Our level of income is roughly 1/3 of that in the U.S, but Apple stuff costs roughly 50% more. That's why I buy all my Apple stuff on ebay.
If our culture encouraged dancing more, neither autism nor ADD would be big problems.

While the hacking must be interesting and rewarding in it's own right, does it have any practical advantage over running one of the existing Android phones? i.e., is there something uniquely good about the iPhone hardware combination?
I'll be honest and say I had no idea people still play real tennis.
I guess I use it differently, because for my uses, Facebook and Twitter are almost equal contenders currently. Nobody in my social group ever uses Facebook invites, so the main thing is the status updates and replies. Facebook has somewhat of an advantage over Twitter on that still due to: 1. more generous length limits; and 2. a series of replies to a status going into a thread instead of the main flat status-update namespace; and 3. "likes" are a useful way of acknowledging a status without actually replying. Twitter's main advantage is that it feels less spammy and has nice 3rd-party clients; I'm always playing whack-a-mole with hiding Zynga games and Quizzes from my FB feed.
I had similar problems with Google and Android here in Poland. I wanted to order Dev Phone 1, fortunately Poland was one of the countries that could do that, but I was shocked when I saw shipping costs: $ 235.65 total for 399$ phone. And of course we can't buy anything on Android Market. Fortunately there are other markets available with support for more countries.

Same problem with games. I bought Street Fighter IV to play online, but Windows Live doesn't support Poland. I coudn't believe it! Why are they selling me not working product? I had to make british Live! account in order to play online.

Indeed, that technique was part of my arsenal that beat every single challenge. I played the hell out of that game for about 2 weeks
In college I used to work summers as a technician at a large non-Disney amusement park, and I had a blast. Like many of the workers quoted in the article said, it truly was something new every day.
Even though I mostly dealt with audio and lighting for the park/theaters, I would often find myself with random odd-jobs. I distinctly remember when a feral cat had kittens inside of a wall of one of our theaters. That resulted in an "elaborate" operation to safely remove the kittens armed with a device we fashioned from half an empty coke bottle, a stick, and copious amount of gaffers tape.
I have no shortage of good stories from that summer job...

Just to mess this up further, there are some recent studies into ego depletion (basically willpower failures) which indicate that low blood sugar can make self-control more difficult, as the brain's executive function doesn't work that well when it has less chemical energy.

The obvious corollary would be that dieting that allows blood sugar to drop too low is going to make it harder to avoid binge eating lapses. Would it work the other way too, so that successful exercise of self-control while fasting adapts the brain to maintain good executive function even when low on glucose?
Could we fire off a bomb to rattle the ground where the hole is? Depending on the ground texture this might seal it.

I think the REAL Starcraft 2 startup challenge would be launching a website that provides a service to the Starcraft2 or esports community.

I wonder if there will be someway to hack custom sc2maps to send gamestate information to a web server instead of staying sandboxed in. Providing users with high score information for a competitive custom game or updating their performance in some sort of MMO.

One lowtech solution could be to have bots auto-host official games, send the replay file to the server when the game is complete, parse the replay file and extract player performance, and update the database. Methods that don't involve a bot as a dummy-player wold be ideal, I haven't thought of one yet though.
Hah! I am glad you pointed out Argentina as an 'example' of 'a successful example'. I will definitely cover this in my blog post.

This recent crisis has shown that Argentina never did recover from that initial default and has had to default a second time. Talk about going back to the well!
That's why sometimes spending too much time just talking to the customer, outlining and drafting some spec just isn't worth it. Get on the hourly as soon as possible and then take as long as the customer feels it's necessary to have the perfect spec.

Spending some time getting new projects is part of the cost of doing business but producing useful artifacts (be it code, designs or a specification) for free isn't good unless you have a really good relationship with the customer.

The "going back to the well" I think might actually be part of it: a lot of Greeks consider that a perfectly viable option, because they remember a past of periodic defaults / currency devaluations every 10 to 20 years or so (and remember Italy doing the same), and don't remember it being particularly bad. Probably a significant proportion would rather go back to that, even if it meant pulling out of the Eurozone, than enact neoliberal reform.

Girl geek appeal: Women's movement online
Well...the thing is, back in the day it probably was bad - but not as bad as it would be today. Today, everything is so interconnected. Society has progressed so much, and wealth has been generated at such a fast clip, that cutting off your nose would do nothing but spiting your face.

