   I have been using the Seiki 39" for about 4 months now and I agree with a lot of what @bhauer has to say. There are a couple of things as a developer. 1. You end up developing really long lines of code that might upset other developers

   I really hope this opens up the competition. The last couple of years have been a little one-sided given Red Bull's dominance and while this has not been strictly due to engines (Red Bull uses the same Renault engines as many of the ot

   Yeah, it is a pretty nice shortcut. They also added it to PHP in 5.3 so you can do something like this now: $var = trim($_POST['var']) ?: 0;

   Thanks for the comment, the concept of nettlesomeness intrigues me. "...Carlsen is demonstrating one of his most feared qualities, namely his “nettlesomeness,” to use a term coined for this purpose by Ken Regan. Using computer analysi

   I was somewhat disappointed by the articles inherent bias towards the US. There is no reason why the US should place its strong IP laws and history of pharmaceutical innovation in jeopardy during the opening salvos of an international treat

    I can't say for certain - they'll claim that it was in the effort of doing what's right. One can't help but laugh at the irony that this article is posted alongside "MI5, MI6, and GCHQ chiefs public hearing live on

    Thanks, there are parts of this that I really like. I'm hopeful that more developers will follow in this trend and release their projects in works as open source projects. Incidentally in reviewing I also came across some of your other

    I'm surprised that the morality of HFT firms keeps coming up even among technically enlightened audiences. I'll preface this by saying I'm not a HFT or affiliated to one but I strongly believe that HTFs and UHTFs play a valua

    This was the topic of Prof. Balaji's talk during startup school and was one of the more intriguing talks given by any of the speakers. He brought up the point that failure to exit can often be considered as a vote of approval and that

    Yeah I guess, the only problem was that: IKEAorDeathVikingDoomDroneSludgeCelticPaganGoreGrindThrashMetal.com was already taken so they had to shorten it a little.

    Thanks, that's certainly worth noting, I think self-audits are a non-starter for HIPAA and PCI service vendors. If I were to recommend this to clients or implement as a storage option in one of our solutions, it would also be nice to h

    Indeed. I would also recommend giving your users a way to reach out (twitter, fb etc). Incidentally, I'm running late to a birthday party and I'm trying to pick up a gift on the way. I couldn't remember the site URL and had t
