Even if the purchase agreement is actually enforceable, would buying something on ebay even count as entering into that contract? Also, what does "In order to be recognized as a work of art the contract must be adhered" mean? Is there actu

"He was very shaken by the whole situation, as were his parents," Luque said. Well that will teach him to be interested in electronics. It's a good thing that there's an overabundance of kids going into science and engineering, otherwise

Not that I would suggest writing such a thing, but I did happen to look at the vote while httpfox was running. They seem to be using google analytics events to track the voting. There was also a request to scorecardresearch, but a quick l

I also had a basket filled beforehand. So far, I've gotten as far as the basket screen, but haven't made it to checkout yet.

It's tough to get every case of this and still have an autosuggest. They also got "muslims are" in the block list, but even then "muslims can" returns "muslims can not be trusted" within the top couple results.

Even though it would needlessly complicate the UI, I wouldn't mind a way to set what I thought the comment was 'worth' so that my vote would automatically adjust in the direction of that ideal. That way I could vote up a comment that I thou

"Think about that. If we could cut down on car crashes by even 5% we could save more than 2,000 lives!" I don't know whether or not this is true, but the argument is fallacious. Without further evidence, it is a bit premature to assume tha

Yeah, it would definitely be tough to figure the numbers out. I got the orange box mostly for TF2, and I'm sure I'm hardly alone. But other than the actual TF2 only purchases, it's tough to separate how many units TF2 really shipped.

Agreed, but I think this article is railing against a strawman. The choices aren't between basic and C++. Python, for example, can be used with simplicity rivaling most dialects of basic, but it is also a fairly powerful and expressive la

Or "review link" for that matter. It isn't all that uncommon to have an interesting story that links to a page that is just repeating content from a better and more complete source.

Or at the very least, add an openid option so I can just log without having to create a new account.

Don't forget about google street view. It doesn't provide the nice bird's eye view that this does, but there is street level coverage of a good chunk of the city.

If that ever became a problem, then surely it wouldn't be that much trouble to write a script that outputs it in whatever markup happens to be popular at the time.

18 computers and other equipment stolen from the district This seems slightly ambiguous to me. Were there 18 computers, plus some other equipment? Or were there 18 items, among which which was at least one computer? In either case, it'

If I remember correctly, "removing" these functions mostly just meant dumping them into the functools module rather than including them as a built in function.

The fact that he proposed removing map, reduce, filter, and lambda from Python 3. In the case of map and filter, is there any compelling reason to use either of those instead of list comprehensions or generator expressions?

Most any decent school for CS will have at least one student group that is very project oriented. It's not just a matter of meeting people, but rather meeting people who can help introduce you to new ideas and work on projects that are bey

"that's something that should make its way into other languages" It's starting to, to some extent. C#, for example, has had inferred types available since 3.0, though it still requires using the "var" keyword when declaring variables.

He does touch on that a bit towards the end. For the most part, he seemed to view that sort of success as an artifact of the transition between traditional mass media and internet media. In particular, his view seemed to be that the mecha

For what it's worth, the GUI shown in jurassic park was a real system from SGI http://sgistuff.g-lenerz.de/movies/jpark.php . Granted, it's pretty unrealistic that it would be used in a production system, much less the security controls f

I do like that they make it easy to get to the best negative reviews. In general, I find that they tend to be the most useful by far.

I'm guessing that the author of the page is looking to create a version of the 99 prolog problems aimed at web apps. Given that the page is editable, I'm guessing that they're looking for help putting it together. It probably would have he

The YC application does specifically have an entry for alternate ideas, so at least in this case it's probably a plus if anything. Plus, pg makes a big point of the way startup ideas change over time, so I doubt that being focused on one i

Depending on what you want it for, I've had good experiences with django-authopenid ( bitbucket.org/benoitc/django-authopenid ). It doesn't have the facebook or twitter, but it does work well with most openid providers (google, yahoo, etc).

Thanks for pointing that out. It's not a long article; I'm surprised that I missed that part.

From what I can see, the idea makes sense. They already have levels of protection that can be applied to pages when they feel it's necessary, and this seems to be an extension of that. The only big difference is that it still allows contr
