It will be an estimate. You want to do some voluntary offers over picking each guy if you can (because it is also an opportunity to get rid of demotivated/already checked out staff who you aren't aware of).

Some big decisions (close area/team X), some voluntary offers, some selections on individuals. Give a rough estimate of what it will mean, announce it along the big decisions, iterate to see what happens in the voluntary area and then do extra mandatory selection cuts if needed to hit your savings target.
Ditto. I'd be very interested in knowning the answer to this. Only I also use Eclipse a lot, rather than IntelliJ, so it's not so much Swing as SWT that is used. I know SWT wraps native GUI components. Does that mean that SWT will automatically benefit from the higher resolution graphics? I somehow doubt it but would be interested if someone could shed some light on it.
All the music nerds I've been hanging out with consider this a pretty obvious observation. So maybe it's a bit weird it hasn't shown up on the internet before.

But like a lot of other people in here have been saying: There's more to a song than the chord progression. We might as well have been talking about rhythm - the vast majority of Western music is in 4/4 time. Also, practically ALL Western music uses the 12-note system. Not pointing this at you, but it's annoying to hear all the people in this thread complain about how pop music sucks because it's all based on the same foundation. Practically all computer programs are in some way based on C. Does this mean that all computer programs suck?
> He'd probably learn A LOT more, somewhere else, working with other people, and where the company actually values him.

Most likely. I'm suggesting that until that happens, in preparation for that, he can learn as much as he can from what's in front of him; and do a good job too.
This all sounds nice and reasonable, until you realize that these companies have to pay people to actually make it work in a browser that's 10 years old. Their website is a product, and they can choose who to offer it to. This is like complaining that this android app won't work on your 10 year old dumbphone.

Yes, it sucks that some screen reading software depends on outdated browsers, but the fault lies at the manufacturers of that software, not every single website designer in the world. IE7 doesn't work, even for simple layouts, it doesn't work. Furthermore, it's insecure. Maybe they didn't want their customers accounts being compromised because they use an insecure browser, and then have to hire more people to take care of that person who lost their account becuase they're using software a decade old. I don't go into a store expecting to be able to still buy heroin as my cough medicine of choice, either.

Why should everyone have to pay money to make stuff work in outdated software because the screen reader company refuses to pay money to make their software work with anything but outdated software? Why make compromises and waste time when implementing a new feature because it might screw up the viewing experience in your decade old browser? Why support that browser at all, giving people the impression the site is broken, and not their browser?
Weight would be the only reason. The D3 is ruggedized literally for use in warzones and natural disasters.

The thing you must understand about the SLR market is that it is long-term. Nikon in particular are obsessed with backwards compatibility. You can buy an F-mount lens from the '50s, you won't get autofocus on it obv, but you can still take a picture. I have a bunch of excellent lenses bought for film Nikons back in the day - they will all work perfectly on the D600, and on whatever camera Nikon releases in 10, 20, 50 years time.

What you call a "DSLR lens" is really just a temporary thing. The past and the future is just "SLR lens".
I worked for Nokia briefly two years ago, and while they never seemed to know what to do with them, they really managed to attract very skilled people.
I'm failing to understand why you've posted this, when the explanation is right smack bang in the middle of the page you've linked:

We're sorry but this site is not accessible from the UK as it is part of our international service and is not funded by the licence fee. It is run commercially by BBC Worldwide, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the BBC, the profits made from it go back to BBC programme-makers to help fund great new BBC programmes. You can find out more about BBC Worldwide and its digital activities at www.bbcworldwide.com

On a technical interest note, I viewed the page first from my home here in Poland, then via my UK proxy using the same cookies. Both worked, but as soon as I switched to Incognito mode using the same UK proxy, I got the "go away" message. At a guess they're doing something with cookies to prevent repeated geo-up lookups.

