It's not suit-logic: I'm genuinely interested. Gruber had a blog post about how PowerBook specs from 2002 are equivalent to iPhone specs, and the Air's got gesture support. And Apple hasn't pre-announced anything, obviously, so everything

How is the concept of an iTouch tablet any different from a jailbroken iPhone with a bigger screen and a DisplayPort output?

It should delight them that writing proofs help you think about thinking logically, monads help you write abstract code, prime numbers (and the difficulty of factoring them) helps you think about encryption; it's just that explaining that "

I think it's just a sublime example of teaching. He made the kids care about the subject matter by making it relevant to them, and there are abundant examples of authors creating first-rate work by riffing off of old themes (Apollonius of

Given the trend in people packing less into smaller luggage, I wonder how feasible it would be to completely dispense with the overhead lockers and the cargo areas and have a bilevel plane, with slightly more room at the seats to stuff your

This is something a competent lawyer should advise you with. Songkick used (uses?) Gunderson Dettmer, Wilson Sonsini is quite popular in the Valley, and it sounds like you'll need significant experience, especially because you haven't post

It's a desert of photos, but being able to see a 70 megapixel Currier & Ives engraving of your home town circa 1879 ( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Currier_&_Ives_Br... ) is absolutely amazing.

The software itself doesn't work against you, but for people to have a good interface it has to go through a lot of use. (That's why bash, for instance, is so much better as a shell than GIMP is as a picture editor.)

What an unhelpful example of using continuations. Form verification always happens first on the client (to avoid a server roundtrip), and only if the user doesn't have JS enabled does it hit the server. When presented with that problem, no

If you use Damien Katz's Negative Captcha, you can even skirt the captcha, if your users aren't malicious: just have an invisible honeypot field called "email" for the botspam to fill out, and call the visible email field something else.

Words can't begin to describe what a bad idea it is to have comments semantically significant, as http://cms.thewikies.com/pages/how.html shows they are. See JWZ's take on such things: http://www.jwz.org/doc/cddb.html

K/V stores don't provide ACID properties themselves, but you could bolt them on pretty easily. For instance: Atomicity: save a journal of the pre and post values of any rows, and on commit take all of your staged changes and write them and

SQLite version 1 was implemented on top of a gdbm backend. They ran SQL queries on top of a key-value store. I wonder if Tokyo Tyrant, which has the goal of being a modern implementation of dbm, would make a good backend.

Quite true, and some of the Songkickers I knew in London said that Ryanair and Easyjet (two low-cost airlines) contributed immensely to European integration. That said, as a homo I found the Onion's article Gay-Pride Parade Sets Mainstream
