I have a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 2 which I've had for quite some time. Comfortable as hell--can wear them all day. The only big problem is the AAA battery that they require. When the juice runs out, no more sound, which sucks.

I'm not sure why you'd laugh. Facebook is investigating a bunch of different options which may or may not yield fruit.

This dump is updated once a month, though the API is live. One problem I've found with the dump is that you still need to render it (unless someone knows of another dump) which has caused us a few problems with the current thing I'm working

> Not just that - they redefine the word "history" Despite the historical use of "history" on WikiPedia, I'd rather it be called "Revisions." Revisions is much clearer as a concept. > Not sure how well they thought this out. They se

You mean you didn't just use XDM to switch to a different environment like everyone else in the know? I just switched to FVWM, which was my favorite window manager at the time.

Well, I guess their hope is that people start using Forwarded-For, and then it becomes standardized in the same way that X-Forwarded-For has sort of become standard.

No one says that this has to be a GroupOn play. CVS (the drugstore) has a loyalty program in which they give money back (in coupons) for money you spend. That sort of thing is certainly possible, and probably works fairly well.

I think in general people in this thread are missing an interesting facet of this solution. Suppose that the inventory system was also a POS system (which it'd probably have to be in reality), there's opportunity there for lots of analytics

Does this provide a sane way to deal with callbacks? Obviously, in JavaScript you're writing callbacks all the time, and nested defs (think callbacks which call something that requires a callback... repeat) in Python are ugly and annoying.

Couldn't they get around any problems by providing a way in which you could download and "recover" the original links?

the multiprocessing module has "Managers" which can be used for IPC. I'm guessing that you could just communicate with those via Unix sockets, or TCP sockets on 127.0.0.1 and get pretty comparable results with 0mq, no? I've been using manag
