It looks like they've come up with a good compromise for the currency problem. Those who wish to will be able to set exact prices in the buyer's currency, while the '~' approximations will still be used for those who don't. From the email

I'm not familiar with the particular 'sorting' thing you're doing, but if the first things works, then the second should work in 1.9 if you use the correct syntax -- you have an extra colon. It should be: list.sorting = {name: 'ASC'}

"Android" isn't selling tablets. Android is an open-source operating system for smartphones. Some manufacturers have taken this smartphone OS and released tablets using it, and you're certainly free to compare them with the iPad. Any such

Thanks for explaining this. I don't have Flash and was very confused why nonsense words being translated to the same nonsense words was of interest to anyone...

I don't think that exercise, in itself, would make anyone perform worse at physics. While writing about why your values are important to you could very plausibly increase your confidence, I don't see how writing about why other people migh

I did find it quite interesting that the men seemed to do worse with the values exercise than without it, and strange that the article didn't discuss this aspect. The idea I had was that if the men are subject to the same stereotype (that

Weird; I had the opposite experience when I played it for a few minutes on my friend's iPhone 4. The graphics were strangely inferior on the iPhone compared to my Nexus One. This surprised me, because I thought it was mostly an iPhone gam

That's relatively new, but I was glad when they changed it. To be clear, it's not "outside the US", that's Canada -- the point is that prices are now listed in local currency, including in the US. Back to the point: while I'm pretty comfor

If meditation is making you cranky and uncomfortable, I'd say you haven't yet found the right form of meditation for you. There are a huge number of different practices out there, and most of them strike me as self-violent and painful. Of

Until the loading request (spinning up a JVM) performance issues get sorted out, I can't see any serious site running Ruby on App Engine. It's actually an awesome platform, except for one detail -- which is enormous : waiting 15+ seconds

It depends on how what your goals are and how much time you put into it. In November, I was feeling annoyed that there was no easy way to see exactly what charge my phone's battery was at (at least none that were acceptable to me). I'd bee

The HTC Desire does, but it already works there. Most people are speculating that this is one of the "secrets" Google claims is still hiding away in the Nexus One, given that the Desire and the N1 are basically the same inside, and their B

Perhaps -- but your list of benefits matches a list of typical benefits of meditation as well. And falling asleep while meditating isn't terribly uncommon, especially when you're tired. When I first started meditating, it was a lot more t

I teach meditation, and in my opinion, what you're doing is definitely a form of meditation. You have an intentional practice of relaxation that doesn't involve falling asleep. That's meditation. Specifically, paragraphs like this can be

This isn't really a problem, though. All you have to do is zoom in, and the ambiguity resolves itself. The post (not exactly an "article") comes off as a silly complaint that Google Maps isn't completely perfect, without seeming to underst

With that "should end in X" idea in mind, Linus chose to name it Freax (because it was a /free/ UNIX). When he uploaded a very early version to an FTP server at Helsinki, his friend, who administered the server, changed the directory name f
