Older Internet Explorer and Firefox versions displayed the source that was downloaded, not the one generated/modified by scripts. It makes so much more sense, especially since there was always an option to view the generated source (by usin

Naturally, thanks to the nature of dynamic programming, it won't find gems like: $a = 'awesome'; $func = $a . 'Func'; $func(); so if you're using this on a project that was written by someone else, then don't just blindly delete

I don't buy it, if they can see through the boilerplate and if they are as smart as you claim then they should have no problems at least avoiding doing and saying things that hurt and block the interaction. The problem often is not lack of

I'm not really following USA political market that closely, but is there any investor, politician or economist who has even a slightest doubt that the ceiling will be raised? Or am I too naive?

Please, please keep us updated about how it goes for you, whether you succeeded or failed. I generally don't believe in change in culture and thinking, unless it comes from a leader or authority figure, so I always kind of work around these

Latvian Facebook clone has solved this by marking sent messages as read/unread. I think people use that system way more than e-mail here. Maybe there is going to be something that will replace e-mail worldwide in a similar way. Actually, I'

Actually, pen & paper have magical properties, which are probably backed up by some psychology, which is not known to me (yet?). Obviously, things like geometry for games & effects, drawing interface mockups and others involving vis

It's also difficult to drag the car with automatic gearbox (you have to do it very slowly or put it on a trailer) and you can't start the car by pulling it if battery gets flat.

Sure, but calling someone who hasn't read the manual a moron takes more effort that shutting the fuck up. So either help the poor illiterate person or shut the fuck up. It's not like this person knows that there were 58 persons before with

Despite my worries that this is turning into offtopic, I'll note that I haven't noticed that this particular PHP feature gets bashed. I've seen the opposite, people remarking that one of the things that is pleasant in PHP is working with as

The ridiculousness of their demands is impressive but I found Sony to be the most amusing of them all. Sony worries that users will visit each others houses and download MP3 collections from their clouds. Honestly, if I visited someone in t

You can achieve the same effect with smoking pauses: 1. your mouth isn't stuffed and you can and want to talk during smoking. It's reflexive - as soon as you light the cigarette you're looking for a conversation; 2. you have more pauses per

I'm introvert but I loved eating with my coworkers. It's very different from the energy consuming socialization that you would experience at parties or otherwise. Then again, I didn't eat with all of my coworkers, just my friends.

That's not entirely true. From the book in Galt's Utopy: The recaptured sense of her [Dagny's] own childhood kept coming back to her whenever she met the two sons of the young woman who owned the bakery shop. . . . They did not have the

Same. This is their home page: http://sharetheair108.com/ Some sites say that the home page will be launched after they cash out the check they have supposedly already received for their startup. This must be a big joke.

Wait... I must be having hangover or something, but it sounds like they ask for money to fund startup that sells jars of air for $10,000... I can't figure out - is this REALLY for real?

It probably sounds worse than it is. It's not like we're stubbornly keeping to our own opinions whether the code should belong to company or not. We're all inexperienced in this area and intuitively I feel like the code should belong to the
