He refers to these as launchers and lists several.

I've always found the continuation of that cliche to be interesting. In full it reads "jack of all trade, master of none, but ofttimes better than the master of one."

Wow, I had no idea about the Win-Arrow window resizing thing. Thanks for mentioning it.

It certainly is not appropriate in every circumstance, but it can make a lot of sense for larger applications where you might have different people or even teams responsible for different parts of the application.

If I were going to do this I would integrate input from user actions as messages using a serialization like Thrift or ProtocolBuffers and likely an AMQP transport. This allows you to hook into the system in a number of places with whatever

I'm having trouble explaining it in words, but I'm thinking of it as more of a funnel you aim at than a discrete beam.

I did a quick search and didn't see anything too relevant. What is the difference between the classic and standard views?

If I was setting out to do it, I'd think about a three part system. First would be the gun on the surface, the second would be a launch vehicle, and the third would be a satellite in orbit to act as a target. The gun fires the launch vehicl

It's interesting, now that I have run it through a couple more times. If I think about somewhere I can walk to/from, it's much easier than having to imagine driving, for example, and if I am less familiar with an area, I tend to think more

Well, in general I make it a point to be as polite as possible in situations like that because it is not in my nature to be very outgoing and talkative. I tend to be shy with people I don't know well. From the perspective of purely my own p

I recall that waking up happened in stages. The first stage was full on dreamworld. The majority of it was nonsense I forgot immediately, but I do have scattered memories of very intricate and bizarre almost Proustian sorts of scenes playin

I had some medical problems when I was growing up that caused me to black out often enough that I became pretty familiar with the sensations of the process. What you are describing sounds similar to what I would call a sense of euphoria I w

The Hubble ultra deep field is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I would've wept with you.

If you view source on the page you'll see that it seems to have had something to do with how the URL was encoded in each submission. http://www.mytwitterbutler.com/I%27m_Being_Sued/ for this one vs. http://www.mytwitterbutler.com/I%27m%5

Yeah I agree that they do now, I am just curious about how it came to be that way.

When I was a real little kid, maybe 8 or 10 or so, my mother took me shopping for a new car and I distinctly recall bursting into tears at the sight of the first one she liked because I thought it looked mean. I've always wanted to hear the

I'm sure you are aware of this, but just in case, there are good reasons why this hasn't taken place and most of them have to do with battery technology. The basic problem is that the current crop of batteries take too long to charge on re

Not that it lessens the blow any, but it's worth mentioning that these figures are across the entire employment spectrum. Some of the commenters mention large hits in management, but it can also represent the freefall in construction and ot

I think that what you've described is essentially the basis for the Australian "teleportation" idea. They distinguish it from quantum entanglement approaches which could theoretically (or not, depends on who you ask) transmit the informatio

This reminds me of something that I think I first read about in Michio Kaku's book Physics of the Impossible where a Bose-Einstein condensate was used as a medium for "teleportation". I believe in his book he referred to the experiment refe

Thanks for pointing that out, it's definitely interesting and I have the bad habit of tending to skip videos. What I meant by having to do it piecemeal was the scanning though, not the printing. I suppose in a world where you could simply d

It definitely seems like your notion is being borne out. Personally, I think it's indicative of a larger cultural problem in the US, so I don't have particular optimism that it will be corrected in time at Boeing, but I certainly hope that

It seems like it is a bit of a leap from this to anything with an internal mechanism, which you'd have to disassemble and scan piecemeal, as far as I can tell. That said, one step closer to the matter replicator, which is great news to me.

It seems a little misleading to compare myspace's overall uniques with the email-specific unique counts of the other providers. It implies a 1:1 ratio between uniques and people who are going to go through the relative (I'm sure they've mad

Apparently this is largely the result of new management. After Alan Mulaly left for Ford, their culture shifted dramatically from the engineering/conservative mindset to a bottom-line-driven outsourcing model.

If I am not mistaken, paintball guns are essentially pneumatic smooth-bore muskets. Definitely not "sniper" quality.

I think there's probably a decent chunk of government or quasi-government jobs (post office, amtrak) that are pretty reliable, but this recession has certainly shaken things to their core. Who knows these days?

This is something I recently ran into in another thread, and I didn't get into it there because it seemed too meta and unproductive, but this seems like a good opportunity. When we talk about history we are not talking about a binary system
