with that said, I'm not sure I would use them - slight change in texture of the key would bother me.
The Cydia Store is also a much smaller community, which means that your new application is almost guaranteed to be noticed if it brings something cool to the table.

Very neat. The only concern I have is to remember take a photo of all the pages and which page I already took a photo.

I think individual human beings have inherent moral value, but "society" and the state do not. Contrary to your assertions, this does not entail that there should be no enforced fire codes. Enforced fire codes have proven to be a relatively inexpensive and highly effective way to preserve large numbers of individual human beings from horrible deaths. Even when they illuminate their Christmas trees with candles.

Two-finger scrolling works great, but I've never had any success configuring three-finger gestures under X11 (on this laptop or any other). I used to be an aggressive user of those same gestures when I used OSX, but frankly around the Lion timeframe they started getting in my way more often than not.

Right, but since Twitter manages all of Twitter's servers (and the dedicated low-latency network via which they're presumably all connected) they can satisfy both of these constraints without sacrificing the third (immediacy). I'm speculating here, but I think that's why it takes a few seconds to post a tweet: it's propagating across the internal federation so that all the nodes have it before it "goes live."

A real keyboard, with real touch and real keys

I normally would agree with this, but in reality, when I'm at home or in the office (ie most of my computer use time), I use a DAS keyboard anyway and even the "real key" laptop keyboards just don't compare to mechanical cherry-mx keys anyway, so for the times I use my laptops when I'm away, I don't think it really matters to me if the keyboard has real keys or if its a chiclet keyboard or whatnot.
I downvoted because the OP is drawing conclusion from a ridiculously small sample size (1). This is equivalent to saying you're never buying a Seagate hard drive again, because once, one failed 5 years ago.

I'm not entirely convinced that being a "Macbook Air killer" is even that important of a goal. It proves that you can do it & there's a bit of a halo effect but I've not seen enough people using MBAs to think that it's really a major market segment to chase.

Except it seems that the dot pattern for Evernote would have to be much larger. I'm a heavy user of Livescribe pens, which are built on Anoto's paper, but the dots are so small that it takes a very close look to even see them. In this case, the dots have to be large enough to be seen by the application when using a cell phone camera.
I think this is about the creativity not technical prowess. A delayed video is nothing new, use it to send a message about drink and drive is.
To be specific, your tweet is not timestamped when you send it. It only gets an "official" timestamp when twitter decides to give it one, after receiving it. That means Twitter arbitrarily sets the timestamp whenever they get around to shoving it on top of your feed. So they do have the problem of tweets arriving out of order (due to network latency etc), they just hide it by rewriting timestamps!

eta: I admit this is a smaller problem for a centralized service than a federated one, but I would argue that it can work "well enough".
Yeah, I'm still holding out on snow leopard. I don't really have a replacement option that I'd be completely comfortable with yet, although the linux ultrabooks seem to be getting pretty close these days.
logout is not idempotent. If you send a log-out request, the system will log you out. All subsequent attempts will do nothing.

Therefore the results are different for different states and it is not idempotent.
You're assumiung a "well designed architecture" - and you're assuming that "well designed" maps to "perfectly horizontally scalable". Neither assumption need hold.

In my opinion, this is an unfortunate side effect of the "growth at all costs" economic policy of China. Money becomes the only thing that matters -- IP, the environment, even the health of citizens is second-class. As China further develops, we will hopefully see attitudes change. I don't believe you see this level of theft/piracy in more mature economies like Singapore or Taiwan (not China, but similar in that they are ethnically majority Chinese).

Comparing theft of a product with the intent of resale to theft of a product with the intent of personal consumption is disingenuous.

Stealing something to resell it for a profit is rightly a much worse transgression than stealing it for personal use, as you're only denying a single potential sale (your own) as opposed to actually stealing multiple REAL sales and keeping all the profit.

Also a "Proxy Item" is always subject to capital gains tax and sales tax. Otherwise it would be money. This is the only thing really preventing competing currencies. In fact, Ron Paul has worked on getting this restriction repealed in the case of gold and silver: http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul434.html

"The final step to ensuring competing currencies is to eliminate capital gains and sales taxes on gold and silver coins. Under current federal law, coins are considered collectibles, and are liable for capital gains taxes. Short-term capital gains rates are at income tax levels, up to 35 percent, while long-term capital gains taxes are assessed at the collectibles rate of 28 percent. Furthermore, these taxes actually tax monetary debasement. As the dollar weakens, the nominal dollar value of gold increases. The purchasing power of gold may remain relatively constant, but as the nominal dollar value increases, the federal government considers this an increase in wealth, and taxes accordingly. Thus, the more the dollar is debased, the more capital gains taxes must be paid on holdings of gold and other precious metals.

