Sweden's lax immigration policies are not without their own problems, though. Ghettos are forming within the major cities and crime is up across the board. Immigrants are refusing to adopt the culture. Norway also suffers from this problem,

You should try Unicorn instead of Passenger if you haven't yet. It's the cat's ass. Zero downtime deploys are great.

When you refresh, it moves to a different block. This is in violation of Google's AdSense guidelines. If you report the site, they'll get in trouble.

You can also: [socket, window, file].map(&:close) That just sends the :close message to each object in the set and returns a set of the results of each object evaluating that message. Yay, Smalltalk.

Here's an example of the kind of speedup you can see from proper usage of NSOperationQueues: http://tech.gilt.com/post/3187131303/tips-for-optimizing-iph... Pretty impressive to see them running side by side.

This is why you have a guy in Afghanistan cash it out and put the balance onto your foreign, anonymous Paypal/Liberty Reserve account. He takes a cut, but that's life. He has no idea who you are and you only access the account through compr
