I'm not experiencing any problem. The NY Times design is a disaster. It banishes the useful events feature to the most obscure part of the page, while giving tons of space to a feature that would only be used by the tiniest fraction of th

Those are all terrible, they are all making the ridiculously incorrect assumption that it is confusing. It's possibly the only site that my Luddite family can make full use of, without ever having asked me for help. The designs that change

Is it possible to add whatever number Google calls you from when connecting incoming calls to the list of numbers that you can talk to for free? Might be possible to get all calls for free if it's always the same number, until T-Mobile blo

And then what? You tell the officer that you really haven't been drinking, and that they can trust you?

Are you saying that no sober person has ever been tested? If someone is corrupt enough to manipulate a test to make someone test more inebriated, then they are corrupted enough to make a sober person test drunk.

It's not targeted at a single language. Just like rake with regards to ruby, I could use this to perform tasks unrelated to haskell code.

The very act of doing that would make them a protester who is more subversive than average, and worthy of taking. And with such an inaccurate weapon, they aren't actually looking for specific targets; they're trying to intimidate. Getting

I didn't mean to imply that it is no longer a useful or interesting piece of software; just that it is not a simple migration for some project that specifically use MySQL features. I did the same thing in SQL Server, too, so it's not a new

Drizzle is not a valid choice for apps that require things like stored procs and triggers, which they removed. Of course, not every app requires what they remove; MariaDB is a fork by the core MySQL team, if those features are needed and My

He sounded very pissed at the start, and lost control when Scotty implied that the job was only important for video material.

If the boss saw the videos where Scotty mocked him then he might be pissed--the binging clients will discover videos of him looking foolish and incompetent.

Twitter doesn't do that--they don't have the legal authority to grant a copyright to someone who is not the owner of the material--they say that what is yours remains so. Fluther is given right to reuse questions submitted, as the submit

Why does he keep prattling on about his site's TOS? When viewing something from Twitter, you're not bound to the TOS of a site that you're not even visiting. Furthermore, I just posted a question there, and in no way had to agree to trans

None of the writers at TweetCrunch seem like creative programmers; they specialize in reporting on actual products, and not underlying protocols, so there isn't anything for them to report. It's not a dodge because there isn't anything to

The author thinks that wave is a product, but it is a protocol that they demoed with an application. It is like email--they are both communication protocols. Why would he compare a protocol to a product that uses a different protocol? It
