That statement is a case study in poor corporate communications. It would have been way more elegant if they said something along the lines of: 'We thank the 20 persons affected by this change for their contributions and we are committ

This is bad history. The Nazis who emerged in power had no ties to socialism. By this logic, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a purely democratically run country.

I think that realistically it would only come up as an issue if you were looking a c-suite position. For joe or jane programmer, I doubt they would go through the effort of taking you to court in the unlikely event that they found out about

If they include world-wide users, I can see 35 million users being a reasonable statistic. If we're talking about just the USA though, depending on the definition of "blind and low-vision," I found figures between 8 million [

It sounds like I have the same injury as you do. Five years ago I broke the olecranon in my left elbow and had to get it all screwed back together. To echo other suggestions, I would say swimming is definitely the way to go if you want to i

Yeah, that is pretty obnoxious. Doesn't work with Microsoft Edge or Explorer 11.

Agreed. This has so many possible applications for me and it could only get more interesting when color e-ink finally arrives.

For what its worth, the Spacehelmet button that points to http://spacehelmet.info also 404's. Otherwise a neat portfolio site.

Most banks have Visa or MC debit cards available now. You can use them online for most things, but at a PoS it defaults back to the Interac network.

I've seen some gas stations do this. Usually 3 cents off a litre if you pay cash or debit.

A real subscription fatigue is already setting in for me and others that I know. I really don't want to add to that list...

The people who are moving away are doing so because they can't participate in the housing market in the first place. I don't see how people who can't buy houses and are leaving the area will drive down housing costs.

$399 in Canada before sales tax. At that price they'll sell dozens if they're lucky.

We could do that all day. For example, it's "non-English" not "non English." I don't think anyone expects perfectly refined grammar in one-off comment on the Internet. I'm sure you can write English very w

So, that will never happen. The quality of writing coming out of wherever is not going to be the same as that of a native English speaker. I've seen many documentation projects outsourced to non-english speaking countries and the quali

His early stuff is excellent, but the last Crichton book that I enjoyed was Timeline. I found Prey to be disappointing and State of Fear was just about unreadable with its complete misrepresentation of climate change science.
