Not sure this directly answers your question, but: CSS (div-based) designs can be responsive in the sense that if you have 3 columns they can get rearranged one under the other in a smaller screen (like phone). Tables can't do this - 3 columns are always 3 columns.

This is just the first reason I can think about right now.
Yes, gawker does have something to do with it. You said it is ok for them to post pictures of celebrity crotches, and it is horrible and disgusting for other people to post pictures of random people just standing around fully clothed in public, where tons of people can see them already. You were asked for clarification as to why you feel one is ok and the other isn't, and you just said "one is Lindsay Lohan". You still haven't explained why you think one is ok and the other is not, and your posts continue to try to drag things further and further from that question.
The last Chromebook (which I used as a Google Intern, so take with a pinch of salt) wasn't laggy at all. They're a lot better since Rev 1.
>(one that, ironically, Canonical forced on a userbase that was unsure about it).

You don't have to use Unity. I see Unity as a potential innovation driver but something I probably won't use for a long time. You will have to switch to an unfamiliar UI, but you get to decide which one it will be. And if you use Gnome or KDE, you will have a ton of control to make the UI bend to your will (assuming you don't mind banging your head against it for a few hours to get it configured just right).
When I visit the site from firefox I receive an SELinux notice. "SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/xulrunner-2/plugin-container from name_connect access on the tcp_socket" [for port 81]

1. Yes, if a user forgets how they logged in and use a different provider, we either log them in or prompt them to use the first provider, depending on if their account email has been verified.

2. We do normalize common fields. It's done server-side however so you won't see it in the gem.

3. Not screwed. :) You can export your passwords (we use bcrypt) and keep all your social accounts as well. Because at the end of the day we're just another OAuth provider, you're not tied to us as a provider.

Edit: my cofounder also responded. Go team! 😃
I think it would be interesting and worthwhile to study the effects of trolling on different personality types, to see if there's some kind of link between taking trolling to heart and some other factor. Say, a root cause for being offended. I believe it's upbringing and education, but I have no data on that. It's just a random guess.

I do know that there are millions of people who have no adverse reaction to being trolled. I also know that there are a lot of those people who also have low self esteem and very little confidence. I believe these people are people who understand what the Internet is, understand the psychology of Internet trolls. They know that it's a joke, or at worst they know that the troll is harmless. An annoyance at most. And they know they can do the same thing right back again.

The issue seems to be in when the two major subcultures online clash: the ones who know the Internet's darkest reaches and have an understanding of how awful the Internet can get, and the casual Internet users, the Facebookers/MySpacers/etc. It's like nudists strolling through The Vatican.
This is childish, I think Canonical should not go with this way of advertising ... like Samsung and others.

"What happens to the tokens when people pirate this app? Does it count towards their limit?"

Almost definitely.
CrunchBang looks very interesting. I'm surprised that I've never heard of it. I'm downloading a copy now.

Thanks for mentioning this.

I ran Verne for a bit in a vm and live cd, but the Ubuntu Software Center has a convenience factor for Humble Bundles and since it is being targeted by a lot of Linux adoption such as Steam I'm kind of platform locked to it now.

I still run Arch as my side distro for having a machine I'm prouder of. Upstart can suck it.
People were using tables as a way to control the layout of pages.
You are right. These people would probably be much happier if robots took their jobs.
An explanation of how this deal probably works:

Color had 41M in funding, of which $25M are left. That money goes back to investors. Apple threw in maybe $5M. That also goes to investors.

Apple interviews each employee and decides who stays and who goes. The value for Apple is that a team that works together well is more than the sum of the parts, but only if they keep the people who would fit well within Apple.

The people who stay usually receive a retention package which could be a mix of restricted stock units and cash, vests over three or four years, and is determined by:

- the experience and seniority of each person.

- the perceived value of each person to Apple.

Apple tries to gauge what it would take for the core of the team to stay long enough. Someone may need 500k over four years in addition to salary, someone else may need 2M. It's impossible to say what is being offered to each developer unless you're an insider.

For that reason nobody can know what the deal really costs to Apple, but it's definitely more than what investors get. Otherwise, the really valuable people would not go to Apple just for a paycheck.

Source: I've been involved in deals of this sort since the late 90s, mostly on the side of the acquirer.
Microsoft tried to compete in every technology market simultaneously - spreading the inhouse talent too thin becoming nothing to anyone.

