Awesome. How many pre-orders do you have?

From the article: "Note that we don't have an Opera 14 build ready for tablets yet: we're still working on various tablet-specific UI optimizations, and this will be released later on."

Have you ever thought what the people at the food industry eat? Do the C levels at General Mills and Mars eat all that cereal and candy? Do the McDonalds people eat at McDonalds? What are the diets of leaders in the food industry vs the diets of leaders in technology?

Donald Thompson looks like he might have a BMI above Larry Page.

Also not sure how the price of food is near zero? Are you implying that the cost now is near zero because I don't have to go out and kill a cow, nor do I have to farm and scavenge? So cost as in physical cost? Because breakfast and lunch today were not near zero and I have noticed the cost of milk and eggs going up, not down.

Interesting that the Egyptian Army and Reuters are friends on Facebook. Though I suppose the Army must have a page on FB for recruitment purposes. Are they really using FB as an official information sharing portal about news like this?

Looks like a recruitment tool: https://www.facebook.com/Egyptian.Armed.Forces

Official page? http://www.mmc.gov.eg

(compare that to http://www.army.mil which looks like a news site)

Possible that because of the instability recently Eqyptian authorities think Facebook is more capable of serving web pages than their own sites? Why is an Army spokesperson talking about an event handled by the coast guard?

The ISP, Link Dot Net, does not have any English information about the event on their web page: http://www.link.net/English/Linkcorp/News+and+Events/

Apparently last week another Egyptian ISP had an issue as well: http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/67894/Egypt/Pol...

Nothing on their webpage: http://www.tedata.net/eg/en/About-Us/News-And-Events

Also discovered that a lot of Egyptian websites have not had any updates to their news pages since late 2012.

Get rid of the multiple timezones in the USA while we're at it.

" By taking a not-for-profit approach and using freely available open-source tools, Saanich officials expect to develop openStudent for under $5 million, with yearly maintenance pegged at less than $1 million."

They estimate that using their old software would cost $100mm over ten years. They're reducing that to roughly $15-20mm.

Government software is lovingly expensive. The state I live in spent over $30mm to rebuild a purchasing application. And it doesn't even work!

Go figure.

Good luck FogCreek.

Or 5 years of experience with something that has only been out for 2 years.

Which airport was this? I fly 4-6 times a week and opt-out every single time. Never once been told no. They try to convince me sometimes to go through the scanner but still refuse.

Why do I have to log in with a Facebook or twitter account when this is for Netflix? is there no way to just have a goodfilms account and then sync my Netflix?

Neither. Linus has a problem, I demonstrate that Microsoft has already solved it.

Maybe we should mix Windows in: http://ewams.net/?view=Linus_Should_Use_Windows_7

Sources?

Has anyone else noticed all of the "I had to" or "There was no other option" for their rational? It sounds like you are addicted to drugs! Is the media you are consuming really that good? Do you have to take a hit everyday? Are you addicted to TV, movies and music? Sure sounds like it to me.

The article states that "a source" claims she was not treated how a normal person at that level should be.

Put contact information in your profile.

Ah yes, contracts, a fake warm and fuzzy. So what happens at 72 hours and one minute when neither of your suppliers can get to your location because the roads are blocked?

Or they have no employees because they are taking care of their families or even injured from the storm?

Or they oversubscribed their service and don't have enough fuel?

Or it is commandeered for the greater good?

Many a company have relied on "contracts" and used them as assurance that a service will be available only to be shown otherwise.

I am in West End Dallas and there is one on my hotel. Different text but same website.

Bob Schieffer had a similar story where he was trying to get a job and went in to CBS's headquarters looking for someone high up to talk to. When he said his name was Bob the secretary responded that he was early but to go ahead and go in. He did an interview (more like good ol boys talk apparently), got the gig at CBS and ran out of there not knowing what just happened. Supposedly he found out years later that he had walked in before a Bob Shaffer (spelling similar, I may be wrong on it).

Source: He gave the commencement speech at RIT and told this story.

Just use Opera. Opera Link has automatically kicked bookmark butt for a while.

Your description reminds me of cassandra, though it is not the answer to your question.

Scansnap uses abbyy software and it is very accurate, regardless of the topic of your item because it analyzes the letters not the words.

Texas doesn't have income tax.

Don't dismiss a technology because of one hardware vendor's poor implementation.

The submitter obviously did not even read the article. The title is false:

"Asked whether it knew who had carried out the attacks, Sony responded with a single word: No."

How do you know I am not the one calling and just trying to get information about your business since you are one of my main competitors?

$350 a month for an unmetered 1 gbps connection? That is cheaper than you can get it at a colo. Anyone want to get an apartment there with me and split the cost? Contact in profile. Nooga Apartment Colo servers :)
