Rephrase: what does Ghostery get me that ABP + NoScript (which does get Google Analytics) doesn't? (Serious question, just trying to keep my FF4 install somewhat lean.)

Another thing I hoped they would have dropped from Blu-Ray is the minutes of unskippable content. I've already paid for the disc and now I have to sit through minutes of advertisements? It infuriates me even writing about it.

Ugh, that should have said "important skill". Too late to edit now.

What about just not caring whether you hurt someone's trivial feelings? That is becoming an important feeling in this ever-connected world.

ITA is special not because of the data but because of what it does with the data. The others haven't been able to reproduce that. Think of it as the Google of airline data.

I have no experience with Android yet, so I won't vote, but I can say that if it ever becomes impossible to jailbreak an iPhone I will ditch it immediately.

You're right: they don't do conventional advertising anymore. Here's a blog about their strategy: http://taptaptap.com/blog/kill-yr-ads-the-donts-of-iphone-ap... Also, look at those Daring Fireball prices in that blog post! I'm jealous.

Maybe no downside in these modern times but perhaps back when we still lived in caves and only had fire and a full moon now and then to light our ways I can imagine them short sleepers to be quite bored out of their skulls.

Yes, but you don't have to mix them each and every time. It's just that you have the option to do so and aren't constrained to a single language designer's favourite style.

You are overestimating its difficulty. It is actually the other way around: C and C++ are harder than Scheme since you have to deal with all kinds of silly syntax rules, inconsistencies (from the view of a Schemer), memory management, point

More-or-less. I test drove Chrome for about a month but I cannot live without NoScript support. Besides that I find the browsers to be about equal for what I use them for. This was about 6 months ago. note: I did try NotScripts for Chrom

I wish Google was a little more involved. The competition could've used some resources or funding last time. The format has a lot of potential since any language[1] can be used as long as you can get it to run on Ubuntu 10.something and m

The official start is still a couple of weeks away, although you are free to start working on a bot already. Don't complain if the specifications (or the whole game!) changes though. My guess is this time the challenge will last about two

That makes two of us :-) I'm going to try a genetic programming bot this time. Any comments on the CL starter kit? It still needs work and I'm not the world's best programmer. (see my profile for my e-mail address)

Not intrinsic to Japan as the OP noted, but it comes naturally to people. Zuckerberg's stance is mostly motivated by earning money off peddling Facebook.

Honest question: are they really easier to make? I was using some hyperbole to get a discussion going, but unfortunately this item has dropped off the homepage. What I meant: Making a basic prototype for a GUI app is perhaps easier in the

I'll tell you why most iPad apps surpass web apps in both usability and design: they're easier to make and it's easier to make money off of them.
