2012/4/2-6/4 [Computer/SW/Languages/Java, Computer/SW/RevisionControl] UID:54353 Activity:nil | 4/02 We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added

be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com

U-verse service? I'm not asking for any lightening-speed connection.

2013/2/19-3/26 [Computer/SW/OS/OsX] UID:54611 Activity:nil | 2/19 I program a lot by sshing to a Linux cluster. So I'm used to using
Xemacs to code. This works fine from a Linux or Windows workstation,
but sometimes I have to use a Mac. On Mac, the meta is usually

2012/3/15-6/1 [Computer/SW/Languages, Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:54340 Activity:nil | 3/15 Why does MS put double-quotes around the '8' in Windows Server 8, like
the following?
- Windows 8
- Windows Server "8"
\_ Because when they didn't do it, code didn't see the '\0'
and went over? Looks better than '8','\0' *shrug*

when the maximum resolution of my monitor changes? When I
use my laptop, my emacs is too big (and I can't resize it
because the bottom-right corner is not accessible).
\_ Which OS? Can't you drag the top border (not a corner) to resize
the height to be smaller?
