Agreed, it's never come up for me during the months that I've been using a Pre on Verizon.

I'll tell you what has come up for me, though- the Pre's UI for multi-tasking is way better than that found under iOS. There are a lot of things I dislike about the Pre, but the WebOS UI is not one of them. If only I could merge the hardware and app selection of the iPhone with the UI of the Pre... well, a guy can dream.
Here's the story, for those of you who don't have access:

National Postdoc Appreciation Week was officially recognized by the US Congress on 23 September. The move confers no funding and creates no laws. But it is vital for building awareness of postdocs' research contributions as well as of their compensation issues and other woes, says Cathee Johnson Phillips, executive director of the National Postdoc Association (NPA) in Washington DC. The NPA, along with institutions nationwide, began the week in 2009. This year, it was 20–24 September and more than 70 institutions took part. In the past, most legislators knew little about postdocs, says Phillips. “Now, when our members talk to them about compensation and benefits, they'll say, 'Let's talk,' not 'What's a postdoc?'” she says.
Take the opposite approach and start creating more software and more services right now. Then when some big player comes knocking, you'll have documented prior art.
There's too many comma's in that process (or: too many steps) for me to consider it to be a serious problem.

// edit: for whoever downvoted me: The more steps it takes to reproduce an issue, the less likely someone is to complete all the steps and run into it. The OP listed three steps, that will only happen under rare circumstances (people don't normally go to concerts every day).
Gamma Dynamics e-paper promises speed, brightness and low-cost manufacturing
Thanks for all of the suggestions so far.

I'll admit I don't exercise nearly as much as I used to. After college, I moved from a big city where everything was within walking distance to one where a car is necessary for everything--no widespread public transportation and not bike-friendly. In that, I've totally fallen off my walking regimen. Out of boredom back in the city, I'd walk 2-3 miles a day (even though a perfectly good train system was in place) and come back feeling great. I never realized it mattered so much!

My eating habits weren't entirely different then, but I got out more and did walk so the exercise was there.

Will still go visit a dietician, but also go back to walking and taking all of these food suggestions to heart.
Does everyone follow PG by default or did I just guess someone else's phrase?
He communicates mostly in Enlgish, it is certainly possible to learn politesse of your native language.

But if he as a human has to have some personal flaws, am fine with sacrificing that.

So then on Verizon you could do everything but hit 'Send' on the email.

I too don't put much value on the simultaneous voice/data feature, but then again I have 2 phones, so I usually multitask by using two devices. Even without that though, I've never really felt a huge demand for the voice+data thing.
No.

I think that until recently, the Android market and the iPhone markets had only a little overlap; there were relatively few people that had a perfectly equal inclination to purchase an iPhone or an Android device, assuming that both were available on their carrier-of-choice.

Meanwhile, AT&T has continued to be one of the top complaints about the iPhone. [1] (This doesn't help Apple's image, BTW; if Apple is so concerned with the end-user experience, then why are they in bed with one of the most-hated companies in the U.S.?)

In other words, Android has been a popular fall-back for people that wanted a solid smart phone without AT&T. Although Android has been doing very well for Verizon [2], I have no trouble imagining that Verizon has lost out on a sizable amount of business from the market segment that preferred the iPhone to Android. Android 2.2 came out just a couple of weeks ago; back in July, a Verizon iPhone could have been a big deal.

Now that Android has finally caught up to the iPhone (IMO), I think the holdouts are going to start picking up Android devices, which is going to cost Apple, which has already fallen behind Android in terms of both growth and popularity.

On the other hand, AT&T has been paying Apple by the metric ton for the exclusivity deal, so maybe that money has been worth the lost market share for Apple and they just don't give a shit.

edit: I suspect that a lot of this comes down to some politics and personalities. Apple had to have pissed off Verizon a bit when they offered a hugely popular device, but only for Verizon's only real U.S. competitor; then Apple pissed off Google shortly after; then, not too much further along, we start to hear that Verizon and Google are getting real friendly with each-other, possibly in an "any enemy of my enemy is a friend of mine" way. Verizon's been happy to push Android real hard, Google's been happy to support Verizon, and the two of them together are certainly putting some hurt on Apple/AT&T. It just sucks that consumers are getting caught in the middle.

