As someone who has only been in the software development culture for about two years, I can firmly say that it truly has some incredibly helpful people. People are always eager to help others (I.e. Stackoverflow, Lean startup circle, etc) and interestingly enough, humility is more common than one would expect from a group of absolute geniuses.
This is really cool and super simple to install... Nice work!
Note my other comment on why liquid fueled rockets are preferred for manned flight because you can turn them off. Once you light off a SRB you're 100% committed until it burns out (at best, although at least the fuel in the Space Shuttle ones has a proper pressure and burn rate feedback: as pressure increases burn rate goes down, addressing some of the worst issues, e.g. a sudden increase in propellant surface area due to a crack).

To my now somewhat hazy memory, except for the first few Mercury suborbital missions (which were done in a real hurry) the only manned space flight system to use SRBs is the Shuttle.
It's just 'out of phase'

It's the phase that makes it pay it _forward_ instead of backward. Obviously in every interaction, at most one of the actors can pay it forward.
I have also never seen anybody receive a negative remark for wearing a suit to a business meeting but I've seen the opposite often.
So I tried it out and have a few comments.

First, the 'Search Terms' report does not appear to be working right. The terms appear, but it lists '10' for the number of visitors for all terms, yet Analytics shows these search terms bringing in thousands and thousands of visitors. Also the vast majority of terms show no 'Previously' value and those all show 'NaN' in the Diff field.

Second, the 'Referring Sites' page has a bug where it shows 'Search Term Analysis' as the header when your on the page. Also, this Referring Sites report would be cool if it had a line graph. The top 10 referring sites, each represented as a line. The X axis is time, the Y axis is number of visitors. Go 12 months back, each month getting a data point. Also, being able to sort this table by 'Diff' would be nice.

Third, the 'Browsers' report has a minor bug in the labels can overlap each other. For example here is my report and I'm guessing the green is IE 6, but I can't read it: http://telparia.com/ringbug.png

Lastly, you should strongly consider using some more interactive charting library. I highly recommend Highcharts: http://www.highcharts.com/

Overall, it was pretty nice. I liked the time of day analysis report the best. I've already un-linked my account, as I didn't see any disclaimers that you won't use my data elsewhere or get data when I'm not viewing the site. You may want to add a notice somewhere that the data you get from analytics is never saved in your database or shared with anyone else.

Note: I may sign back up again in the future, once you've had some time to add more reports and grow a bit :) Good luck :)

One more thing: I did not see any way to contact you on the site. No e-mail address, or feedback form. So I had to post my bug report and comments here :)

One more bug: The browsers report showed 335,107 IE visitors. Google analytics for the same time period says 1.8 million visits by IE users.

Another strawman is the idea that the theory and model of evolution should be retrofitted all the way back to the beginning of time, a moment for which we do not have many data points, that the discussion should take place there, and that it should necessarily preclude any model of creationism derived from Genesis, and thereby preclude any investigation into the historicity of the Resurrection, an event of 30 lifetimes ago, for which we have many data points, neutral, opposed and biased.
I see you confuse being available (as in "I kept a copy around") with being alive and actively developed.

I see you confuse source being available with being alive and actively developed. Sure, in theory, with source available its possible that someone pick it up and keep it alive. But often you either need a critical mass for that. MySQL may go on forever, but I can walk through the GitHub or SourceForge cemetery to find many dead bodies that will likely never be resurrected.

BTW, for many companies, you can often get the code in escrow. So if they discontinue or stop supporting the product, you get the source code.

Why is this being downvoted? Looks informative to me, unless it's just plain wrong? Am I missing something?
You're certainly free to suspect what you like -- it's impossible to rigorously test every opinion. I would hope, though, that if you were considering making it your life's work to campaign for eradicating religion, you would do so based on more than a suspicion.

My suspicion is that if religion were eradicated, people who want to compel others to do war or terrorism would quickly find other pretenses and other empty promises. This suspicion is consistent with Robert Pape's finding controlling variables for increasing/decreasing terrorism that are not connected to religiosity.