The few really good products they had (SQL Server, OneNote etc.) got lost in the noise. Everything became unstable, clunky, complicated and inconsistent.

Most kids leaving school now think Xbox when they hear 'Microsoft' - not really the legacy Microsoft deserved.

(it could all have been solved by splitting the company up in to 4 - OS/tools, Gaming, Apps, Online Services and letting them compete in their own vertical spaces without having to do things the Microsoft way - SQL Server running on Linux, VS on OSX etc.)

Google haven't fallen in to that trap - they are not competing in every single market - when they do compete in a new market they don't dilute their existing product quality - and there is a cohesion to the product strategy.
The people that sold Google stock are probably the same ones who bought Facebook originally..
Why do Samsung & Google even pretend they'e not copying Apple's design?
Windows is Free [2007]
If you do double-spending in a short period of time (while it hasnt' propagated yet), won't both people claim you paid them? I think people's reputations for this sort of thing should be in the system and somehow managed as well.
If poor people can be fat, we need a different word for what people 100 years ago would have called "poor". Maybe "destitute" could serve this purpose?

In any case, if you're poor, your time is cheap. This doesn't jibe with the claim that the poor lack enough time to, say, cook healthy meals for themselves. Poor people 100 years ago were poorer than most poor people today, and yet they largely cooked for themselves—and they were much thinner.

What accounts for this change? My suspicion is that it's dependence without responsibility. A hundred years ago, private charities (which are accountable to their donors) were in a position to hold recipients of their largesse responsible for their actions. But such charities have now largely been displaced by government agencies. These agencies have been captured by special interest groups,† and charity has mutated into entitlements. As a result of receiving benefits without accountability, the poor have lost much of the knowledge needed to be self-sufficient, which motivates further intervention. It's the law of unintended consequences followed by iatrogenic escalation.

†These interest groups are not the poor themselves, but rather those who speak for the poor. I think it's no coincidence that the former tend to vote for the latter. Political patronage is one of the oldest plays in the book.

I'd guess you'll find the above narrative unconvincing, but I like how you think, so I thought it was worth a shot.
Sure. But when you start factoring in switching your OS UI after installing it... well, Windows 8 doesn't look so "painful" to the average consumer.
Exactly. It's also awkward because Windows 8 is really good. I have been running it for a month and will definitely upgrade when it comes out. I like Ubuntu and it definitely runs great under Windows 8's new hyper-v client so "avoid the pain of Windows 8" makes no sense to me.
That's why it's a weird future moment. We're living in an era where all the information in the world is so readily available that the market for devices that can display this information is hugely competitive.

This doesn't sound that terrible. One enters into a short put position when he believes that XYZ company is worth buying at $X, but not at the current price. So you open the short put position at the $X strike price and either collect the premium if the stock doesn't go down, or be assigned the shares at the price you think they're worth if the stock does go down. Assuming you did your research right, both are good positions to be in.

And remember: if a particular option you're selling has a really high premium, it's because the market expects the position to be risky.
Australia wins seat on UN Security Council
I doubt it. In fact, I think of the majority of the people I know if they were to try and download Tweetbot and couldn't, they'll be mad at Tweetbot.

Even if Tweetbot states something like "Twitter has limited the number of clients we can sell" they'll still think Tweetbot is stupid. But most of them won't think "I wonder if there is a way around this." And then head to some warez type solution.

Instead they'll look and see if there is an alternative, or more likely, just stick with Twitter's website.

I just don't buy the "This will drive people to pirated software" argument.
Are you nuts?

Ubuntu 12.04 is the best distribution of a Linux-based OS by such a huge margin that it's, as they say, not even funny. Even if I take into account the fact that many users seem to nurse a rather passionate dislike of Unity, I don't see how anyone can claim that Canonical is "botching, killing and burning" anything. Ubuntu is in the long term most definitely on a steady path of continuous improvement, and is currently at a level where the "it just works" factor is present in surprisingly huge amounts. (I am saying this from the perspective of both the desktop and the server versions - the server version is ridiculously hassle-free to run compared to what I am used to with supposedly superior "enterprise" distros the likes of RHEL and SLES.)

To be honest, your comment is so bizarre that I now wonder if it was supposed to be a wind-up.

