I'm sure I am, but unless I'm remembering it very badly they didn't have quite the same 'OMG Science!' presentation. The bit about the gyros in the Click video is awful. I was expecting her to use the word boffin at any moment.

Cheers, I'll give that a listen. I ought to stray from Radio4 and 6music a little more often.

Off topic rant, the BBC's Click strand drives me up the wall on occasions that I see any of it. We used to have the wonderful (if haphazard) Tomorrows World as primetime science viewing and now we're left with Click which is broadcast in a

I think this speaks towards a lack of confidence in the winphone product, at least on the part of the marketeers behind this campaign. To go on the attack as part of your campaign says that you're feeling defensive and negative about your o

I generally come read the comments on a post before visiting the linked page, I'd read your comment and still tried to scroll once I finally clicked through, it just says 'more down here' to my muscle memory.

I use this as a bookmarklet, it will remove this form of redirect from most links http://pastie.org/5132859 (I should have used a gist. I'm hungry and now I want a pasty)

I know people are pointing out the existing easy solutions, but I'm really quite taken by the idea just for the 'Oh gosh, yeah! so simple' moment I had when I saw it. If I could buy a bag of these I'd happily sew one on to all my shirts in

Oh okay. I'd never noticed that because I've always got doctrine in use anyway. /me wanders off to look more closely at the components.

3) In this specific case we're reliant on Doctrine to read Doctrine annotations because we're already reliant on Doctrine to be Doctrine. Possibly relevant if the annotation reader was purely collecting metadata it did not use itself.

I thought that for a moment, but I'm consoling myself with the fact my purchase has helped this happen (in a tiny tiny way). Every cloud has a silicon lining, I have a new toy and unintentionally I did a little bit of good.

did you try, or do you know if merely adding nofollow was enough to have an impact? I've always assumed comment spam links were more about growing/stealing page rank than actually being clicked by anyone.

by jentulman 14y ago
Regardless of spam protection, I like the idea of a 'deep breath and count to ten' being forced on a commenter before they can submit and I'd love to know what an impact that might have on comment quality somewhere like youtube.

looks nice and this is just an initial thought, it looks like the holding content in the HTML is replaced by either case A or B from the script, will it run with the holding text being case A and swapping out only when B is picked by the sc

composer is great, I'd just like to add that the docs make the distinction that it's a dependency manager rather than a package manager.

Sorry, as mgkimsal said I should have added some punctuation, "Maily, a 'my first email' app for kids" would have been better.

I just found it and posted it, it's not mine, they may not even be aware they've been HN'd. I've tweeted and mailed a link to them, perhaps they'll come play.

I'm trying to be optimistic that it will mean at least a few taxis or some form of public transport running in (probably tightly controlled and limited) inner city areas.

I like the concept, but one things that springs to mind is it's a bit ugly and it's not very flexible. I know it needs to stand out, but 'd rather be able to pull the relevant info in from an API and make my own efforts to have it fit in wi

At least they avoided a 'zombees' pun. I'm not sure I could have resisted.

I only found them after I went looking because of your comment. Seems weird not just to have the single horizontal scroll at the bottom, it's too fiddly. Those of us using multitouch trackpads can scroll by just swiping on the page using N

There's a horizontal scrollbar per photoset just below the photo's. I'm guessing this was designed by someone with a multitouch trackpad. I know I tend to forget not everyone else has 2 finger scroll at their fingertips, I've had to get int

I'd just like to posit that, in the UK at least, rave and the beginnings of drum and bass were the last pre-digital youth/music based counter culture. Not that I'm trying to call him out as wrong, I wouldn't expect Gibson to be a massive ra
