That's good to hear, I was thinking of switching to Linode which I use for work, but I think I will try buying two 512MB DO servers instead.

WOW, that old-timey Finder on OSX is horrific. Almost as bad as the current Finder.

Oh gravy, tell me about it. I fought at work for two days about taking the "our offices", "our whatever" off all the nav links.

Your hypothesis is playing out already. I just saw a piece on CNBC a few minutes ago talking about the negative NYT Tesla review where they mostly talked about how glowing the reviews have been for the Tesla S and how as a company they are

Good point, white hat SEO is simply applied IA. Thanks for the resumé tip :)

This is true. But there really are hundreds of thousands (probably millions and millions) of sites that are structured horribly where you can simply rely on knowing how the heck to structure a page correctly. For instance... I recently move

So you're saying that patents can be destructive to markets??? Man, I wish someone in the US government agreed with you on thatOH WAIT http://research.stlouisfed.org/wp/more/2012-035 Not that a single report means anything for policy, I j

Out of curiosity, in what ways is Zurb superior to Bootstrap? I immediately see that they use Sass rather than Less. That's a smart move I appreciate. Anything else? Better licensing, browser support, toolset? I think it looks great but I'd

I can give plenty of counter examples, but the one that immediately jumps to mind is orgs like Pissed Consumer, who are essentially using subdomains to hijack other companies' Google juice. However, it's also hard for me to suggest that tho

Depends what you mean. If you mean people whose goal it is to help site owners learn how to structure their data intelligently for dissection by machines, people who make companies think very hard about their content, people who encourage h

This really would be ideal, but I'm not sure Moglen has the time to both run the legal effort and run the org and FSF legal really does an awesome job. I think maybe what the FSF needs more than anything is a NEW champion, someone younger p

It's probably RMS's single mindedness and inflexibility that allowed the FSF to see this coming down the pipe. I now feel naive that I thought this was Chicken Little stuff and irrelevant to most users.

Oh, you mean the non-elected social club for European elites? Yeah, part of the problem.

Yes, they definitely do live in an echo chamber which is why their views are so skewed, but they also live in the world of globalist weasels who love this crap. Most of the people who would participate in a body as anti-democratic as the EU

Irrelevant, the phone should not be in question. If you break the contract, you will pay the contract breakage fee, the phone is not even considered. It doesn't have anything to do with the contract, it's just yet another way for the compan

At the risk of getting downvoted, this scenario was exactly the thing that Stallman and co were freaking out about for 20 years.

Great, only 40K more until they can ignore another petition! I'm guessing if 40 of Obama's corporate owners filed a petition the results would be slightly different.

I'm sorry, this violates my patent on making jokes about patents, I'm going to need some licensing fees for that...

Tim Berners-Lee should have patented "text pages over a network," dude would be a bajillionaire.

I haven't checked this chapter out yet, but this whole project is really awesome, Shay. There's not many materials out there that aim to help out intermediate devs. It's obviously a market problem...why make a book where the audience is 15%

Even without looking at the ethics of all this, you're exactly right. At the most basic level, why do governments do things that are against the national interest in favor of multinational corporations or other countries? I think the answer

I think you mean when the EU overlords give directives and then the slave countries are forced to manipulate language and law to make those directives legal in their nations. Hyperbole? Only sorta.

Yes, this is exactly true. The purpose of is to help less knowledgeable folks and people that don't have time to create a design to start out with something usable and clean. There's zero reason you can't go back and make it sexier later. I

That seems even worse because it's slaughtering the wrapability of the text. That would only work on a container of pre-set size, and maybe then only on certain clients. How do you know which font client x will load?

You would almost never strictly use a map for this purpose historically, you'd calculate it using tools.

Great article, thanks to the author for chasing down and cataloguing another entertaining and fine piece of geek lore.

The problem is that when you pay the legal fees for a party, you can be exposed to liability in certain cases. It's actually happened quite a few times.
