   I think he's saying that he set up a web crawler to scrape python.org, and he was hoping that in the process it had made copies of those Wiki pages. He's apologizing that, as it turns out, the crawler did not make it to those pages after al

   Doesn't appear to include the original D&D set (those little books with the black and white covers), but a quick Google search indicates that PDF scans (if not originals) are floating around out there.

   I haven't played since I was a teenager (you know, when these books were new). I have absolutely no way to justify buying any of this stuff, but I have the feeling that the feelings of nostalgia will win out.

   This is a topic I've been interested in for some time now and this looks to be at the right level (i.e. absolute beginner) for me, so thanks very much for sharing. Can anyone point me to a similar resource for the Raspberry Pi?

   I agree that the Rails halo effect probably had a lot to do with it. That's certainly where I first heard about it.

   This doesn't seem to work on IE9 (either that, or I just don't understand how it's supposed to work). All of the examples appear to me as plain old editable text fields.

   After reviewing their list of "Top 10 Floating Sheep Maps" that appears in the sidebar, it's a reasonable assumption that this is a site with a certain world view. The readers who agree with that world view (say, /r/politics) won't particul

    If I had to choose, I'd pick this commit message over "bug fixes" or other similarly uninformative commit messages.

    How does that prove that an FBI laptop was the source of this information (per the grandparent post's question)?

    Google's really good for those sorts of questions. But yes, they were a shared hosting provider that was one of the early leaders in supporting Rails application deployment.

    I disagree, unless he meant "you, you specifically". An employee's departure can act as a wake-up call for a company's leadership and subsequently lead to changes at the company.

    One of the tags at the end of the post is "LinkedIn". Could be a red herring, but that would be my guess (seeing as his post doesn't otherwise refer to them).

    As an amateur musician, and a longtime fan of Downbeat magazine's "blind listening" tests, this was an interesting read for me. But I concur that it seems out of place here. P.S. That recording of "Desafinado" that he comments on is one of

    The author's web site ( http://rigoneri.com/ ) is cited as an example "Syte", but when I view that page on my iPad the right-hand side of the page is chopped off. Doesn't seem to be all that responsive (despite the author's claims).

    Is the content in this version any different from the ebook by the same author and published by O'Reilly? (Because I bought the latter awhile back...)

    Seems like a safe bet that the parents are overreacting to their kids' reports of the book's contents. I can imagine a young teenager mentioning the fact that the children in Ender's Game are sometimes nude (albeit in a nonsexual way). Ther

    I'm not sure if it matters, but are you using a "regular" Gmail account or Google Apps for Your Domain? I'm doing the latter and still can't get it to stick (tried again this morning before posting). When I quit and restart Sparrow it canno

    I stopped using Sparrow due to a bug in their implementation of two-factor authentication for Gmail (it would always "forget" my app-specific password on startup). I got at least one (unhelpful) response to my support request(s) but the tra
