There were certain areas in Berlin where speaking English seemed almost mandatory, especially in Bars and Cafes but that said I don't know how the situation is with gov institutions etc. I would guess though that it can't be such a big deal

tl;dr BERLIN IS AWESOME! I just came back from Berlin (awesome couchdb conf @ co.up co-working space) and must say that the energy in a place like Kreuzberg is pretty intense. The area around Rosenthaler Platz and Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Mi

Is that a US specific thing only? Why would I have to disclose this deeply personal information to my employer? It is no one's business. That said if crazy legal allegations like this come out of it I can understand the pressure. Still, it

I'm a native German speaker and this localization thing seems like a really bad idea. I can understand where the github folks are coming from but it really is a thing not worth putting any effort into. I sympathize with the humanism but pro

We have the same issues here in Austria, it always feels backwards when somebody well integrated gets kicked out "because the law is the law". It's also one of the main tools for populist politicians to mine for votes ("Fear!"). Although it

I doubt that this animal died by a natural cause. I've been an atheist all my life and especially because of that it saddens me to witness the slaughter of an animal for the sake of fundamental research in order to debunk a nonsensical beli

It is so painful to witness elected stupidity in action. My sympathies to all the Royal & Mitterrand voters - seems like Sarkozy is rapidly becoming the new G.W. Bush.

I do agree with all of this but I like to think that with some collective effort we'd only be some iterations away for these kind of apps ("Shiny Real World Magazine Simulation") to evolve into something of equal, possibly even better quali

Thanks to external constraints a big player is going into the right direction (for a certain set of applications where native is not really needed). Also very cool of Playboy to prominently show the historically significant "Lenna" in their

It seems you have been lucky. My 80286's 20MB HD failed back in 1993, so did my 1998 IBM 3.5" 20GB Hard Disk. Maxtor 80GB in 2003. Samsung 80GB in 2004. Seagate 160GB in 2006. Western Digital 500GB in 2010. All of these are part of my 20 or

Please do! I think something like this could be valuable to a lot of small to medium companies who atm can't resist subscribing to Google Apps (50,- per user you could have instead). I think with a service like that, the main goal would be

I'm 80/20 vegan/vegetarian so I should feel especially repulsed (I don't; got a real time mind filter in place for that - using it on online ads as well - very simple & effective solution) but still one has got to admire your jolly reac

Although I consider myself a Francophile I have to say that the Sarkozy government really seems to be out of control these days, of course the same is true here in Austria as well as in Germany. We need common sense & neutral specialist

Firefox (4.0) renders this much faster than Safari (5.0.4), Chrome (10.0.648.204) and Opera (11.01) on my MBP (Santa Rosa 2007) with OSX (10.6.7). Could someone else test this too? If reproducible, what could be the reason? Is this simply a

I wouldn't mind to pay for a twitter pro account myself (although I'm on a tight budget momentarily). How would this option hurt the current free business plan? I think there is even a possibility that it would enhance the perceived value n

Owning the Blu-Ray version of a movie is like owning the original film roll to me. Priceless experience, in fact the first time I'm really happy to spend money on my favorite films ever since the Laser Disc. I love Blu-Ray.

I concur writing new gems is a good idea as CPAN is often the only reason I have to return to perl for some quick tasks. As CPAN is the grandfather of all package management systems and probably of (inet) shared libraries too it is perfectl

You could write your own by extending OSS like hexdump or hexcurse or any other hex editor. It shouldn't be to big a deal to add that functionality. It's just beautiful what you can do with open source code! Don't forget to share.

True, I once bought from sedo and it was OK at the time (I think it was about 300-400 EUR) but unfortunately not every domain for sale is offered by sedo (at a comparable price).

The problem with domain brokers is trust. I simply don't see myself paying >1000 eur/usd without ever shaking hands in real life first. All the small brokers, no well established "brands" (at least for someone outside that line of busin

Have a look at the "Epic Citadel" tech demo on an iPhone 3GS or 4. We're almost there already , of course subjectively (lower resolution on the mobile displays). The future is now, it really is pretty amazing.

To be fair - neither ruby/rdoc and rails api documentation are much if any better in that regard. I like the ruby/rails ecosystem but the javadoc approach was IMHO really OK as well (I don't talk about some of the parts of the standard libr

Pushing all my red buttons like using the term "Lifestyle Business", mentioning Google Voice's non approval and the quality vs quantity discussion makes me very skeptical about this article.