Constraints are important for innovation. By "not allowing" you do things, new ideas and solutions bubble up. And the market decides if/how much a particular product succeeds. Many devs on this board own both a full computer and an iPad. I do, and enjoy both! Glad to see Metro moving forward and competing with iOS.
>Who cares to interact with the operating system for anything other than to run applications?...Desktop computing fails, in part, because the operating system is so easy to corrupt, even for an ordinary user.

These are the main two reasons why the average person shouldn't have a full PC. The attack has always been to insult the user. I'm enjoying the experimentation that is coming with touch. It's forcing the engineer to think what is best for the user instead of what is easier for themselves. Freedom will not disappear for the power user but the needs of the average user has to be met.
That could be a good alternative to the sites that are flooded with low-quality development firms from places with a low cost of living.
Explain P = NP problem to 10 year old
If you think in a level or two, it's not that strange. Although Google Plus gets the buzz, it's the Profile that's the real product; Plus is just honey for the flies. The purpose of the Profile is to connect your Real Identity with your activity, specifically your social activity, and to correlate with the activities of your network of connections. So sharing posts in Reader and pictures in Picasa are social activities, and therefore interesting to Google.

As time goes on, more Google services will take on more social activity. There's Data in them thar hills! Email, by the way, is the ultimate social activity. Google knows that, because they give you 7G space just for email storage. So expect your gmail account to some day be at as much risk of loss as any other Google service, by their TOS, if you run afoul of the Real Name policy, or any other anti-social policy that they come up with.

There might be a couple reasons why your Real Name connected with yours and others' activity is interesting to Google. Either they're trying to help you have a civilized conversation with known associates in the online equivalent of a fancy coat and tie required restaurant with an assortment of mysterious cutlery and gold rimmed crystal. Or they want to make ads more valuable.

I think I hear Occam sharpening up his razor.
I think it is just a viewpoint shift.

Whether you look at the two people that interact at one instant in time or at one person at two different points in their lives the chain remains the same.

I've had plenty of help in the past and I'm giving plenty of help in the present (as much as I can, which is still way too little). That means that for me the 'pay it forward' mechanism is a very real component of my life.

Those that are on the receiving end are not under any obligation, other than a moral one. And I'm pretty sure that for some of them the message is lost, but every now and then the spark lights a new flame.

Pay it forward is an asynchronous mechanism, whether it actually worked or not you can't even determine in most cases.

A 41% drop is not that bad if you manage to get millions of visitors to a WebMD type site. It's horrible if you're Google and want to be a major competitor to Facebook, let's face it, you're supposed to continue growing, not slowing down growth.

I never really understood anyone that thought Google+ was going to be the next big social network. It all comes down to dopamine. Google+ fails in supplying any dopamine rushes. Facebook doesn't fail as much.

I apologize in advance for this ode to Vim, but I feel I should get it off my chest.

I admit, the main reason for me to develop in Vim these days is to simply minimize the number of keystrokes I have to press (and the number of times I have to reach for the mouse), because, due to RSI, I experience a mild, but constant, and noticeable discomfort in my wrists (...and triceps, and shoulder) whenever I type (I distinctly remember I developed it in Eclipse during my Symbian C++ development internship). I honestly tried Emacs a few times because of superior Lisp editing, but it just didn't stick, I just can't bring myself to press more keys than I use to in Vim. Force of habit? Maybe.

I have never expected to be "hooked up" on Vim, but I was. In my first job out of the university I was writing Linux-based embedded software almost exclusively. I could never get used to Linux GUI editors after Visual Studio: the lack of any built-in IDE features and constant switching from the editor to the shell made me switch away to something closer to the shell. The initial discomfort of modal editing was less annoying than the lack of features and the accessibility of shell in Linux GUI editors (Eclipse CDT was a pain to set up and use back in these days). Then the discovery of split windows, regex replacement, folds, macros, ex-mode commands, and extensions made my experience what I then thought tolerable.

The mechanical memory had set in, and, upon moving on to my next job, I discovered that I could no longer use Visual Studio with as much comfort as I used Vim! It was curious, since I've "grown up" as a programmer with Visual Studio in the 4 years at the university.

