You might want to look into why the images on pages like http://yellowrubberball.com/why-yrb/ on your site hang off the side of the page in Chrome 10.0.648.204 on OS X. I noticed it on the home page too.

I've never understood the love people seem to have for K&R--especially as a beginner text. In the end I put it down to learning approach differences. A decade ago I thought the book "C Programming : A Modern Approach" by K.N. King was a

And when: the 7.1 struck about 4:30am Saturday morning--the outcome would've been very different if it had also struck at ~12:50pm weekday as the 6.3 did.

I'm curious if there was a particular reason for using Google Maps for the demonstration rather than OSM.

Wow, really nicely done. Sure, some nerves and timing issues but really impressive outside that, particularly as an non-natural public speaker. Of course, the true measure of public speaking is how many people act on the message. :) Would b

It's an odd day when a market sector is so messed up that it seems like a good thing that a credit card company is entering it. I hope their entry somehow improves the behavior of both companies. (Although I note it seems it will be US only

I'd rather Nokia actually be the only truly open mobile platform out there. No, Android isn't sufficiently open. It's my phone, at a minimum I should be able to pull all my own data off it in any form I choose.

It's not really an oxymoron--it just means it's a standardised way of interacting with something ("API") that isn't officially condoned/supported by the original creator ("Unofficial").

It doesn't seem that unreasonable to think that they have a continual need for additional developers. They're also not the only company that has a "We're Hiring" post in each of these threads which strikes me as a good thing--assuming the t
