When I want to watch content the first thing I do is check to see if it's available to buy on itunes. If it is I pay, if not I go to pirate bay and download it, simple as that. I've just started watching The Killing season 3. I was only int

I visited Phoenix a couple of weeks ago and was shown a gun collection owned by a previous member of the army. I was shown a pistol collection, then rifles, then semi-automatics. Really a quite staggering amount of hardware. When I asked wh

Ha, just found the "discuss" option. Was really wondering how you add more detail to a task, the whole product makes a lot more sense now.

Global file uploads seems a bit off, could work in fixed length projects but for ongoing projects it makes more sense to associate uploads with goals. Thinking about it dropbox integration would be ideal i.e. when a goal is created a dropbo

Yeah, I don't think you should ever say, "I don't understand", it comes off as lazy, you're making the other person do all the work. Give them a little more to go on, tell them what you've understood so far and what you need clarification o

Perhaps a sensible middle road would be to ask customers whether they want to enable "child protection filters" when they sign up to an ISP. This way parents have the best possible chance of protecting their children without the danger of o

I presumed you just return the value and that the print was in the outer loop, seems you need to include the print statement in your method.

Bit confused by the ruby version. The signature you're given is: #!/bin/ruby # Head ends here def fizzbuzz_solve n end # Tail starts here I presumed this meant you were supposed to return a value of n, fizz, buz

Art has always been a fuzzy term. My personal interpretation, today at least, is that what you're referring to is "craft", the ability to skillfully manipulate materials to either create something attractive or a piece of art. "Art" on the

I worked on an OLAP based product until 3 years ago. The source data was in a lotus notes application that was updated by nearly 100 different researchers. We imported the lotus notes data into our data warehouse every night. I can't tell y

How about you offer some pricing with the idea and then give backers a discount? Might work with a mail list, people sign up to get an opportunity for discounts on potential products they'd like to use. Would skew the audience but that's go

Seeing as delete will remove a tab I think shift-tab would be better used for the normal behaviour, take you to the next input.

This does sound a bit tenuous, what difference does it make if your neighbours change? You don't like people carrying luggage in the lift?

I'm curious to know if you use a mouse or trackpad. I get the same connection with the page by twitching the page with two finger scrolling on my trackpad.

Wouldn't this be better as a new lightweight generator for the existing rails project? i.e. $ rails new api instead of $ rails new My concern is that rails-api will diverge from rails and I'll be stuck having to decide which is the easiest

This is awesome! Just been playing my guitar with it. When the strings are vibrating you can see spikes where they cross over the frets. What's great is that when you change chords the pattern of the spikes changes.

I hear a lot of talk about how hard it is to maintain sql schemas and columns. I've used mongodb on projects previously and while it was interesting I didn't find that the lack of schema made life any easier. Writing a migration in rails is

Am I right in understanding that your service only offers tests? Does it actually teach any english or is just a way to track your current level?

Hmm, I started using heroku a long time ago so I'm not sure what their on ramp is like now. Their docs have definitely become more complicated than they used to be though. Looking at your dotcloud steps though, heroku would be. 1. Sig

Really?! I've used heroku and dotcloud for a while, I'd say that heroku wins on ease of setup. Dotcloud on the other hand allows you far greater flexibility in your setup. I'm aware that heroku's usability has decreased a smidge since they

I often find myself repeating similar styling between semantic elements. I know that I could factor the common rules together but it never seems to quite work out that way. LESS/SASS gives us an opportunity to use both approaches together i

I'm not sure I buy this. Reading a book for example, you always read a book linearly. When I'm reading code I'm looking for different details at different times, I'm doing a lot of scanning. Sometimes it's functions, other times variables,

I had a similar experience switching to a macbook air. It really does make a difference when you can walk around holding your laptop easily in one hand. It's a 13incher so I don't hold it for prolonged periods but I do find I move it around

Genuine question, what's the difference between semantic markup and OOCSS. My understanding of semantic markup is that you only use classes when you're referring to trees of markup e.g. .section p{} as opposed to just p{}. What's the practi

Seems there are different views on this. Maybe you should add something to your profile indicating if you want to receive unsolicited emails from startups.
