   FYI, If you click the "Add Gradient" button while the "Get CSS Code" dialog is still visible, the "Add Gradient" dialog will pop-in behind the css dialog making it not visible.

   I'd have to agree sadly. "Use android you can do way more stuff with it and install custom ROMS". Too bad they all look like shit, especially the vendor specific UIs. Google really needs to start working on the Android UI and

   Apple products: 1) are very pretty/trendy/fashionable 2) have a very high build quality(no cheap plastic, lots of aluminum) 3) "just work" Honestly 2 and 3 are why I stick with them. After owning a mbp and iphone I can&#

   Not exactly what your'e talking about but you should take a look at Word Lens(which google just bought). Basically you hold your phone up and position it over a piece of text using the camera. It then OCRs the text, translates it, and

   Yea seriously, just get everyone to bring in their old laptops/computers and whatever else they can find to do this. Parallelization is the way to go for a task like this.

   I'd assume that the bottle neck would be I/O if these images are ~30mb as the OP stated in the thread. I don't think you'd see 4x speedups from parallelizing.

   Are cloud providers an option? You could use AWS of Google Compute Engine, setup 150 instances and do it in ~1 day.

    If you want to download a song legally and the only option is a $10 album then yes you are being forced to spend $10 for a song. We can argue the semantics of the word "forced" all day but I'm pretty sure everyone understood

    Python is installed by default on most linux distros, from my experience it is rare if ruby is pre-installed. Python in my opinion is easier to write, and reading it is usually like reading plain english. Python has a much larger community&

    I'd have to agree. From my understanding of that sentence, all programs would "halt" eventually because they all end up doing the highway. So unless your computation somehow ended with the highway then you couldn't run i

    I would rather have people who have actual experience with technology than some lawyer with good connections who can barely use a computer.

    Do you have any experience with Python? IMHO I think python fits that niche better than ruby or perl.

    I don't know if this logic still applies here because Amazon makes it's money primarily off of selling products where Facebook makes it's money from users clicking ads.

    Just started reading GEB[1] after having it recommended by many IRL and on HN/proggit. Thoroughly blowing my mind, would recommend even if you don't have a CS background. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B

    Uh, that "Open Source Server" sounds a lot like a decompiled, obfuscated official server to me.

    In the US it is not common to show a price after sales tax, like it is in Europe with VAT. Also, not all states have the same amount of sales tax and some have no tax at all. It would be impossible to show the prices with sales tax when the

    Walmart uses node.js and it has paid off for them handsomely, I'm pretty sure they fit your definition of enterprise seeing as they have 2 million employees and close to 500 million in revenue yearly. http://venturebeat.com&

    Just imagine if jQuery stopped development. Obviously someone would pick it up but if they didn't there would be a massive number of frontend skill sets becoming out of date.
