I try to always fly with Lufthansa, even if it is a bit more expensive. They are usually on time and they serve food and drinks. You can almost guarantee that Iberia will have some delay. KLM is also nice.

To avoid: Ryanair. Seriously, even if it's cheap it is not worth it. Also, the one time I flew with Alitalia I got the worst headache I've gotten flying.

While it's very cool, it's worth pointing out that the idea is derivative of a Unity-based game called "Planck" (as in Max, size, etc) that's been in development for quite awhile. See: http://www.shadegrowngames.com/

It's hard to believe the authors of Plink aren't aware of Planck...
Point taken. Mine is that Go attempts to solve these new ideas with 1980s programming language technology. Touting it as a reimagining of C (or anything) would be insulting to C.
Then why not go for an IPO?

These companies don't go public because they are not sustainable yet. This is what VCs are for, they take the risk to lose 100% of their investment.

When now the founder cashes out, he is not in the same boat as the VC any more. The investors have to trust you, because they have almost zero influence in the company.
When you now cash out then they are asking, why? It is a sign that the founder himself doesn't believe in the valuation. When the founder would be sure that his company will be worth billions, he is loosing money by cashing out.
It is simply unfair, because there is a big information asymmetry between the two parties.

There may be exceptions when there is a personal problem, but most of the time a decent salary is enough for everyone.

Anyway, i think this is better than in the new economy. Back then the little guy got screwed and now professional investors.
I don't feel sorry for them, they could do something against it with an endorsement. For an outsider it should just be a warning sign not to be too confident in these startups.

Very nice!

Funny, I've been spending this last week (off from work) working on an Audio API/Node.js multi-user drum machine. So it's very cool for me to see another similar idea pop up at this point. As a long-time software synth/VST/music guy, I can't wait for the browsers to catch up on audio as fast as they are visual APIs.
How 2 lose weight fast
Every human being dreams of having a coquettish and rubicund body. After all, it is the rancor of umpteen people. Sadly, losing weight is real serious more especially if they barely had the second to go to the gym, indulge in weight loss system or go on a fasting. All these can actually be done forth with a minuscule help from Acai Berry Select.

1. The Secret of the River.

Deeply hidden in the Amazon Jungle of Brazil are Acai Berries. These types of plants were harvested by the Brazilians an extendible instance ago as their main nutrient. Accordingly, these fruits did not only allot them the victuals that they require but they also deeply clean the body. Thanks to its mass of antioxidants. They are really cooperative in as far as the channel of unconstrained radicals in the body is concerned. To the natives, these Acai berries are nutrient for their bodies that is liable in keeping them sound and good. Withal, among those who are resolute to lose weight, these Acai berries supply them with trust.

2. Outlook In A Bottle.

Because of the umpteen diet pills that are out in the marketplace today, hunting for the one that will utilize best for you is rattling embarrassing. Nonetheless, pore to what the opposite say and judge. Acquire from their model and saddle yourself no more into discovering if what makes a perfect weight loss intention. Acai Berry Select has been around for quite some time now and it has already achieved vast popularity that steady Hollywood stars are into them. Good as they are, these capsules have gone on to turn to be everybody's most hot kind of for a diet supplement.

3. Staying Fit and Hearty.

It also boosts your body's push since these categories of berries proceed with pigment, nutrients and princely ingredients. Staying fit comes undemanding with these unscheduled berries packed in a bottle. They go an interminable way in promoting your aggregate somatogenic eudaimonia.
Lombok, Indonesia – for a couple of reasons.

Lombok is a laid-back, easy-going beach paradise right next to Bali. It's pretty much like Bali without tonnes of tourists.

You can get really cheap flights to Bali (since so many people go there). Going from Bali to Lombok takes less than a day by bus/taxi and ferry. I ended up near Senggigi, Lombok by coincidence last summer and ended up staying there for weeks. I halfway plan to do what you're doing once and that's probably where I would go. :-)

You will probably not find super-fast Internet connections outside of cities/tourist destinations, but unless you often need to download gigabytes of data that shouldn't be a problem.
Sometimes I find myself doing this in a small way right after I deploy a new product version or feature. My mind is open enough to take in some of the decisions that were made to get to that point.

