NASDAQ is closed, holiday. DAX (Germany) is in business hours though, and the stocks fell ~7% immediately http://www.finanzen.net/aktien/Apple-Aktie and then flattened out. Expect something similar when NASDAQ opens again.

Yes, and the reason is, that they have a very strict social code of conduct, which is why people there take great care of their public (official) persona. Because of this pressure, people need vents to express what they think about in priva

Two spaces sound weird, but my biggest gripe with the typewriter legacy is the QWERTY layout and it's prevalence. (yes, I'm a dvorak typer by choice, re-learned it after QWERTY).

I grew up with Esperanto, and I don't really see a reason to use it as a pun in this context. It's a nice and useful language and everybody has the option to use it or leave it. The parallels (to VP8) with the blog post pretty much end ther

Nope. It was stored as h264 before they released webm (and then flash played it). When they released Webm, they started to convert all that stuff to VP8 (my guess is they should be through by now), so it's only VP8 now (via HTML5 or flash).

I use it at home, work and on my laptop every day too and have no notable problems. On the other hand, I spend most of the time in the terminal/vim and browser, so I may not be that representative here.

It's worse. Most of the time the companies buy these locked in software, then the vendor goes AWOL and nobody can fix the mess, so they just try to stick to it until it horribly fails. IE6 still has extended support with XP, but in a few ye

Not exactly. More like the IIPA filing more complaints against Russia and keeping them on the Special 301 list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_301_Report#Complaints_b... Bribing in Russia is a home game, so no go there. Putins plane

They were probably referencing the last rounds of "quantitative easing" averaged to a year as absolute number. Anyone even remotely acquainted with the graphs was well aware, that even a year ago it was at about the 12 trillion debt the U.S

Ok, the infinite zoom is bullocks, but the keyboard thing might not be. Mine does not beep though, but it makes click-a-di-clack with every keystroke, like in many movies (and keyboards back in the 80's). It also has tactile feedback and n-

Read the article, do some blast physics Googling (especially for kinetic and EMP cones). If you are in EMP range (which applies to H-Bombs and N-Bombs mostly, the later you're very unlikely to see in a terrorist attack, just too damn diffic

Are you kidding me?; for private stuff I use a shared hosting service with shell access for $35 a year , unlimited repos and contributors. And I even host a well visited wiki on that server. Anything else that involves other people and i

From the practical point of view: wouldn't it be the easiest to make a TV entertainment series that would play in a nuclear apocalyptic scenario and include 60-ish style warnings of what to do when you see a mushroom? Maybe something fallou

In my personal opinion, winning is getting the feeling at the end of the day that it was spent well. Most of us of course define this as achieving something, like completing some new program module or getting a good contract. The important

What the article tries to say is, that your password hashing function needs three attributes: * it has to be dog slow (to make brute forcing hard) * it should be complicated enough to avoid collisions (this really applies to most hash funct

Agree, the author is detailing a lot of arcane specifics of JS that are probably valid in a very small subset of browsers, let's see what he writes: "Perhaps the most important thing these libraries do is make sophisticated vector graphics

That's a pretty negative article. Would be much more useful if he'd put suggestions on how to make it better in each point, maybe with some proof of concept. As for the topic at hand. OOP is certainly no silver bullet, and not suited for ev

Nobody doubts that. Insisting on due process (wait for an official subpoena form a court) would be the legally and ethically correct thing, especially if you want to avoid bad reputation. But wikileaks is pissing off an incredible amount of

I think what got to the author was that it looks more like an app menu, and less like a bunch of html links (compared to the current state). I think it's cute, but I'm also easily impressed by shiny UI things. Loop and Google+1 seem to be t
