Fly through Dubai. The airport mall kiosks sell Vertu phones.

That's why I mentioned glass. The parent stated «I don't know anyone who has "scratched" their phone screen.» The parent also asked if sapphire could be shattered or cracked. My response to both comments is probably what confused you.

You have a good point. I suspect, as sources of profiling data, Reader, Alerts, Wave, Buzz, etc. were not producing at the level of search and mail. Plus is to be seen, but it's already descending below the level of discourse on Facebook.

For common uses of "shatter" and "crack", yes, sapphire can. I've scratched the crap out of my 4s and 5 glass by forgetting "left pocket phone, right pocket keys" on too many occasions.

Sapphire has been used for watch crystals (and increasingly for case backs) for quite a while now. My "precious" digital camera has a sapphire cover on the LCD. It's interesting what they're doing in terms of shapes beyond sheets and simpl

No, you are not alone. I'm surprised we made it this far without python → snake → penis being mentioned.

You're right, I had absolutely no doubt that smiling-guy was involved. I thought it especially harsh since you can CSI his name from his badge in about ten seconds with Imagemagick or MS Paint.

In the USA and most commonwealth countries, there are conditions that can eliminate your reasonable expectations of privacy. Sitting in the middle of a bunch of people means that any one of them is free to repeat what you have said. I don'

"The focus on women as opposed to creating an appropriate environment for EVERYONE is a little disappointed." This is one of the "nuances" where I wasn't completely in accord with you. I agree that it would have been better (and made her s

Googling the incident returns all kinds of responses, including that they were both fired. I think you're right to wonder.

Having finally gotten through the DDOS-filter, I see from her account of the situation that my hopes were not enough to change reality. There is a bit of "here's an opportunity to make my point," that leverages a minor incident to reinforc

While I don't completely agree with every nuance of what you present, I am impressed with your ability to understand and articulate the complexities of the situation. "PyCon has codes of conduct, and procedures in place if those are not fol

"She should have contacted PyCon Staff if she felt uncomfortable." She did, and tweeted that they had responded and said they handled it.

It feels uncomfortable. I think the reaction here is much more harassing than any dongle/fork/whatever jokes two guys would have made in a conference.

I would like to think it's a temporary overcorrection. With the gender imbalance in higher education swinging the other way, one hopes that enough glass ceilings are eliminated that we can normalize to a state where "legitimate harassment"

It's also part of her branding. She consults and her primary web site is "butyoureagirl.com". It's completely appropriate for her to tweet her opinion. The thing I took from the photo (which I agree was a bit much) was that this woman of

I may be overqualified, but please review my resume... It's a poor decision, but if he was there "representing his company" (i.e., being paid while there) he probably tripped over a zero-tolerance policy on harassment.

He is still serving as a director on the board, so it's not as if he's being booted out of the company. He (or the shareholders) may choose to change that, but for the time being he is still involved directly in the well-being of the compa

With Scala, it's often inconvenient when leaning how quickly code can become not just deprecated, but uncompilable because of the culture of whim. Most people who end up hating Scala (or at least ruling out its use) seem to be unhappy with

You can write Smalltalk and Lisp outside of an IDE but you really wouldn't want to do so. You end up missing much of the power of the systems. Think of the IDE as part of your exocortex. Leverage it for the junk you don't need so you can

JPEG already supports multiple images per file. If you add EXIF data with manifest information with web rendering hints at the head, your thumbnail in the next frame, and your full-sized image after, you'd be on the track to awesomesauce.

My brain is having trouble parsing this as something other than "1:2 or 1/2". And no, those are not the odds.

I do not know if it is still the case, but when I worked at Amazon in the late 1990s, one of the aspects of the "frugal" culture involved all of us working in the Seattle DC during the run-up to the xmas holidays. You could be standing next

SGI = IRIX, DEC = Ultrix What you're thinking of is different from task/processor/thread affinity. Regarding SGI, I'm guessing you're thinking about the Onyx, which would have put it about 1993+. The R4x00s that were in the machine were no
