I was using hyperbole to illustrate how a piece of equipment that's good at its nominal job could still be a disastrous choice.

You say the BB9900 has a good browser experience. Pulling it up, I see the typical BB form factor with a half-sized screen and a keyboard. I don't care how objectively good that is, it doesn't match what Yahoo's users are using.

Beyond the browsing experience, apps are becoming more important all the time, and approximately nobody is building BB apps. Anybody at Yahoo using a BB phone, no matter how good or how recent, will get a deeply skewed view of what their users actually experience and expect.

Definitely curious as to how drug use has gone down, and I am assuming the incidence rate of aids/HIV has gome down.

The last point seems to suggest that a stigma has been removed from getting help, so that great news too.
I agree, but a hack can help temporarily when you're training your muscle memory.

Also, musical instruments are more consistent than computer keyboards. I play saxophone, and it's easier for me to move back and forth between soprano and tenor sax than to move between desktop and laptop keyboards.

Not talking about MU or anyone/anything else in particular, but...

If you run a criminal enterprise that does the majority of its business in the US, and you live overseas you can (and should be) subjugated to US laws.

Even for non-criminal enterprises, you don't get to play around with another country, breaking its laws. Why should a criminal enterprise be treated differently?
> Nor does a guitar player need to look at the strings he's picking or fingering.

When playing the guitar, you can't see what your left (on the fretboard) and right (with the pick) hand are doing at the same time so muscle memory is the only viable option.

Similarly, you can't really see what your hands are doing on the keyboard and what is actually being typed on the screen so you have to pick one to choose. Looking at the screen is the obvious choice, but for typing practice you might actually want to look at your keyboard.

I learned more ergonomic touch typing using two tricks. The first one was to train using the Dvorak keyboard layout, although I don't use it normally. It just made me hold my hands in the right place on the keyboard. The second was getting a blank keyboard with no inscriptions on the keys and look at the keyboard, not the screen when typing.
Committing Sensitive Data
Qt (especially Qt 5) is one of the most portable toolkits out there, its almost like Webkit in that respect. Lot of excellent work has been done in Qt 5 (and Qt 4.8) to make it easy to port to any platform with minimal dependencies. It already works on Windows (albeit Win32, not WinRT), Linux (X11, Wayland as well as almost pure Qt), OSX, QNX.

Sure, it is still not a one-click task, but that can never be the case. I think Qt has a bright future simply because it is essentially unkillable at this point. (Open-source licensing, open governance already in place, highly portable).

If you're a Vim user, you might want to make your caps lock an additional escape instead. It works like a charm and I've never looked back. Although sometimes I accidentally write in ALL CAPS when I'm on someone else's keyboard.
For anyone using Komodo, it has a similar feature that allows two people to have the same file open for editing at the same time. It works across servers (using smb) pretty well, but that probably depends on your network speed.

Local colleges have students willing to work on something for free as an internship (for college credit) that will help them hone their skills or give them experience. You might sort through several students to find the one with enough skills to hold their own in executing an idea, but there are definitely several diamonds in the rough there.

Some universities have classes that need real projects to work on too. If you get into a community college, there is probably a shortage of real projects for them to tackle while at a large university there will likely be a long waiting queue unless your idea is so above par (or you're famous or cool to work with) that a professor or dean moves it to the top of the queue.

I was just going to post something similar. It's jaw-dropping to see the kinds of retorts that kirillzubovsky is giving. Even if the original comments are snarky in their own right, to quip back with "Maybe you could get lost", and "A little jealous, perhaps?", is absolutely brand killing not to mention disrespectful. If I were a mobile developer I would not want to be associated with this startup in any capacity.

Machine Learning and Education - A conversation with 2 developers
Very simple: Make it prescription based, perhaps even limit consumption to controlled clinics. To qualify for a prescription, you will need to be addicted (or something to that effect, IANA medical professional). As "repeat customers" disappear, the incentive to get people hooked disappear, and the current economic model collapses.

This will take care of the addicts and most of the dangerous drug related crime. There will still be a market to service casual users (ie. rich bankers) which will have to be addressed in a different manner (perhaps not at all - if the market is small enough not to sustain large, dangerous cartels, it will allow the affected countries to get on their feet and establish proper rule of law which is the primary goal).

I don't think you will get an acceptable answer on here. Especially without giving details of your product.

That being said, the only way you can know for sure is to test it with real customers (your target customers). Invalidate your assumptions!

First determine what an acceptable conversion rate is. Then I would start with a comprehensive feature tour and good copy. Show the customer how you are going to make their life easier. Drive everything through that page. Track your conversion rate. Even if your conversion rate is acceptable, offer a short trial - track your conversion rate. tweak, test, track...
I like how people turn this into a conspiracy against Romney.

I don't believe that it is; its just the normal madness on YouTube, where they ban, delete, restrict and plaster with ads anything resembling something in their huge database of copyrighted stuff.

Where they create smoke barriers using strong words around "DMCA", but when you want to make a counter claim, there was never any claim and YouTube did this all by themselves.
I understood mtgx's question to be based on practical grounds, not moral ones. But in answer to your question, I think of espionage as something akin to the military. Perhaps in an ideal world neither would be necessary, but unfortunately the world is not a utopia.

