If it's there policy to not allow recording, then you shouldn't be recording videos. From the video of the confrontation, it seemed like Surj was being reasonable and only proceeded to say "fuck off" after you attempted to record him. This

"Oh, about scalas, clojures and rubies - they really, really don't matter." This is the only thing here I agree with. TC is rather useless in the grand scheme of things. If not being able to get on TC is your marketing strategy then you nee

I hope they find the root cause, specifically whether it is MongoDB or Foursquare's code at fault, or some combination.

.NET and C# make developing Windows desktop apps ridiculously easy. There is a .NET API for just about everything and you can get started for free with Visual Studio Express. As a bonus Visual Studio has awesome auto-completion features and

IE has the opportunity to come out with a truly standards compliant product. If they can give it the speed/wow factor the Chrome release had, then they'll be back in the game. Regardless, if they create a product that is rid of all of the b

The fact that the device is only this price because of a government subsidy for university students makes this a non-starter. There are definitely cheap and low quality Android tablets that can be sourced at the sub $100 price point.

Personally, I would feel very uncomfortable having one application with vertical close/minimize buttons while others are horizontal. I wouldn't expect the introduction of this level of inconsistency from an Apple product.

Can we start the move to Google Checkout and Amazon Payments? They both charge the same amount of fees as PayPal yet do not have draconian policies and downright retarded treatment of their customers

Damn. Where was this in the beginning of my internship when I was declaring every C++ function explicitly and used stdio for everything. And references, I'm still not sure when to use references and when to use pointers. Learning C++ after

It's the expectation that shit bout to go down. e-hate doesn't translate particularly into real life aggressiveness. Much like how phone calls often end up friendlier than emails.

Interesting idea! I'll definitely keep that in mind for future designs. For now I have reduced the text color scheme to use only two shades of gray. I tried to pick two shades that have good contrast but with neither being unreadable on whi

Sorry about that. The problem with Opera 10 is that it doesn't support the MP3 codec for HTML5. Right now our solution to the two major browsers (FF, Opera) that don't support HTML5 and MP3 together is to use a Flash fallback, hence you see

More Obscure does more! The algorithm is not plainly random. It factors in how many times people have clicked more obscure for a particular artist! tldr; When you click More Obscure, the song won't play again for you. The entire artist will
