Yeah, 60K clicks seems like a lot. It varies by body, but you can usually look up the specs and find what the unit is rated for from Canon and/or when they recommend it to be sent in for service (the 40D BTW is rated for 100K). You'd probably want something with no more than 25% of the rated shutter activations.
Thuderbird has a pretty good calendering extension called Lightning. By default it adds a pane to the normal view with upcoming events: "Today", "Tomorrow", and "Soon" for stuff in the following week. I find that tremendously useful, and close to Marco's idea.
There are multiple 'axis' to this victory business, and this one - the money angle - is only a single way of interpreting all this.

If I could choose between the two of them as human beings I'd pick Wozniak for sure, he's one of the nicest 'well to do' people that ever came out of silicon valley.

Jobs is simply still in a pissing match with Gates, and it looks like he will be able to prove some day that Apples view of the software market was even more closed than Microsofts, and potentially far more profitable.

I bought a Mac for my son a couple of years ago, I'm beginning to regret that decision. At the time it was to open his eyes to the fact that not every computer on the planet runs the same operating system and that diversity is good. Now I'm not so sure that an Apple was the right way to express that (he already had an older linux computer to play with blender on, but it was definitely past its prime).

Money is a very convenient yardstick to measure success by, but it collapses a lot of data in to a single number and it does not tell you the history of how it got there.

Clearly 'open' is never going to make as much money as 'closed', the RIAA and MPAA are all too aware of that, but longer term 'open' will always win because stuff that is special today is a commodity tomorrow.

Remember the times when each and every piece of electronics came with it's own weird set of proprietary protocols and connectors? Now it's all IP and we're better off because of that, except for the lawyers.
The simulator is about 95 - 99.9% accurate depending on the task in hand.

There are some functions, such as push notification, that can't be simulated (at least from my experience).

If you were going to release an app I would absolutely always test it on at least one physical device before submitting to Apple.
But that's still not racism. And never will be.

Racism is believing that some races are inherently superior to others.

The only problem I've had with it was that the simulator does not have access to your iTunes library, so code to run against the MediaPlayer.framework doesn't work. I've not had any cross-compilation issues.

My Mac has a beefier CPU than my iPhone, so you still have to test on the device to check performance. Same story with memory usage. You can simulate a memory warnings from the simulator UI for testing, but you want to make sure that on the device you are not hitting up against real limits to start with. In theory, the simulator doesn't have an email client in the background, so there is always going to be more free space than on the device itself, but in practice I've not had any problems - I don't want to be filling up memory anyway.

I have the feeling this is an old question, but I can't find a specific answer. Is it possible to host a Google App only with your custom domain while disabling the appspot.com URL? I could understand this being a restriction on free accounts, but does it also apply to paying customers?

Thanks

PS: If not possible, is there a way to redirect your appspot.com URL to your custom URL?
Well, Windows is King, and so it can get away with stuff like that. However, Linux being the Maverick, it can't afford to pull shit like that anymore.
"It really isn't my business, but why would you care about a $99/yr fee if you are going to be purchasing a new MBP and an iPhone or iPad?

I just don't see why you'd wait for a $99 fee to be dropped before spending at least $2000 on hardware."

Fair question.

It doesn't have anything to do with the quantum of money (99$,999$ whatever though having to pay 20% of the price of an IPad annually to develop for it is a bit sleazy in my opinion).

I have money to spend on computers. I just don't want to rent my right to develop and deploy on my device (which I already paid full price for) annually from Apple.

Apple should be glad someone chooses to learn, develop for and participate its ecosystem. It isn't a privilege you should have to pay annually for. ( I am sure Steve Jobs thinks it is a privilege for developers to develop for his babies! One of us is wrong but then he is a billionaire and i am just a poor hacker so who is to say? :-P )

I am not opposed to Apple keeping its OS closed. I am fine with the Apple Store distribution "choke point". It sucks a bit but I can see why Apple want to do it that way. I am not even opposed to a small one time payment for the devtools if I feel they are better than emacs + gcc (though I would be happy to avoid it. Asking individual developers to pay for dev tools is a bit weird in this day and age). But once I pay, I should be able to use them forever and not have to renew my right to develop annually.

