Same for me with Cater Allen.

Agreed. I wont vote a story up because of this. Same as tweets with "Please RT". stfu, I will RT if I think it's worth spreading, not because you tell me to

I think the keyword here is "fun". You're "bored to death". You don't want a programming career that will too bore you to death.

If you don't enjoy web development, do something else. The tablet could be one way to go, but there are many many others, I don't want to give any specific advise, as different people are attracted to different things.

Find something you really enjoy (which in itself could take a long time - if you're not sure now, you could dive into one field for a while, see if it's for you. If not, move on).

It might sound odd (and people might disagree) but I say don't focus on what's business wise. Focus on finding something you love doing.

Best of luck!

Then I'd rather that target=_blank was a config option. I personally prefer if I can decide if I want the link to open in the same or a new window, which I can do now.

Isn't the core problem here "he sat on it and didn't release"? Money-making idea or not, if you don't release it doesn't matter whether you've told people about your idea or not.

I completely agree with your last statement, "if you sit on your ideas at all, someone will do them instead." - But, I think that's true even if you haven't told people about your idea. Someone else will have the same idea, sooner or later.

Well done!

Shout next time you're in London and I'll buy you a beer! :)

This "press release" is also quite confused; "Amazon, which was until recently WikiLeaks' DNS provider"

HTTP/1.0 doesn't specify Host as a request parameter, iirc, so you might as well block on "HTTP/1.0".

Yes, are worse countries, but the U.S claim to be pro free speech, land of the free and all that. The reactions from cablegate speak a very different language.

The irony that this announcement happens right now is beyond belief!

EDIT: Fix some stupid typos

Oh come on...

There were some other tweets, but as the parent link says they were all deleted. Anna Ardins blog was always taken offline for a few days after they first pressed charges.

I didn't save backups myself I'm afraid, but this forum thread probably have them saved -- https://www.flashback.org/t1275257 -- I'm afraid it's a very long thread, in Swedish..

uhm.. at least one of them was bragging on twitter after she'd bagged Assange.

It was only a few days later they both decided that they'd been raped. Go figure..

Considering what's been happening last few days; Is anyone at all surprised by this?

I am however intrigued to see where all this will lead..

I'm a bit confused by this, I don't see any hyphens (Chrome on Linux). Anyone know what's going on here?

Yea ok, it's your company, you decide. (But don't give me the 'would have been shut down', I really doubt Lieberman would have shut down Amazon).

But then we, as consumers, shall decide not to do more business with your company.

Quite timely this happening now -- I would have bought a lot of Christmas presents on Amazon. Now I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

Yes, don't buy your Christmas presents from Amazon!

Quit. And let them know why you quit. Take a stand!

There was quite a pornographic picture top of the page when I visited, a couple of minutes ago (there's a new top picture now).

You probably need some sort of warning for that..

Haven't been able to test it yet, but this looks quite interesting!

The toolbar is prefixed "http:// -- is there support for https? If not, is that on the roadmap?

cool thanks

I wonder what kind of numbers Perl would get?

I don't get false positives, but the top right man isn't identified. Running Chrome 7.0.517.44 on Linux

I think this was outlined in the first Freakonomics book.

I am constantly fascinated that most recruiters are doing such poor jobs -- examples include bad matching (oh you got java on your CV, do you want this web designer job, it mentions javascript) -- as this is a role that can be eliminated, I would think they would really try to add value, to avoid being replaced by a website.

Would be funnier if it wasn't so true in a lot of areas (mobile phone operators spring to mind. I don't know how it is in other parts of the world, but in the places I've lived in Europe, most operators have different pricing depending on time of day, day of week and the operator of the person you're calling(!))

Hey

Sorry but I don't understand this answer. I too like to hear reasons for decisions to stay away from non-relational databases.

Your first point, that you'll be using JSON, feels strange. When I build stuff, the data storage and the usage of the data are very separate areas. The web part using the JSON doesn't know or give a damn if the data is stored in MySQL or MongoDB or written in sand and translated to computer-speak by monkeys.

Second - Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but isn't this tree structure a number of entities that have relationships with other entities (as parent / child / sibling / whatever). How is that not applicable to a relational database?

Well, yes, but this is still quite interesting (imho).

In the old days, the competitor had an email list. You couldn't know how many or who were subscribed. In a twitter world, it's all out in the open.

"However, after some time doing it professionally, it loses its fun-ness."

I'd claim this applies to any hobby turned into a profession.

Is it possible to wrap a HTML5 site into an application? I mean, to make it appear as an app on the phone, even in the app store, but it's just using the browser to connect to the HTML5 site?