The fun part is that when viewing using the UK proxy but with my "I'm a foreigner" cookies, adverts magically disappear from the page. Interesting mix of geo-ip tech they must be using :)

No, they usually get the KDM well in advance. The time limits that are burned into the KDM are not related to the delivery times of the KDM itself.
To give an example: On my home pc I have the snapshots of Opera running with hardware acceleration and WebGL enabled: No problems. A few minutes ago I've installed Opera 12 on my work pc and tried the same. Afterwards I couldn't start Opera anymore and had to reset the options in the config file (AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera\operaprefs.ini if anyone needs to do the same; EnableWebGL and HardwareAcceleration are the keys).
So: Yeah, it's still a bit buggy at the moment (probably hardware compability issues). I've already send my bug report, hope they fix it soon.
64-bit is not really useful for browsers with multi-process architecture like Chrome. It is very unlikely that a single tab will need 64-bit address space.
I suppose this is similar in principle to the Top Gear magazine.

It's not funded by the licence fee, but by revenue from the commercial arm of the organisation, BBC Worldwide. It's not as though those in the UK who pay the licence fee have a right to view the content free of charge.

Presumably the international version of the site is supported by advertising (as many other BBC online properties are), and someone decided it would be better to just block UK users' access to this content than to provide it to them with advertising, creating no end of confusion...
Why are interfaces useful
The UI is very very slick, saw them a few weeks back featured as one of the twitter bootstrap example apps. Reminds me of the warm fuzzy feeling I got when I first used Path.

I especially like the introduction flow for connecting accounts (fb, twitter) and the call to action to install the browser extension in the end.

kudos.
Text rendering looks horrific here on Linux, too!
My experience is that the only time a key unlocks the movie only 10 minutes prior to the screening is for previews. Usually the keys are valid for about a week.

BTW, the screen servers will show when a accepted KDM unlocks a feature and for how long it's valid. I have never seen a KDM that is accepted by the screen server and then "doesn't work".
I don't understand... this site is available for everyone EXCEPT people in the UK? And their explanation makes sense to you?
When I used to play Counter Strike (and more recently Halo), I would sometimes be the second-best player on my team - the best player being an order of magnitude better than me. In essence, I would get a low score until my team-mate left, due to him hogging all the kills.

As soon as that guy left, I would be able to play and would appear to get much better. This would lead to me being called a cheater, on the grounds of "you weren't that good just five minutes ago".
> I've learnt that sadistic, manipulative and narcissistic people thrive in such environments and if left uncontrolled, alike to a malign tumor that spreads rapidly to other parts of the body, they can impact the entire organization quickly.

Aye. The phrase "One bad apple (spoils the bunch)" is often misunderstood but applies dreadfully well to human organizations.
Same issue here, but I have the desktop version and touch events sounds like something which will only work on a tablet/smartphone.

Edit: I've checked the w3 page - it is indeed for touch-enabled devices. Did you test it on a tablet/smartphone?
How do you determine GDP is growing, when the official inflation is much below 25%? Wouldn't you need for real GDP growth subtract the real inflation number? Is GDP growth above (25%-Gov Number)?
If I'm not mistaken, "touch events" is a feature for tablets or mobiles. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Touch_events
It will probably not be included soon for the desktop version of Opera.
I'm pretty sure the BBC aren't allowed to make a profit from ads from UK viewers.

Pretty much. What do you need?
This syntax is clearly preferable, but I think you knew that or you wouldn't have written it :)

I'm guessing the justification for the existence of the awkward var(varname) version is so that you can also have the parent-var(varname) notation.

I do think it's interesting how variables are scoped to dom nodes. Is there any reason it cannot be optional though, so if you omit it, it defaults to global?

$header-color: #06c; h1 { background-color: $header-color; }

I'm guessing the argument against, is that this requires too much of a change to CSS parsers, as it doesn't follow the standard form of <selector> { <properties> }. If that's really the reason it seems a bit of a shame though :/
I cant remember how that works but I suspect the RTC is in the FIPS can and that it takes effort to set it. They wouldn't go to all that effort to put times in the KDM if someone could just bypass it by setting the system date. It's a pretty well thought out system.
Ah, that's what he did all the time while the rest of us was partying and drinking! :-)
I posted it because the explanation given makes absolutely no sense. The fact that it is not funded by the licence fee is not an explanation. It might be a reason to show adverts on the page, but it is not a reason to restrict access. I find it ridiculous that a wholly owned subsidiary of the British Broadcasting Corporation is producing content that can be accessed from any country but Britain, regardless of how it is funded.
F*cking investors will only work for some time.
I've been using old Pentax lenses on my NEX-3. It's pretty cool, as you can get a very good, very bright F1.7 50mm Pentax lens from the 80s for well under 100 EUR. And it's fun to combine 30+ year old tech with very recent digital tech, I don't get to do that all that often. The lack of autofocus is annoying, though -- manually focusing on a NEX is much more annoying than on an old Pentax --, and a lens designed for the NEX could be quite a bit smaller.

