The mixed bag of syntax highlighting







The mixed bag of syntax highlighting

The mixed bag of syntax highlighting 12/02/2003 12:58 AM

Like so many other programmers, I use a syntax-highlighting editor. (Well, OK, I'm an emacs user, so technically I'm using a syntax highlighting operating system, but we'll let that one slide) I have noticed one interesting thing about using it, though--I comment my code less. I noticed this the other day when I printed out the code for the compiler module I'm working on. In the editor, with colored highlighting enabled, it makes sense what's going on, and everything's reasonably obvious. On paper, though, in black and white with no highlighting the lack of comments was much more obvious, and...

Advanced Google syntax


Advanced Google syntax 07/05/2004 06:17 AM
Here's a good guide to some undocumented and/or obscure Google search operators:
If you start your query with allinurl:, Google restricts results to those containing all the query terms you specify in the URL. For example, [ allinurl: google faq ] will return only documents that contain the words "google" and "faq" in the the URL. This functionality can also be obtained through the Advanced Web Search page, under Occurrences.

In URLs, words are often run together. They need not be run together when you're using allinurl:.

In Google News, the operator allinurl: will return articles whose titles include the terms you specify.

Syntax Olevia 20" LCD TV with VGA

Syntax Olevia 20" LCD TV with VGA
Connection
07/14/2004 09:59 AM

olevia_lcd_tv_20.jpg imageSyntax Groups has announced a new 20-inch version of its Olevia LCD TV, which while not the most attractive piece of hardware, does continue the Olevias' tradition of including a VGA connection for use with PCs -- something that should be, but often isn't, standard on an LCD television. Sure, a 20-inch monitor with a resolution of only 800 by 600 isn't going to blow anyone's socks off, but if you're going to drop $700 on what is essentially a monitor, it's nice to have the option to use it as you please.

Olevia has also announced an upcoming 32-inch television with a low-response time to help alleviate image blurring (16ms) and a more reasonable 1366 by 768 resolution.

Full press release after the jump.

Syntax Olevia LT52HVi


Syntax Olevia LT52HVi 04/05/2005 11:30 AM

LT42HVi_.jpgSyntax is preparing to launch another Olevia flat-screen LCD television, this one a 42-inch widescreen with a 1,366 by 768 pixel resolution and an 8ms response time (pretty decent, as these things go). The biggest thing, though, is that it's Syntax's first HDTV with a built-in ATSC and HDMI tuner, meaning it's effectively a plug-and-play solution (previous models required an external tuner). Expect to see the LT42HVi in June for around $3,700.

I like the black bezel, too. It's definitely nicer looking than the old silver models.
