I'm not a woman, but my response in the past has always been: "Jeez, I wouldn't even joke about that." You can be friendly and still express disapproval. Context does matter, women do have more latitude in making that kind of joke, but it s

I think you mean that the iPad is demanding on batteries because of the combo of LTE/GPU/Resolution. Relative to most electronic devices (outside of some phones and specialized devices), it is a model of efficiency.

Not aware of any major timezone issues (it worked fine on my projects but I was already using django-timezones and pytz), but if you have any concerns you can hold off using them by adding: USE_TZ = False in settings.py until you get a chan

Sure, creating new stuff doesn't necessarily imply throwing everything out each time you make an addition or change. It would be like a startup guy re-inventing alarm clocks and breakfast every morning, followed by re-inventing showering, s

Historical reasons mostly. Virtualenv is now on the ascendancy but it wasn't always like this and there were many people who had workflows based on different tools including zc.buildout (for example). Virtualenv has gone from an up-and-come

I'd say their legal status in current intellectual property law (in some countries) is what makes them special. The widespread abuse of patents has IMO flipped the original rationale for having them (to promote the progress of Science and u

Meh, I thought the article had some well-meaning but mostly overwrought handwringing, however the comments there were Youtube-level stupid.

Except someone else is likely to patent the same thing. Until software patents are killed off what we probably need is an organization something like the EFF or the Creative Commons (sorta) which could pool those patents to be used as defen

I liked old Google Search. I would pay to lose the omniscience and omnipotence for the same reason I pay for Google Apps, I'm tired of everything being a sales pitch. Someday I may want to look up the stage Nietzsche's syphilis advanced to

Now that Django 1.4 has dropped support for 2.4, compatibility with 3.2 is going to be a lot easier. There is an experimental branch that Vinay Sajip has created https://bitbucket.org/vinay.sajip/django/ which I believe is being considere

Mozilla certainly have the ability, but I agree that for principle's sake they shouldn't license it. I would modify what you've said, software can be open source and be totally laden with patents, but free software (especially GPLv3) probab

Apple really should consider adding accessibility testing to the app approval process or working with a group to provide it in parallel. Maybe it wouldn't result in the app being rejected but Apple should provide developers with feedback ab

It's possible that the current ones are still based on the work of Apple's Advanced Technology Group. Apple used HTC over its patents and this article about the suit mentioned the technology being added back in 10.5: http://forums.appleins

Gotta think that Intel and Apple must be having discussions about moving successors to the A5 chips over to Intel's process. Getting Apple's ARM processors moved to 22mm would be a spectacular coup for both Apple and Intel. You'd think that

So P3P is flawed and IE implements a flawed standard. Granted. Google is still using this flaw to override the user setting "Do not allow 3rd party cookies" to allow themselves to track users. There is no "technically" about this, they've m

According to the article, Google has done it in a way that indicates (according to the P3P protocol) "that the cookie will not be used for any tracking purpose or any purpose at all." Basically they are abusing the standard to force P3P bro

You have to pick your battles. "It's a force of nature" is only a good argument against a policy when it is accompanied by other valid arguments. There are many things which are "only human nature" or "a force of nature" which for the sake
