"Mr Cobden also suggested that the companies should ask the file-sharing program BitTorrent to do more to crack down on piracy." I think people may not quite understand how this works (again).

That this audience and 37Signal's audience scroll doesn't mean that Paddy's point is correct. The rule of thumb is really about making sure you look after "regular" users. I'd love to see the "below the fold" rule disproved, however the fac

Actually my wife made me sit through the thing which is why I know. Earlier in the show he talked to her after identifying her as his daughter.

That's his daughter, you horribly inappropriate person.

I'm no lawyer but are the signs some kind of legal disclaimer, at least the refusing the right to service?

Actually that's a good point. JS+Canvas will get there at some point soon. Especially with HMTL5 web workers. Check out an example of a WebGL Game (not HMTL5). http://nitobi.com/yohei/cube_defense_alpha/ This only works in the latest WebK

Having done this for my L1 visa, and jettisoned the USB key I forgot was on my key ring, I'm still puzzled by the author. All the documentation is very upfront about this procedure. I think it should be obvious to anyone vaguely technical t

There is a nearby private storage facility they point you to. It's expensive. Good business for who-ever owns it.

HTML5 already works on mobile Safari, Apple use it, Youtube use it, Vimeo use it. Porn will start to use it too. Adobe can call shit on Apple for games and applications (bleh! Flash apps) but not so much for video. HTML5 video is obviously

Moving your neck around constantly. I've had recommended by multiple ergonomics specialist and a chiropractor to only use as much display as I can see without having to move my head to see it. It's not that moving your neck is bad, it's tha

I'm always curious why people think having multiple displays is so super awesome. 1) It ruins your neck. The ergo people at Yahoo really dislike giving people dual monitors let alone 6. 2) You can only look at so many of these screens at on

It would be nice for someone to provide a script which did this on rota (or a single date) for all countries with i18n for each of those countries outlining their own censorship laws, including UK, France, etc.

He also refers at the beginning of the article to his Kindle hacking. He's clearly into that.

Funny, this was made during an internal y! hack day months ago. It's weird to see it surface now.

Would it have made a difference if the Chinese had subpoenaed anyone else, such as a Chinese company? I assuming by your nick, I was going to get lampooned whatever. The way I see it is simple, if China is that bad then put them under a tra

As someone who works at Yahoo I'm going to say I have no guilt over China. If you think China commits human rights violations stop doing business with them yourself. That means not buying anything made in China, including anything made by A

I'm going to miss Rasmus at Yahoo!. I've spent a fair amount of time with him on the road giving lectures to college students and at conferences. This is one of the reasons he's such a great leader. He's got a sense of humour, but he still

Well that's ok because I have 5 years worth of hair, half-way down my back to get rid off. It's just about how much the remaining hair gets buzzcut afterwards.

There is always some guy, I've never heard of, being an asshole on any given topic on the Internet. I'm sorry that he's picking on John/jQuery but it's really not that surprising. I think John is being pretty pragmatic though just to exorci

This is a good summary of the delta. However, the article author didn't really explain why strict mode is interesting. One of the core requirements of ECMAScript 3.1 (now 5) was to make the language more secure. For example, in strict mode

It's been in and out of print on and off for years, I buy a few copies whenever it's back at the regular price. I've given away 6 copies now to various people.

If you haven't read Peopleware you really should. It's one of the best books on managing people working in IT around, still. If you like Spolsky, DeMarco and Lister were talking about this stuff years ago.
