From my experience, Chrome installs default to en-US without trying to pick up language settings from your computer. (I'm probably doing it wrong) Not an excuse, but it sounds like they don't trust accept-language to be correct.

Saying the program was scrapped is a bit off. It makes it sound like nothing has come out of the project at all. Choose and Book is widely in use, the Spine exists, as well as the N3 network. Data format and transfer standards are coming in

My problem with encouraging people to break the law is that they can delude themselves into believing that there will be no consequences to them personally. No matter how right you are to break the law, you will still have to face the conse

Re showing when things don't work. That's the best part of the egghead videos; showing things broken. I forget sometimes how much you learn from doing it wrong before doing it right.

mental illness is an illness where something has gone wrong with the body in the same way that cancer is an illness where something has gone wrong with the body. Stigmatizing it in any way is not useful. Telling people to "just be happy!" i

It's a lovely experience (I wouldn't use the word game). We had a wander over the weekend, it was surprisingly good as a joint adventure and I'd definitely recommend going through it with at least one like-minded person.

One thing I've learned from having to do rapid prototype development is to just put fingers to keyboard and go. If I find myself getting stuck in the cycle of "this can be written better, I'll just spend 2 hours improving it rather than fin

Amen. After having been abused by employers who didn't understand why an employee wouldn't want to work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, for months on end (I'm not exagerating here) I have a slight skepticism of people looking to abolish a fi

Aye From what I've heard reported[1] about periods of extreme caloric restriction is that it takes the body around 4 days or so to start dealing with the lack of carbohydrates. Until that point the person feels tired, grumpy, headachy, out

There was a similar story in a This American Life episode about the PSA test for prostate cancer. There's a short interview in Act One with a doctor who was sued for malpractice for allowing a patient to choose to not have the test. http:/

I've got a boss, when he's talking something up, every other word out of his mouth is "fuck". It's not abusive, but it isn't useful. Extolling the virtues of a product by saying "it's fucking awesome" doesn't tell me anything about that pro

your local pool has sessions? Here you pay your money (or you have a monthly pass to the entire sports complex), you go swimming. Outside of swim practice, no one has ever mentioned times. Certainly no arm bands. Perhaps we're lucky up Nort

It seems to be telling me it's 72F in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne at the moment. I wish :'( Either that or I'm assuming wrongly that because the demo is reading my location and localising the time, it would also be reading the weather.

I didn't mention a "right" tool, I actually made sure to use the term "better", because "right" has those negative connotations. For our purposes, there are "better" tools available than those that were chosen. A pain that we're feeling now

My reply is that you may be able to drive a nail with a brick, but a hammer works much better. Same for programming. The more you are aware of, the better able you are to chose the better way of proceeding on a project. I'm probably scarred

I come from the medical apps field, so I find the idea of possibly not being able to talk about my work frightening. Sex (any reference to the existence of sex, to crib from This American Life), not okay. Religion or politics, okay. Odd.
