(Caveat: IANAL) He says in the article they're expecting a C&D from Hasbro, but I think the chances of that are less than they think. Games like "Words with Friends" and "Lexulous" haven't had many problems, and they are blatant rip off

Thank you for the reference to Project Euler. I'm learning Scala right now and it gave me just the right sized challenges for testing my knowledge. They're big enough to take time and thought, but small enough that you can solve them within

Kind of lame that the article doesn't link back to the actual product: http://www.livescribe.com/ I also found this video of someone demoing the pen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OU_RKv5zemM

For the PHP version: Why is the search method static? You are forcing whatever class you are using to be tightly coupled. Dependency injection can be done in PHP, too. Better: $bt = Braintree_Transaction_Search::someFactory(); $co

While that may be true, the interesting thing about this article is that it presents a recipe that can be reproduced in an average kitchen. I'm no chef, so I don't know if this has done before, but if it hasn't, it's pretty cool.

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. This specific implementation happens to use flash because it's fast and easy, but there is also a javascript/css based way of doing it: http://www.lalit.org/lab/javascript-css-font-detect It looks incr

I believe it actually gets the font lists using a tiny flash app. Check out this project for an example: http://github.com/gabriel/font-detect-js

I know what you mean... I realized about 20 colors in that I seemed to have a different name for each incarnation of blue, but all shades of green were just "green" to me.

I've been using Prototype for, oh, maybe 4 years now. I really like it. However, the rift between it and jQuery is becoming large enough that my company is considering re-factoring our existing code to use jQuery instead. It seems to have P

I've been a Prototype user for a few years now. I've always kept an eye on jQuery, but my knowledge of it is incredibly shallow. I have to say, I was shocked when I saw that they added the "proxy" method. This description makes it sound exa

rsync works really well. It's what we use at our company. One trick we have considered implementing is pointing the HTML root to a symlink that points to the current release. When you rsync, create a new directory named after the version. A

This article makes me nervous. The author freely admits to a gaping security hole in part 3 of the article. Instead of fixing the code, the author just added an annotation. I just know that someone inexperienced in the ways of PHP is going

Dang... I wish I had seen this two weeks ago. I would love to have purchased something as a Christmas gift for my wife. It's cutting it a bit too close at this point, though.

Base64 will inflate a list of bytes by 33%. For every three bytes that go in, 4 bytes are returned. Wikipedia has a very good explanation of why this is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64 While we're on the subject, Ascii85 is kind of a

I completely agree. If Traits are something you really need, you're using the wrong language. If you need a screw driver, get a screw driver. Don't try to use the claw of a hammer. Developing with something like this will only increase the

The key is that sites have to add a meta tag for the chrome browser to be used instead. It is opt-in only. This means that all those corporate sites that require IE won't be affected, but a user can still get the upgraded experience for sit

Consider a few of the benefits not mentioned in the article: - You have reduced the cyclomatic complexity of each class, which makes the code less fragile and easier to unit test. - When adding a new operator, you are now forced to implemen