Thus, from a realistic standpoint, spying is sort of like doing market research for a startup. It allows you to make predictive decisions instead of reactive ones.

If it's worth that much to you, then you can go through a broker service like Sedo.com to get a bid in to the owner of the domain. Let them do the work of finding and contacting the owner.

I've used brokers several times and find it to be well worth their fees if they can make a deal happen. I believe Sedo charges $69USD, then 15% of the purchase price if they're successful.
Holy expensive, $230? I realize it's mechanical but that's still a lot of money. If the design is so superior why would there not be non-mechanical alternatives in the $50 range?

I would hope that reason and logic take precedent over existing belief. At least among the somewhat rational subset of individuals that tend to lurk in these corners.

Depends on what you mean by "belief"/ Some things that people refer to as "beliefs" are probably more properly called "principles". And if two people disagree on fundamental principles, it's hard for them to reach any sort of agreement, even if they both use rational reasoning and logic. They're starting from different places, and trying to go to a different place, and overlap may be rare.

Take, for example, somebody with a utilitarian "what matters most is the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people" view, vs. an individualist anarchist whose fundamental principle is "no one should use force or fraud to force someone to do something against their will."

On many issues, those two people just aren't going to be able to agree on much, even if they both use logically sound arguments.

Also, on a different note, there is research out there (I don't have citations at my fingertips, sorry) suggesting that it's pretty rare for people to change deeply held beliefs, even when confronted with overwhelming evidence. It seems to be a facet of human nature that we don't change beliefs very easily.

Or better yet, ditch your ORM and learn SQL.

ORMs are an antipattern. They save you a little time and effort up front, but when you inevitably need to do something that's not basic CRUD you end up wasting an immense amount of time fighting your tools.

Don't fight your tools, just write SQL.

Just to acquire something someone else likely obtained fair and square with his/her hard-earned money? Does a domain name have to show content to be "used" anyway, especially when there are other plausible uses for it like email, DNS server, etc.?

There are measures to handle domain squatting of trademarks. Beyond that, nothing much except maybe some people wanting to selfishly take things that don't belong to them, just because they can't seemingly have their way with those having what they covet.

If you have a long trial period it gives the user too much time to slack off using the product, then not convert at the end of the trial. If someone is paying they are more likely to use the product and thereby making it more valuable to them.

The 1 day thing was just a bad joke, but without knowing anything about your product it's hard to imagine giving 3 months for any trial.
I like this game. It's simple, easy to digest, and was a nice two minute diversion.
You're making extraordinary claims regarding the parallels with the Reichtag fire. I won't ask for extraordinary evidence, just reasonable evidence.

Evidence of what, exactly? Comparing 9/11 to the Reichstag fire is an analogy, and - to anyone familiar with the history of both - the analogy seems to fit. No, the outcome here hasn't (yet) been as dramatic as electing a Hitler and establishing a Nazi empire. But the generalized point of "dramatic event seen as attack on country is used to justify expansion of government power, new limitations on civil liberties, etc." seems to clearly be common to both situations, no?

This is worth a little more elaboration, I think. If you compile the iTerm2 version of tmux provided on the iTerm2 website (a merge of the fork into tmux proper is pending), then you can link iTerm2 natively to a tmux session.

This means that the iTerm2 window size is the tmux window size; tabs in iTerm2 are tabs in tmux. Horizontal and vertical window splits in iTerm2 are the same in tmux too. And all of this is bound to the GUI, so resizing/reordering panes with your mouse makes the proper modifications in tmux. And because this is a 1:1 mapping of functionality, others using the same native integration will see tabs and split panes get added and removed in real time, as someone on another machine does it.

It's still in early stages and definitely not bug-free, but this is absolutely the best multiplexing experience I've found. Unfortunately, because this is specifically for iTerm2 right now, it's not cross-platform.

OK, I haven't personally checked into every one these guys, but every time I've seen a list like this, when anyone has bothered to actually check credentials on the people listed, it's turned out that they were either specialists in totally unrelated fields with little knowledge of building construction and collapse, or they were "professors" at Devry Institute or University of Phoenix, or they were total quacks, or they specialized in building stick built wood-frame construction single-family homes, which have almost nothing in common with skyscrapers, etc., etc., etc.

OTOH, I was a firefighter for a decade or so in the 1990's, and we spent a lot of time studying building collapse, because collapsing buildings are one of the biggest threats to firefighter health & safety on the fireground... and everything I saw on TV on the morning of 9/11 was 100% consistent with what we were taught about how and why buildings collapse.

So color me extremely skeptical of any of this "9/11 conspiracy" stuff, at least as far as the details about the tower collapse.

Richard Clark (who had worked for Reagan, Bush Sr., and Clinton) had the right idea of small targeted attacks rather than a widespread military invasion. He even warned the WH about al Qaeda months prior to 9/11, but he got demoted and vilified under Bush's administration and supporters.

Using a song to parody something besides the song isn't fair use. If the song is used to parody the song itself or the artist, yes, but not to parody something completely unrelated. If that were the case, rappers could parody a police commissioner in a song which also happens to have samples George Clinton, and claim that because they were parodying the police commissioner the George Clinton sample is perfectly legit. Fair use just doesn't work like that.
