and probably remove them) wherever you like and they'll still get sent to the correct account. If someone has the account abc@gmail.com, then no one can register another account called a.b.c@gmail.com because gmail views them as the same.

I'm pretty sure they developed launchd internally, and that's open source.

iPhone has has the ability to tether in the UK since 3GS came out. O2 sell plans with "unlimited" data, but if you want to tether, you have to pay another £15 per month (on top of the £35 per month contract) for 5Gb of tethered data transfers.

If I'm a Ruby developer am I aware that in a .NET language if I add two strings together in c# "Hello" + "World" It constructs a new immutable string. But if I do String.Format("{0}{1}","Hello","World" it is much faster and uses less memory?

I'd hope you didn't believe that at all. I can't really speak in terms of memory usage, but in terms of CPU time, using String.Format() as you described is actually takes around 50 times as long as simply using the + operator.

James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.

Maybe so, but GP seemed to think that a mac client implied a possible Linux client, whereas a mac client is just business as usual for Blizzard.

Not going to happen. Blizzard games have always been Mac + PC.
