Everything we create and think of is based on experiences (sight, smell, feelings....). Therefore it's very strange to have patents. A patent is just a smart mix of things that already exist. Software is always mixing existing things using

So you would also like to skip the H1-H6 elements? This is not about presentation, it's about context.

Link is quoting from this article: http://www.wort.lu/wort/web/en/luxembourg/articles/2011/05/1... Some people like to start a restaurant -> file the name 'AppleADay' -> name is approved -> they start the restaurant -> App

True, but there is another thing. With big deals you normally define support very clear in the contract. With smaller deals companies don't feel the urge to do this. But it's very simple to say: "This product is cheap because it lacks quick

The only way to fight these big organizations is to start at the bottom. Take a look at Libya for example. People at the top most of the time have the resources to hide and still run the company. But when there is nobody left that would lik

Amazing to see that it is very random. Long tail, being big, they don't seem related at all.

Maybe someone could explain the downvotes? This is a serious question. There have been stories about for instance heart transplantations where the new owner experiences dreams and desires of the first owner although the persons never met. T

Could this explain the dreams and desires of the formal owner after a transplant?

Don't they already use true noise made by your computer hardware (analog)? For example fine measurements of fan speed, fluctuations in input power, and so on.

True, but this is all about the 'wings'. An one propeller heli will not fly, it will only spin around. But this thing uses flaps (or wings as you like). That's why this is not just a heli inside a ball.

Lately a lot of people think they can earn a lot of money without working hard. I'm not sure why people think this way. Maybe TV told them you can get whatever you want whenever you want.

Ehm, the article describes what you are talking about. So in fact you agree with the article ;)

Maybe this should and will not scale well. Most of the time the work of an artist does not scale well.

Reminds me of the saying "you don't own possessions they own you" . This is only true if you let them own you and worry about them. When my TV breaks down I might get another one. But there are loads of people who buy another TV because th

But there is a huge difference in admiring someone and worshiping someone. Some seem to worship Jobs.

by tintin 15y ago
(I think you got downvotes for your tone of voice, not the content) Watching all this stuff about Jobs also makes asking questions like yours. Did Jobs change the world? Did he help the poor and the sick? Which achievements do matter in lif

People hate changes. I think Canonical underestimates this. (I switched to Xubuntu so in my mind things didn't change very much. Only that Xubuntu is way faster and is using less resources than Ubuntu.)

I'm not sure if I understand this concept correctly. Can you say that if they take 4 pixel blocks the depth of field interpolates over 4 pixels? So each screen-pixels has 4*4 corresponding sensor-pixels?

I hate phones in general. Thats why I don't use a mobile (smart)phone. But I develop for them and follow the latest news about them. Maybe sound silly but I think mobile phones are the invention of this age that make people less social whil

I disagree with PG. Ofcourse you can create wealth by fixing an old car. But you will need two things: investment (an old car) and resources (time for instance). When you are working +100 hours a week (commuting included) just to make ends

Make sure you add this in CSS via :before and :after. When it's in the DOM it also gets indexed. A button labeled "go" can suddenly be index as "ago".

"Because it's our job." Well probably not. I don't spend hours on fixing my own car. I leave that job to the ones who know about cars. Install a new server: ask someone who knows, give him your specs and he will set up the rig. That's the

There have been a lot of interviews with people who committed suicide (and failed). Most of them said they did not plan it and it was a last minute decision. That sounds not very rational to me.

Sometimes our company is developing sites for internal systems. We have to support IE6 only, cannot use any plugins and even cannot use Javascript (it's blocked). We call this a challenge, not a sad thing...

It's all about volume. Some money made on Spotify, some by selling CDs, some by concerts, some by merchandise. And there is ofcourse exposure.

I think it's absolutely fine to tell them you develop using the latest standards and you charge more when you have to develop for expired or non standards.