You should probably know that most of the groups clavalle named - in particular, MensRights, /r/atheism, and probably MyLittlePony - are ones that the people behind the current campaign against Creepshots have specifically said they want to see banned next. (And the targetting of MensRights isn't specific to that community either. From what I can tell, any community that actually considers forcing unconsenting men to have sex to be a form of rape has the same problem.)

Great idea on using Exec - I hadn't thought of that. We've got Taskrabbit upstairs in our building so that's an option as well.
Yep, sorry it was missing from the start. Should be in the .zip now!
I'm a huge colourlovers fan, so I knew I had to check out your creative market. Congrats... the site looks great!

I just went to buy a font for use in an iPhone app, which in part allows for people to type messages in various fonts. All the fonts I liked had "simple" licenses that seemed to prevent that sort of usage.

Are you guys going to have more fonts with non-simple licenses, to be a bit more mobile-app dev friendly? If you were, I would buy hundreds of dollars worth of fonts from you! It is not easy to find great fonts with a mobile-friendly license.
AT&T maybe.

Is it pantheon terminal? How did you change the font? I installed oh-my-zsh, but agnoster did not work well.
Theyre all getting traction in certain niches, but 99 out of 100 companies are going to be very skeptical about using something like this and ill wager it will take years for that to change.

Looking at EC2 or a NoSQL solution in isolation maybe, but I know that if i suggested NoSQL database as a service to most of my customers for their production data I would be laughed out of the building.
Yes, I've had my phone number as SSID for the past three years and have yet to have anyone call it.

I think it'll need to hit a critical mass before it's useful. People don't expect SSID's to have useful information so they don't look for it there.
Maybe turn it into a SaaS API? Sort of like a XSS-filter but just for pronouns.
I still have a bad feeling about how the Mint team have been actively forking every GTK3 project Gnome has. Especially when they forked Nautilus into Nemo, I really feel like they should have gone with Thunar or Marlin. Maybe they should have also opted to try unifying under XFCE and fixing gtk3 to work with it instead of just forking Gnome Shell.

I dunno, I just feel like the direction of "fork everything even when alternatives with our same mindset exist" seem like a waste of effort.
I said nothing about “every person who works for Reddit”. Wikipedia says Reddit has 20 employees. I would sure hope that at least one of those employees doesn’t hold harassers as more worthy of privacy and protection than their targets. But that is the apparent position of the company as a whole based on the company’s actions.

Note that if you take my “okay/not okay” sentence that you half-quoted, and substitute “allowed on Reddit/not allowed on Reddit”, it is literally fact. I do not agree that going from “allowed on Reddit” to “okay” is dishonest. The company is aware of both the harassment and the doxxing, and they have chosen to allow the former but ban the latter, and having done so, they cannot claim neutrality.
Reddit’s ‘Doxtober’: A Tragedy in Five Acts
Much of the content uploaded or moderated by Michael Brutsch, aka Violentacrez was, by his own admission, pornographic. His images graced the pages of infamous subreddits like r/jailbait, which Brutsch tried to top with r/picsofdeadjailbait after the former was called out for being the worst subreddit on all of Reddit. In his heyday, Brutsch was involved in over 400 subreddits with questionable content.

The limited number of tokens argument for inflated price doesn't make sense for standalone apps. It is very much possible that people get their own developer tokens from twitter. Perhaps, you could provide a lower price tier for such cases.
Or wine bottlers can switch to synthetic cork (a synthetic bottle stopper) leaving natural cork to where it's needed most.
Nothing's stopping you, or anyone else, from forking it and making their own distro their own way.
Depression Defies the Rush to Find an Evolutionary Upside
Okay, I'll bite first.

A table for layout is semantically meaningless. If you view a webpage as vaguely structured data, then using a table for layout is akin to using a String to represent an enumerated value. Sure, you can do it and it will work, but you're diminishing our ability to reason about your data and access it with our tools.

If I'm working in a codebase and wanted to see where we're presenting tabular data to the user and we're using tables for layout, I now cannot know which kind of table I'm looking at: presentational or structured.

If a user is using a screenreader to access a site, the screenreader will see the table and read it line-by-line. In a presentational case, that means <tr> by <tr>. This is meaningless to a non-sighted person and lowers the usability of the site.

Tables don't respond to CSS as well as other block elements. Try setting the width or height of an individual cell in relation to the container. You'll likely end up using spanning columns or spanning rows or setting the width using table attributes. Now we're breaking the abstraction between HTML (structured data, our model) and CSS (presentation, our view). We're now scattering view-related semantics inside of our model.

