This doesn't require any external tools, you just have to set up the config files. I think this is about as close to 'built in' support as you are going to get.

I've been using an old mobile as an alarm clock for years. It's UI is much easier than a clock-radio (I was never able to figure those out), you can change the song and volume and it has a builtin battery. It's most well-designed not-alarm-

Does anyone else think this guy is making a mistake going for ad-based income. Looking at his income report, he is already making 50% of his income (and almost all his passive income) from stockphotos and ebooks. Comparing this to his curre

This is purely speculation, but I suspect the £10 could be a limit to prevent wealthy helicopter parents from giving their kids an advantage. Or as another poster pointed out, it may have a pyschological purpose. FWIW, when I did this in s

Indeed, it appears similar to the fake facebook chat popups on porn and spam sites. I would have difficulty believing there was a real person behind it.

Has this ever been tested, and if so why can't this work in other situations? I have been told (though not by any reliable source) that these kinds of disclaimers are not legal even if they are signed by the user.

Sanne has actually only submitted 15 pictures. This is one of them, http://www.onemilliongiraffes.com/?id=54374 There are ~2000 giraffes on one page. Ediktonia has similar images. Personally, I think these works are kind of taking the pi

Are his kids really that loud? Why doesn't sound proof his office and discipline his kids for being too noisy. (I'm sure this would please his neighbours as well).

I'm sure it is possible find to some development job with a patchy resume. But it sounds like you are hiring for a junior position, is that really appropriate for someone with N years experience?

Agreed, I was hoping for more dramatic/unexpected/insightful story than 'we picked an easy to remember number and it turned out to be too much effort to restrict access to the public'.

Especially a static image will be publicly available for years (estimated, I don't know how often street view updates).

I think the blocks need to be sticky, it might actually be playable if the blocks would stop bouncing around.

That's all good advice, but I don't think it gets to the heart of most speakers' problem, which is simply fear. Clutching the podium, speaking too quickly, blanking - these are all side effects of nervousness. I don't think the solution is

Frankfurt? Why is Frankfurt ranked so high? It's not a capital city, and in general Germany is relatively cheap for Europe.

When I worked in Germany, I had to give _3 months_ notice. (It was related to leaving at the end of the quarter, but I don't recall the details). It made for a very uncomfortable atmosphere. I can't imagine what the reasoning was, maybe ju
