Wow, I really like the results, especially the 'see also' section. (Give a search for "pearl" a go for a good example.) More focused searches also worked well ("javascript array split" got me the result I wanted). I also liked the fall back

They sell the iPhone in parts of the world with different legal systems, including Europe which has fairly tough competition laws. (WP quotes.) - If a firm has a dominant position, because it has beyond a 39.7% market share then there is "

It depends on your usage pattern. I take the train to work and always get a seat, so by carrying my Eee I recover an 40-60 minutes a day. If I had to stand up on the train, an Android phone or an E71 (or at last resort, an iPod) would be a

But also less essential. Which is more important (for one person), 4x$25k or 4x$250k? I would argue 4x$25k - as that is enough to go independant - miss capitalising on one revenue source and you are toast. The person with a single $250k inc

Will you fix the flashblock thing? It might not be a problem to your target audience but (due to general abuse of Flash on the internet) I and many others keep it on all the time.

The people, like this guy, who might consider you are well hidden behind a wall of HR drones. Therefore if you do have lateral experience you either need to _also_ be able to pad your CV well enough to get past them, or otherwise hope that

I modded you back up because people who write civil comments sharing another opinion don't deserve to be modded down just for being wrong.

My 1000/Linux can run Eclipse, but it only runs well when in high performance mode which shaves the battery life significantly. Even the most ludicrous text editor you can think of should be fine. It wasn't that long ago that a 1.6ghz machi

Just curious, but how many really high volume websites do run on MSSQL? MySQL might not be all singing and all dancing but being able to handle load by throwing free boxes at it must be nice, and using MSSQL server in an environment where y

That is an _option_ you can take if you do not wish to distribute the source code directly with the binaries. The GPL is actually pretty flexible on how you get code to people, and provides a number of routes. For many projects (especially

I doubt Apple will care, as ad-hoc apps: - Don't show up in everyone's app store (the developer has to add you to the list.) - Can only be distributed to 100 people. If they did ban Podcaster for anti-competative reasons then 100 less peopl

No, it doesn't. In fact there is one available free from the App store. You may not route VOIP over 3G, but it is fine over WiFi.

And, of course, Scott Adams did quit to start his own thing. So it isn't like he doesn't know about the experience... it just isn't funny for most people as they can't relate to it.

The new iPod touch has to be activated (like the iPhone) with iTunes before you can use it. The one I saw today couldn't be used because activation depended on a firmware update, and iTunes kept crashing before the update could complete.

There is some confusion about just how illegal it is in the US. The EULA does not permit it, but that isn't the same thing as it being against the law - especially since the EULA is presented post-purchase. (This assumes you bought your cop

Acer actually do make some nice laptops, no, really, I'm not kidding. There are a few sexy/slim/light ones. But they are not the laptops they sell for $399. Those are pretty much not laptops but rather movable computers - they serve _a_ pur