It has snowballed further since then: remapping ';' to ':', ZQ and ZZ shortcuts, quickfix window, copy-paste registers, more motions with text objects ("delete between {}", "move to next ','", replace "()" with "[]", indent 4 line with "4>>"), sorting selected lines, coming up simple with ad-hoc refactoring functions and macros on the fly, marks, buffer greps, jumping between files with LustyExplorer an NERDTree, plugins (VimScript must die, but while it's there, it does the job), and falling back to the shell where Vim falls short. A few vimgolf (there is a site for this) challenges also added some tricks into my toolbox.

Right now I use Vim whenever I can. It does show its age, especially in areas like REPL, IDE features and code completion (it'll get there, eventually, I hope), but I just don't feel at home using anything else at the moment. I'm always on the lookout on the future of Vim or its next successor.

PS: Disclaimer: I don't necessarily advocate for everyone to learn Vim, it really requires a non-trivial investment of time to establish the necessary mechanical memory, but it was worth it for me personally (I do C, C++ and Python almost exclusively). Depending on your domain and the technology you use, you may be better off using Emacs (Lisp) or VS with Resharper (C#).

Rating 3/10. I don't think this article is written by someone who knows the topic well.

e.g. you don't too complicated math as claimed in this line:

>> It is known that all P problems are NP problems; the proof requires math which is too complicated for this article but may be explained in the future.

For P problems can be solved easily and then the solution can be easily verified. This means all P problems are NP problems too.

Good news!! Better Article Exists.

"In light of the thousands of eye witness accounts, is it sensible to say that?"

Well, this is funny, because here's the issue on which Dawkins fails completely to apply the principles he advocates we all should.

Incidentally, so do you. You claim thousands of eye witness accounts. Well, how many of those have been independently verified? Furthermore, even the highly know and regarded ones are ridden with inconsistencies and outright lies (I'm thinking Elie Wiesel here).

And even if they were there remains the point that no hard proof whatsoever has been produced to support the claim that the Holocaust as is told today ever happened. No documents exist that don't require a double interpretation to support such claim. No gas chambers that differ any bit from standard delousing chambers used at the time, even in the US, have ever been uncovered. This could go on.

I'm not trying to advocate for one version or the other. That's not the point. The point is, that this issue is NEVER applied the same principles that are applied to a rational inquiry or scientific endeavour or even a case being judged in a court of law. If you don't believe me, well, go and check by yourself. But don't just limit yourself to the Yad Vashem because that's the same as reading the Bible and saying it proves itself (although there are plenty of inconsistencies in the Yad Vashem data curiously).

I admire Dawkins and his work, but the truth is, in the issue of the Holocaust he's as stupid as the people he accuses of being stupid. Even worse, I bet he would viciously defend his stupidity against anyone who would challenge him otherwise.

• Uncertainty on the part of the speaker about the accuracy or credibility of the
content

I think it makes sense (hah!) to periodically ask your audience if they're still with you, especially if they have confused looks on their faces. It's an invitation for feedback. Also, depending on the subject at hand, it might not be a bad idea to show some humility and allow people to express doubts about the accuracy of the content.

• Doubt about the ability of the audience to comprehend or appreciate the content.

I don't think so, but that might be because I'm not a native speaker and this implication could well be one of those finer points that are lost on me. "Does that make sense?" is not the same as "Did you manage to understand this?" In my native language, speakers use the latter more often (typically using an inflection suggestive of the fact that the audience is entirely composed of brainless maggots who crawl before a glorious superior being) and I do find it insulting, but I believe these expressions are very different from each other.
From the Oxford A–Z of Grammar and Punctuation by John Seely:

split infinitive

The infinitive is the form of the verb made by adding to to its stem:

to go

Some traditionalists say that you should never place anything between the to and the stem. They argue that since the infinitive is a part of the verb it should never be split. So it is wrong to say to boldly go. You should instead say to go boldly or boldly to go.

There is no grammatical justification for this so-called 'rule', and people have been splitting infinitives for centuries. Indeed sometimes it is impossible to convey your meaning unless you do split an infinitive. For example:

Everyone else thought they were too young to really cope with adult responsibilities.