Just as pernicious are the sales and use taxes which are assessed on gold and silver at the state level in many states. Imagine having to pay sales tax at the bank every time you change a $10 bill for a roll of quarters to do laundry. Inflation is a pernicious tax on the value of money, but even the official numbers, which are massaged downwards, are only on the order of 4% per year. Sales taxes in many states can take away 8% or more on every single transaction in which consumers wish to convert their Federal Reserve Notes into gold or silver."

I don't think you quite understand the definition of idempotent. A process is idempotent is if the process can be applied multiple times without changing the result achieved from the first application.

In this case, logging out multiple times does not change anything from the first application.

The T60p's were absolutely fantastic machines. I used mine (got it early in 2007) fulltime until a couple of months ago when the fan died (for the second time. Made very loud grinding noises whenever it tried to spin up.) I still use it on occasion without the fan, making sure to suspend to ram as soon as I see the temperature go past 75C or so. I didn't bother fixing it this time since the price of a new fan/heatsink assembly and a new battery would have been more than the cheapest eeepc I could find on newegg, but I've wanted to get another thinkpad ever since.

You can see in the picture ( http://blog.evernote.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/moleskin... ) that the 'special' pattern is simply that all the lines are dotted (perhaps with ovals, or is that my imagination?). That's all that is needed, really, to find the skew of the paper.

I don't believe this has anything to do with the article, which is discussing the Mac App Store.
It's both possible and necessary. Think about it - even a centralized service like twitter or facebook will have many distributed & disparate services that need to work together to provide a feed. Hence, there probably already is some kind of federation going on, you just don't know it.

Thank you for the pointer. I modified the introduction to make it clear we run on Gitlab in the first sentence.

By the way, the Gitlab.io owner (me) is not the main developer of Gitlab (randx) https://github.com/randx
He is also mentioned in the 'Thanks to' section.

We state this clearly on gitlab.io, the first sentence in the section 'About the Gitlab project' is: "Gitlab is a separate project and is not affiliated with Gitlab.io."

Which Gitlab tagline are you referring to?

Ajax or no, disabling the submit button/event target is pretty trivial compared to the complexity of doing the rest of your app. Just disable the button when it's clicked, or add a disabled class to the link and a separate click event for it that stops propagation. Or even simpler, just hide it. And do it before it gets around to sending the request.
It looks like Evernote is just using the dots to help remove the skew caused by taking pictures of a curved page. Anoto, Livescribe, et al. use the dots to capture the handwriting as it is being written - so their dot patterns have to be unique across each page. The way Evernote is using the dots is much more akin to how Google de-warps the pages of books it scans.

So far, my experience with Evernote has been watching them make Skitch almost unusable. The app always forgets my Skitch credentials, keeps displaying the startup screen even when I check "Do not show this to me again", and tries to force me into an Evernote account. At one point they changed Skitch to display 10 different things I could do after an upload. They made it a real mess.

I assume Evernote's products are overly complicated, but I'd like to know if they just botched the Skitch acquisition. Does anybody have any insight into this?

As a young male who has yet to learn how to cook properly, good "paleo" meal/recipe suggestions would help me a lot. Keeping track like this and checking with more knowledgeable people how correctly I'm getting it has value.

I'm sure once I get into the swing of things I wouldn't need help - sticking to it is not the issue, this seems to make it simpler to get going. I approve.
This should be ideal for someone like me, but unfortunately I can't see myself using it. I have a shelf full of Moleskins (began buying them in 2005) and I was a premium Evernote user from 2009-2011. But I canceled my Evernote subscription because I never used the software - I really dislike their UI. The only thing that could bring me back to them is a UI redesign, to make it seem less like an email application and more like a file-sorting system, which is what it's supposed to be.

And the idea of taking pics of my notebook pages with my phone is too clunky.

However, I'll grant that this is why this doesn't work * for me * and express envy for those for whom it does work for, since "on paper" all of this seems like a great idea. Having notebook pages scanned and sortable would be wonderful.