Incorporate your site into the app. Generate a "site" controller and then populate the views for your main page with the site. Use the controller if you want anything to be dynamic. Then set your routes so that the root is site/index. "map.root :action => 'index', :controller => 'site'" etc. Then you can use the rails app as a sort of CMS while maintaining the domain.

That seems like it also reduces some of the potential security downsides. You probably don't want a situation where tricking a user into giving up their password results in the ability to instantly pull huge piles of information.

If you're fully saturated with work and you're not making as much as your salary, you're probably not charging enough.

Freelancing's risk is that projects come and go, so you need higher rates compared to salaried jobs to provide more of a buffer zone for yourself.

On the other end, your clients are saving from not having to provide benefits and having efficient resourcing (both in that they can ramp up the work when needed, and the fact that if you're billing per hour, you're actually doing work as opposed to someone just hanging out at their 9-5 job)

How is getting the data?

EDIT: It sounds like periodic scraping coupled with a lot of made up data to add flavor.
From what I can tell, there are no privacy settings, and you can be added to a group without your permission. My friend just did a test where he created a group, added me, and it showed up in my feed to others without any confirmation from me adding myself to the group. To any readers here:

1. Is it correct that this is the default setup?

2. Is there any way to change these settings? I don't see any, but I may not be a power user of facebook's security settings.

3. If the answers to 1 and 2 are yes and no, respectively, are people as appalled by this as I am? As an example, right now someone could make a group called "Americans for Anal Fingerings", add me to it, and now it shows up in my grandfather's feed. I have done a lot of work to keep from my grandfather that I like anal fingerings, and now all that work is all down the drain!

Beware: Hackers Causing Security Threats for Everybody
It seems that ISBNs have been out only since the 70s, which means that most truly valuable books won't have them.

I almost did a web dev job for a bookseller who was closing his bricks-and-mortar store to go online, and he said the really profitable books were not the really old ones. It would be a book someone remembered from their childhood, etc. Mostly modern stuff. It takes a seriously long time for oldness to impart value.
It's actually of benefit - there is a book out there that I want but it's hidden in a library or garage sale in a city 1000mi away.
This guy makes it available for me to buy at a price I set on Amazon - rather than the book ending up in the trash and me not having what I want.
At Seeing Interactive, our goal is to save the journalistic and community building functions of the "paper" as well as keep the papers profitable.

The only way we know how to do that right now is to help newspapers make significantly more money online.
I had a teen in a Sunday School class I taught who didn't have a conscience. He didn't have any sense of right and wrong, or of consequences for actions. He was a major bully; two other kids in my class of seven actually changed schools to get away from him (which made Sunday mornings interesting, to say the least!) He only respected strength -- but he also needed to be loved.

Like I said, don't limit your arsenal. Not even for the "wild" ones (even if they're animals to a large extent, they're still people to some extent.) Defend yourself and the innocent fully, but don't think that means you can't also love your enemy.

$1000 a week? That's it? Yes, I know that you can make a decent living on that (in the Midwest)... but for what? Would you truly be happy doing that? It just seems like a lot of busy work with little long-term return. Most software devs make much more than that. I guess I'm not really keen on the idea of trading hours for dollars. To each their own I guess.

I have been bullied and I have also been a bullie myelf (frist the former then the latter).

Your advice is sound. Bullie "smells" the weakness - indeed they never pick on challenges, they always look for victims. So the only way out is not embracing (showing weakness) but through fight (showing strength).

You might get beaten up anyway - but if you show "will to power" they might start respecting you - since you "might exert revenge" on them someday. It's really how it works.

And my dad also taught me never to start a fight - but to make sure to finish it. It just took me long to "get it".
I think you underestimate how much I hate exercise.

The first step is to understand what biological processes affect hunger and energy levels. I'm going to butcher the details for simplicity's sake, so please do further research yourself.

