There are also much stronger laws (and enforcement practices) around reselling sports tickets in the UK than in the US.

I can't find the direct link, but I remember seeing an article that said the following happens after every Olympics: 1. There is some level of scandal over ticketing 2. The IOC forms a technical committee to look into it 3. The technical co

Celery has it's quirks now and then (for reasons I can't nail down or reliably reproduce, enabling CELERYD_FORCE_EXECV breaks a lot of things), but I consider Ask and the rest of the #celery gang to be models for how to have a welcoming com

It may be serendipity, but I like that pythonweekly comes out on Thursday and pycodersweekly comes out on Friday, as opposed to one massive dump of interesting Python stuff on one day.

WhatsApp has the cross-platform compatibility, but I find it horribly slow and inconsistent compared to BBM. When I send something with WhatsApp, I know it will probably get there, but I'm not sure when, in what order, or at what relative t

This. When it comes to the UN, nothing matter if it doesn't come from the UNSC (and even then, it only really matters if everyone's OK with it). ECOSOC and the ITU have a bunch of treaties underpinning them, but they've all got enough cave-

I like it - but I'd do both. No matter how nice the service gty.im would offer, there would be people out there who wouldn't want to link to the Getty servers, who would just choose to copy/paste anyways, or who would get stopped by the sig

It obviously depends on the numbers involved, but from your brief description nothing sounds wrong. It's pretty hard to "accidentally" stumble onto a Getty image used without a copyright statement which could lead you to think it's free to

Welcome to the professional stock photo industry - that's what shots like that cost to use. If you'd like something cheaper (which generally won't look as good, won't have the metadata searching capabilities you needs as a professional phot

I think this is great - it's either a win or no-worse-than-it-used-to-be, depending on the kind of Getty client you are. If you're a designer at an agency (which would use watermarked photos in their comps, and then purchase proper rights o

For these images, the content creator is Getty ("they" didn't press the shutter button, but they paid for the shoot and own the images) - and they certainly care more about monetization than attribution.

I specifically chose the description "pretty good" (as opposed to "great" or something more flowery) for PyDev, because I think that best summarizes it. It's got a number of issues with it (and it's sometimes as slow as a dog), but for the

Pictures like this often remind me of Don Petit's writeup ( http://blogs.airspacemag.com/pettit/2012/02/earth-photograph... ) about how taking photos from space is much harder than you think it is.

The newspaper headline doesn't matter; what they're aiming for is controlling the message that's shared over coffee between friends, at the water-cooler, on the office IM feed, etc. In that context, all anyone will talk about is cutting the

Creating boxes filled with votes (and swapping them out for actual ballot boxes) would be a lot harder than you'd think. As someone who's spent a lot of time scrutineering elections, here's how the day runs down. 1. I show up before the pol

There's also the fact that in many jurisdictions, things like cube walls can be depreciated like office furniture, whereas building actual walls counts as an improvement on the building - making the cubes even cheaper/more tax-efficient.

I'm not even sure that clear, literate laws would do it. They'd help a huge degree, for certain, but I think the breadth of issues that Congress has to consider would still overwhelm pretty much anyone who wants to deal with it, save those
