Do you have 20 years of data points from Rome in 30 AD?

Some of them may have been conscious: "At least some of the astronauts were likely alive and briefly conscious after the breakup, as three of the four Personal Egress Air Packs (PEAPs) on the flight deck were found to have been activated. I

It would offer a bit of an incentive for anyone thinking of upgrading to Lion. Why not throw in the IDE? I'm just not sure that they will.

If Xcode isn't worth $4.99, then how outrageous is Textmate's $56 license? I use neither, since free tools are available for what I do, and they get the job done quite well.

I do wonder: for how long will Xcode 3 remain available on Apple's site? I also wonder what they may attempt to do to effectively break Xcode 3, or make it where Xcode 4 is necessary for future development? I wouldn't put it past them.

Xcode has normally shipped with OS X install DVDs (though a lot of folks download it anyway, as this gets you the latest version). I'm wondering if they'll ship it with Lion. I'm guessing that they will not.

Even MS gives away its Express Editions for VS. I'm a little surprised to see Apple move to a paid model, though $5 is very cheap, I admit.

Yes, but Eclipse is still free.

Hell, Xcode was on the OS X install discs. You didn't even need to download it, unless you wanted the latest version. Not anymore, I guess?

I've met some fellow cyclists on the local circuit who looked borderline anorexic, because they took the "lose all possible weight" theme as far as they could. Even some pro cyclists look unhealthy, to me. What I'm getting at is that someti

You can try to. But realistically, you're up against Big Media, and while it is theoretically possible to compete against them, good luck trying. It's one thing to be able to freely express a point of view, but quite another to be in a posi

Can we say that what many modern nations have right now is, in fact, that "something in between"? Is it possible that what we have now is the natural progression towards a general equilibrium between the role of the state, and the role of c

Of course I can't rule out them getting it right in future releases, and I hope that they do. I was talking about what is out there in the MS ecosystem, today.

That would be an example of yet more problems originating from MS products, then, right? I don't see why MS can't get this right. MS has the resources to produce a good product, but when it comes to the web, they fall on their faces.

I know that page shouldn't crash any browser, really, but the crash happens as a result of poorly-written HTML (a missing </form> tag) that IE can't seem to handle.

That depends on where you live. For a US-based audience, the answer to all of these will probably be, "No."

They also broadcast a very useful live stream. It's on the Tubes, and it is relevant.

"Rep grinds" (see how MMO-speak has influenced us?) on non-gaming web sites may be becoming the norm. You grind out some rep, and get privileges based on that rep. One can argue that this serves as an effective barrier to keep out would-be

Unless something has changed, you still cannot get a Kindle from amazon.ca. Instead, you've got to go through amazon.com, and there are restrictions on the books that you can buy, if you do it in Canada.

"504 Gateway Time-out" Edit: It's a popular link right now, understandably. Sometimes it's working, sometimes it isn't.

This is an unfortunate move, though I expect that the community will do what it can to pick up the pieces here (which Oracle seems to state openly that they want to see happen). NetBeans has improved so much over the years, I hate to see "o

I live in a country (Canada) that falls under the article's counterexamples. We have four parties in Parliament. None of them can break out of the 30s, currently, in terms of their polling numbers. In addition, no party has actually won a m

Why must it be either a Democratic or Republican candidate? This seems to be a major weakness in American politics, that a failure with one party leads to people endorsing the other, regardless of their positions and merit. I know it is eas

I can't say that this surprises me. Though I don't necessarily share what may be the dominant opinion regarding the guy's character, Lance probably has nothing to do with any of this.

It is a holiday in the US, today, right? At least, the markets are not open. The timing of this announcement is almost certainly not a coincidence. On a more personal note, good luck, Steve!

Contractors can work out well, as long as they are treated like contractors. I've seen (and personally experienced) too many situations where employers are simply looking to hire an employee (while calling them a "contractor"), without havi

The units are given in inches, so I'm not sure. People do use inches in Canada, but in weather reports, one usually sees centimetres.

It is an option, but an intentionally-difficult one. It is often easier to move products across borders than people. The nice thing about the Internet is that you don't always have to care.
