That doesn't look so bad? From what I can see, it's probably just feature branches all coming from a single point (e.g. previous release) being merged one after the other. Any active project with a team upwards of a dozen people w

Do you have any source for this trial? I can't seem to find any trace of it when googling. Also Henry Ford died in 1947 and had cerebral issues before that, so if the trial did happen in the 50s it was either brought by his successors

My own answers, with test data: https://gist.github.com/Pluies/5663135 Despite thinking I knew SQL reasonably well, I wouldn't have fared very well at all in an interview setting. :/ Took more time and googling than expected.

In OS X (well, Snow Leopard at least), YOU_ARE_DEAD throws an error because `seq` doesn't exist in OS X and brew doesn't have it. This script does the trick: http://www.askdavetaylor.com/step_through_count_numeric_valu...

D'oh... Indeed. With the Wiki link and all. My bad.

The lone hero is reminiscent of the archetypical Kantian concept of Übermensch ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Cbermensch ). Interesting article, but blockbuster posters come in a myriad of formats - I was actually expecting a "hero p

There is actually a minuscule link to the document at the very bottom of the http://apple.co.uk/ homepage, as "Samsung/Apple UK judgement" next to "Privacy Policy" and "Use of Cookies".

The post and your comment resonate somehow, as I recently set on to travel across a country and live out of a backpack. I used to own a DSLR for three years, but thinking it would be a bit bulky to travel I ended up getting a Fujifilm X100

If by "adopted" you mean "are being considered in part of a plan pitched to the Prime Minister", then yes, otherwise... Well let's just say I've worked in a French administration's IT dept and they tend to take their time.

Zimmerman, obviously! On a more serious note, it appears that the Nobel Prize can be awarded to organizations, which would make CERN the most likely recipient. This said, as far as I can say only the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded in su

There's probably some selection bias working here. I'm sure plenty of people predicted things going to happen in the future, and we only hear of either the surprisingly correct ones or the ones completely off the mark.

If I'm not mistaken, Dreamweaver uses a lot of custom JS code to generate pages and usually prefixes it with "MM_". I've had the displeasure of seeing one of these functions recently, and let's just say it's not pretty JS.

But it means a higher cost of entry for competitors in the mobile space; something that seems like a good thing for both Microsoft and the Android makers.

Meh. Google was "yahoo search but simpler/better", FB was "myspace but non-customisable". Twitter is arguably more innovative, but could be summarised as "the texting of internetz".
