Is this the quote you based your classification on? Seems like he is talking generally about the threat of a pandemic causing 10 million or more deaths. He also mentions Asia. "This is a huge challenge, we’ve always known the potential

Read and/or listen to books that give you tips on building products. Most importantly use the skills you learn about. Don't try and do everything in the book. Try and take one or two things that resonate with you and just implemen

I bet you'll get some new interest from this being on the front page of HN too. I just listened to a bunch of your songs and really liked them :) I love Discover Weekly and get excited every Monday morning when I start work and remembe

Patronage seemed like a more formal thing though. They lived with the patron who would provide them a workshop, food and money. Their early days in a workshop seemed more like an employee at a business, not much different than today. The ow

It wasn't all through patronage though. I just finished listening to a biography of Leonardo da Vinci, and he was taught in a workshop, essentially as an apprentice. They would do independent commissions for people - portraits, statues

Im confused. All those small day to day technical things you described are opportunities to help and care about sick people. On the otherside of the chart is someone in pain. Its maybe not House, but it will make a huge difference in their

When I was young, our concentration would always lapse. We would watch the first hour or so, then start itching to play, so we'd run outside and have our own game of cricket in the backyard. Mum would yell if a wicket was taken, and we

I'd worry less about specific technologies and more about learning the basics of building of a web app. It doesn't really matter what you use. Successful sites have been built using pretty much all languages. When I taught myself

I think turning off mouse integration in virtualbox helps with the tablet issues. I use virtual box for Photoshop and light wave 3d, and the mouse integration feature always upset how the program read the cursors coordinates. You just have

I thought that too, but then after reading it I remembered a previous post about the distribution of colours within actual movies, not movie posters. So perhaps that is what you remember too?

Yeah, the latest Lightwave runs on Linux. I installed one of the Beta's a few months ago and it ran OK, though it didn't include everything the windows version had. I still use Lightwave via Virtual Box.

When I signed up I remember they asked if I wanted to link to picassa, and all my photos where private until I actually shared them with a circle.

Yes, peace would be the best outcome, but there is probably some overarching reason for the war that won't be solved by two armies deciding not to fight for tactical reasons.

I don't have any problems reading this site on my HT Desire. I don't like the mobile versions of some sites, so the "Mobile View" setting in my browser is usually off ... but I can read the android site with it off or on.

I had an HTC Magic for a year and found the web browsing to be great. Never used an iPhone to compare though. I loved that I could open multiple Windows, which I pretty much did every browsing session. I have an HTC desire now and its aweso
