Yeah for some reason oreilly doesn't use the same system for final books and rough cuts. Rough cuts are on safari, their online book library service, while regular books are just available from oreilly.com. I think it's because each rough c

i've notice that if you go at an angle it's easier to yank the magsafe cable. straight on it a lot stronger. I'm assuming ti's due to the angle making the force be applied to a small region and not the whole magnet.

Doesn't that make it even easier? But then again I think 400 megaton isn't enough. Last time I calculated it ( I probably made a ton of mistakes ;p) it was in the the 10s of thousands or something like that. Accelerating the space shuttle t

Yeah I don't think it's impossible to build a bomb that big, as far as I understand it, no one felt like building bigger bombs than tsar bomba because it becomes useless, if I'm not mistaken after 400 megaton or so, most of the energy will

You are probably right, but is it possible they saw the type of business that iFlowReader what doing, not them in particular but the general idea, as something they wanted to be in and they were looking at making it hard for others to compe

Microsoft used to take on little companies too and either buy them out or run them out of business with any means necessary. If you wait too long they get hard to kill.

I'm sure it will be extended to countries other than Canada soon ;p In a way I'm proud that we get excluded from all these kind of things. Shows our current laws are hated by the MPAA/RIAA people.

I'm not sure how that would work, for the hash to be the same you would need the original song right? If they use sha1 or something like that how are you going to go from hash to song?

It would be like presuming guilt, you don't have to prove those mp3s are legal they have to prove that you stole them. Also having mp3s isn't the same as distributing mp3s. tptacek is right I believe. As far as I understand it, every p2p c

TSL3 was drawing in excess of 70k viewers for their tournament. It's not a bad deal considering this is real viewers and not "Nielsen family" style calculations.

Wouldn't that require it being in the kernel right now?

I did not realize that the cases where closed and all. What happens if they are found not guilty and try to get the money back? While the other 200K they usually get is probably from small amounts not worth the fight. These are huge sums th

I was going to say the same thing, there real issues with college and education but the whole debate right now is starting to feel like a lot of sensationalism. I went to college and did Mathematics. Why? Cause it looked cool. Was I good at

I can't point to any (GMail client side code must be pretty big), but I do have a 5K one that I work on daily and it's not a mess. This project is still very much in development and will grow with time. It's not 50k and it's for sure not a

"My (and your) 10k, 100k, 200k line C# applications are not writable in JS." I don't know that this will be true for very much longer, if it's not already been disproven. Javascript isn't the greatest language out there but it's gain functi

Why am I not suprised. I know you're not supposed to judge patents just by their title but this one is about as broad as it gets. There should be a penalty for making broad claims like that. And anyone should be able to challenge a patent b

I disagree with this, let's not forget RMS did a lot of "cracking" himself, like the ITS password hack and some shady things like reverse engineering code from Symbolics and gave it to Lisp Machine. GeoHotz did a hard and ingenious hack to

I second the comment about the explanation. It was the best explanation of Bitcoins I've seen (even if it's trying to show that's it's flawed.)

I think this is a very important thing that people don't understand. Static money supply in a world where as you point it out population increases means deflation. And increasing popluation is only one example of the need for inflation. We

Most parent that can already do send their kids to private school. But we have to admit that public schools often get the short end of the stick in most state budget discussions. Even if parents contribute more (taxes) it ends up not being

Yeah that's true, Canvas is a huge win also. I use both extensively for my current work project. The File Api is also pretty awesome, I'd tie it up to local storage. In the field (Medical imaging) I'm in, allowing users to load data from th

That's good news, WebSockets is probably the second coolest thing to come out of the HTML5 movement, right after WebGL I think. Everything else is cool and all but those two are major changes.

I guess it's to the point that what is in your head is no longer yours. Never had to deal with those kinds of issues personally but if someone told me I couldn't get another job somewhere else for a few years to keep what's in my head safe

yeah, they might arrest you for 90 days and figure out if they are spiked with poison or something. I'd suggest not doing it ;p

basically his point is that the internet is the open index. At least that's what I think I understand. Centralizing it all so that one company has to run the index would mean that company would have to foot the entire bandwidth bill which t

I might have the wrong picture of the situation but Mozilla seems to have been reluctant to adding new stuff google and the chrome team are trying to push while the opposite is completely different. Maybe I'm biased since I think Mozilla sh

But you see that 10K you saved shouldn't be the money you use to invest and Bootstrap. That 10K should be the cash you keep around for emergency. But frankly I'd probably do exactly what you have done personally so take that advice with a g
