I for one, will fight passionately against this, if he has the stupidity to bring it up again.

I don't think this would work unfortunately. Players in air travel face a) intense competition and b) tiny profit margins. This forces some 'creative' pricing.

My method is as follows: - I don't have a landline phone - If someone calls my mobile and they aren't in my address book, I just don't answer. - If that number is withheld I especially don't answer - If they leave a mess

Its quite far into the building process now actually. The whole Power Station/Nine Elms area is getting a huge number of (quite expensive) apartments and 2 extra Northern Line stations.

Not my own purchase, but my previous employer paid somewhere in the region of £1-2 million (I forget the exact figure) for a 2 letter .com which was actively being used by a Brazilian company. They were using the .com and the .com.br and ju

Hopefully it will be that way with wind turbines when they are replaced in decades to come with some unheard of power source.

Doing it by country is racism. Doing it by religion is also racism. These things make up your race.

True, but this comes after many years and a monumental effort by Google, who are backed by huge financial resources.

"A new browser for our friends", as in the developer community? That seems like a lot of effort to build a browser for a very small group of users. The sad truth of browsers is that most people use whatever comes on their machine.

Bills like this worry me greatly as an advocate for internet freedoms and because of a desire to a right to privacy. When I discuss government plans for the internet with non-technical people it worries me even more that they aren't at

I wouldn't expect an Uber driver to know the final destinations to my home in the suburbs, but at least the general direction. Most of my Uber journeys are stationary for a couple of minutes while the driver works out the best way to g

Shared hardship is a very powerful force to bring people closer. It's why military personnel often have a really tight bond.

I can't speak for San Fransisco, but in London there is a clear difference in service between 'Black cab' regular taxi services and Uber taxis. The Uber drivers often have no idea how to get to where you want to go, and don&#

It looks like you are using some horribly outdated OS/Browser. If I had to guess, I'd say IE7/8 on Windows XP. For reals?

What sort of deposit did you need to buy an apartment building? I'd wager that this isn't a viable solution for most people.

The danger is that increasing your income often leads people to spend more on higher quality things that they might not need, thus forcing you to work longer, or to make even more money. The trick is to be happy living well within your mean

Looks awesome, good work! I am using Ionic at the moment to develop a hybrid app and while it's a little more mature and a joy to play with, it doesn't as far as I'm aware have the awesome state change animations this has. Ex

You wouldn't hire the guy because he doesn't have his own domain name? That seems somewhat harsh. I agree it comes across as more professional when you do have your own domain name, but with 10 years experience I imagine it's

Yes, people with responsibilities are excluded, but that is life. You don't see parents of young children out clubbing till 4am. Younger people go out clubbing because you can feel shit the next day without the kids wanting attention.

Really really nice tool and very well executed. Offers lots of utility in the event you want a non-interactive app. The problem with it is however you still need to know how to code. It's all very well having a login form, but if you c

I agree. I wouldn't have one in my home, but for most of the non-tech savvy population, all you need to do is stick something on the box that says "100% secure" or something similar and their nerves are calmed. This is obviou

Those are all sites that have been around for ages though, and jQuery is quite hard to remove from a site once it is embedded in. Anyone creating a serious web-app from scratch now really shouldn't be using jQuery, but one of the alter
