   With the price soaring to new heights, how do you pay for things in bitcoins when a single bitcoin is worth so much? Can you pay in fractions of a bitcoin?

   I don't know the precise answer to the original question. But with regards to AppCode it's pretty much a standalone product that has features IntelliJ doesn't. IntelliJ incorporates everything found in all the other IDEs like RubyMine and P

   Yeah - the nurble method. It's really the Clojure that looks the worst. Taking just the boolean query to figure out whether the word is in the noun list, I'd place them in this order from simplest to understand through to most obfuscated

   I think there's already a Show Duplicate files in Picasa. What does this do that it doesn't? Does iPhoto have a duplicate finder?

    I think it was fine. Maybe it's because of the music - it's a bit daggy.

    Great work! If I may, here's some feedback... But before that, let me explain why I'm interested in this kind of app. I like graphing stuff out - eg when reading some books recently I've drawn a visualisation of where the characters have go

    Just for some clarification, when I say fail, I really mean fail to do it well. Most of them at least manage to get it working but don't necessarily cover all the problems that can arise and can get it to 100%, with some prompting. It's a r
