Is this intended for the hardcore player? Seems like those guys would have such a customized/assisted setup on their primary machines that they would have no incentive or desire to play on something so restricted as an iPad. Not my product,

I don't think there are any airline points that work across _all_ airlines - if for no other reason than this removes the loyalty incentive that makes FF programs attractive to the host airlines. Generally, the programs that let you use yo

My guess is that this wasn't notable/upvoted because it was written in JS/Canvas, but rather because it was written in only 10K of JS/Canvas.

Doesn't have the depth of information (airports and airlines) that Matrix has, but I'm a big fan of the UI. Also, props for the great customer service (had a very helpful chat with someone) and for the continuous deployment while launching

That's what I get for simply reading the article, as opposed to clicking through - thanks! Now to begin the crusade to get IT to let me install this...

I would love this if it were an Outlook plugin (or even better, a BlackBerry app) - but I'm guessing that the Enterprise market will come much later, if at all. In the meantime - or if you don't use Gmail - I find hitmelater.com is good for

For the cities with multiple airports (DC, NY, Chicago, etc.), just have once choice - "NY" as opposed to "NY - JFK" and "NY - LGA". Your target user seems to be someone who is more interested in getting from point A to point B by the cheap

Or you could download this PDF ( http://www.newmoney.gov/newmoney/files/100_Materials/100_Glo... ) containing a nice large scan of one with some light SPECIMEN text overlaid. As for the Treasury having a problem with it, if you make your

It's worth pointing out that Black sued the Government of the day over blocking his peerage (Black v. Chretien) and lost. So while he may say that it was a personal vendetta that caused him to renounce his citizenship, it's not like he didn

It should more be considered as an opinion/ccolumn, as opposed to a news story (you'll notice it's in the 'Full Comment' section of the paper). It's also not a one-off piece; since he's been in jail, Conrad Black has continued to write thes

I'd be worried about how you're getting the data securely. Even things like Mint.com require you to give up your online banking password, which is still something I'm not all that comfortable with doing. There's also the (longer-term, I con

We do - see details at http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/oca-bc.nsf/eng/ca02179.html . You don't get the score for free, but you do get a copy of your report (all the things listed on there that go into the calculation of the score).

Because their brand isn't better than the competition - it's just different. Old Spice and their competitors all have pretty much the same ingredients (save their scents), and work pretty much the same - and if one is slightly better, it'

Have him call his MP - I can't stress enough how helpful this is (or even better, have someone who's a citizen and lives in the riding call the MP). The vast majority of MPs have someone in their constituency offices who spends 90% of their

Icelandic is, I believe, a Germanic language dating back to the 1200s or so. What I think you're getting at - and one of the cool things about Iceland - is that the language hasn't changed all that much since it was introduced back then. Th

Agree - I travel to some obscure places, and Matrix is about the only online aggregator out there that goes down to the level of sub-regional airline. It also displays (especially in that graphical view) routings that exist, but that the mo

Can individuals who are non-resident non-citizens buy (and more importantly, subsequently trade) individual stocks in companies governed by SEC rules without working through a brokerage house/operation? This isn't rhetorical; I'm not sure o

I'm curious how much their business model is centered around people organically going to their site and thinking "well, I'd like to go out for dinner somewhere - let's see where I can get a table" as opposed to arriving directly on a landin

So why not do it? Find a few empty supertankers (which I'm certain BP can round up if they need to), mount a bunch of large industrial pumps on top of each one, plant them strategically around the leak site, and start sucking up the oil-wat

If they didn't put that in, what would stop a less-than-honorable supplier from low-balling the contract, using rodent-infested wheat, and then suing the DoD when they get their contract canceled because someone finds rat feces in their bro

This is great, but unfortunately assumes you know the exact name of what you're looking for. My suggestion: if the query doesn't return a result using the current algorithm, redirect to a Google query of "%s site:docs.python.org". As an exa

I agree - all they've done is change how the labels are displayed. The 1:many relationship (which is the power of labels, and where Outlook fails) hasn't gone anywhere. Some people don't get labels, and use them like Outlook folders. They w