Reeder 3.0 for iPhone is out, now supports Fever
I extensively test my webs manually on basically all relevant browsers, up to few old versions, and on different OS' and devices.

My conclusion is that Chrome on Windows 7 is by far the most 'snappy' and Firefox on any OS most 'dev friendly' (even though Chrome is coming along that way very nicely).

That being said, Opera on mobile is very fine, but I still prefer using whatever stock browser is on particular device. Everything else is a little buggy.

What I found lacking in any of the browsers is the developer friendliness on mobile devices. Anyone has any recommendations on that?

Nokia still has time to diversify (albeit not much). Every successful gadget company out their (apart from Apple, but they have IOS and MAC OS) like Samsung (windows phone, droids and some version of in house dumb phones), HTC (windows, droids) , ASUS (Windows, Droids) have diversified. Nokia's Elop is betting 122000 jobs on an OS which has 1.5 % market-share. I get that they need to make Windows Phone flagship due to investment from Microsoft but they should still think about making Android devices. I am sure with Nokia's build quality, innovation (they really own some cool technology) and Android ecosystem they will give Samsung a good run for its money and will sold far more phones then Lumia with lesser marketing cost. People who use Nokia love it for its build quality.They make good phones. Wish they don't melt away because of management politics.

Indeed, I have a bunch of nice Nikon lenses that I bought with an Nikon F100, when I got a Nikon digital camera with a DX sensor I was a bit sick that my wide angle zoom (18-35) becomes an roughly an oversized 28-50 equivalent. Although the boost in length of longer lenses is actually quite nice...

Never quite been able to justify a full-frame sensor camera for my pictures of cats, kids and soggy mountainsides - but if this new camera is a "reasonable" price I might go for it just to get the joy of 18mm back again.
Meetup.com celebrates 10 years this month, why its time for something new.
Being from the UK the explanation is perfectly clear to me. The BBC is Mussolini's vision of the corporatist state distilled to its basic essence. He is perfectly correct to post this. Why are people forced to fund private business ? How can this generate an optimal structure of production ? If the demand was there for the product no 'force funding' would be required and thus we would be sure that scarce resources were being put to their best, wealth creating, use. It is immoral to send people to jail for watching unencrypted tv streams. Just as it is wrong to send people a product they didn't want and then bill them when they use it. It is even worse to do this then recycle the cash into a foreign business then use profits from that business to prop up the main racket !
Does this mean Nokia is falling apart?

I guess that mean that Microsoft's strategy (implemented with that Trojan horse guy) of "don't let them do Android even if it means destroying them" is working in a way.

Then again, Nokia were the guys who popularized the paradigm of "make phones that destroy themselves if they detect non-original accessories" and they are Microsoft front now (and thus on the other side of War on general purpose computers than me), so I'm not really sad to see them leave, should that be what's actually going on.

I work for the BBC and can confirm this.

The content on /future is generated and created by BBC Worldwide and thus, unavailable to the UK because of this...

They can't show adverts on this page and allow people from the UK to see it because this would cause confusion and make people wonder where their licence fee is going.
I know you now dud.
It's not similar because folks in the UK can still buy the Top Gear magazine. They can't access it for free, but they can pay for it, because it's not funded by their licence fee.

This is not funded by the licence fee, but people in the UK cannot access it at all. They don't have the option to pay for it if they want to consume it.

A better solution would be to make these pages accessible from the UK but serve adverts and have a persistent alert bar at the top which explains why it is served with adverts.

