I love how the pullout quote "The legibility of the text is only one of Apple’s many design failures" is barely readable because the font is sans-serif all-caps extra-light extra-condensed. (Also serif headings in the middle?)

RE: After three years of hype, you still can't go into a store and buy a 3D headset
You can still order direct. I have an occulus and Google glass, though given the choice I'd return glass in a heartbeat.
This is so much more interesting if you misread it as "octopus". Now having an iOctopus suckered over your eyes, that's the next big trend!

RE: Idiot thinks you should use IRC instead of Slack
I agree that Slackware's ancient startup system, lack of PAM, dependency resolution in the package system, etc., make it an odd choice for … wait what?

RE: Event driven HTML tokenization
Standard SAX approach, move on, nothing to see.

RE: I might be TRWTF
On danger of useful information – GPS receivers can act as a pretty high-stratum timesource, as can dedicated time radio signal receivers. (The buzzterm for me would be DCF-77 to get Ze Offizial German Taime from Fränkföört, this obviously does not scale to leftpondia.)

RE: Sublime Text 2 chokes on long lines
Trying to identify the syntax highlighting to use? (I know that's Emacs' slowest part, but thanks to Eclipse, Emacs is now a lightweight application.)

That looks like what you do at the end of "How a web design goes straight to hell", when the client yells "I gave you sketches, just put them on the web".

Well, that's halfway to the UNIX principle: do one thing and do it well.

RE: My application is Windows!
It's one of the things that sounds brilliant for about five minutes on a very high level, and then sounds some subset of stupid, dangerous, infeasible and impossible. Sure, given enough glue on all sides, a windows box might be able to log me into farcebook and online banking, just based on the fact that I've authenticated to it, yay for real single-sign-on, but tell them their mobile phone needs a lock screen and they're coming at you with pitchforks and torches.

RE: Sofort banking
AFAICT, it's mostly popular because the merchant avoids payment charges and gets a near-instant confirmation they'll get the money (a bank transfer is binding to the customer), and they usually pass that on to the customer by reducing their shipping fees.
But yes, lots of people have said from day 0 that using that violates your bank's T&C. But of course, banks have no interest in losing customers that can't cause fraud complaints anymore due to proven negligence with credentials.

RE: Shit Happened
Yeah, what's the point of the MCT anyway? If you go to the download page and say "oh wait, but this computer is actually not running Windows", you get a download link for an installation iso, no frills required.

RE: Inescapable charity fundraising
Huh. Thought this would be about the fruity company's music app, which now sometimes displays a undismissable splash screen ad. (The dismiss button is loaded from teh webz, it appears. Or not, if you're not online enough.)
Surely subscribing to a fruity streaming service saves the turtlenecks and is therefore charitable?

RE: Your Text Editor Is Malware: Emacs is a garbage fire of security
Oh, they do yet another plugin infrastructure now? That only took how long to borrow from XEmacs? I wonder if it comes complete with broken dependency resolution. It is imperative to have non-functional dependency resolution.
