Or better yet, buy a desktop or laptop with no software whatsoever and install Linux!

Comment on OS X 10.5.7 - /etc/hosts, no! dscl, yes! by jona

Thanks for the tip … this is how you would type these dscl commands as a single command from the shell:

sudo dscl . create Hosts/192.168.112.2o7.net IPAddress 127.0.0.1
sudo dscl . delete Hosts/192.168.112.2o7.net

sudo dscl /Local/Default create Hosts/192.168.112.2o7.net IPAddress 127.0.0.1
sudo dscl /Local/Default delete Hosts/192.168.112.2o7.net

Comment on DiggBar Controversy, But What About Facebook? by Anj

The main difference, as I see it, is that Digg and Facebook ostensibly do not serve the same purpose. Digg is social news and is only as good as its links, whereas Facebook is all about revealing your personality. Since Digg is all about the links submitted, the outrage makes sense, in that visitors are following the links (Digg surely isn’t known for its comments), but seeing the Diggbar. Contrast that with Facebook, where its all supposed to be part of “you” - your status is what you are thinking about and may include a link.

Comment on CSS Frameworks Comparison Chart by Spratte

Glad to see this blog up and running. Got you in my RSS feeds now.

From design point of view, the issue I’ve had with 960.gs is that the structure they offer doesn’t give me enough margin. Even with the 16 I can work around it to some degree, but. . . and keep in mind this is from a print designer who’s made the move to doing more web work. . . it feels like a limitation.

Granted I haven’t worked with YUI CSS. Largely because the learning curve looked like the worst part of Everest, but I’ll check it out. Keeping in mind I still like sketching rough layout ideas on grid paper. . . .

I’ve found this to be a great asset for me from a design perspective. http://www.thegridsystem.org/

When I get stuck or just need to look at things from a different angle, I’ll pop in over there and see if I get inspired.

What about making complete list of all the Frameworks? There many new CSS Frameworks I build (Emastic, Malo, The Golden Grid) , there is also the old YAML.
