Could someone explain to a non-US resident why basically everything seems to be running on credit in the US? You basically have money on a bank account (hopefully), but still lend with interest to consume? The only credit card I own is from

Hi-tech and modern feeling until the end of each ad, with a logo from the 90:s and a Windows 98:ish sound. Samsung really needs to get a better audio jingle.

As a reading log, I use LibraryThing. I enter books I buy, and mark them as read when I'm done, sometimes with a rating and note. You can also enter books you don't own, like wish-lists or to-buy lists.

Speaking of specificity, maybe using !important should also give a warning.

Except that would be declaring styles, and not content, in the markup which would not be something Nicole Sullivan would approve of. It would rather be div class="post" and class="post featured" or something like that.

Nicole Sullivan, one of the creators of CSS Lint, is a proponent of what she calls Object-oriented CSS. It mean you define "objects" or "modules" that you reuse. The concept is not necessarily new, but she popularized it. You could for inst

For Linux, use Orca, also free and in most repositories.

There is WebRTC ( http://sites.google.com/site/webrtc/ ) for Real Time Communication/Conferencing which Google just open sourced. I think that's the way forward rather than developing a separate "Skype-killer" protocol/app.

Hardware, and other expenses such as conference trips, is indeed a very small expense compared to salaries. It's a cheap way of showing employees that you care. Just as a recent example, it took an email to my manager and 10 minutes later a
