Let's not forget about the obnoxious deaf person with all of those hand gestures!

And how exactly is a NASA scientist an expert of Chinese spy satellite technology? Just wondering.

Editor lag was not a problem for me, I'm running with lesser hardware... Hmm.

2 years ago I used eclipse & got sick and tired of the installation "eating" itself & needing re-install on a monthly basis.

1 year ago I used eclipse & got sick and tired of it just being too damn slow. As others have mentioned the start-up time sucked but I didn't care much about that. The real deal breaker for me was how slow it is during regular use. If you've ever tried to work with a large "enterprise" project (with 1000s of individual files), you'll know what I mean.

Today, I use IntelliJ / IDEA. It rocks. Still not as snappy as VS, but hands down a better experience for me then eclipse. I'm not going back.

...give that guy a raise!!

Look, I can defeat the lock by kicking the door in! It must be an insecure design.

You're kidding, right?

Turn the contrast up and the brightness down on your monitor. I think that would be pretty close.

Tell that to AT&T.

Quoting the summary, "unofficial tethering methods like MyWi and PDANet"... Through apple, AT&T knows what apps you have installed. If you have MyWi or PDANet installed, and you're using a larger-than-normal amount of bandwidth, then they'll claim you are tethering.

I suppose you could, but it'd really ruin your reception. As long as you have the need for a functioning antenna connected to the device, stray signals will be received as well as transmitted. Not to mention that your idea would increase the build cost in a way that most manufacturers would deem "unnecessary".

Just as described in some of the prior posts, I'd prefer UploadStream and DownloadStream. But if for some reason you don't want to use those names, how about StreamToServer and StreamToClient ?

I've got a 48" LCD that is used daily. Also an old P4 Xeon machine (call it the space heater) running 24/7. That and the other usual stuff (laptop, stereo, kitchen appliances, washing machine, electric dryer, clocks, various chargers, etc.) The only common amenity that I am without is the dishwasher.

My normal power consumption is about 400-500 kwH per month. Granted I do have a gas furnace and water heater. Of course during the summer, during the months when I am running two A/C units pretty much constantly, it does rise up to about 1700 kwH.

But anyways 500 kWH is not at all uncommon, and is not indicative of living "in a one-room shack with a single LED lightbulb and a Mac mini".

Surprised nobody has suggested denyhosts yet. I used to get my port 22 knocked on at an average of once per second, for months. For convenience I didn't feel like changing my ssh port, and it didn't worry me much because it is my personal machine with root login turned off, and with good passwords on all other login accounts. But as someone else mentioned, it filled my logs and made it hard to notice the more important things... After installing denyhosts, the ssh dictionary attacks were blocked almost immediately and almost entirely.