I don't want to let Apple decide what or when or how long I can and can't code and deploy on my device (as distinct from selling it to others through the Apple Store). If I buy an IPad, want to build and deploy my app on my IPad without Apple getting in the middle. As it stands, you can't deploy an app onto your device without paying Apple an annual fee.

I think the existing structure is good for people who buy a dev license just so they can build and sell apps via the App Store. If I want to code up some small app for personal use (and as a developer I do this all the time), I wouldn't like to have to pay an annual fee for that.

I think Alex Payne expressed this better than I can in his latest blog post on the IPad. As a developer I find Apple's idea that developers have to pay annually to write software for their own devices to be very arrogant and condescending. Even Microsoft in its heyday wasn't that bad.

To be clear, I don't have a problem with anyone choosing to pay an annual dev fee or developing for Apple or whatever. Just answering your question as to why I won't pay.
Just out of curiosity, what tools (text editor, shell, IDE, etc.) do you use when working on GAE?
Ideally, if you do not publicize the App ID / appspot domain, it is not likely to be known & requested.

Anyway, the simplest way to do this will be to redirect requests received on the appspot domain to your custom domain, from within your code.
The Concorde was not a scam, sometimes the state has to subsidize some technology so it could become available.

And being french, I'm very proud of the Concorde.

My experience has been that there really isn't a strong correlation between what degree you hold and your ability as a developer. But I've only worked with about 20, so my sample set is significantly smaller than yours.

The best was an incomplete theory-heavy B.A. in CS from UofIowa, with a close runner-up being an EE from a university in India with a name I've since forgotten. I'm guessing it was their best engineering school because this guy was wicked smart and left to do grad work at CMU, and now works for (I think) Google in London.

Worst: Degree-milled Ph.D in Astrophysics. Runner-up: CS degree from UIUC (circa 1993).

BTW, don't be terribly surprised by CS majors not leading the pack in software development. Even with a coding-heavy curriculum, you're looking at a student who has to write maybe 100,000 LOC over a 4 year duration, in an environment where expectations are exceedingly low for SD skills. In academia, there really aren't any coding role-models to set them straight on proper techniques, design patterns, style, SCM, debugging, documentation, etc -- that is, unless, they read, filter, practice/experiment, and internalize some of the gems that float around on proggit/HN/etc.

What a sucky display of moderation here, -4, really ? So what if you disagree with the guy, he's backing away from linux for a fairly good reason.

I'm writing this on an ubuntu box in a microsoft free house, in case anybody suspects me of astroturfing for ms.

It should be possible to criticize linux and / or state that you are 'leaving the fold' without getting modded in to the ground.

Open source and linux are great imo, but there is still lots that could be done a whole lot better, and maintainer 'king of the realm' attitude is a fairly large problem.

It's all too often true that if your 'itch' isn't the exact same as the maintainers that it will not get scratched.
No semblance to me neither.

I know one guy who behaves like that. I found this out one day my wife was mad at me and I needed to talk to someone but he just pretended not to hear. I felt insulted until a mutual friend explained to me he always does this. Since then I have thought of him as an emotional cripple. This article actually makes me more tolerant. There are apparently many more guys like that out there, so many that it seems like another way of being normal.

I don't know how much of this is cultural. This friend obviously comes from the same culture as me. I'm swiss, so I would expect to have less in common with an indian than with someone from the wall street journal.

I think "why" is largely rooted in the fact that women have babies (well, around 90% of them do, and some that don't adopt) and once you have a baby you need social support in a way a man does not. You either need a spouse making the lion's share of the money or you need family to turn to if there is no man around. Even in a worst case (or perhaps best case) scenario, you need daycare providers if nothing else. This reality seems to influence female behavior even before most women have children and definitely influences it afterwards, even if the woman was relatively independent and can-do prior to that. Social influence is primarily about catering to people's egos and emotions. So I think the fact that women need other people to help raise their kids tends to make them more attuned to the emotional stuff and make it loom larger in their eyes than it typically does for men.

