Which is what the Nissan Leaf does(pretty nifty idea, I'd say). But its not really a solution in the sense that it wouldn't work for cars parked inside.

The square perspective design just looks out of proportions. Purely on an first impression basis, given a choice to choose between the two, I would choose the one by the MS team. Maybe they tested , and found that people liked the rectangle one better. Again, why is this nit pick important anyway?

I would tend to disagree. I am an avid reader of history, and having read news about world events and then read books about them, I would say that books usually have an agenda. Even if they are unbiased, you are still at the mercy of somebody else to make an opinion for you. While my greatest joy of reading a new thing is how it adds to or reinforces my mental model of an event.

Is it just me that finds this suggestion offensive. Maybe the Indians had already thought about that and since they were already taking g as 10 m/sec^2, they thought that the difference because of sound delay would be insignificant. As would be the variability in speed of sound near the water surface due to moisture.

Can we have a better UI for subtitles? Maybe double clicking on a subtitle file automatically adds it to the current video, just like GOM. I seem to remember behavior like this on the Windows VLC. That seems to be my only peeve with VLC, as a non-native English speaker.

Its just measuring the buzz, not if it's negative or positive. In any case people talking about your ad is a good thing. Even if they say bad things, it increases your brand recall. Reach is a reasonable proxy for comparison, if you assume that ratio of people who won't(or would) see the ad, to followers is pretty much the same across ads.

The author asserts a weak correlation, yet does not explain the reason. Very very flimsy argument, I would say.

From Rhombus Tech preorder page, "Please note: this price excludes a case, power supply, packaging, shipping, tax, customs and import duty." Add that to $15 and Raspberry PI comes back into the comparison, not to mention better chances of having a big ecosystem.

JSF is a bit of exception. I haven't 'really' searched but its harder to do this in say Struts. What rule of thumb for the data size do you use when choosing between client side and server side sorting?

Its a political post so my politically loaded question should be forgiven. Wouldn't it have been acceptable, if United States had liberated North Korea instead of Iraq?

"WikiLeaks is acting as a marketplace for illicit information, literally a clearing house. This model, with its unconscious capitalist/economics language bias, is the key reason to doubt the long-term effectiveness of this strategy."

I didn't get this. Can somebody explain this to me! How and where did Assange say something that led the OP to infer this?

Is it just me or have we had enough of this topic for a year now? Long story short, please stop talking about what people should do. Our 'job' as human beings is to just provide an equal opportunity environment for everyone. Not provide affirmative action.

I dont think he can do that. He cares deeply about his apps, like everyone here does. He can't 'contract' it. I know I can't.

Is it just me or is everyone overtly optimistic.

Not every typo results in a 404 and not something broke doesn't always mean a 404. On the other hand, its not the intersection of these two, also.

..as against internet in China, with which I was comparing India to.

The situation you are talking about is very very different from what the OP is talking about. But yes I agree, a blanket NO CODE rule is extreme.

This is so relevant for India as well. Except in the case of India at this point, the elite are much greater in proportion, but that's because we are behind China in Internet adoption. And also Internet in India is mostly still PC based and not cellphone based.

You can't fix a typo is very directly related to how you run a startup. Not eating a burger 'properly' is not.

"Inherent value." How do you decide that? I mean how do you say that a Jane Austen novel is a more valuable than a Big Mac?

Why the downvotes? Shouldn't the capacity of our wires also be a limiting factor?

An economy with realtime and complete data. Imagine the efficiencies created then.

The truth even if it causes some harm, is always infinitely better than a lie, even if it helps someone. That is my position.

Is my understanding right? Verizon is saying that they will kick people off/restrict their bandwidth, when somebody pushes the 'turbo' button?

I hadn't thought about Google in this sense. The way I remember the net is a big bad mess of ugly websites and then Google came along and they changed search. And they changed Email. They changed advertising. Think of how many more ugly flash ads there would have been without Google. And yes that built affection for the brand. Taking risks is awesome. Shipping crappy products not so much.

I don't get your comment. Web based email. All I have ever used in my life.

Really? Citations?

What is synchronization? http://galileo.phys.virginia.edu/classes/109N/lectures/synch... Your sense of time ia very different from what relativity predicts.

Yes its not your fault, but it's also not Google's fault. Your sense of entitlement is very surprising.

I see lots of comments about income inequality in India. I find them very amusing. Refer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_income_equ.... You would see that India's income inequality is less than Switzerland, France and the Netherlands. The pressing problem in India right now is not income inequality. Its the lack of income, really. At this stage of development all India should worry about is earning wealth. Trying to redistribute that is a 'premature optimization'. :)
