Yes, I really like that thing. Performance at cruise on the Туманскиы Р35-500 is 40.21 kN, which puts it at just about Mach speeds. For $45k. That. That is entertainment.

This article provides no information about shooting stealth aircraft out of the sky with surplus Soviet weapons. I claim false advertising and would like my 30 seconds back.

Okay, that's fine. And yes, he might be. My take on it was the following narrative: "hey, ALA reader #21223, there's no Drupal modules that use HTML5 features." (hand on cheek) "oh crap, I overcommitted!" "you certainly did. that'll te

Er, I'm seeing that phrase the way I described it, and as it was described to me. "If you are like most designers, you probably don’t write all your markup by hand. But until the tools you use catch up to the new elements in (X)HTML 5, you

FONT tags in advertiser injection, I understand. We do some mangling to avoid that, but you're right. It doesn't kill everything. I'm wondering what kind of stupid web tricks you're talking about that go against XHTML validation, though.

I think you meant to respond to my downvoted comment. Note that the editors are, in fact, fiscal conservatives for the most part. I had meant to illuminate the coincidence of the downvoted comment's parent mentioning banking. And sure, "th

Ahh, realpolitik. The one startup arena where slashing the top of someone's neck so that their tongue hangs out is considered innovative.

Well, it's a Tory magazine for the under-40 crowd. I don't know if that makes it banking-only, but given that banking is the big traditional industry in the UK, sure, I'll bite. (Incidentally, I don't seem to mind as much when they have a

Irritating jerks on both sides. Plus, I like the Gruber post from yesterday, wherein Zuckerberg's described as a toejam-picking awkward 20something who is in no way the second coming of Bill Gates. Which seems just about right. (Also, as f

It's someone making an alternate grammar for the Python VM. There's no waste in a learning exercise, even though the (juvenile, topical) humor may have dated itself. Note to self: in order to not piss off HN readers, make a tutorial/postmo
