I did some quick overlays, and I applaud them for apparently paying attention to color blind users in their interface design. The colorful icons and sidebars all seem to provide contrast to the 8% of us dudes who are color blind.

I posted something on this a little bit ago. Seems to correlate with Microsoft's decision to revoke free access to their VXML studio product (and thus Skype purchase) - https://studio.tellme.com/

This is one of the reasons I love my technology work at a non-profit. Sure I make lots less, but they are extremely generous with paid time off. Our institutional culture encourages people taking vacations, and while we have serious tight d

Oh goodie, another part of our economy that ignores the true cost of energy creation. Has anyone looked at models of how this system might work if the miners had to pay significantly more money for electricity?

I know it sounds trivial but the lack of a optical (CD/DVD) drive is my biggest barrier. In my work place, I still get all kinds of files and media on CDs and DVDs.

I think these sorts of efforts are to combat property owners who have a disregard for their community and the people who traverse their space. Neglect and decay require some intervention outside of property right systems at times.
