   Here's the link to Nilay's tweet that you referenced: http://twitter.com/reckless/status/12440641435 He was indeed previously a copyright attorney.

   Personas are very much supported on OSX. Where did you get your information?

    When the contributions program started, I enabled contributions for a number of my add-ons, with the suggested donation set at $1. Over the next two months, I averaged $1 in donations for every 5,000 downloads. After Add-on Con, I raised m

    http://www.greatsummary.com/ has been around for quite a while. There was a Firefox add-on for the service too: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5321 (which I actually wrote for the GS team), but it hasn't been updated in

    I find Django to be very inefficient in how it handles INSERT vs. UPDATE; you're better off specifing force_insert or force_update in the call to save() to avoid the extra SELECT it runs, since you almost always know whether the object you'

    I respectfully would swap "Need: Beer on Fridays" with "Don't Need: Aeron chairs." If my back is killing me because of crappy chairs, no amount of beer is going to stop me from finding a new job.

    Sounds like Pratt is framing it as his partner making it up as a scare tactic to try and acquire his portion of the company.

    I'm just letting you know that your point becomes shrouded by the repetition of a single word. If the entire point was that one word, then mission accomplished, because it's the only thing I'm going to remember about it.

    You used the word "shit" 105 times in one post. At that saturation point, the only takeaway I got was "This guy sure likes to say 'shit.'"

    If you haven't read it, I'll save you the time: "Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit." (There is as much value in that one sentence as there is in this guy's entire rambling blog post.)
