I don't see the connection to being sent to war: It seems like you are trying to say "because this (war) is more unpleasant, you have nothing to complain about", which makes no sense.

They don't see the potential impact of associating a particular username from a jobs website with an email address?

I would be concerned about more targeted phishing attacks: I tend towards using my real name as my username on job websites, and given a list of usernames and emails, I'm very sure you could produce some more believable phishing emails than regularly received.

Edit: Thinking more on this, it would be reasonable in any of these email + username exposures to simply apply a filter of common names, and then use them in a more legitimate looking email. I don't see much of this in my spam (my email address is firstnamelastname@domain.com, and my first name is common), so I would take a stab and say that perhaps the number of people likely to fall for this would not significantly increase with improvement in the quality of the initial email.

0day vuln in convincing windows to auto-install the device drivers.

I had a quick look, and I can't see where the EFF accepts donations in Facebook Credits, Xbox Points or Farmville Farm Coins.

(Removed section related to your original comment).

Why shouldn't they? It seems perfectly reasonable to exclude customers if they are unprofitable: in this case, it may be that google is willing to take a hit in the short term, with the view to allowing them to strongly innovate in the future.

In what respect? For the average person, its likely irrelevant (its a micro-detail you simply don't need to care about: you would be more interested in "made from oats" or "made from rice" (irrespective of the products gluten content)).

Extension in that they are "smooth", but physically, they are separate pieces of hardware (the light intensity of each can be set independently for instance).

The built in dev tools are comparable (and personally, better) than the full firebug plugin. firebug lite doesn't quite cut it.

You can see the direct result of that: lots of ajax'y functionality, and the reduction of full page refreshes.

Its not something that could be changed from the current "default" without high risk of big impact.

There would be need to introduce a new header to trigger SSL based caching, and migrate towards simply not sending the old/normal cache header.

probably a small cluster of w2k8 servers? I doubt ms would be using anything else.

That is very much false. I just installed a new motherboard, and I simply needed to re-activate.

For a long, long time now, MS services (not directly tied to Hotmail itself) have required a Live account only, which can be created with any email address.

It's a shame it's a ROM flash, and not an app available for rooted phones. I don't think I'm willing to give up cyanogen's features.

Very impressed that you could survive on so little. Its inspired me to look into orgainsing something similar in the coming week.

I think the meaning was more towards "12 eggs is ~= the price of 750ml of egg whites."

Where where you living at the time?

I am from Sydney, and I have been told by friends from other states that the food prices here are much higher than anywhere else: even Melbourne (for non-aussies: a similarly sized city - 4 mil inhabitants vs 4.5 mil in Sydney).

I really hate when designers use flash for basic text elements without some sort of backup text behind it. My proxy blocks flash, and this results in a very broken website.

Why not something more easily understood by everyone:

"You are now aware that you are breathing".

I think the implementation here is quite interesting; pigeonholing it into the idea of a "filter" is probably missing the point.

Thanks for the clarification, I mis-understood the pricing table. The total would then be ~$50USD, still a unpleasant price (NB. I don't think the price is unreasonable for the service, just something "hidden" in the blog post: If it was closer to $20USD, it would be less of a shock.)

From what I can work out, shipping internationally is going to set me back ~$65USD, pretty much doubling the price.

  $25  : join fee.
  $15  : monthly fee (cancel immediately).
  $50  : shipping fee (assuming its about 500grams or so).
  -$25 : credit/discount from wakemate.
  = $65

Yes.

An equally valid answer without any justification to back it up.

Also, the book licence is very permissive.

    "This book is Copyright (C) 2010 by Zed A. Shaw. You are free to distribute this book to anyone you want, so long as you do not charge anything for it, and it is not altered. You must give away the book in its entirety, or not at all."

As such, if you can't afford to buy yourself a copy with the above coupon code, send me an email at (gregorylyons@gmail.com) and I will send you a copy.

If you are going to buy his book, use the code "SPRINGREAD".

Can anyone see a github wrapper with some nice UI making version control for the average user more palatable?

Perhaps github are positioning themselves to take on dropbox in the near future.

http://vanillaforums.org use the format as a functional component. @Username in a post will (per target user settings) send them an email with a link to the post. Great way to drag specific people in to a thread.

Last time I looked at them was a while ago, but with mac book pro vs thinkpad, the mac book pro is significantly more expensive.

You need 500 or 600 now I think. I lost the ability a few months ago. No great loss :)

The only thing you (likely) cant achieve with plain old html + javascript there is if the Flash is actually editing the audio itself (and is not just getting a server to do it).

I don't think thats a very common requirement: there are other, much more straight forward barriers to replacing flash with html + js, such as lack of dev/designer skills (ie. number of people whom can do that in flash vs whom can do it in html + js).

Thats a bit unfair on NearlyFreeSpeech: the first gigabyte is a dollar, but the second is $0.870, and it drops from there.

From [2] in the parent post: After you've transferred You get up to 1 GB 1GB / $1 ($1.00 / GB) 10 GB 2GB / $1 ($0.50 / GB) 100 GB 3GB / $1 ($0.33 / GB) 1,000 GB 4GB / $1 ($0.25 / GB) 10,000 GB 5GB / $1 ($0.20 / GB)