I'm guessing that they're more keen on avoiding the tabloid headlines ("The BBC is dead: serves adverts on website for first time") than providing the content.
A professional/habitual troll will know about hellbanning, and techniques like your "open in incognito window". Making it hard to know than you're hellbanned hurts innocents who were misidentified far more than it hurts actual spammers.
I posted it because the explanation given makes absolutely no sense.

Well that's a different question to the one in the post title ;-)

The fact that it is not funded by the licence fee is not an explanation... I find it ridiculous

It is an explanation, albeit one that you don't like. Fair enough. My worry is that people will kick up a huge fuss over this when, frankly, it's a storm in a teacup.

I think it's a cool idea. It could be really useful for some things I do. I'm glad to know about it.

I have no freaking idea what you mean when you say "The github for links" - and the people I'd want to use this with will never have heard of github.
Its seems exactly like prison. You have jails to separate criminals from the general population.

However people who go to jail tend to come out more dangerous and knowledgeable than before.
> Disassembling is incompatible with clean room reverse
> engineering

Not necessarily. The idea behind clean room development is that one part of the team uses whatever legal techniques they want to analyse software, and document everything they discover. The documents are checked to make sure they don't contain any copyrightable information from the original (if information is not copyrightable, the methods used to obtain that information, be it decompiling or analysis of behaviour don't matter). A different team, who hasn't seen the original software at all, work off the document that doesn't contain any copyrightable information from the original.
It's absolutely not an explanation as far as I'm concerned.

BBC Worldwide does operate in the UK, it sells DVDs, magazines, etc, so there seems no reason to lock UK users out of a specific website just "because" - the explanation they give does nothing to expand on the "because" element.
Its not that he doesn't like the explanation. Its that he doesn't understand the explanation because it doesn't make any sense.

And I don't understand it either.

The post says nothing about drive or battery, the iFixit teardown does confirm the battery can't be replaced (it's now glued in — where the old one was screwed to the case — the teardown guys didn't dare removing it after trying a bit) so there's that.

On the other hand, the SSD is most definitely replaceable, it's the same system as in the Macbook Air (though apparently not the exact same drive): http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook-Pro-with-Retina-Displ...
I really like Opera. I've used it for months, but every time i just come back to Firefox.
One big problem (for me) it's their release cycle. I know that many people hate the fast releases of Firefox and Chrome, but this way i get new features sooner than Opera.
Another problem are addons. I'm an heavy Scriptish/Stylish user, and there aren't equivalents for those in Opera. I know that i can enable the userscript folder and copy scripts here, but I'm honestly too lazy to do it, and loading CSS through javascript is just not fast enough.
Then there are the nitpicks. For example, on Firefox/Chrome "right click > search on google" open a new tab, on Opera it load Google in the current tab. Or, on Firefox/Chrome middle-clicking on the back button open the previous page in a new tab. On Opera this just doesn't work (at least, until Opera 11.64 - I haven't tried Opera 12 yet).
And Opera is not opensource. While it's not a so big deal for me, i prefer to use opensource applications when i can.

There are also features that i would love to see on Firefox. Tab Stacking is awesome, way better than Panorama. I really like also how Opera put the tab bar on the left, I find it better than Tree Style Tab.

I'll try the new version later, but i doubt that the new features will be worth a switch for me.
A programmer having this mindset is reminds me of Turing Completeness.

Once you reach a certain point as a programmer, you feel like you could do anything in the space of things that is possible to do. It just takes an unbounded amount of time. Anything you don't know you could learn given sufficient motivation to do so.

It may not actually be true however.
What is Canon doing in this market segment?
They soon will. In the UK there are two versions of the BBC. The main one charges a 'licence fee' if you own a tv and another one called 'channel 4'. Channel 4 is part funded out of general taxation and part funded by ads. They will soon be forced to merge because the internet is bringing the licence fee racket to an end. The BBC is desperately trying to work out a way to tax ISPs !
That still makes absolutely no sense.

The BBC use location services to show adverts on the BBC news website, they could equally use the same services to not show adverts on this site.

It's just plain shoddy thinking.
