Although the cost of distribution of an e-book _is_ less than a paperback, the cost of making & distributing a paperback, or a hardback for that matter is not as much as people may think. Publishers sell some paperbacks for 99p & h

I'd be interested to know how you fully resolve external dependencies. For example - do you pull in js libraries that are linked to dynamically within other js files (as opposed to those that are simply referenced statically as includes in

What's keeping my house in good order, and being a good neighbour got to do with electing to use the option offered to me by Google to remove these images? Are you saying I'm wrong for doing so? I'm saying that this matter is still very sub

I can well believe that will be the case. I saw a link on HN the other day for 'personal drones', unmanned flying devices that track you with GPS taking aerial photos along the way http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703631704575

Absolutely - not making email integration easier was a big FAIL. It would have made the adoption of Wave so much easier.

I was always very excited about wave, and was looking forward to a time when it was in common use. The possibility to unify all my communication around common threads makes sense, being able to use it as a replacement for chat & email -
