Liturgical vestments     
Both online and offline suppliers of Liturgical vestments are available. The reputation of suppliers matters a lot when it comes to purchase something related to church like Vestments catholic etc. So you should opt for only those suppliers who have reputed history both in terms of quality and price. Browsing internet will be tedious and time consuming task because of the availability of myriad of options. Watts and co. is perfect in terms of quality and price. In fact the quality and design pattern is just timeless. You can’t even compare their Priest vestments with any other. To take the glimpse of their unique, traditional, innovative and rich designs of Liturgical vestments, you can click at below link and then you will feel like you are in Victorian era. It is just because of the rich culture they follow.

April 1961: Popular Science suggests Africans eat hippopotamuses
How ridiculous.

We can say the exact same thing about test drives, trial subscriptions, free samples at Costco, etc etc. Any type of "sampling", or indeed any marketing, can be said to be paying customers subsidizing non-paying customers.

All of the above cases are completely absurd points to make, including in relation to Apple.
"The reality is that passive racism and ageism is still extremely active within the recruitment industry."

I agree this is an issue in the industry, but I believe this point is a serious issue at the companies end rather than the responsibility of the recruiters. Surely the reason it is easier to "sell" white European candidates is that is what the companies want, and the people they end up hiring, this is completely unethical clearly, but recruiters are reacting to this. I am sure if recruiters could submit any C.V. regardless of age and race and still make the money they would.
If it only happens every 10 years, software developers are likely to forget about it. Hello a batch of crashing systems every 10 years. When it happens every 1.5 years there's a trickle effect - only systems introduced in the last 1.5 years will have trouble and developers are more likely to remember to factor it in.

Not necessarily. I often find my self upvoting articles that either seem interesting or have interesting discussions in order to go back to them and review them. Most often than not I read the comments first and then the article.

If someone would implement some code pattern depending on the number of votes that pattern has on HN they have a bigger problem than how HN voting works.
If you use DNS round robin, then you pretty much guarantee that everyone will be affected if just one hosting company is down. DNS round robin is not the tool for this job.
Care to comment on the downvote?
I don't doubt that there are some employers who are as much to blame as recruiters but I firmly believe that in London at least, most tech companies would be as open to a non-UK candidate as they would to a UK national.

The point I was making is that racism and ageism are rampant purely because it's easier to sell UK based experience than it is to sell foreign experience whereas anyone who truly understands the technicalities of what the candidate has achieved in their career would pay no attention to the geographical location of said achievements.

Call it passive racism if you prefer.

I went into the apple store in Basingstoke, UK the morning after the keynote. They had a Retina MBP out (only one, it is Basingstoke after all, and not for sale) for people to play with. They were taking orders for pickup in the next week or two.
Interesting. We moved away from VPS.net for a similar reason. There were multiple occasions where hosts got shut down and support couldn't tell us the reason for it. Since we're using hand-rolled virtualization on top of a few rented servers, we're basically problem-free.
I'm not downplaying that practice; of course it is common.

What I do have trouble is the general sentiment that they go out of their way to help you, and it is just embedded in the price tag. And the blame for that is not even on Apple side - it's on you.

And, like I've stated, I just PERSONALLY don't like it, as a general practice.
You can do standard REST, or whatever you want with GWT. IMHO what really sucks with GWT is the language; Java really sucks sometimes and its full of ceremony. Also, I think they made the same mistake that the Swing guys did: they provided for a toolkit but they didn't provide a framework, ie, a standard way of putting it all together.

Anyway, you can check what the jBoss guys are doing with GWT, looks good even for Java: http://www.jboss.org/errai I think that if Java ever gets proper closures it will may be more of an acceptable solution for some cases.
So you want to let people photograph in changing rooms and restrooms? I suspect you've not thought this through.
BYOD: Time To Adjust Your Privacy Expectations
I don't know if this exists but I think it's a nice idea. Two things though:
1. in my country (The Netherlands) there are laws surrounding sweepstakes and I guess in other countries also. Make sure you write something about that on your website. And maybe those laws even apply to you, so check that out.
2. why not make this idea broader and have Tweet Polls?
i garee..not all so called JQuery programmers can be atleast able to debug a low level JS...
I like how you apologize for stereotyping Java developers by clarifying that you really wanted to stereotype ALL kinds of developers.
It shouldn't be about being able to "read". Ideally it should be something that only human could "solve". May be stupid example, but I can't come up with a better one (and if I could, I would be a lot wealthier by now ;) ): show a picture where a forest in landscape is violet and ask a user to identify what's odd on that picture. Another example, show a face with two noses. Ask them to identify the odd item. Things like that. Easy for human, impossible for computers. The problem is that these tasks need to be generated by humans, as I cannot think of any (irreversable) way to do this automatically. May be mechanical turk to the rescue?

