briankb

briankb

Oct 18, 2014 06:36

rather, how many different answers/questions you can edit

briankb

Oct 18, 2014 06:36

there's a limit on how many edits you can make

briankb

Oct 18, 2014 06:15

briankb

I didn't actually know about cntrl+enter before

@KronoS I'm not so sure that was stealing, rather than just avoiding stupid patents that Sun never intended to enforce. Oracle on the other, is taking the Microsoft route with patents

briankb

Mar 22, 2011 21:51

this is why I don't have a blog!

briankb

Mar 22, 2011 21:21

briankb

Mar 22, 2011 21:21

just Matt's interview

briankb

Mar 22, 2011 21:20

@IvoFlipse depends on what you're looking for. does it have to be a useful answer? you could write about how slipstreaming win7 is a big hairy mess :P

briankb

Mar 22, 2011 21:12

it's a huge mess really

briankb