The reality is that when you look at what has been powering Greece's astounding growth from 1996 - 2006, it was mainly tourism + foreign direct investment.

If you do an Argentina-type default, tourism will instantly be hit and FDI will go to nearly zero (or very close) VERY quickly. The unfortunate truth is that pulling out of the Eurozone wouldn't be a cure all. Without the discipline being forced on the politicians by the EU + IMF, what will force them to change and be fiscally prudent? Nothing will. If anything, things would only get worse because they would be able to print their own money again.

You know what happens when a profligate government can print their own money? Ask Zimbabwe.

How to Jailbreak iPad with Spirit on Mac
iPad "jailbreaking" has been a hot topic since Apple released its tablet this 2010. While the amazing device does indeed have applications for "just about everything," Apple's sometimes arbitrary or self-serving rejections of apps such as Google Voice has turned more people on to the idea of freeing themselves from dependence on Apple for these resources.
Notte dei Musei 2010, anche a Pompei si entra gratis
fortunately € will soon be on par with $
he he, this is how my dislike for all things apple began ;)

I had to write to their support in order to get an iTunes account for my iPod Touch. I got it working in the end, after several emails, but it left a bitter taste in my mouth. When the controversies around iPhone app store approvals and developer accounts started, I swore to my self I would get rid of all Apple products, and I did.

Frankly, a company that displays such arrogance doesn't get to get me as a customer. Their software is limited, hardware overpriced, policies ridiculous, and in my opinion, only thing they got going for them is the design.

Computers are devices, not fragrances, they should be feature-full and powerful, not beautiful in a chick magazine sort of way.

''Le Lune di Pompei'' - Tutti i week end fino a ottobre
I'm pretty sure people just don't know what to do about it. Those tons of aresoles that people released in the past decades are now in the ozone layer, and they act as catalysts for the decomposition reaction from ozone to o2, changing the equilibrium constant while essentially not being affected.

Unless people figure out some way to eat up whats already been released, there really isn't anything about it that merits news, other than the idea that as many people as possible should know.
And with android being open source, that can be fixed.
I had a fantastic experience doing a week of consulting at Tokyo Disneyland. I got a very unique view into the park from the other side of the fence.

Firstly, everyone is almost pathologically happy and friendly. It made for a very relaxed and easy working environment.

The attention to detail mentioned in the article extends into the backend. Everything was impeccably clean, and in order.

There is a uniform 'warehouse' - a huge sprawling uniform wardrobe containing thousands of uniforms in every possible size. People would walk up and say "Elf, Large size," and someone would run off and grab the appropriate costume.

Opposite the uniform area, there was a convenience store, with all the same trappings as a regular convenience store in the city.

There are secret 'doors' into the park. We used them for lunch. It was a surreal experience to use a secret door to get into the Disneyland Park, and go and order lunch at the Aladdin themed restaurant wearing a suit and tie.

Very interesting and enjoyable week to see the backend of such a large, well-oiled and well-managed operation.
The debate should not only be about Flash vs. HTML5. With SVG-Support in IE9, there's another argument against Flash coming along.

SVG is already a pretty good alternative to flash for some tasks on iPhone (eg. interactive maps).

If SVG gets the same boost like JavaScript in recent years, then SVG could be even more dangerous for Flash than HTML5.

It shouldn't be too hard to do a study on various cultures, their attitude towards dance and the incidence of autism.

That would be pretty interesting, if it turns out that dancing indeed leads to autism being less severe or cured by dancing that would be fairly big news.

That's a good screenshot comparison. I type documents in OpenOffice and have literally every toolbar disabled. If I need to change some text I use the right click menu or a hotkey.I also have my OS bar at the top of the screen to put the remaining clutter in the same area.
Hm. I am certainly no economist, but I'm still not 100% sure that I have any logical reason to agree that "it should prove good for the EU" for the EU+IMF to "bailout the problem states", or even that "it was in America's best interest to bail out the banks"...

You say that "by bailing out Greece and demanding significant austerity measures, they are attempting to contain it locally", but doesn't the process of a group of nations bailing out a member nation (or, likewise, any multinational corporation), by definition, extend the problem beyond local/intra-national economics? Especially when a currency is shared among many disparate nations? What happens if/when a nation such as Greece decides that adhering to the Euro is more trouble than it is worth?

