was that link supposed to go to something besides a empty search ?

Yeah, it's got a bit of a learning curve, but when you're used to it it's great

It's much easier to shoot yourself in the foot with GIT than HG. The biggest difference HG makes it really hard to permanently delete anything from the repository; GIT assumes you really did want to blow everything away and just stands aside when you start dropping orbital nukes.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Mercurial[^]. Yet another distributed version control system (used primarily at BitBucket, but supported elsewhere). It's usually abbreviated Hg as in the atomic symbol for mercury.

ha! Of course, but note the title in my defense: "HG". Had I seen Hg, I would have made the connection.
thanks

After some (informal) testing of IE11 (on Win8.1) I was won over and set it as my default browser!
However I'm so used to click on the chrome browser icon I still do it.
And then, surprise, right after I set IE11 as the default, the new tab page on chrome, instead of showing the list of most used websites, now show bing search page!!
Worse, after looking at all the setting I can't find how to bring the most used page or delete the bing search! (even did a reset to factory settings!) .. grrrr... :<
Ho, and guess what? IE11 new tab show most used websites!

Microsoft is getting less creative. Even .NET Framework is a copy of JVM.

Ho, look, an Apple fan!
Originality is greatly overrated!
Further yes, C# was indeed caused by Java (most likely), but it's much better! Thanks Sun for giving us C# by preventing Microsoft from modifying Java!

I'm not so Apple fan.
But I agree. C# was just for getting Java developers try .NET.
However here's what make Java a loser: It's somewhat hard to call APIs. In .NET, you just add DllImportAttribute(C#) or use a Declare func(VB.NET).
Out of the Scanner nightmare.

Actually, it's essentially the VB runtimes with a heavy influence of Delphi and some concepts from Java (which weren't all that new there either.)

I mean this most frequent website tabs was very useful, saved me key strokes!
the other one... mm.. I don't even know my google password, not a good start.. :'(
|
|

|

Yeah.
Google never did anything like that, did they?
Nor did apple (as long as you never looked at a page containing a link to a quicktime download).
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Sir David, Lord of Luton, Duke Dalek,
The vicious rumor that William Shaxper of Avon had a "thing" with chickens, either gallicidal, erotomaniacally bestial, or necrophiliac, and not, just the usual gustatory amour-propre: is one the most heinous of the pack of mad-dog lies spread by his jealous contemporaries, and later detractors.
Even though you could, argue that Sonnet #143, written from the point-of-view of a neglected baby whose mother has run-off chasing a chicken, is not only one of his worst sonnets, but also a semiotically coded message about something quite kinky ... and you could argue that all the mentions of cocks crowing in his work could also be suggestive of ... some aspect of concealed emotional, or even sexual, proclivities:
I, and others, who almost "worship" the immortal Bard of Avon, reject all such innuendoes as just suppurating acnaceous pimples (usually grafted by jaded academicians) on the corpus of literature, which William, along with Cervantes, and Rabelais, and Milton, Dante, and so many other demiurges, hold up for our edification.
Another disgusting rumor is that Shakespeare used the term "chicken-scratch" to describe hand-writing, which is absolutely absurd. That phrase comes from a 1909 play by Bostelmann written to discredit Shakespeare's as the author of his works.
What is true is that Shakespeare brought into written usage a vast number of phrases, and words, idioms, and allegories, metaphors, and similes, analogies, and cunning punts of the living English language, with its vitality, vigor, and improvisational richness. A scholarly friend of mine estimates that Hamlet, alone, brought over six-hundred new usages into the written canon.
So, I invite Thee, me Lord, to, prey, consider that William's thing with Gallus Gallus, whatever it was, is as trivial a bit as a piece of a chick's down tossed hither and thither by the four winds, and all the noise made about whether the Bard was all-in for thigh, or breast, mere scrawny hen's clucking.

Well, Seventh of the Ejog, that's progress for you; stay with me through the trials and tribulations you encounter on the Path of Slack, and don't forget to present generous gifts frequently, and you may achieve being lost with the first word: at that point, you will be ready to continue Slackisme on your own, safely.
No smoke here, but the air did seem kind of clammy, tonight, in my favorite local pub [^].
For some reason they didn't have the northern Thai chicken-feet soup, Tom-Saab Super Teen Gai, on offer tonight, so I came home early to replace some of the nails in my head with sharper ones, because I am really meticulous about not being blunt.
