Here was me thinking that the guys attending defcon were more introverts than sleezes.

JPEGmini is oozing with professionalism. "Save disk space with JPEGmini for Mac, tweet you savings". I would honestly stay clear of such a company, and not just based on their scammy contests.

The headline merely states that Samsung won the bid to sell Nexus phones inside the courtroom.

Copy the hex value! XD Seriously though, how would you go about picking the same colour twice without just giving a finite list of colours and unique names for each ?

It doesn't scale automatically though :( I shrunk the page and it did not like that :P I assume "scaleable" is by a size value defined on creation?

Do you want to give comment to why you thought this was worth a look? I can't see anything special about it, but maybe I have missed something ?

Sadly it means the customer is always right. So if the customer says "nope I didn't get it", then they get their money and the product. Similar to how paypal works really.

You could always get in to bed with pubs and bars and offer a "order a tab" form on your site. Or hell, make the tab city wide. User puts a 50$ tab on, your system integrates with the pubs/clubs who buy drinks against the tab and you take a

I work on systems where D) is perfectly reasonable. Where one "small" change results in a hell of a lot of regression testing and doc changes. What I don't get is that they are keen to modify php source. But not to just keep using the same

I am mostly on the side of the bug reporter here. PHP changed the behaviour of a simple method that has been there since PHP4 (which is oooold). It returned 0 previously for "", why change it now? Was "" == 0 a bug ?

Curiosity and bluntness makes me ask: how much for?

While this is cool, it is neither new or good. The result looks great, no paint used! Must be ok? To me it would still seem there was a cost of cleanup, therefore damage has been done. For the council to remove the graffiti they would have

"At the end of the day, a lawsuit against TheOatmeal in this situation is just a really bad idea" My favourite line.

Why do people seem to think the two different links are the same? One is direct, one is a splash page :(

"it doesn’t cost Verizon any more money to serve data to two devices instead of one" That is two connections to two different devices they must create and handle. At home, your wifi router does this and they provide you with one pipe but yo