Are those good enough reasons?
Self driving cars. Glass. Google Now. Maps. Plus all the internal innovation such as new database technologies, custom routers, computer science research, and other technology.

There are few places that compare to Google.
And you'd probably be much happier sorting corks 16 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Domino Multiplayer - Contests game
but can it on Surface/Windows RT? I haven't checked back in on that for a few months, but my understanding is that they still won't let you run JIT compiled code unless you're built into the system -- aka Internet Explorer 10 or the CLR.

Firefox and Chrome will have Metro versions on x86, but will have to interpret JavaScript under Windows RT, and V8 doesn't have an interpreted mode.
They have a limit over 100k (2x their current user base) IIRC, since they already have 100k+ users on Tweetbot.
Funnily enough I wonder if they would have gotten more flack if they had just auctioned off the 100,000 licenses and see what the market would handle? I suspect they may have gotten more than $20 each and there would be less complaining as it's a totally transparent process.
I was rather thinking about an over-cautious (or over-curious) cloud provider that would more or less accidentally make a persistent copy of TPB machine's RAM.
This is obviously quite an unlikely scenario, but still possible.
Well, considering Color's history, the promise of a steady paycheck for a few years might be enough for that team right now. And the $2 million could be signing bonuses for the engineers, which would be a decent chunk of one-time money.

Two obvious reasons come to mind (unsure if these guys solve either) -

1 - Scalability. It's nice to have instant scale up/down

2 - Complex deployment - Heroku has proven that if you can make it dead simple to use git and spin up tons of databases/third party software, people will pay for it.

Better yet, make sure you remove Unity altogether. I've been using Quantal since beta 1, and while Cinnamon wasn't so stable for me, Gnome 3.6 works smoothly.
Too bad the Surface currently for pre-order is ARM and thus runs Windows RT. An x86 version with Windows 8 should come later, but will likely be more expensive. Chrome won't run on RT unless it is in the Microsoft store.
I'm pretty sure Microsoft was the real innovator in the vaporware space. Google is just copying that strategy.
Crunchbang is pretty awesome on low-end systems, too.

I recently tried about 10 different "lightweight" distros on an old P3 with ~128 MB of RAM, and Crunchbang was the only one that ran ok and felt polished. (IIRC puppy linux was the only other one that ran fine, and it's just hideously ugly.)

My favorite distro was one that prominently mentioned that it could run on low end systems like mine. It turned out that the installer needed more RAM than the distro... I suggested to the developer that this be mentioned on the download page, and he seemed confused/offended! :(
On WinRT you can't. Microsoft won't let the JavaScript interpreter do JIT on it.

You misinderstood me. I'm not saying that people will be driven to pirated software. I'm saying that people will be driven to software written by pirates (so to speak).

There is a subtle distinction here.

I'm addressing the underground marketplaces where Tweetbot-like applications already flourish. These apps, quite often, don't use any API at all but instead rely on hidden browser windows and net.webclient interfaces to simulate browser actions.
"there actually aren't a lot of federal regulations that affect small businesses."

This is a seriously flawed statement. There are a rather large number, and worse, not one comprehensive list. It also matters what they classify you as. There is a current case where a airport is classified as a mining operation because they are going to sell the coal removed when they put in a new runway. Doing a kickstarter and buying materials from overseas, good luck. We ignore most of them up until the point we are made aware by a man with a badge or a lawyer.

Service host (was that the correct name?) crashes at least once a week. Service host suddenly takes 90%+ of cpu. Start bar hiding behind windows. Sleep randomly causes hibernate or reboot instead. Network doesn't work properly after resuming the system (take cable out, plug in again - works). System update hangs forever. Copy anything formatted + paste into outlook -> rarely causes whole machine to freeze for ~2min. Wifi direct popup shows up again after closing. Changing location of a network printer (same printer, just moved) requires downloading its drivers again (ubuntu has them by default). Bluetooth just doesn't connect with Galaxy S2 (no problems under ubuntu). I could go on...

And that's a proper laptop with a clean system, part of an AD, running only outlook the whole day.

On the other hand ubuntu natty used at the same time as the main machine, usually handling heavy development, testing and a number of VMs didn't surprise me once.
