Probably each song or song fragment requires a video, hence "ton of videos".

A high salary, a hot girlfriend, nice house in Hawaii.

Good relationship with parents.

I'd say that is a lot to give up, in order to take the risk of being a whistleblower.

Yes, I was mystified as well and had to Google it.

Not a commonly used acronym, at least in my circles.

I searched the article for a "first use" definition or expansion, to no avail. I guess the readership knows it well.

Even Hollywood movies now have a global perspective, with storyline and characters that allow people in different regions to identify and own the experience.

Wonder why CoD has not caught up with the times.

There is also the example of Evo Morales of Bolivia, who chose not to move into the Presidential Palace, and still lives in the same small modest apartment with his wife and roommates.

See picture of the apartment here: http://estaticos03.elmundo.es/suplementos/imagenes/2006/05/0...

So are you saying that 14 years is not a long prison sentence?

By the way, that is about 10% longer than the average prison sentence for bank robbery in the US. See http://www.popcenter.org/problems/robbery_banks/4

Minetest is a C++ based Minecraft-style simulation with a clean API for modding -- with a nice little ecosystem of mods.

(I am not affiliated with them. I just downloaded it a few months ago and have been tinkering with it.)

I like this free online version, which shows side-by-side original with corresponding English translation (derived from Lionel Giles work in 1910). The Chinese version shows characters with tooltip-style dictionary entries. Very useful if you are trying to learn the language.

Yes. It is a cartel selling internet plumbing to technologists (bigco IT departments) and clue-challenged business-types as if this were some kind of perfect marketing strategy.

Best spend the money (USD 500K+) on SEO, or on simply improving the content and freshness of your existing site.

New happy hunting ground for scams, phishing, typosquatting, etc.

I also have fond memories of MacPaint. Don't know when it was removed. Nowadays, when I need a quick paint program on a machine (Mac or PC), I use Sumopaint ( http://www.sumopaint.com/app/ ). It uses Flash and is pretty powerful, not simple but easy enough to use.

But aren't the password and the salt hashed together?

So a password with different salts will result in a different hashes. Therefore you have to know the salt in order to guess the password (for offline matching against a dataset of hashed passwords retrieved from a target site). Ideally, every password will have a different salt, and the dataset of salts is stored separately from the dataset of hashes.

Or am I missing something? (Genuine question, because this is not my area of expertise).

This is similar to .travel top-level domain. Someone thought it was a good idea, just like .museum.

Since 2006, the travel.travel registry has sold 200,000 .travel domains. I am a heavy user of travel sites (Expedia, Hipmunk, hotel sites, etc). I have never, in the course of my online usage, ever run into a .travel site.

This is why gTLDs are likely to fail. At least for users and for purchasers of subdomains, not necessarily for the registrars.

EDIT: added Wikipedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.travel

I agree with your comment that HTML by itself is insufficient for a rich user experience. But my post talked about both HTML and CSS. These two, plus the minimum amount of Javascript code necessary to deliver a rich experience.

Nowadays, there's a lot that can be done with modern CSS that in the past required Javascript code -- from dynamic menus to 3d effects to responsive web design. This is a good thing.

Code is a breeding ground for bugs (especially dynamic code with callbacks, evals, unusual inheritance model, unconventional scoping rules, etc) in a way that declarative rules are not.

If that's the case, then why not use one of the many static Web site generators? Combined with a simple CSS library like Pure.io for some of the UI elements.

It is possible that some more complex UI elements (say a Calendar) will have to be done in Javascript, but that seems like a worthwhile tradeoff for simplicity, efficiency, and maintainability.

Yes, it seems like added complexity and reduced performance for uncertain benefit.

The whole point of HTML and CSS is to be declarative, non-procedural ways of specifying presentation and UX behavior. The rationale is that designers writing CSS rules is safer than developers writing Javascript code -- for those cases where the desired result can be achieved with either approach.

So why turn back the clock and go back to messing with code and debugging it? Unless I am missing something, heavy-weight pages with potential for bugs does not seem like a win.

Actually it is possible there were net jobs gained, when you add the increases to national security apparatus.

I think you can draw those conclusions: if you move here you can expect to double your current salary.

Not covered by the poll is the fact that your living expenses will likely more than double, especially if you have to use a car to get to your job. Your vacation time will be cut in half. Health care expenses may rise. Bottom line is be prepared for some decline in your current standard of living.

At the same time, you have the possibility of lottery-style winnings if your employer becomes the next Facebook. Hmm, perhaps you might be better off buying a real lottery ticket.

Code requires a programmer to design, write, and maintain. Sometimes writing code is necessary, but often all that is needed is simple data, not complex code.

HTML is data. It has value in not requiring programmers to write it. Instead it can be written by designers, or generated by other programs, including visual tools. Yes, code can also be generated by tools, but writing code to generate code is a more difficult task than writing code to generate data. Except for Lisp of course, where code and data are the same.

Two assumptions you're making:

1) That English is the poster's native language

2) the poster did not use auto-correct

Also left unexplained is why Adobe needs to constantly update Reader. The PDF spec has not changed in forever. Why should this software need updating if there are no changes in functionality or spec compliance?

Isn't Netflix hosted on AWS?

Interesting distinction.

One related example is the sculpture in downtown Portland, Oregon, called Portlandia. The City owns the sculpture, but the artist owns the rights to any images of it, and he does not allow pictures to be taken and reproduced. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portlandia_(statue)

Regarding Jony Ive, I disagree that he has been very open about his work and process. I think he rightly has become a legend, but it has happened without him seeking the spotlight. The spotlight has found him, instead.

Some items of note:

1) They tout 2 successful exits out of 22, and feel compelled to say that one of those exits was "1.5 times the organization's initial investment". Seems like lackluster result rather than shining success.

2) They mention Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (a government agency?), that has "contributed $1 million to our organization". If it is a contribution, can this be viewed as another 11% (of the total $9M fund) on top of the 8% fee?

Instead of a liquid, it could be filled with solid plastic, similar to the fake glasses of liquid you see in joke shops.

And perhaps a subtle label on the surface, for someone who notices that the container does not really have sloshing-around liquid in it: "No water required"

Voodoo is in your mind, perhaps, but not those who found it interesting which apps use NSTextView and which don't.

Right now, Sublime seems to be the only one. Anyone care to try TextMate?

There are plenty of people on the right whose day jobs involve addressing the issues that Chomsky addresses. They do not lack space, either in terms of disk storage on Web servers, and column-inches on hard copy publications. What they lack are logic, facts, and a cohesive conceptual framework.

Agree. In another time, he would be a moderate Republican, in the time when the Republican party allowed moderates.
