Not quite. They are two distinct business ventures linked by the operator and name. The name is irrelevant, and the operator clearly ran them as distinct entities.

My American shoot-from-the-hip response to this would be to consider the road differences. Most American roads, interstate, state highways, and main city throughfares, are able to accommodate large vehicles quite easily. This is not the cas

Consider systems like the GDS infrastructure backing the travel industry. These systems are long-lived (50y+) and are the backbone of all travel booking and scheduling. The only thing that matters for them is not the end user experience, it

Your best bet is to comb the references cited in the article. There is a good chance the published non-fiction books themselves have further citations.

Words put to effect with the breadth of human expression captured through full motion video. I challenge one to read the screenplay for Shawshank and feel half as much. What the author extols in word is something quite effectively conveyed

Indeed, this is one of the more interesting systems evolutions of our time. Its inspiration was the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE), a cold war-era air threat assessment computer with real distributed qualities and light gun interf

I certainly agree that those games appeared earlier on the timeline. But Halo/Rare FPSs were the first to be outstandingly successful in their control and playability scheme. The console versions of those games you list were hampered by the

Halo (and really, Rare's FPS platform) brought the FPS niche from PC+keyboard+mouse to console and controller. This introduced casual gamers to the world of the hardcore competitive nature of Doom/Quake/Unreal Tournament, a multiplayer envi

This represents the launch of Connect for a Cause, a startup based in New Orleans. The idea is to auction lunch meetings, where proceeds are donated to the charity of your choice. Bidders earn a meeting with someone that might be otherwise

The model is to eventually have thousands of varied hosts within the storage network. That said, it is to launch under one single unified host in NZ.

While the dual-30" monitors certainly has its appeal, I find getting away from my screens and truly discovering the world to be my most enriching time. Why confine your walking to the scope of those foreboding screens when your walk could b

To keep with the theme you've worked with thus far, you might use a name still closely associated with your hometown, such as Holbrook, Mann Hill, etc. The impact on your company ethos would be relatively small, and there does seem to be a

While that may be the case, it is merely one usage of the word. "Git" on the other hand has a singularly offensive meaning, but that hasn't done much to derail the success of the tool.

Relative dates are effective up to a point. People think relatively about events for perhaps a month or two. Past that it probably becomes more effective to use absolute dates.

switching between desktops is slower. It eases as a much slower rate at beginning and end. I've also noticed that you cannot cancel a desktop switch until the previous is complete, and thus cannot cancel a desktop move.

It isn't well known in tech partly because it doesn't have a very strong engineering focus. While other departments are seeing incredible growth and development, the school of engineering is relatively quiet. It simply hasn't been a priorit

PHP is like the old rusting hand saw to Python/Ruby/etc's laser-guided table saw. Sure, we're all cutting wood. But some of us are doing it with faster and safer tools. Maybe the consumer doesn't notice the difference, but the carpenter sur

As a general note, GET and POST requests expose their parameters with equal visibility. It's just that the browser makes it more obvious what your GET parameters are

This is great to hear. This issue was one of my great qualms with the platform, and the biggest argument for creating a copycat platform. Now to address the auth/permissions!

While I understand that a modern technologist can sometimes be a tinkerer and a maintainer of code, and that can lead to equivalences to the auto mechanic of the early days of auto, I think you hit quite well on the difference: autos aren't

I would like to second this sentiment. That feature has become a vital part of how I navigate code, especially for projects that I am looking at for the first time. It's the only thing preventing me from using SublimeText 2.
