Exactly. You could just as easily say that the 16 GB buyers are getting a discount that’s funded by 32 GB and 64 GB buyers.

Most are available in models that are rated up to 85°C. You probably wouldn’t want your LED lights to be much hotter than that (with heatsink) for maximum life. I looked up the most powerful white LED that my local electronics distributor s

I’m not sure if you can use the App Store upgrade channel without an Apple ID, but you can always download the update separately: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1571

Even if you do need to query inside the array, how is this different from something like WHERE x like 'prefix%'? Is that a violation of 1NF too?

“$1.3 million for 25 years equals $52,000 a year.” But if you only spend $52,000 a year, the money that’s left earns interest. With the 5% return assumption, you could spend a little over $92,000 a year for 25 years. Accordning to the simpl

It does protect you against situations where Amazon loses disks or tapes, or disposes of them improperly, or they are stolen.

Just looked up my TextMate order email. I bought it almost 8 years ago, on October 6 2004, and received license #36.

TextMate 2 could still be distributed outside the Mac App Store, as a signed binary (with a certificate issued by Apple), and regular users wouldn’t need to change the default settings to run it. You only need to change settings (or right-c

The mobile web version of Google Maps still doesn’t have retina graphics, so it looks very ugly on most iOS devices.

I’m sure some people used it, but it’s not as if it was such a great interface for managing Apache. If I remember correctly (already upgraded to Mountain Lion), all it could do was start and stop Apache.

IPUMS is often used by the researchers (including myself) who would download the entire dataset and do regressions on it, which might be one reason why they haven’t bothered to create an API.

You could also argue that as a government agency the LoC should prioritize important archiving tasks that aren’t already being done by the private/non-profit sector. Despite being a corporate controlled medium, Twitter is still an important

At the very least, the question of whether out-of-state notarization must be accepted is disputed. Here’s a document on the FTC website by the National Notary Assocation, which states that “[b]ecause of the Full Faith and Credit clause of t

Even with configurable animation speed, I think the default should be either no animation or very fast, since this is supposed to be an alternative to screencasts. My hunch is no animation is better, but since I haven’t actually seen that I

I think people who hate screencasts would also be annoyed at the slow animations between each step. Is it just me, or are they more than a second long?

"You appear to be a Spambot If you are human, go back and try again." I've gone back and tried a few times, which probably makes me look even more like a spambot. Ah well.

You could still let people type in the year, as that is less ambiguous, but have dropdowns for day and month. Or just have a dropdown for month.

What does Apple typically charge in processing fees on top of their 30%? I’ve tried to find some information on this, and every source I’ve found says they only charge the 30%.

Rampant speculation: there could also be disagreement over how revenue from “run of network” sponsorships, where 5by5 charges a fixed price for sponsorship of their most popular shows, is divided between the shows. I could imagine not being