I'd happily accept a bigger memory consumption in exchange for threaded/multi-process tabs. Does anyone know how the current state of that project is? The main reason that keeps me with Chrome is that in Chrome a single tab's JavaScript going mad doesn't affect any other part of the browser, while Firefox still completely freezes.

Backpack Gone?
Interesting so Google has an "Internal Afairs" dept who audit themselves ie if some one looks up celbrities details internaly either for curiosity or to sell to the tabloid press.

I know that big telcos have internal security goups and British Telecoms had/has a ferocious rep.

BT got even stricter after some one got a temp job and looked up the x diretory numbers for one of the Queens residences.

After that they started doing posative vetting for team leads on major projects - that is the equivelent of TS clearance in the USA
This post is simple blind conjecture based on the shape of the case. Apple might have moved to iOS or might not. The Darwin core does support network routing, but they wouldn't be able to market it as an iOS device without paying a hefty chunk of cash to Cisco (who own the IOS trademark, licenced by Apple).

I really dislike reading articles like this on HN. It's upvoted because it looks like something new at first glance but has absolutely no data points and is idle speculation. When someone confirms whether or not it is an iOS device I'm interested, but until then, forget it.

Ask HN: What VoIP solution do you use for remote pair-programming?
Next my team is splitting between continent.
To prepare for this move, we started using tmux (I highly recommend Brian P. Hogan tmux book (http://pragprog.com/book/bhtmux/tmux).
While tmux is awesome and it's a shame we haven't used until now, Skype and Google Talk's connection isn't stable enough for an 8 hour pairing session, we need a more stable solution.

I've heard about Mumble (https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble) but haven't yet tried it.

One big reason I don't like FB is, it is having games. Even though I don't play games on FB, but my friends do. And every day I see lots of notification saying, your friend is playing that awesome game, score of your friend is xxx can you beat that, your friend needs your help for abc game.

How exactly does someone check that someone is above or below a certain age online?

If you don't want to allow < 13, you just need to make sure you ask and don't accept people who reply with < 13. It then becomes the kid's legal guardian responsibility to make sure the child doesn't use the service.

If you do want to accept it, you need to use IRL methods (phone call, credit card, etc).

Lambda Calculus and Common Lisp[2008]
Great idea guys! I can already see myself designing something and building a quick real-world prototype and sharing the url of that with clients.
So much better than designing/wireframing something, creating a 1000-layer mockup in photoshop, sending over a dozen JPEGS to the client and explaining what's what.
As a designer the interface is a nobrainer. I can just step in and get to work. Very easy! Nice to see 960 grids-support as well!
I understand there's no liquid-layout support but thats okay. It's not the most important thing. (And I feel you could always add support for that later).

The lines on the map represent stargates which link between systems. systems are organised into constellations, constellations into regions. blue lines are intra-constallation, red are inter-constallation, and magenta are inter-region (and often the longest ones).
The best game I've ever played, most likely the best game I will ever play, but also the worst game I've ever played, predominantly due to its learning 'curve'.

Played during 6 months of beta and for ~2.5 years into release and there's nothing really like it. In the end, I got bored of the setting and I tried to get back into it recently, but it didn't grab me any longer.

The memories of the Querious region...I was in a CFS alliance corp and seeing CFS breaking up by bickering and losing that region to CA (or FA or something..can't really remember) felt like real loss. The only game that ever caused that feeling.

There's a couple of multi-purpose, kitchen sink icons. You have the lines, the cog, the star, the plus, the dot and maybe a few others. What they mean is "I wasn't creative enough to come up with a better icon so I'm just going to dump the kitchen sink of miscellany behind this vague and non-specific icon and let context do the rest".
Nitpick: attendance at a council run school is not compulsory (i.e. you are free to home school or send your kid to private schools).

Of course, paying for council run schools is compulsory.
Here in Spain the experience outside Apple stores is terrible.

If you go to Worten, or Carrefour and try to use an iPad you will find no Internet(!), with password protected Wifi, it seems they are "saving" money, or they don't want people to use the machines at all, only buy them. The machines have no interesting apps on it.

Just the other day it looked like someone were boycotting the Apple stand on purpose, you will see the Ipad3s with the zoom enabled and other accessibility options enabled, and a stupid ugly customer face as background. It was hard to use the machine at all, and it was energy depleting.

Then I went to an Apple store, wow!, what a difference just adding useful apps and Internet. It seems only natural but it has been carefully orchestrated.

