Look at Pooter's comment history. He/she has been banned for some reason.

I'm not entirely sure what she's suggesting since I'm reading the slides without any context, but it seems, given the thing about cutting down css file size for Facebook, the method she's suggesting reduces duplication in the actual css file.
Do most people lack those necessary skills? I'm not really sure.
[1]: For the purpose of the argument, ignore prosthetics. AFAIK, there isn't anything similar to prosthetics for someone that lacks certain necessary abilities to be an "expert" programmer.
Also in the guidelines: "Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did."
So, according to him, it is lightweight enough to run on mobile devices. I'd imagine there are also several optimizations that can be done (leveraging multi-core chips or GPUs, for instance) to make the performance significantly better than the prototype he's demonstrating now. Also, taking into account Moore's Law, we may not be able to run this on today's mobile devices, but surely could on tomorrow's. Given that research is generally a few years ahead of industry, I would expect that, by the time this would come to market, the devices will be more than capable.
I guess they just didn't remove the conflicting text in their footer.
To put it differently, think of an algorithm that's constant time, but has a very large constant and an algorithm that's O(n). The constant time algorithm will be worse for small sets, but better for large sets (once n > that constant). That's the problem with teaching OO to people new to programming. You're adding an additional thing to an already difficult topic, and that thing you're adding doesn't really benefit you at that level of problem, but get to a bigger problem, and it starts to make sense.
I haven't bought a pack in two weeks now, mainly due to switching to e-cigarettes. If you're interested in quitting, the e-cigarettes worked better for me than the gum and patch. Don't know how long this will last (hopefully won't buy another pack ever again), but it's not been nearly as excruciating as quitting any other way.
Funnily enough, I've never heard anyone mention it before this whole ruckus, even though installing Xcode was a requirement to get gcc in the past. No one has taken the time to build it themselves with the source that Apple gives out for free and host it for those that don't want to install Xcode.
It's kind of a shitty argument, though, if you ask me. I don't follow the Android market all that closely, but it seems competitors are, in fact, doing things to differentiate themselves, even if they share the same core OS.
A buddy/former co-worker of mine works out of there, and he seems to really enjoy it.
FWIW, you've caused one rabid Pandora fan to give it a look.
OkCupid seems to be at the forefront in this space. They get people in India to rate the attractiveness of new members and use that to limit your access to people significantly more attractive than you are.
Is this common knowledge? I'm shocked if it's true, but I'm sort of thinking there should be a [citation needed] after that.
I'd imagine how welcoming people are to others in poly relationships largely depends on where you are. People in El Paso, TX (where my friend and I live) are likely less open to that sort of thing than people elsewhere.
