People on the street are not interested in browser implementations and are therefore not the group which needs to be impressed in this case.

Probably nothing will happen. Nameservers for .ly are dns.lttnet.NET, dns1.lttnet.NET, ns-ly.ripe.NET, auth02.ns.uu.NET, phloem.uoregon.edu. Of these only dns.lttnet.net and dns1.lttnet.net are hosted in Libya. If the dictator will have the

Theora is derived from VP3 which, as the name suggests, is a predecessor to VP8 which Google recently renamed to WebM. As such, VP3 is inferior to VP8 (WebM) and a huge step backwards from H.264. One could also say that as long as software

From what is written in the post it seems that they managed to solve both problems. "Fresh out of college... trading tens of millions of shares daily for a billion-dollar hedge fund." "The mid 2000's when I finished college..." "My firm fin

There's also a typo on the tour page in the 'Few Goodies' section. You wrote 'Fuly' instead of 'Fully'. Other feedback: I am overwhelmed how great your design is.

AWS' pace of innovation is simply stunning. It shows that the business is not an afterthought for Amazon but rather treated as being of the same importance as their core business. Compare that to AppEngine and you have to say they leave the

I fully agree with this sentiment. This whole discussion about 3 or 2, which isn't really one for Python developers involved in the community, is hurting mainstream adoption the most. People don't like to learn a new language, when they're

I agree. While the inverted pendulum is fairly straight forward to implement with a PI controller, the 2-link pendulum is quite an accomplishment.

Sadly there's also the opposite side. I always try to talk to homeless people begging in the street, getting their attention by giving them a small amount of money. A few weeks ago I came to talk to this girl coming from a different country

Have you been travelling alone or with a friend / girlfriend / wife? I want to do this as well, but the biggest question for me seems to be who to go with or going alone (and then just trying to meet people everywhere)?

The software is downloading music from vKontakte (a russian Facebook clone) and maybe does some more indexing because it can display the bitrate of the songs. vKontakte has all the music, because they provide a music locker service to their

Apple is about as boring as every other tech company when it comes to those issues. The big difference though is, that people talk about it when these things happen there. With every other company everyone just ignores it. That makes Apple

It's also inspiring, and scary, to see that he's been broke before the Tesla IPO because he completely believes in the success of the companies he's involved with. That is unconditional faith in ability.

The Swiss tax system benefits people taking a mortgage on their house. When you own a house you have to pay taxes around what you would pay to rent the house. So when you don't have a mortgage on the house you pay twice. Once the "rent" plu
