Doesn't seem to work for me. Just shows one marker on each of the maps (none of which are in the same continent as my location). Won't chrismacnaughton.com fall foul of GMaps usage limits? Like the idea though...

No, I absolutely agree that would be a sensible and possible option, and I've read that the Swedish police have done it before in other recent cases. I've not heard any compelling explanations why this hasn't been attempted, though IMO, Ass

To be fair to the Swedish government, they can't offer a guarantee like this. Assange and his lawyers are taking advantage of this fact. According to Swedish law, any application that comes in in the future has to be dealt with in court. Th

FTA: "I’d been told he might be heavy weather. Fame is a terrible burden, and understandably the famous must find ways of dealing with sycophants, detractors and intruders." Well he certainly had to deal with a sycophant that day. "Julian A

That's amazing! I snipe at link to a post which happens to be written by a woman, and you conclude that I'm sexist and a racist to boot. Do you also read tea leaves?

Well this makes sense to me in a way that the post didn't. I didn't identify 'tech' as meaning 'VC ruling class'. I guess I'm just obtuse.

What is this mysterious drivel? Who is brianvan5155 and why hasn't he made any comments? How has this made it to the front page? What can it all mean?

IME, that's pretty much all of them. But then I think that nearly everyone has a tendency to think that anything they don't fully understand must be simple. You don't have to hang around here or on Slashdot for long to see that programmers

I got a great deal of fun and benefit from an old copy of Dietel's "C: How to program" (seems that recent editions have C++ in it too now, so it may have changed a lot). Takes you through writing an interpreter and then a compiler for a toy

In the past I've had to build minor widgets for the Flash runtime like a chromeless video player, or a 'sound manager', and Haxe has worked out great. A 'text-editor and compiler' environment, no licence fees, and none of the battling with

Did you try background-position: top center; on the body element? Works better for unusual size windows (IMO).

I don't know about that, you know. Just because there's a minor zooming bug in iOS, I wouldn't say your iPad is totally unusable.

RSS feed of profiles should be high on your priority list. Easy to implement, and bound to be very effective.

What's the betting that the developers brought up the plaintext password problem at the time and were overruled? I've lost this argument with PHBs in the past. They want to be able to send password 'reminders'. Sometimes they want to be abl

But America is not well known for extending more -- never mind equal -- rights to non-citizens than to citizens, despite the clear intentions of the authors of the Bill of Rights.

Interestingly, the Dyson design was based on an existing cyclone system widely used to separate out dust and particles in industrial settings. The innovation was using the process in a domestic vacuum cleaner. So it's not too far removed fr

Good advice. Except for the bit at the end where he advises you to make a false police report. Check with local police, as they may organise free destruction of unwanted weapons.

290 sq ft is about 27 sq m, which is about normal for a studio here in Lyon, France. http://seloger.com has 2700+ apartments in central Paris alone which are smaller than 27 sq m. I have no opinion on whether it would be good for SF. Smal

This comment completely describes my situation. PHP is like javascript: I use it not because it's good, but because it's what's available. People can bitch about PHP as much as they like, but my project for today is hosted on a server runni
