Huh? You think they were knocked off by big oil companies?

Indeed - in addition to type="text", textarea and button would be nice as well.

Does your link explain how education is a human right or free? It might be a good investment, but that hardly makes it free. When anything that requires significant effort (skills, capital, services, etc) is pronounced as a right to be giv

Part of article 26, section 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory... I sim

They most certainly could be related. If you had a few background apps doing something, such as playing music while browsing the web, that would take more clock cycles. Even something like a native twitter app running in the background co

Seriously asking here: what would you like more about Ruby as opposed to Javascript if they were in the same boat (i.e. if Ruby had client ubiquity, no systems frameworks, no major non-browser platform, etc)?

They will have approximately 48% voting power, according to the SEC filing: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1288776/0001193125100...

Nice site. Have you considered incorporating any interaction with the site, such as a way to rate the cheat sheets or give comments? Also, it (might) be cool if there was the ability to create user/community driven cheat sheets that could

Why is it useless (I've never worked with robots.txt)? Are the /css and /js files not large enough to bother skipping?

I'm confident that an internet version of The Conan O'Brien show will be funnier, edgier, more credible and more innovative. And that will translate into more profits - both for Conan and for Revision3 It seems possible it could be more i

Ah, that seems like a more reasonable analogy.

by walkon 17y ago
While I understand the analogy, it is a bit extreme. The gap between C and assembly quite wide, while the work Sass is doing looks relatively trivial.

Casual fans, such as myself, would very rarely bother to look it up and watch it online, but catching a half hour or so after the news might happen a few times a week.

Instead of searches like this for each university site, they should just direct users to the documentation on their site:<url> command.

The Kindle displays 16 shades of gray. When you read on your iPhone, are you able to read novels for extended, contiguous periods of time (more than an hour)? Just wondering how comfortable that would be on such a small screen for a long p

by walkon 17y ago
If reading is what you want do the most of, I'd go with the Kindle because its display is going to be much easier on your eyes because of the e-ink and size.

The biggest problem with the stimulus bill was actually finding "public good" projects (i.e. ones that don't look like pork) that can spend the money fast enough. The biggest problem with the stimulus bill is that it passed.

There is the part that says "religious people give more to secular causes than secular people do." Then the stat: 71% of religious give to secular causes while 61% of secular people do.

It fails to definitively show that we're not getting what we're paying for because a graph such as this only shows correlation.

by walkon 17y ago
It's not that awesome when you remember that correlation does not necessarily equal causation.

If the federal government was truly concerned about a "concentration of power," then why isn't it concerned with itself? It is the most powerful entity on the planet, exercising coercion and destruction on a massive scale. Taxing people'

I brought him up as an example that there are certainly people out there that don't agree with macro evolution and can reason well beyond that of a "grade schooler." I was not trying to allege that he himself has done any research direct

by walkon 17y ago
These folks laugh when you talk about evolution as reality, and can only reason abstractly at the level of a grade schooler. Since you tossed this subject in, how about folks that disagree with (macro)evolution but have a Ph.D. from MIT a

You should try the Vimperator extension. It trades almost the entire UI/chrome for modal, vim-style, keyboard browsing.

It is just a bit more hyped up than typical open source contributions. Using the "challenge" concept with public polling and "best in class honors" makes it sound more like a contest. I think it is fine how they are doing it. I don't exp

The motor assistance feature looks interesting. Aren't bikes supposed to be light? I would guess that the benefit of having a motor and batteries that can provide worthwhile assistance would be counteracted by the fact that there's that m