The idea of a "a bitter, deep, cleansing period" I can get on board with -- most nations seem to be due for a fundamental economic/structural revaluation -- but like you said, not bailing out Greece could have dire 'domino' consequences, and doesn't leave much of a choice. But then, when Greece is bailed out, a nasty precedent is set, and what reputation/value will the Euro have when Spain or Portugal inevitably start to experience these very same issues?

So, I guess I return to my original question: is it at all possible for Greece to play the "tank" and absorb most of the serious economic fallout from the present situation, or are the Greeks the canary in the global coal mine? Or am I presenting a false dichotomy?

Also, you suggest in another comment that printing their own money would be a worse scenario for Greece -- why? Many countries do so, and I'd suggest that most of those countries have "profligate governments", but as far as I can tell aren't facing these obstacles to quite the same extent.

Why events suck in ActionScript 3
Where did the Lib Dem vote go? They're going to end up with fewer seats than before. Really disappointing. Either the opinion polls are bullshit (how and/or where are they held?) or people are just extremely fickle. What kind of person still hasn't made up their mind the day before an election?

The only way Labour and the Lib Dems can form a majority government is to try and bring in a host of minority parties. It's unlikely and nobody knows how this is going to pan out.
Shouldn't a network news anchor be more calm?
This can happen in all walks of life. My neighbour is a very good carpenter, made a really nice cad drawing + materials bill for a local church, they took it to a competitor to have it built.

Limiting your exposure and building up a portfolio of 'good' customers is a slow process, it can take quite a few years to get to the point where you no longer have to worry about stuff like that.

The lesson is to not give too much to a customer before you have established under what rules your relationship operates, this customer saw you do a lot of work that others would charge for for free and took advantage of that.

They felt they were not under any obligation to have you do the work, it's unethical of them but it is also partly your problem because you gave them that opportunity.

If you can avoid giving customers detailed specifications - and I really don't see how that is a requirement before getting to a contract, a global spec that you could hand to them should suffice, not something they can start building off - then that would probably be enough to safeguard from instances like this.

It's probably happened to all of us at least once though.

Also, to every story there are two sides, I'll take it on faith that this is how you see it, but chances are that they see it completely differently. They might think they guided you in drawing up the spec. Perspective can make a big difference in cases like these.

Next time be more brief, put enough time in to a proposal to make clear that you are serious, not enough to give away a serious chunk of work.

edit: on another note, I think I can glean from your writing that you are a German national working abroad. Cultural differences about stuff like this abound, not only would you probably have had a case in Germany, your customer likely would have never done that. Western Europe has a different attitude towards stuff like this than most of the rest of the world, I've found. Verbal agreements being honoured is a pretty rare thing elsewhere, it's all about the contract. I've lived in Canada for a good five years, last year I was in Germany for some business, and the company I visited gave me a roughly 7,000 Euro computer + CNC controller on my say so that I'd pay when I got back to NL, saving me a trip. I could never imagine that happening in Canada with a new business relationship.

You may have to do 'in Rome' as the Romans do, or you'll be taken advantage of!

Homemade 16TB NAS - BlackDwarf
I hadn't made up my mind the day before the election because none of the parties strongly represented my views on a wide range of policy areas. In some cases I agreed with one party, in other cases with another. Therefore I have to weigh up the difference, try to work out what means more to me and what I think will be best for the country in the long run, take into account how the vote is likely to go nationally and in my constituency, and then cast the vote I think is best.

There's nothing wrong with spending more time thinking before making a decision; it seems to me preferable to just following a gut instinct of whichever party you identify with.

"... This new talent instilled a new found confidence and, while many children with autism find it difficult to form relationships, it gave him friends from all around the UK. Along with the disco, Jimmy now has a new passion - ballet. ..."

After reading the article I'd agree, but to a point. What about those who don't find dancing interesting? So the question is what latent interests can Autistic/ADD suffers find that have the same benefits?
Do you really need a bread maker for the initial kneading? It's the same as why a bike is faster than a car. You can either cycle 20 minutes, or drive 10 minutes and spend 20 minutes exercising. Doing it by hand takes maybe 5 minutes longer, but you save 10 minutes exercising.
This reminds me of the 'no broken windows' theory.
