Re: Sun VirtualBox

Hmm. Didn't think of that.

My main use for this is testing web sites -- css and javascript on Windows-only browsers. So just having a sandboxed VM works just fine.

I can see how USB/device access would be great for more advanced uses, but fortunately I don't need it (at least, not at this point).

Ah, if the free version only supported USB.

Well, no; I don't think it is capable of some of the Parallels features; drag & drop, etc. But still; very good. I'll have to scan the manual and see if there is more I could do with it.

Is it as good as Parallels? VirtualBox does do the VM thing as well as VMWare or Parallels, but it doesn't provide the same level of 'native integration of windows apps' last time I looked. Of course, that could just be because my host box is Linux.

As individuals I think by learning something new it expands and improves who and what we are. Everyone should keep learning and never stop.

Probably one of the hardest things anyone can do is try and learn something new. Congrats to anyone who tries.

Excellent point. I wish I had more to add than that, sorry, but I really wanted to leave a comment!

Re: Blizzard closes my unused World of Warcraft account for being “exploitative”

Taylor — Tue, 12 May 2009 09:03:11 -0000

I don't think I have the same problem, but something similar.
I hadn't been on my WoW account for about a week and they said I had been advertising something non-relating to WoW.
So, I try to log on the website it says a Temporary closure.
When I log in the game game I get a message that says it has been closed permanently. Making any sense? I didn't think so.

Re: The Term “Hacker” as Shibboleth

philcrissman — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 08:57:11 -0000

That's a great point. The traditional "Shibboleth" would render group membership obvious simply by it's pronunciation, even in the more modern sense by it's mere use.

That said, in using of the term "hacker", it's seldom takes very long to see in which sense the speaker/writer is using it, so if not a shibboleth, it seems quite close. A litmus test, perhaps, but shibboleth just sounds far cooler. ;-)

Re: The Term “Hacker” as Shibboleth

mrben — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 04:05:52 -0000

Does it count as a shibboleth if you cannot actually distinguish between the groups by the word, only by their understanding of it's meaning?

Interesting, all the same. :)

True the site doesn't say much about supported languages; but it states it's compatible with (or at least, designed to be compatible with) textmate bundles, of which there are quite a few.

Heavily in development, yes. Still, looks very promising.

Re: Redcar

mrben — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 05:05:19 -0000

Does look nice, although heavily in development, and details are sparse as to what languages it supports....

Hi Phil, If you go to iTunes shop and type in 'David and Dale Garratt' you will find some albums there to purchase and download on to your hard drive.

Every blessing

Re: Can We Stop Versioning the Web, Already?

Rob Chant — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 21:09:04 -0000

Hehe... no, I didn't think you were.

It's just funny that my post was sparked off by being annoyed at the whole "web x.x" thing in the first place, and then a lot of people thought I was advocating it!

Re: Can We Stop Versioning the Web, Already?

philcrissman — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 12:40:28 -0000

Hey Rob. Yeah, wasn't knocking your post, per se, though I guess seeing 'web 4.0' written down is part of what sparked it.

I can be a bit of a cynic at times, but I still enjoy watching the web grow & evolve. I'd just rather wait till it evolves to pin a name on the next evolution.

Re: Can We Stop Versioning the Web, Already?

Rob Chant — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 11:06:40 -0000

I quite agree. The point of the post was really a call to action around the idea that would could be doing so much more with the web, and using technology as a driver is really isn't helping!

The whole "Web 4.0" thing was a bit unnecessary really. It just seemed like a decent hook to hang the idea on, but in retrospect I should have made the satire more obvious. Oh well. Luckily, my blog doesn't exactly have a massive readership!
