I think Facebook has basically gotten the visibility of the hierarchy correct with their setup of friend lists. I assign my friends to different groups, but they don't know what groups I've assigned them to. The biggest things FB needs to c

There's definitely significantly different methodology here since, Buenos Aires is one of the cheapest cities on the numbeo list and most expensive on the article.

Well, talking about web businesses in general. I think there are a lot of these lifestyle web businesses around where people are making enough to support themselves, but are not crazy rich. So true. Because the barrier of entry for most o

Then they really shouldn't have used Flash for the main content of the page rather than HTML (which is better suited than flash for this use case).

Really? Gnome definitely didn't come up with them, and most WMs have virtual desktops, but if you just launch X11 without a WM I definitely don't see any virtual desktops unless I'm missing something.

I probably didn't help in describing the idea clearly, but who do you mean by " which you host "? My thought process was that it would work like this: Merchant - Hosts a a payment form, but it POSTs to the service's server basically <fo

If cardholder data is POSTed to your server, and then you send it on to a third party, then you're receiving and transmitting, and you've got to be in compliance. Why isn't anyone offering a thin wrapper service that lets you host a pay

Google Voice can be setup to basically give you free SMS, with the added bonus that you can send and receive to anyone, not just BB users.

I think the general miscommunication here is that you seem to be talking about desktop computing, while this article is focused on datacenter usage.

Yeah... it also changes the destinations based on which timeframe you choose up top. I'm willing to bet that Kayak is for the most part simply caching the results that other people have recently searched for on the site and showing those wh

Alabama up until recently offered a prepaid tuition program that you could pay into, and then it guaranteed to pay your tuition at any Alabama public university. This was a public trust, and I don't know how similar other states' implementa

Hrmm... how do you switch between views since they're triggered by hover on the desktop? It might actually work better on a mobile device since the hover switching is actually annoying, and would have been much better implemented on click i

To understand the 2022 date, you have to understand what the W3C currently means by "Recommendation." From here http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/FAQ : For a spec to become a REC today, it requires two 100% complete and fully interoperable impl

I really didn't pay a ton of attention to kuro5hin... but what I did read there wasn't what I would call right-wing. Essays like one that was abused to create the recent Wikipedia pedophile scandal were much closer to what I remember.

kuro5hin definitely shared the voting element, but other than that it was pretty different than the reddit or digg. It was more like a social blog, you didn't post links, you actually posted full essays and people voted and commented on the

I'm not saying you're wrong about this announcement, but honestly I see MS's strongest position right now to be with developers and in the enterprise. It's not going to happen overnight, but I think we're seeing a pretty strong shift away f

There are at least 3-4 competing extensions on Chrome so I'm sure there's a variability in the quality of them. This one has worked well for me: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/cdngiadmnkhgemki... But what you've said is true,

I'm completely lost here. Are you saying this is built into Chrome without an extension? I've definitely never noticed anything like this. Got a post or link I can see somewhere?

Shapewriter seems to be recommended alot, but I've only played with different keyboards a bit on my wife's Hero.

by lftl 16y ago
The biggest advantage Android has in this area is that Google doesn't have to get it "right" for everyone. On Android phones you can just switch to one of the other keyboard implementations if you don't like the default.

This did get me thinking about if there was a way to obscure the referrer without hitting the server side. Apparently in webkit-based browsers if you create an iframe, and inject some javascript to redirect to the desired link from inside t

This supposedly has a set of qualities nothing else out there has. Namely its royalty free (excludes H.264) and is high quality (excludes Theora). If those two claims hold true, VP8 has significantly more value than the current options an
