There was a trend recently for rolled cuffs on jeans, started because people wanted to show off the inside seam of their $200 'selvedge' denim. It helps me out a lot because my inseam really is that long.

That's a pretty terrific idea — and you could make it harder to game by having the page view count be a sum of how many logged in users over a karma threshold had viewed it.

I've got the same 28.5" waist size, but I've got it even worse as my ideal inseam is 35"! You're absolutely right about not actually wearing them at your waist — most of my good pants measure 2" bigger than the nominal size and are worn 2"

Yes, worse than Lotus Notes or Sharepoint. I've seen some gibberingly awful Oracle web interfaces for HR stuff like entering time cards, but the worst was a "Software Life Cycle Management" thing that a client was using — a bizarre issue tr

It's called the "Samsung Galaxy Player", and it just got demoed in public today after being rumored for a while. It even has 16gb of onboard flash instead of continuing with the SD-card-only farce that the other Android manufacturers have b

My parents started a PC software ISV in the early 80s, and they bought one of the first thousand Compaq Portables in 1983 (the very first PC clones!), that they would take with them to trade shows. The keyboard flipped up to form a lid that

As bad as Sharepoint is, most of its competitors are much worse and also make huge piles of money.

There's content but it isn't textually indexed by Google, it's easy to put up statically on any existing domain, and by using huge images it's more likely to be linked to instead of rehosted.

A bag of rocks would be better than Yahoo Answers, etc. — but it sucks primarily because of demographics and volume, not its organization. It's rather expository how you always willfully ignore the competitors that you can't use as a punchi

The headers and such for even the most static requests still get used all over — dispatch, caches, logging, etc. The overhead is minuscule, especially compared to a hand-rolled parser that's literate enough to be maintainable. And the purpo

That would probably work terrifically if there was an eviction algorithm other than crashing at least once per day. (If you try to comment and get "Unknown or expired link", it's because news.arc crashed between the page load and the POST)

You can't use getImageData within a <canvas> element that has cross-domain data as children. Otherwise it'd be the ultimate cross-site scripting hole! It's not something terribly difficult — it's something that is completely impossi

Correct, except that Theora (née VP3) is really a 2000-era codec (and one of the worst of its generation)
