I want to design school also. One thing I noticed right away: We were _taught_ those things, but a lot of people didn't _learn_ them. Even near the end of the program, many of my classmates couldn't handle well (or usually just ignored) the feedback they got in group critiques.

Mostly, it was a problem that solved itself. The people who learned to give and take criticism improved a lot more than those that didn't.

I've never worked on a product where timekeeping was essential, but if I did, I'd probably use libtai[1], by DJB.

While it it usually, maybe even almost always, does, I don't think advertising is required to be a distraction.

If I'm searching for information on a product, say, a pair of headphones for my wife or a diet for myself, and I see ads for headphones or diet books, then that advertising can be very beneficial.

The problem comes when, like in the article at hand, there's a product or service, totally unrelated to what I'm searching for, that's being injected in my attention stream.

Arguably, Google's incredible financial success is founded on making that information infinitesimally more likely to be useful to the reader compared to, e.g., prime-time television.

For that to happen, someone has to take responsibility for creating, managing, and distributing those binary packages. That's much easier said than done.

So, the simple answer is that no one has, as of yet, volunteered to do the work.

Most of the time, an actual restart is not required, just logging out and then back in.

And, personally, I'd love to be able to run Xcode on an iPad. With a Bluetooth keyboard it would be practically identical to the laptop I use now, but better for my back and wrists.

It's in their best interests to be picky about who they let in, so the bar is set very high; Usually you need (1) a local employer to sponsor you, or (2) bribe one of the right office employees.

Both of those are beyond the means of most rural peasants. Those who have the money to afford city life but not the right connections to get the right papers will move in anyways, technically illegally.

As long as you don't cross the wrong person and get caught, you can often survive that way for quite a long time.

Disclaimer: My Mandarin is awful, and I'm almost certainly glossing over a lot of details, but that's a rough summary of what I've seen.

Like most things, that's negotiable. When I went looking for a photographer for our wedding, one of the first questions I asked was "How much extra do you want for a copyright assignment?"

The additional charge varied from $0-500. The ladies we chose -- though primarily for other reasons -- were in $0 group.

All practice is merely experience. The only way to practice any skill is to use that skill and get better at it.

I'm not trying to criticize your post, but I hope someone could point out why I read it so wrongly -- if there are attributes why make it more likely to be read that way, or if there's something flawed in my perception.

I would argue that, at most programming jobs coding skill is less important than cultural fit, once you've passed the level of "reasonably competent developer."

You can never know what the company executives or managers might be getting up to, so -- as basic risk management -- you should prepare for catastrophic events.

This cannot be emphasized enough. Do not use your registrar's DNS. Do not use your registrar's hosting. Do not use your host's DNS.

The three elements -- domain registration, DNS, and web hosting -- should be segregated. That way, if you have problems with one, through chance, malice, or incompetence, you can exercise the other two items to work around the issue.

E.g.s:

If your web host is DDOSed, change the DNS entries to point to another host; minimizing downtime.

If your DNS servers are taken offline by legal action against the company that owns them, change the published servers at your registrar.

If your registrar goes bankrupt, your DNS and hosting will continue running smoothly while ICANN handles the domain management.

While you're at it, host your email somewhere different than your webhost. If you're account gets disabled because of a billing mistake, you want to get the email that tells you about it, right?

It's not even that expensive to implement these steps -- $25, maybe $50 per year. If you are at all serious about something on the Internet, spend the extra money!

The Marginal Revolution post doesn't add much to the discussion.

1. Van Orden, Guy C. (1987). A ROWS is a ROSE: Spelling, sound and reading.

2. Binder, K. & Borecki, C. (2007). The use of phonological, orthographic, and contextual information during reading.

3. Ota, M., Hartsuiker, R. J., & Haywood, S. L. (2010). Is a FAN always FUN?

Full texts for all of those are available online.

So, to somebody who learned English as a child -- and is therefore aurally dominant -- the words "they're", "there", and "their" will all basically occupy an overlapping space in their mind. Somebody who learned English later will use textbooks to support the process; Things like contractions will be give special emphasis, etc.

Here's another option -- http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/ -- I'm not sure how it works. It claims to show the display when non-elevated, but require root send input.

The technically correct fix is for the site owner to modify the page to load all these resources over https when the page is accessed over https. Until they do that, as a workaround, you could install an extension like the one mentioned by fl3tch[1] to do it in your browser.

N.B. That only works if the resource is available over https, many are not. In that case there is no fix.

Since your graph header says 'linode', I'm assuming your servers all run Linux, and you should take a look at ionice[1]. It adjusts the IO priority of a process like 'nice' adjusts CPU priority. For example, prefixing your call like this: "ionice -c 3 tarsnap...." will give tarsnap the lowest priority access to the drive.

Fortunately, the format if question is an open specification[1], so you can use a[2] number[3] of[4] tools[5] to convert the OVF to an interim format.

That is, obviously, a pretty ugly workaround.
