Lots of typos!

Not sure why the documentation isn't included in the readme.

Tells me nothing.

anons2011··on Once-great SSD manufacturer OCZ filing for bankruptcy
When I got my first SSD over a year ago, I bought a 250gb OCZ Agility 3 drive. Not knowing about the very high drive failure rate. It died last week, completely without warning.

Bought a Samsung SSD to replace it.

anons2011··on Web Development: A Crazy World
Quite amusing and very true. Just had a little look at Handlebars - writing 3 to 4 times as much to generate very little.

Also reminds me of this tongue in cheek site : http://html9responsiveboilerstrapjs.com/

anons2011··on dōmo: Markup, style, and code in one language
Personally I see this as completely redundant.
anons2011··on Ask HN: How do you manage issues/bugs, track features
We use Jira.

It includes - user time tracking, bug reporting, you can create Epic issues and add sub-tasks under them. All very useful.

You can also get FishEye to integrate SVN info.

anons2011··on CSS3 Microsoft Modern Buttons
Would be nice if this page - http://ace-subido.github.com/css3-microsoft-metro-buttons/bu... was included in the zip as an html page.

Right...

shows

status: Active nserver: ns1.google.com nserver: ns2.google.com nserver: ns3.google.com source: IEDR

Domaintools.com shows something else

Something else that's worth a look at: http://host.robtex.com/ns1.farahatz.net.html#graph

NeverSeconds blogger Martha Payne school dinner photo ban overturned

Looks like the ban has been overturned.

A victory for free speech and common sense!

anons2011··on Sublime Text 2 - Useful Shortcuts
I've just switch to Sublime after using Notepad++ for front end web dev stuff, it's beautiful. Combined with the Zen Coding plugin and various snippets it's dead handy.
anons2011··on Data.gov.uk overrun by spammers
Askismet?

Do they not at least moderate all the comments first?!

Oops, silly spammer.

anons2011··on CSS arrow please
The demo page is broken in IE8, although it does work when you copy the HTML/CSS to a new file.
anons2011··on High Court: The Pirate Bay must be blocked by UK ISPs
Are we trying to emulate China or Iran? Obviously a block like this for any tech-savvy person is absolutely meaningless.
anons2011··on Copyright wars heat up: US wins extradition of college kid from England
Absolutely disgusting, shame on the US
anons2011··on SOCA has taken control of this domain name.
Indeed, particularly as it would come under civil law and not criminal, if done for personal use. Plus I was under the impression that here in the UK downloading is legal, and it was the uploading that wasn't.

anons2011··on BBC confronts Facebook troll
I watched this last night. On the whole it was a pretty stupid programme with equally stupid people not knowing how to report and block people. Why not just ignore sites like littlegossip, and why have a formspring account.

"I love that the whole thing is narrated like they're tracking down an animal in nature. I loved the end "So, there you go, an internet troll. That's what they look like." Yep, that's what they look like." - this did make me giggle though.

anons2011··on Initializr now includes Bootstrap 2, LESS, H5BP 3 and Modernizr 2.5
Demo missing css/js files.
anons2011··on Why am I never using PrestaShop again, ever
I've had many issues when working with Prestashop. Something as simple as removing the category ids from the URLs was a major pain, there were a few work arounds and one which involved modifying the .htaccess file every time you added a new category. Now this included modifying core files, which made updating PS an issue.

Also importing products was another major let down in Prestashop. Are there was a lot of hacking around the TPL files to get various things working.

anons2011··on List of Websites Monitored by Homeland Security published by Cryptome
No *chan sites on the list?
anons2011··on UK Schools ICT to be replaced by computer science programme
Sorry yes - I was thinking GCSE level and higher.
anons2011··on UK Schools ICT to be replaced by computer science programme
I think this is a great move. Although it would be interesting to see how many people actually take the new subject.

The problem at the moment is as the article says, just get used to Microsoft GUIs and not know anything behind them. And what happens is people do other things in the lesson, as they get bored, or find it to easy so they don't even bother. The whole MS access stuff can be very dull.

They could even bring in sections of web development into the new course, ie setting up a LAMP environment and learning PHP. And not just learning to create table (shudders) based rubbish in Dreamweaver or the like.

Or on the comp sci/software dev side of things learn Java programming for Android. Although I would think that iOS dev would be a step too far at this stage - not sure?

Or maybe start teaching them a high level languages such as Python or Perl to help give them a good understanding of programming practises etc.
