I'm quite a fan of Google products but, unfortunately, I was more relieved than bothered when they announced the shutdown of Google Code. I used Google Code to prepare a portfolio repository about a year before I started applying for jobs. A few months before the job fairs started I discovered GitHub and I never…

Just. Wow.

I played this game. Got it in one of those GBC cartridges that featured multiple games. I bought it because of Pokemon Crystal and the other games were like added value for my money.

I think he's trying to give the impression that politics ("software politics" to be exact with the author) is something CS people don't really pay attention to. It's a popular image that CS people/programmers have a touch of Asperger's so dealing with other people—-politics—-is something they are loathe to do. 666 —>…

Are these really Minecraft clouds? Or is this 'shopped?

Beginner instruction (and maybe, education)

memeface mod? or just my active pareidolia?

Umm...isn't this emacs?

It's C-sharp, after the musical notation that says "higher pitch"*. They want to convey that it is an upgrade to C.

To keep your book intact, put it in a Ziploc bag before putting into your backpack or briefcase. Alternatively, if you have enough room, you could also put the book in a rectangular-shaped lunch box or other plastic container.

This broken shield is a really cool touch! :)

So we know that Missingno is stored in the game, and we know that there's a patch of land that can potentially let you encounter Missingno. But why? This is where the old man glitch comes in. When you let the man show you how to capture a Pokémon, the game temporarily changes a player's name to "Old Man." It still…

Wow a local brand at Lifehacker. Or are they not so local anymore? XD

This is why I like Head First books. I've heard people call them informal, shallow, and (the illustrations) distracting. Heck they even use the much-hated Comic Sans. But I find that the experience of reading HF books drives the point home.

Skyrim! The first game that came to my head when I saw "Alt+Tab" and "Full Screen Games" in one title! Thanks a lot for this tip. :)

I follow a similar system but I use a clear sheet of paper instead of the front of the book. This doubles as a bookmark which I leave in the book after I've read it. From what I have so far, I can see that my system works better for me since, if the book is really good, there's a lot of it I would like to note.

AAAAAARRRGGGHHHH THE SPINE IS BENDING!!!!

My experience with Android development is that the mere resources (time and computing power) needed to run the emulator is way too much. Sure you can get "Hello World" up and running in no time but throw in a few APIs or more into your project and the situation quickly degrades to xkcd 303 (or worse). The alternative…

Negative white space is...negative. :C

Windows XP! <(O.o)>