Clearly, some other company can beat Apple in this game. But what I am speculating is that A.I. is going to be the next big thing. Siri is the first mainstream use of A.I. Even if another company might be the winner in the A.I. race which just began, Siri's public introduction will be remembered much like Apple II's or the first Mac's.
Agree. Although they do make it super simple, so it wouldn't hurt to get some background knowledge on the whole process.

It works fine, though I've found the menu selection UI a bit dodgy, it requires NTFS (a FAT32 firmware is available but that can't do DVD-size ISOs), and there seems to be an unknown limit to the number of ISOs at which point it breaks and needs eSATA to recover (disk mode USB doesn't work either). But it's the only similar thing i know of that's available now, and it gets the job done.

Note: The print contains obviously german code comments and the code stems from a function called "_0zapftis_file_execute". 0zapftis="O zapft is"=bavarian saying on the Oktoberfest when they open the first barrel of beer.

Not printed here (at least I didn't see it) is the AES private key and the names of C3P0, R2D2 and POE.
The only thing new about them is that you don't need to write "implements" or something similar.
Not necessarily. I'm a programmer (not a teenager anymore), and I listen to music almost all the time while working, which is definitely more than 2.5h per day. Of course I might be an outlier, but as streaming gets more popular and easier to use, more people would listen to it in the background, like radio.
Sure, we need safer systems languages.
Bearing in mind that all browsers (in common use) that support border-radius and gradients, also support SVG and canvas, and that SVG and canvas let you do more, are generally more performant, and have fallbacks (SVG particularly) in older browsers, why would you use Donatello?
Meh. As if that matters. It’s not really a common use case and I don’t see it becoming one. Flash will die and then rot in its niche.

From the traditional perspective of composing/songwriting or performance using acoustic instruments, this would probably seem useless. But there is a whole world of folks obsessed with coding music and instruments, check out Chuck, CSound, Max/MSP or Supercollider (which this uses as it's audio backend).

I like to think of projects like this as experimentation in technology-as-art. Even if the sound itself isn't what I would use to write songs, I still find it very satisfying to watch someone write out Lisp/Clojure code and hear organized sound come back. And I'm sure that is amplified by a million for the person who actually created this themselves!
The ultimate travel geek toolbox:

http://matrix.itasoftware.com - especially once you learn the advanced QPX language, e.g.:

SFO,LAX CX,AA,KE F HKG,ICN,NRT ~CZ+ KMG

Search for flights from LAX or SFO, on Cathay Pacific, American, or Korean Air, a single flight to stopover cities Hong Kong, Seoul, or Tokyo, then any number of flights except on China Southern to Kunming, China (where I happen to live).

They're also the source of inspiration for Hipmunk's Time Bar interface.

The one downside: you can't book directly through them. But once you know your exact itinerary you can go book somewhere else. Sometimes you'll have to call to get the fare code/construction that Matrix recommends, as it won't always come up in an airline website or kayak search.

http://kvstool.com/ (Subscription required, windows/WINE) Search all kinds of fare, routing, timetable, award info. Uses the Sabre, Amadeus, and Worldspan (the 3 major info brokers). Has a pretty decent mobile website that has saved my ass more than once (I can see that there's open seats in business on a particular flight, etc).

And down the rabbit hole: http://flyertalk.com/

Lots of people also like http://expertflyer.com/ (subscription required) as a web-based alternative to KVSTool, but I find its search engine too restrictive and the results more difficult to quickly parse.

I understand the point of the exercise and I can see that an individual coder might gain some benefit from this.

However, in a professional environment you would expect that the lead developer(s) had already given this stuff a lot of serious thought and enshrined it in a coding standards document for every member of the team to follow.
The patent application (10/6/2011) claims appear likely to be anticipated and/or practiced in the prior art. Can anyone cite prior art on which these claims read?

1. A method comprising: presenting an application offering a product for purchase, the application being from a first entity; presenting a purchase interface overlaid the application, the purchase interface being from a second entity; and completing a sales transaction without navigating away from the application.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: initially presenting a portion of the application offering the product for purchase and upon receiving an input or selection in the portion of the application revealing the full application.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the purchase interface is presented after receiving an input into the application offering the product for purchase indicating that the user desires to purchase the product.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the purchase interface is translucent.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the purchase interface is partially transparent.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the application is an advertisement.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the application is from an application server that targets applications to users.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the purchase interface is for purchasing a product directly from an online store.

