Web designers often send me half heartedly formated html that is full of repetitive nested structures that I do not understand. When trying to turn it into a collection of partials I have inevitably destroyed some important tag. Everything breaks and I have to start over.
Turning it into haml has two benefits. I can visualize the structure of repeating elements so I have a better idea what to break into partials and I will never forget a closing tag which causes everything to break in some horrific way.
http://volokh.com/posts/chain_1240849478.shtml is a better link. The content is really in those 3 links at the bottom.
His basic point as I understand it is that there never really was the good old days of the patent system and that it has been broken since long before computers. People have always had to pool patents to make progress.
The problem with bicycles in Northern Va is that the season is too short it is either burning hot and you will die of heat stroke or freezing cold and your fingers and ears get frost bite. I had much more luck walking (2.5 miles) to the metro station and then to work then riding a bike that same distance and it felt much safer. At least with electrics the heat stroke part is fixed.
I have heard that you have to jump through some pretty annoying hoops to prove that you don't have a TV. Since the government just assumes that you actually have one and just don't want to pay.
I thought this was going to be an article about tree houses. I am disapointed. Anyways the most interesting part of this article to me is how you white list chatting. That has some interesting implications and I have never heard of that being used.
I have a Thinkpad running XP and it is fine except every time I resume from sleep I have to repair my wifi connection. In addition for being the "premium windows laptop" it sure comes bundled with a lot of annoying software (password manager that invades every browser installed, another wifi icon for the task bar that is always lit green to confuse the issue, etc)
Beneath these articles is the assumption that Google is making lots of money off of newspaper articles posted online. I don't think this is right. If anyone should be cutting the newspapers a check it should be Slashdot, Digg, Reddit, Hacker News etc. But just like every blog and pony show on the internet the newspapers run ads alongside their stories and they release their content freely to get views. It is hard to have any sympathy.
This is just programming language stockholm syndrome. I like my cell and my kidnappers have my best interest at heart. If I wasn't bound and gagged then I might do something dangerous.
The article basically points out that KDE and gnome both provide convenience methods in launchers that can be used for nefarious purposes and compromise the security that the execution bit provides.
ADA advocates always talk about these safe guards but if its so easy to see how much better and safer it is show us some code. It is telling that the only snippet we see is from c.
Not surprising. This is the same company that gave a substantial portion of its employees a 20% paycut when they were forced to start paying over-time then acted like it was a pay raise because most employees work over 40 hours a week.
I think number two is your best bet but instead of being a sort of shop overseas service, you should make storefronts focused on one of the brands at a time. Try to make your visitors feel like they have just stumbled upon something thats exclusive and secretive and they are sure to tell their friends.
The comments on that blog post are something else. "I would buy Starcraft on the iPhone for $9.99 in a heartbeat." Yeah I would too but it will never happen because starcraft for the computer is still over 10 dollars.
Retailers get charged about 20 cents per 100$ for debit transactions and $1.48 per 100$ for credit. If you say credit with your debit card you are giving your bank that larger cut and getting none of the protections associated with a credit card. Except you probably don't have to enter your pin number which may be important to you.

I was a sweeper at a theme park and I would see people drop things or leave things on benches(cameras, wallets, keys etc) and then run to pick them up. I would say 50% of the time they would thank me and give me a tip. Usually about an hours pay.
