This is great (and I'm glad you are doing something practical to help), but I was wondering if you have reached out to Maya's family to see if this tool you are building will fit their particular needs? I remember reading that they tried ou

I couldn't find any mention of ICANN or control over DNS in any of the leaked documents I looked through. It seems like the article authors or the leakers are "reading between the lines" but I'd be happier to have a link and a reference nu

I agree with the need for discussions like this to take place in the open so that people can be informed about what their representatives in government are discussing. International treaties are very important. However, both this article an

I found that at previous PyCon US that I attended, Macbooks made up about 75-80% of the laptops. I imagine its pretty similar at Rails conferences.

Hardly. Chandler was slagging SciFi by making a reference to perennial loser Barney Google, well known through newspaper comics and music in that day: http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/s/spikejones9866/barneygoogle3...

You got incorrect info, non-Retina Macbook Pros have upgradeable memory and you can already buy it from suppliers like Crucial and OWC.

by huxley 14y ago
Yeah, the Macbook Airs have done that from the very start. Not sure about how widespread it is overall but both Sony's Vaio Custom Z and the ASUS Zenbook Prime have fixed non-upgradeable RAM.

I don't think it's quite as stark as you say. This is a transition product just like the original Macbook Air was, which incidentally also looked like an odd duck compared to the clarity of having Macbook and Macbook Pro lines. It's likely

It's definitely not soldered in. OWC says that it is similar but probably not exactly the same as the one in the Macbook Air, they are looking at providing an upgrade model like they do for the Airs: http://blog.macsales.com/14090-not-a-lo

They are fooling themselves if they think the Office bundle justifies the price. The rationale for the Office bundle should be to give an initial boost to an unproven platform and overcome the scarcity of Windows RT apps.

There are lots of tools that let you adjust the system fonts, TinkerTool and Onyx come to mind. You may see quirks in some apps that expect the standard font and sizes.

Anandtech says that the resolutions are actually calculated at double the resolution and then scaled down, so if you pick 1920x1200, the GPU actually calculates 3840x2400 and then scales it down to 2880x1800. The results apparently are fair

Can it be hosted on a subdomain? Say your app is on example.com but the SnapEditor CSS and JS are on static.example.com? I wasted an immense amount of time trying to get TinyMCE working properly on a subdomain, so don't care to repeat the e

You're misremembering things, Google had already passed Apple in US marketshare in 2010: http://articles.latimes.com/2010/may/12/business/la-fi-googl... In the US, Google accounted for 28% of smartphones versus Apple's 21%. Apple opened i

Yeah, but it's still less annoying than seeing MAC used for Apple's desktop and notebook line.

To be a bit more accurate, Schmeiser's Canola field was contaminated by his neighbour's plants. Schmeiser saved the seed and mixed it with his own hybrid, so his own plants inherited the Roundup Ready gene from the contaminated seed.

One thing, that Huffington Post article doesn't quite contradict the claim. It says: "The court ruling said there was no likelihood that Monsanto would pursue patent-infringement cases against the organic farmers, who have no interest in us

Not sure about the US but it's possible he's referring to Monsanto vs Schmeiser, a Canadian case. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto_Canada_Inc._v._Schmeis... In that case, Schmeiser's field was contaminated by his neighbour's field wh

Sounds pretty neat but I find it hard to be excited since the times I've used Kinect itself, it was actually pretty annoying. Perhaps it was the setup or something about the room, but I found the response rate slow and the accuracy terrible

Fair enough but my point was that if there are librarians that make $250,000 it is because they are at the highest level of administration over a library system, not the librarians that you meet at a reference desk. As eli_gottlieb pointed

Having the event in February helps. Off-season and it's not in Dallas itself, but in Garland. If you're flexible about the when and where, you can get a decent price. Lots of events don't have that flexibility.