And quite frankly, if you're worried about possibly having a kid in school pictured with a school dinner because a paedophile might get off on it, I can only imagine that you must be absolute panic over all the advertisements for family holidays in Butlins and such....
I know, to allay your fears, perhaps we should keep all children locked up in darkened rooms and let nobody see them until they reach the age of 18, that should keep them safe I guess (unless of course the parents decide to abuse them, oopps)

The fact is, paedophiles are the problem, and photos of kids are not the cause of their paedophilia, they're just very sick people, and whether there are photos on the web or not won't change them or what they do

The culture issue that pcrh mentioned is what I was referring to. It's not that Scottish seed investors don't ask about projections, it's that if you're a Scottish startup and what to apply for YC, you have to be thinking about much bigger numbers and get into that mindset of "go-getting, I'm gonna win, we've got the numbers" that pcrh mentioned.

Eitherway, thanks for the discussions and comments. I've emailed you a quick question :)
Evènement à Paris : prêt pour le Diner en blanc de ce soir?

In my personal experience, the combination of sensory abilities, a brain and the motor skills required to take notes with a pencil on paper works alright sometimes.

YMMV however.
About the tip #6, 6. If you are not educated, find someone who is: I would rather find a partner that has experience in the field, that is, someone that has tried (successfully or not) to set a startup going off the ground. That type of experience is, IMO, more valuable than having a partner that studied in a really good college.

I want to think that investors have the same opinion.
Like much general-purpose advice, it's only good on average, but damaging for those more than a standard deviation away from the average in either direction. Parroting doesn't work on me, and it doesn't work on several people I've tried it on. (Other times for other people it does work, though. If you've tried it and it does, I guess keep doing it, if you've tried it and it doesn't, stop.) For kids, I observe kids from the same parents in the same household and city grow up to be completely different, and so what techniques might have worked on one child to accomplish a goal would fail for another child. I was pleased when I listened to Feynman describe this experience with his own children in one of his videos. Anyway, if I had a child I'd try this technique and see if it works or not and decide from that whether to keep using it.

The technique has been known about for a long time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_listening regrettably doesn't include a history section), and I see the old related gender joke of "women just want to hear their own opinion in a deeper voice" reoccurring in the comments here. My favorite relatively recent comedic take on the technique is from an episode of Malcolm in the Middle, S02E15:

Malcolm: Mum, I have a problem, I need to talk.
Lois: Good, you can talk, and I will listen.
Malcolm: This football player wants to use an essay I wrote for his college
application and pretend it's his own. I know it's dishonest, but I
might be making too much of it. I wanted to get your advice.
Lois: You're hoping I can help you.
Malcolm: Yeah, I just said that. So, I don't think he should get into college
under false pretenses. But are they really false pretenses if nobody
thinks he's smart anyway? I don't want to be a part of his cheating,
but also don't want to take away his shot at going to college.
I just don't know what to do.
Lois: You're uncertain what action to take.
Malcolm: Yes. Why are you talking like a robot?
Lois: You want to know why I'm talking like a robot.
Malcolm: I have a problem and I need your help! All you're doing
is mindlessly parroting back what I say.
Lois: You say one thing, and I restate it.
Malcolm: Forget it, if you're not going to help me, you don't have to mock me!
(gets up and leaves the room)
Lois: (calling too late) We did not come from a family of criminals, you
do not let him turn in that essay! Oh god, I knew listening to our
kids would be a mistake.
That's right. Thanks for pointing out.

However if I were to play smart I'd say I didn't have any argument and was just refuting my parent's :)
Yammer is a way for mid-sized businesses to make themselves feel cool while undermining their internal data security; in the wrong hands it can undo all the work of a whole world of corporate controls and make company data subject to tampering by anybody's close friend or casual acquaintance.

Having been exposed to 4 different Yammer networks, I can see why most dp pros find it a gross interference with their job and not worthy of inclusion in any real plan for internal communication.
Show HN: Keys, Mac app for learning typing
Over the last couple of months I have designed and written Keys, a Mac application the helps learning typing and that is supposed to meet Mac users standards for a well-designed application.

My goal is to become a micro-ISV or indie developer. The app is only in the Mac app store for now (no trial yet), since end of May, and I have been busy putting together a website and a personal blog since.

I would be very interested what the HN community thinks about the application, how you like it, and how it is presented, from a business angle. Prior to this project, I have done much more work on server side software without any UI so design and marketing aspects are new to me and advice is very welcome.

The simplest form is what happens in games like Mafia wars. The standard tecnhiques are to introduce sinks everywhere and to inflate prices in an illogical way (e.g. the price of buying n+1 weapons is larger than the price for n). This is a weird form of "personalized inflation" but it seems to stabilize the game.
One cool thing is that even the map linked in the post was auto-generated by a player's program, and populated I believe by API data. The color hulls/bubbles are all algorithmically drawn, and this was done back in '06 or so before the popularization of visualisation libraries. That's the level of innovation made possible by open APIs and a very dedicated and skilled playerbase (average age is apparently way above 20, unlike virtually every other MMO).
