Im not sure how accurate this is, but Wikipedia lists the US carbon emmissions per capita as 18.67, Australia as 18.74 and China has 4.57. This seems to correlate with the world bank data as shown on Google for 2005 - http://www.google.co

Interesting idea. I'm using Firefox 3.5.5 and the dinosaur images are positioned over the FAQ and Contact Us buttons, so that only the bottom half of them are clickable. They can still be totally seen, but the transparent part of the images

Maybe you're trying to do too much? Perhaps you could find something which you are really passionate about and work at doing it the best you can. Looks like a lot of the time you've been doing things for or with other people. Why not think

I've visited China many times, and it has never felt like a hassle. It actually feels more difficult re-entering my own country (Australia), as it takes considerably longer to get through customs and pick up baggage here.

I think the point that the previous posters were making is that pure REST should not rely on out-of-band information. The client should not have to guess or create URLs from knowledge they may have to look up in some other place. A pure RES

That's not my experience, either. I just got a new laptop and chose a matte screen because my previous glossy screen was impossible to use on the train as any bit of sun turned the display into a mirror. The matte screen is much, much bette

Yeah, the documentation site is a Drupal install, with a few modules, some color changes and a new logo. The main Doculicious.com is all custom, but for the doco I didn't want to have to worry about building the site ... just wanted to get

I felt the same when working on my startup, and something that helped me was to re-think what was required for my first release. Often it seems that everything you've spec'd out is required, but if you really think about it, you should be a

I've always found the joy comes from what I was building and not too much the tools I was using. Perhaps if you found a new, exciting project that you really wanted to build, you could use one of the languages you once enjoyed and the joy w

You can accomplish this using SQL. These guys have written some handy functions to grant permissions on multiple relations: http://pgedit.com/public/sql/acl_admin/index.html

However, not providing the URL of a resource makes assumptions that the consumer knows how to manipulate the data you are providing into a usable URL. If you want your resources to be discoverable and easily consumed by programs which have

I'm working on the API for my PDF/Web Form site http://www.doculicious.com . The initial release will allow reading of saved entries and posting of new entries. This is cool, 'cos it will let people use their own HTML forms to submit data

I'm currently developing an API for my site, and started writing the user documentation pretty early, which is something I haven't done before. The initial release of the API is only going to have a fraction of all the methods and resources

I'm not talking about viewing illegal things as a crime, and I don't agree that my arguments logical conclusion is that watching anything wrong makes you responsible. I'm talking about production and use. Watching a video of taking drugs is

Your analogies don't work. With drugs, producing and using them are crimes. The intent and act of viewing Child Porn is the same - producing or using the produce is the crime. If someone downloads Child Porn, or knowingly copies it from som

So, if you can't see the list of banned sites because the only place to see it publicly is banned, how do you know which links you're not allowed to post? I guess you wait for the $11,000+ fine in the mail which will hopefully tell you what

I don't think hacking the evite account is the problem. With many people using the same password across multiple accounts, getting their evite password may also be giving the password to countless other systems. So they are essentially sacr

If users get a degraded experience, I've always thought it was my responsibility to do what I could to make it better for them . If that means I can't read the code easily, then so be it.

Yep, I read here. Only just saw your post though :) Currently, forms need to be created using our WYSIWYG design tool - this creates the layout of the web-form and the resulting PDF. There is no way at the moment to import an existing PDF f

Cheers, thanks Chris. Doculicious could definitely be used just to create PDF's, without using the web form stuff. Especially if what you really need is a template that needs filling out consistently. I have a bunch of templates in my accou

Cheers, thanks zacharye. Entry storage is always up to the doculicious member who embeds a template on their site, never the public person who fills it in (is that what you were getting at, or am I off the mark?). Setting a template to save
