I'm no nuclear expert, but from what I gather very few people consider TEPCO or the Japanese regulators to have shown a high level of expertise in handling the Fukushima situation. Some of it was definitely bad luck, but most reports I see

Does jury selection for civil cases work similarly to how it does for criminal cases, with both sides questioning jurors and getting a certain number of strikes? If so, I can't help but think that whoever was responsible on Samsung's side f

I've got a HP printer pretty similar to the one mentioned in the thread. In the course of trying to set it up, I by chance pointed my browser to the printer's network printing port. Interestingly enough it printed out all my browser headers

I've only been able to sympathize with what you're saying a very few times. Probably because I've always driven cars that I only view as utilitarian. The interesting part to me is that the pervasiveness of this general sentiment in America

If I understand correctly, these are addressing two different issues. Namebench seems to be interested in finding out which DNS server will return a look up request the fastest. The OP though is saying that because global DNS providers don'

It takes more effort in vim, but for each example you've mentioned some vim user somewhere stopped and thought, "That's useful I wish I had that AND had it in vim." http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2715 http://www.vim.org/

Specs on the device page say a 216 ppi, am I missing something or did you mean to make your cutoff closer to the iPad at 250ppi?

It would be kind of odd if the government accused Apple of abusing monopolies it granted Apple in the first place.

I think he would have been really savvy to sell a large percentage of the tickets up front for the standard price, and then auction the remaining bit off as the time for the event nears. Cut out the scalpers, give a fair shake to the people

Propel's implementation of related collections definitely could use some improvement. In your example, you wouldn't necessarily lose your new object, it just wouldn't be persisted through a call to the parent order to save. My general habit

Interesting, I've been using Propel for so long I've probably internalized all the gotchas. What in particular caught you off guard?

I'm curious why you would choose Node.js instead today. I've done a little Node.js work, and I would unequivocally use it again for anything that needs a fair amount of concurrency, or high volume, lightweight requests. Other than that thou

Out of curiosity what are you doing in PHP where memory usage is an issue? PHP's standard life cycle, while having numerous disadvantages, avoids a lot of problems with memory usage. It's a rather different beat, but you might checkout Prop

Having just picked up Android development (and my first real usage of Java), I've been pretty happy using eclim ( http://eclim.org/ ). It bridges the gap nicely, I get eclipse's error checking, decent completion, automated import statements

.art struck me as odd. Is there that much commercial value in art online or is it so desirable for more sentimental reasons?

Investing inherently involves risk. Assuming there's nothing fraudulent in FB'S filing documents what would investors sue over?

Definitely not buying FB at this price, but the only argument I can see justifying the price is as more a long term valuation of them as a tech company. In other words, in the same way the Google is clearly no longer "just" a search engine,

Stay strong, don't give in to pressure by people who are sore because their open source free lunch is ending. I don't disagree with this sentiment, but the dual licensing is somewhat of a two-edged sword. If they're perfectly fine buildin

I think it's pretty clear from the introduction that this would just be a one-sided response to some of the government's weakest claims. It's essentially just reading one side's legal brief and ignoring the other. Particularly Dotcom comple

Pretty sure it's broken right now. It was working earlier, but it returns nothing now, and the password that was in place doesn't work any more.

My hint for level01 would be to look at the system line, and think about how it is executed.

We've used a similar effect in a sales collateral portal. We have a bunch of PDF sales sheets, and small brochures. The client wanted sales reps to be able to preview the PDF in a more lightweight form, and the page turn helps visualize the

I don't even understand what the last node.js entry is. Is that an array with two objects? Also, I'm on an old version of node, but my output matches jsc.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the whole point of Stripe's JS setup, Braintree's transparent redirect, etc. was that it takes your server out of scope of PCI compliance. Basically my server doesn't "store, transmit, or process" any

I think the biggest thing Google brought to table isn't necessarily the code for the OS, but a platform with momentum that others could easily tap into. I'm sure Huawei could have developed their own mobile OS platform, but convincing a ton

I would say the key reasons are: 1) They nailed package management early on. Apt doesn't feel revolutionary today, but in the 90s it was WAY better than what Redhat was using as it's package management core. 2) Debian's staunch adherence to
