"Groupon is only floating a small amount of shares, 35 million – about 5.5% of its 637.3 million shares outstanding." This reminds me of Jason Fried's prank that 37 Signals valuation tops $100B! http://37signals.com/svn/posts/1941-press-re

Agreed or at least offer it as an option so we can throw Eifion a bone. Asciicasts is great when you prefer to read (e.g. on a Kindle during the daily commute).

I agree 100%, but maciej has also found something rare and rather special. A technically savvy group that has a non-technical use case and the ability to clearly articulate their need. Further, their needs are widely applicable to other gro

I just completed the course and it is very well done. If you want to teach to young children (especially boys), then a Khan Academy approach could be used where you narrate the course. Most of Khan Academy's success comes from Sal himself,

Well done. One suggestion is to use the Socratic Method ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method ) like "The Little Schemer". I would love to see "The Little Schemer" implemented on your site.

JRuby 1.7 has the major Invokedynamic changes. You can play with trunk for now.

Exactly. It depends upon which language, framework, programming style, etc. For game code you can look at ID's work. For java I hear the Jenkins code is very good. Ask around, there is no shortage of good code. My point is that as an appren

In this case the lawyers are an agent for Apple. Apple is the one with the patent claim and started the lawsuit. The real issue (IMO) is Apple, Microsoft, RIM, etc. colluding to kill Android. Android is a fundamental threat to their busines
