bookdepository.com is the one I often hear about. Particularly because Amazon isn't available in all countries, and The Book Depository's prices are sometimes pretty comparable. Shipping is still 1-2 weeks though.

Is there a problem with that? Taxes are there to benefit the society, not the individual. In Norway's case, it definitely seems to be a benefit for society.

The challenge is that, after a certain period, additional training becomes a requirement of continued payment. So, if you're 20-something and been out of work for 6 months, they'll require you receive training and qualifications i

Spotify's implementation is actually very clever; they've accomplished it in a way that doesn't involve repositioning background images like nearly every other library out there. They also stick to native functions as much as

For FED's that are curious, iOS doesn't fire requestAnimationFrame or update the DOM when the user is scrolling natively, which is why it appears very jumpy on those devices.

I think this approach actually disregards the original purpose of copyrights. To judge its importance before it has the opportunity to realise any cultural impact would be a pretty biased approach; since word length, or duration, or simplic

You can also just snapshot them, and roll-back when you're done.

Its a virtual machine though, just make a snapshot once you have it booted and working as you'd like, and roll it back when you're done. If I remember, that was Microsoft's recommendation as well.

If it were uploaded to YouTube servers, and shared across CDN's around the world, would that not be distribution in the finer sense? Additionally, "private" is different than unlisted, and the video can still be shared publicly, just in a l

My knowledge is quite basic on the subject, but how would this be a first amendment issue?

Really, what is wrong with providing more than one way to reach out to abused children?

Since this is a UK Government site, I think the Equality Act 2010 requires WCAG 2.0 AA compliance. As difficult as WCAG is, and I've yet to see a fully-passed implementation, the lack of no-JavaScript support probably means they haven't met

I agree. If you weren't aware of this book, followed that link, liked what you saw, and then purchased it, why shouldn't the person who linked you to it in the first place have some kind of reward? (particularly since Amazon pays it, not th

Just to nitpick, the post you linked to by Ian Hickson does illustrate how DRM has been used to limit functionality, but both your post and his doesn't explain why "copyright protection" is a straw-man? I don't believe it is a fair argument

I don't know much about the pipes actually, but I do believe a new one is being constructed. That said, I am curious to know the answer to this question too. I guess torrenting within the borders will be a speedy affair however.

For sake of argument, would you sue AA if just one flight was delayed 3 hours?

Fixing Microsoft isn't an engineering problem; if it were, I'd wager their thousands of engineers would've done it already.

Whole range of advisory, strategic or research roles perhaps. Roles like these don't necessary require strong soft-skills or sales\marketing chops.

I've noticed that any time we hear "strong" or "weak" (in discussions such as these) we always assume the definitions to mean physical attributes and abilities, and then it is ultimately comes down to performance, agility, pain tolerance, e

Pretty much the run of the mill employment contract will claim ownership of an employees creations, most regardless of whether that creation has anything to do with their every day activities. Some go so far as to claim all creations relate

Its worth remembering that the conflict might not be to the company's activities, but rather, to activities performed for a client. Some clients may be substantially upset if they feel that they have paid for development, to have that devel

Why should they? Its the responsibility of USPTO to ensure its agents are acting appropriately by following the rules and standards they set out. Unless the person responsible was doing something malicious, I don't see why they should be re

"Coincides" was the keyword from that quote. Correlation isn't causation. I think the entire statement is a little alarming; it kind of implies that a lack of sexual outlet will inevitably lead to rape.

This is very very similar to how it works for tertiary education in Australia too.

I can see it handy when using a Middleman with its live-reloading functionality. Probably just for documentation purposes; or showing off the whole process of development.

For quite some time there were API calls in Facebook that would return the ID's as numbers, not strings. It wasn't specific to the entire API though, only some calls would show the behaviour. As you can imagine, PHP did not like it. It was

The Australian government made WCAG 2.0 a mandatory requirement of all government sites. Many claim to conform to the Double-A requirement, but very few bodies do accreditation and the standard itself is almost incomprehensible. A List Apar
