There is insufficient data to answer this question. Perhaps the jet is flying on the other side of cloud cover, on the other side of a mountain range, or inside a canyon. What elevation is the observer? What is the velocity of the observer

You have some line breaks on the frontpage in this section you need to cleanup: --- We will deliver you a teaching tailored to your case, if you specified that on the additional instructions or by email. Otherwise we will deliver you a rand

More monitors are more productive. Larger screens (only if good resolution, etc.) are also more productive. All monitors should typically be within peripheral vision, otherwise notifications coming up might not be noticed. Consider a real k

My wife and I can otherwise plan for ourselves and get to places on time. With kids, even when we try to start getting ready an hour earlier, we tend to forget things because of the number of things required and all of the distractions caus

Wow. I would have expected a better book cover by someone in marketing, but maybe it appeals to students?

Fairly misleading post title. Seems to just trying to get people interested in the Adopt a Hacker movement, which looks to be a somewhat interesting but somewhat lame attempt to recruit more development talent to the NY tech scene. This quo

Great counterpoint example, however are there any stats on court decisions related to NDA agreements vs. other types of contract-related cases to show how often an NDA is useful enough in court to merit the attention they tend to get in bus

by devmonk 16y ago
Couldn't you just put that in your signature along with a slew of other disclaimers? I've been told that NDAs are mostly just a scare tactic and often don't have teeth in court, at least in-general, and in some U.S. states. I understand tha

If you mean an MS DOS-programming Ninja, and then, yes he once was a Ninja. Then he was a Grandmaster in Windows. Now he is somewhat of a red belt in Philanthropy (see him make progress here http://twitter.com/BillGates ) with a blue belt

Need to have more options. I use it even less than any of these. Also some may have Twitter accounts and have only tweeted once (I've seen many of them).

I know of a few people that had roombas. I can understand wanting robots for practical uses. Other than playtoys and sources of entertainment (e.g. Fur-real pets), I think robots for companionship are for people that want to escape reality.

No, really. I'm running late. My friends understand that we know are being a pain in the ass, but we just can't get it together. It is rude and selfish, but more than that, it's just because we can't get our act together in time. It's calle

Ironic to me at least, the style/format of the linked page look psychotic. Sterile black and white with lots of underlining and very little space between the lines. (Shudder) I was too afraid to read it unfortunately. The style scared the c

Can tell you spend a lot of time on it, and it shows- the UI is simple but slick. That said, here are some thoughts: The main page of the site isn't really getting at what it is. It isn't a personal assistant. It is a somewhat easier to use

Not a fan of the iPad in-general (why do you want a big iTouch- I want a real OS like OSX for something that big), but I think it'd be awesome if someone could show videos of iPads, Macbooks/Macbook Pros, iPhones, etc. by the pool with the

I imagine that the brand won't have much mindshare after another 10 or so years. It is already pretty much dead to me other than a few email accounts. After it tanks, it will probably get picked up by someone and people will continue to be

I credit Android partially for this. Without Android's success, would Apple have had much of a business reason to relax their rules?

Twitter, Google, and everyone else could do a much better job at handling link spam. They need a mixture of having users flag requests as spam (which many do), analyzing all requests looking for trends in spamming (not just requests from sa

My guess is that it is either one of two things: 1. Just link spam-testing or mixing legitimate-looking spam with illegitimate. 2. The plan is to use a delayed URL redirection change technique. For example, in blogs, etc. you can change the

A great start! I remember using quirksmode matrices for compatibility years ago on several occasions. What a great resource for the community.

Some good stuff but lost me with the indenting. It is easy enough to just scan up and down to see related definitions. Indenting like that makes it harder and is illogical. They aren't embedded styles within styles and tidy-like tools you'd

Like it, but hate the dropdown fuzzy match search results layering atop the first result along with the "feelings of euphoria" obnoxiegocentricicity. I hope they fix that before go-live.