Hooray! That's a big step toward becoming a better programer. (I've worked with programmers with years of experience that still just slap code together.) Your comment also painted the article in a new light for me. Perhaps doing this level of documentation would make a good exercise for newer coders. Maybe on a smaller scale - document every token in this method, or similar. I'm going to figure our a way try this now, thanks. :)
Thats what I thought of, but then I looked up average radio listening hours, and they seemed to be about 0.2 hours per person (UK figures). So I think you may still be an outlier.
Thanks! I'll check out what I can find about Lombok. Do you remember details about where you stayed? Some bungalow thingy?

Super-fast connections are not a requirement. I've been perfectly happy with my phone's slow gprs connection before. It's just important to have a connection.
> Personally, if you can get one pedophile or terrorist I wouldn't care if the whole police of Germany would share my Jena Jameson collection.

In Germany we call this line of "argument" the "Kinderpornokeule" (which roughly translates to "Child Porn Cudgel"). I'm sick and tired of people using it, in addition to - excuse my language - retarded assertions about surveillance and law enforcement, completely unrelated bullshit that's somehow supposed to prove a nonexistent point (Africa? Seriously?) and loads and loads of FUD to make sure nobody can disagree.

To make my point a bit clearer: No amount of "but think of the children", "we need to catch the terrorists" and FUD bullshit bingo will get me to relinquish essential liberties that generations of people fought hard to obtain.
The bad side-effects of this memory technology: you can't just power-off your computer to hide your current activity; decrypted passwords in memory still will be readable after shutoff.
What I'm waiting for is this technology to be open to business and consumer solutions. I dream of a world where Amazon implements drone technology into their SOA fulfillment centers and makes it possible for orders to be delivered in hours or minutes instead of days.

Imagine being a high school kid and having a job targeting drop zones for Amazon packages as drones make their final approaches. It'd be a heck of a lot cooler then driving a brown UPS truck.

> "usb ports with glue" Keyboards, Mice, Joysticks for these systems were probably designed with the idea that a USB bus would be available.

Its not particularly hard to modify/remove the drivers which make only the usb-disks work on linux. I can't imagine it being much harder on windows either.

All other usb devices could work, but not external storage.
Even better the usb drivers could contain a whitelist of device classes for which drivers can be loaded.
An IPO may be much further down the line and not everybody wants to (or has to) run a public company. 'Going Public' is not just a positive thing, it comes with a large pile of headaches as well and it isn't unusual at all to see a big chunk of money go towards all the duties that come with being a public company.

On top of that you have to weigh every word you say in public.
This is actually important to note: the software depends on an unsigned 32 bit kernel module. If it were 64 bit, it would have to be signed to function, so this particular piece of malware will only work on Windows 32.

That said, there might be Bundestrojaners for 64-bit Windows. Or even entirely different operating systems.
"Steve Jobs has said many times that if he and Apple had not done the things they did, some other person or company -- within a short time period, would have done them."

Yes, someone probably would "do them". Probably not as well. Probably without the attention to detail. Had the Lisa and Macintosh come out, Microsoft or someone else probably would have still shipped a really crappy GUI. Maybe we'd still be using Windows 1.0.

I'd add many, many others, for example: don't book priority boarding with ryanair if you're a solo traveller; just get on last (this also means you get to keep your legs stretched as long as possible) and sit between the people at the front who always grab a window and aisle seat. Everyone else then roams further in to do the same, midway down the plane, leaving the middle seat free.
In the studio, of course, it'd be even funnier to watch, because he'd be licking the air.

I agree with you completely. It's rational for a "hungry" founder to prefer a 50% chance of a $250MM exit to a 20% chance of a $2B exit which is exactly wrong for the VC.

I like that some investors are wising up to the reality that you can get better outcomes if you make sure the entrepreneur's utility curve is aligned with the investors'. That said, I do think there's a difference between providing the entrepreneur liquidity and buying him a megayacht.
I absolutely loved that talk, thanks for reminding me of it
Golden Section in the Apple
Thanks i'm aware of my Renaissance art, but the things that connected Donatello the artist to Raphael the artist is being italian and a gap of nearly 20 years, in the reverse order you would think, given that there are now two derivative libraries built on Raphael named Donatello.

The ninja turtles connection is, even if you were talking about the artists, the more likely link :P