If you move really to another position you change the meaning of the sentence:

Everyone else thought they were too young really to cope with adult responsibilities.

Everyone else thought they were too young to cope really with adult responsibilities.

Even though i would be sticking with Google for now, but i commend your compilation. IMO I would go with these alternatives.

Gmail -> +1 to your idea of personal domain. Though there are other alternatives like gmx, fastmail (as you mentioned), etc

Reader -> Thunderbird is not so great, there are many other clients which are far better feed readers like FeedDemon. Even Liferea and Akgregator are good.

Calendar -> Thunderbird and if you have some money to shell out Outlook is unbeatable. Also evolution is not bad either!

Address book -> Thunderbird and Outlook

Docs -> Ms Word or Libre Writer. MS Word has been around for quite some time and is really polished. Writer on the other hand is like an untamed beast with lots of feature.

Picasa -> Flickr, or if you want to get your hands dirty, you can try zenphoto on your personal domain.

Blog -> Blogger has become relatively old and i have seen many of the old blogs migrating to either Posterous or Tumblr. Obviously one can go for their own domain with Wordpress on it.

Search -> +1 on DDG. Its awesome! It has been my primary search engine for a while now.
So let me start this one off by saying "developers! developers! developers!"

This isn't Windows 8 RTM, this is Windows (7-to-become-8) Developer Preview where they show off where they are heading, give you a chance to get a feel for it, get a feel for the design-language Microsoft is putting out here and allow you to adapt your applications to this new format.

Because this is really such a new format, you need to play with it to get it.

So yes, this is very incomplete. In it's current state it is not intended as a production OS to replace Windows 7 either. It's a developer preview. It's supposed to bring developers up to speed on the Windows 8 platform and how you build for it.

Lots of people are treating this as a beta, almost like an RTM, and I honestly think people doing that is missing the point entirely.
I share your opinion on the rationality of looking at the likelihood of historical events.

Do Barnett and Bruce detail the evidence for the stories of hundreds of early martyrs? I wonder if those stories could have been created later in order to strengthen the apparent case.
Religion encourages people not to question things (including reasons for wars), which is reason enough for me to oppose it. That is just my personal preference, though, I'd like people to question things and generally be rational.

Of course it is possible to not question things and not be religious, which might explain the terrorism study. Also, of course there are sometimes valid reasons for wars, and clearly not all wars have anything to do with religion at all.

So maybe I am not campaigning against religion so much as for logic and rational thought. Religion just happens to be in the way.
Nick Mamatas (who is both a writer and a small-press editor) once argued that the true market value of an ebook, at least for fiction, is around 99 cents, because that’s how much a typical book costs in a used bookstore. (Not having visited a used bookstore in a while, I have to take his word for it.) In other words, if you want to read a novel and you don’t care about its format, you can get one for 99 cents.

"Is the Jewish viewpoint a viewpoint that any man can have? Because if it is not, then it's certainly not something that is truly valuable for humanity... yak, yak, yak."

This isn't really true for Judaism. There is no "Jewish viewpoint". Jews believe that they are the chosen people, and they have to live by a different set of rules to other peoples.

It's not immoral for non-Jews to perform works on Saturday, simply because they don't have to live by that rule.

I'm not sure if it was the cartoons or the clarity in the explanation, but this definitely adds a more humanistic view to sales and what it takes to be successful.

So many problems with the headline and details.

"24 hours" figure seems extrapolated from "All day use". No where that I could find did Intel say "24 hours". Just that slide that says "all day use".

"Unlimited battery life" is based on the assumption that you could recharge your MacBook using ambient light. There was a demo supposedly showing a new processor running off a lightbulb/ambient light. A macbook, however, has this thing called a monitor that would also have to be powered.
I really wanted them to be. They definitely have enough talent to have been so. The way they described themselves, they were exactly what I was looking for. But (my opinion only) they turned out to be full of bullshit and meh.

But the majority of G+ users are probably going to disagree with me. They may not ever be a serious competitor to Facebook (and who says they need to be?), but they probably will make a lot of money with it.
This link from a comment in the submission is more interesting, because it has the correct answer with the idea of the proof.
