The story goes that they only get 70% of the retail price for gift tokens.

Are there any (English language) search engines that aren't based in the USA / other Five Eyes state / other state that co-operates with the USA on Internet surveillance?

So there's no problem with writing everything in shell script?

It is not security in its own right, but it can add to other security measures. Think camouflage.

There's nothing to indicate the "contact us" link will open up my e-mail client. I'd expect a mailto link to have the e-mail address as the link text. The link as presented I expected to lead to a page with your e-mail address, phone number, a contact form, and/or your postal address.

(Taking it as given that you will block spam somehow.) How will you ensure people put their content on the right pages? How will you ensure people look at the right pages for the content they wish to find? How will you order the content on each page — won't this just lead to a new specialisation of SEO?

How is this supposed to lead to the end of SEO?

a. Try making it so I only have to tap the text and don't have to position my finger directly over the dot.

b. You seem to have reinvented Yahoo?

I tried. It does a very pretty animation as if there are further branches, but it ends up showing the same tree structure (3 sub nodes) that it started with.

That appears unlikely, what with the site not seeming to do anything.

That's just bizarre.

If you pay the players that much less, then they'll play for clubs in other leagues without pay caps. This will lead to less revenue to clubs (less money from TV rights deals, less merchandising, etc).

If you brought this in across Europe, you'd have fewer professional players, either because they went into a different sport, or a different profession altogether.

But the article blithely assumes club revenues wouldn't be affected.

What you call "trust" I call "trust in the company"; what you call "reliability" I call "trust in the product".

What do you mean by "secure"? What's your threat model?

e.g. I don't see how your idea would protect against XSS, or against a heartbleed type bug. What are you trying to protect against?

I'd suggest hosting it in a jurisdiction those business owners are not familiar with.

From May 1996, so hopelessly out of date wrt specific technologies, but of course the principles are sound.

ADSL and cable connections are low latency, yes?

Wifi adds latency (and packet loss) - how much?

3G et al have high latency, but I'm not sure how much.

Anyone better informed want to share some numbers?

Bug report: The on-screen controls don't appear if I start in portrait and then follow the instructions to go landscape (iOS Safari).

Looks good otherwise.

In some places, it is already April 1st.

Are royals obliged to get married by the Church of England (who are legally barred from performing gay marriages, thus precluding the scenario in your question)?

If FaceTime is available on Android, why does your next tablet need to be an iPad? You know you'll still get the same video quality using a cheaper Android tablet, after all.

I don't understand how making Apple software and services available on non-Apple hardware would drive sales of Apple hardware. Could you elaborate?

(iTunes was available on Windows but to drive iPod sales, not Mac sales.)

Not proven. Overhyped. http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/2011/05/...

There are trade-offs.

Can you use extra memory, or do you require an in-place sort?

Does your data even fit in ram, or will you be continually reading from and writing to disk? (Alternatively: does your data fit in L1 cache, or will you be continually reading from and writing to slower parts of memory?)

Do you need a stable sort? It'll be slower.

Do you want the sort that's faster on average? Or the one that has the fastest worst case?

Wouldn't it be spooky if there were no coincidences?

I haven't seen it in action yet.

Article conflates privacy with network neutrality. I fail to see how they are the same thing.

Or if you thought for a minute before rushing to write code, you would reflect that any temperature that is a prime number in both Celsius and Fahrenheit must be an integer in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, and therefore must be a multiple of 5 in Celsius.

Unless you count -5 as prime (and you don't, or you would have noted that -5C = 23F is prime on both sides), there is only one prime number that is a multiple of 5...

You also have to supply alternatives to && || and not; that still leaves functions (e.g. filter) and constructors with Boolean parameters. Whether you're fighting the language or the standard library is a moot point: you're fighting it instead of working with it.

Why do the carriers get anything?
