I have a friend who's been fighting through installing it from source because he's sick of waiting (apparently cabal was having trouble... not really sure). Hope macports gets things sorted out soon.

In my opinion comedy only works in situations like these if you're also a bit silly/comic in other situations. Otherwise it's obvious that you're just using it to try to diffuse the confrontation and it doesn't work.

I agree that this should be discussed. One problem though is that it's not a problem in a normal web browser with a mouse, because it's really easy with a script or just a couple mouse clicks. It's just a problem with mobile browsers like t

times only across the mysql_stmt_execute() call I hope this means timing many, many calls and then timing the loop overhead, subtracting, and dividing by the number of calls made. Clocks just aren't good enough to time individual calls.

I'd also recommend University Campuses for this kind of thing. As well as the campus library, many buildings have private study rooms

Mine is working with the same setup, are you sure you don't have any script blocking activated?

I'd be curious to hear how many people/cycles you get to help with this.

Thanks for the Island of Stability link, I had never heard that term before.

Agreed, I don't know what it is either. Also, I'd try shrinking your logo/header so that some actual content shows up in the first screen of content.

If all you're looking for is screen capture: Apple-Shift-3 captures the entire screen. Apple-Shift-4 lets you select an area to capture. Apple-Shift-4 then Space captures a window that you select. I don't personally use GrabUp or Skitch, so

I believe the adium team is hard at work on IRC for either the 1.4 or 1.5 release. Not helpful right now, but just a heads up.

Don't forget what it took to actually build this community. It's not exactly a fair comparison.

We made sure to notify David, in order to show that we were supporters of open source It was at this point that I started to wonder if maybe you sent updates/questions to the TechStars guys a little too often (I assume that's who David is

Didn't see this mentioned already, but I really don't like the auto-changing text on the home page. I was in the middle of reading a section when it disappeared and I couldn't figure out how to get it back except to just wait, which I did n

One should never apologize for alliteration. It is a joy to stumble upon.

The design looks really nice. I already use drop box with friends to accomplish pretty much the same thing, and it wasn't immediately apparent what the added value would be to using Divvyshot. Also, the first time I went to the upload page

I'd like to put a plug in for doing gravestone rubbings. If you've never tried it, grab a box of crayons and some paper and maybe a date and head over to your nearest cemetery. I've only done it once or twice but I've found some really cool

Did anyone else think this was going to be about playing games in class? I certainly played all the classic calculator games in high school. Interesting ideas though. I've been meaning to pick up a Clayton Christensen book.

I lived in Buenos Aires for four months at the beginning of the year and developed the exact same strategies. And the same thing often happened to me at the subway stations. I often resorted to buying some cheap piece of candy at a corner s

I'm currently living in Buenos Aires as well and completely agree that city has a great vibe, not to mention how far you can stretch the dollar. Although I don't have experience working here (I'm here learning Spanish), I can say that trave

I think this is a good example of deliberate design of the right details. Another interesting take could be to add an optional "If|Unless..." clause to the Attending and Not Attending buttons, for people to clarify their intentions.