Uh no. The BASES site is just down. It has nothing to do with HN.
I suspect that if he had left out the "yay Open source" bit and just said, "This is why I am slowly backing off blah" he wouldn't get as many downvotes, though it would still be a vacuous statement.

Sure it is a matter of tone, but downvoting for tone does happen and I am not sure it is a bad thing. As it is he sounds like (NB: not saying he is, just sounds like) some immature fellow passing by from reddit knocking Open Source/Linux without adding any value to the discussion. I would expect a comment like "Yay Apple! Yay Steve Jobs! This is why I don't use OSX" to be downvoted too.

And even without the "yay" bit, his comment doesn't add much and has close to zero information content. It is equivalent to someone saying "this" or "upvoted" or "+ 1" or "me too" to something someone else said.

Such comments do get downvoted on HN. I don't have an opinion either way though I wouldn't care if it got downvoted to -4 or stays at +1. Anything above that would be scary!

You don't get isotopes by adding or removing electrons. You'd need to alter the number of neutrons for isotopes. And that doesn't normally change the color.

If you would add or remove electrons from your gold particles, you'd need to keep the electrons somewhere close-by e.g. keep them with your anions. If you separate a lot of atoms from their electrons--you get a blob charged matter. To get all the atoms in 1 mol of gold (around 200g, say in a small cube) to each lose one electron and put the mol of electrons somewhere else, you'd need some non-trivial amount of energy.

Couple things I noticed when using the simulator:

1) you have almost unlimited memory - if you're not clever with your memory management (eg. UITableView cells) things will look great in the simulator but will crash/run slow on the device

2) some things can't be simulated (push notifications, in app purchase)

3) certain libraries have different binaries for the simulator vs. the device. bugs in one or the other can cause things to work differently

If you submit your app to apple having tested only on the simulator, chances are they will run into a crash/bug when reviewing it causing your app to be rejected. Having said that, it's a great tool for debugging.

We agree on that :)

I tend to look at the factual content of a contribution and less at the tone. It's like the RMS/Miguel de Icaza thing but in miniature, if you 'leave' open source after having used it you're almost worse than if you were a windows user all your life long, and I think the moderation in part demonstrates that. If it's just about the tone that's different, but since 'tone' is hard to gage it's a bad reason to moderate for, unless it is crystal clear that the words are offensive or rude. In this case 'linux' and 'open source' are not people, so they can't be insulted and 'yay open source, yay linux' can be interpreted as showing that not everything is good and great about linux and open source, which is undeniably true.

It's significant in this case because in closed source there is usually a solid ($) reason to keep your customers satisfied, in open source much less so because plenty of the people there do it on a volunteer basis, so you have to be 'happy you got it in the first place'.
No. The Apple Stores do not sell them at full price. You must buy one from the carriers. Great isn't it?

The people I know buy their phones from people who come from the US. Most I know people use online forums and meet in person for the payment. Online payments really do not work here in the Philippines (not mainstream).

Also, shipping is expensive here because the Philippines is an archipelago :(
This. I think the iPhone was a complete boon to the US mobile market, which was suffering and locked down. In America, the iPhone is one of the most open handsets out there. However, everywhere else, where carriers have less of an ability to be quite as locked-down and evil, they're one of the least open.

Well even with that filter there isn't much "content" to that comment besides "me too". :-)

" 'yay open source, yay linux' can be interpreted as showing that not everything is good and great about linux and open source, which is undeniably true."

Well isn't this true about everything in the world? Not everything is good and great about $X. I (vehemently!) agree, but by itself, that isn't a very useful thing to say. Coupled with the "script kiddie" tone, it is hard to fault downvoters (imo)!
Just like with open source, you have some great companies in the closed source world and not so great ones (and outright lousy ones).

The 'after sales support' factor in closed source is a huge one and it is a good indicator of long term success of a company.
There was a British TV series that I watched some of a while back about a group of con artists (sorry, I can not remember the name right now).
