It's like Wolverine's healing factor that went crazy once Magneto stripped the adamantium off his bones.

If somebody steals your money from a bank, the bank can replace it. If somebody steals your data from the cloud, there's no way to make things ok.

Yes, you're right, that makes more sense. Now let's never bring this up ever again for fear of confusing people some more.

Agreed. Sessions and the limitations of forms are the biggest obstacles to 100% restful APIs used from web browsers.

Like others I bought the ebook back in May. Is the final version different enough to make me re-read it now?

Why should this guy be punished for people downloading stuff from some other website? Why is Real going after him and not the other website? How can they know how much traffic this guys sent to the other website? THIS IS CRAZY!

An EEG is probably necessary for official reasons, before a "certificate of death" can be issued. But there is a point where the emergency rescuers have to give up, and it probably takes hours before the EEG can be done.

Hopefully Google will use some of those $3B to lobby against software patents.

By 'dressed up', I mean choose a set of colors (say 3) and use them for recurring elements in your pages (titles, questions, etc). Try to use colors and white space to visually separate questions, rather than borders (ex: the legend tag use

While it is good that you kept the UI very lean, you would probably benefit from having a UI/UX guy help you with making the app feel a bit more 'dressed up'. Currently this looks like a developer designed it (I should know, I suffer from t

You could allow access to that link about 5 times. After that, display a link that says something along the lines of "Thanks for using us. This link has been used 5 times already. If you wish to access it again, click here and we will send

Does not exist yet. There's no final spec for this, and Opera just started experimenting with it. http://my.opera.com/core/blog/2011/03/23/webcam-orientation-...

Looks like work-in-progress. Their HTML is a mess, and the homepage doesn't even have a title tag.

Never heard of them, I thought they had a service to create gif images of letters. Char-GIF-y.

So what kind of servers/load are we talking about? This is really interesting, I'd love to hear some figures.

I don't doubt a lot of money goes into allowing some people into ivy league schools. But why should that counterbalance the fact that if you're born poor then chances are you won't go to college, especially a good one? In the end, some espe

"The more poor, the more financial aid is available". Why isn't everyone able to go to an ivy league school then? Your statement implies that by being poor, you get lots of free money, which is basically saying there's nothing below the mid

As a foreigner who never had to pay for his education (provided for free by the government), I find it disheartening to see that no one (even here) brings up the issue that everyone should have access to education. Some kid whose only faul

The eco-friendliness of a car does not come down to its MPG only. You also need to look at how much greenhouse (and other) gases come out from the combustion. New cars tend to do better. But on the other hand, building a new car requires lo

Can someone explain this to me? "For example, participants estimated that line-drying clothes saves more energy than changing the washer’s settings (the reverse is true)" Makes no sense to me. "Changing" doesn't mean anything. I'm sure the

I like how the reasoning behind the move to MP3s instead of discs is that MP3s don't wear out. Because, you know, hard disks don't wear out either... And with the whole move-to-digital thing, you might think you have less stuff, but what yo