You get hungry and/or tired because your blood sugar is too low, and your cells are craving some energy. So you eat, and your blood sugar rises. Your body then produces the insulin to turn that blood sugar into usable energy in your cells, and you regulate to a normal, satiated, energetic state for awhile, until your blood sugar starts to drop, and you become hungry and/or tired again.

The reason snacks are recommended is because it's not just what you eat, but how you eat it. If you spike your blood sugar (e.g. eat a bag of candy), your insulin will also spike, reducing your blood sugar to "I'm hungry and tired" levels again before you're actually in need of more food. It's a regulatory system, so your body overcompensates when you introduce a shock to the system.

It will take you time to adjust to a better system, because you're purging your habitual behaviors, and your body will resist this change even though you know it is beneficial.

I highly recommend looking into the "south beach diet". The only "diet" part of it is the first two weeks, when you effectively quit simple and refined carbohydrates (which break down into blood sugar far more quickly than fats and proteins, and therefore create spikes in your regulatory system), and break the addiction you have to an unhealthy cycle. You'll have to force yourself to eat protein in the morning, eat when you're not hungry, eat vegetables, and generally retrain your body with all the normal "diet" behavior.

You only have to do this for 2 weeks (and it's not too hard to do any diet for 2 weeks). After that, you've effectively returned your system back to a normal state. Then it becomes about re-introducing a lot of the things you enjoy, but approaching them with a full understanding of how your body is processing them.

This, of course, assumes your problem really is nutrition. Sleep cycles (and deprivation), exercise, light exposure, and more serious medical conditions (see your doctor, I am not one!) can also be contributing factors.

I know you didn't say you wanted to lose weight, but I want to share that the south beach "diet" (really, "lifestyle") helped me lose weight and, far more importantly, keep it off for the past 3+ years.
My two cents: I don't think much of the modern pseudo-journalism (and journalists) are worth saving. Granted, I don't subscribe to my local paper (the San Diego union is a noted piece of junk), but I can only think of a couple of writers who have the integrity and ability to call themselves journalists.

Most of the content produced nowadays has been chosen specifically to elicit a strong emotional response from readers/viewers. It's not worth saving, in my mind, because I disagree with the central precept of the linked article, that the content they generate is worthwhile.

Besides, most of the stuff is just reprinted from reuters anyhow. Even the comics stink nowadays. Ever read the sports section? Look at how backwards (and intentionally so!) the sports sections are (if you're unfamiliar with how wrong modern sports "journalists" are, read FireJoeMorgan).

In short, journalism already has gone away. All that's remaining is to clear the husk that remains.

Since Android is much more of a threat to Apple than Windows Phone 7 appears to be, it makes sense that Gruber would praise it at the expense of Android. This evaluation is based on 5 minutes of use at a cocktail party. I think if someone had put a live eel in his hand and asked him to compare it to Android, he would have praised the eel's smooth skin in comparison to Android devices.

Ah yes, the old "we are bombing them for their own good" argument.

To answer your question directly, yes it would be more peaceful (it was more peaceful in both cases before we invaded and i expect things would settle down pretty soon after we left). More importantly, the blood would not be on our hands.

And (I'll say it again) if we waged peace by providing food, medicine, education, etc we could save a lot of lives, instead of stoking the cycle of violence.
Because if they knew what they were doing, they'd be doing it.
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I thought that local newspapers were doing fine. Most large city and metro papers are hurting, but small community papers are entirely different. Typically they are supported by ads and distributed to everyone in the community (no subscribers). They tend to have truly local news that isn't or can't be covered by major newspapers and rarely makes it into online news.

Sometimes the thorium, when it absorbs a neutron, will emit two neutrons and turn into thorium-231, which decays (though a couple more isotopes) into U-232. It can also be formed when U-233 absorbs a neutron and emits two, forming U-232.

How hard this would be to separate depends on the type of LFTR design you're using. However, you could also include some thorium-230 in the fuel mix to denature any protactinium produced, so there's really no way around having U-232 mixed with the bred U-233. Here's a blog post with more details on the entire process:

I thought all of the arguments against nuclear were overwhelmingly about NIMBY (not in my backyard). People just look at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl and think "hell no."
