This probably explains Mozilla's target of reaching Firefox 7 by end of 2011. They just really like cake.

I usually use `that`. I've seen examples use `self`, but that could potentially conflict with `window.self` in the browser. var that = this; return function(){ that.fire(); }

To me checking a message is much more rude than checking the time. It's actively stating "I have more important people to talk to than you".

Have you looked into Sass and Less CSS? I haven't used them in production. They seem to achieve reuse in a CSS-like way.

In Auastralia the plan I've just moved to ( http://www.tpg.com.au/mobile/plans.html ) gives me enough calls, text and data for $15 a month without any lock in. I've been looking into US contracts in preperation for a move and was shocked at

I think both have their good points. Smaller companies allow more freedom and a wider range of experience. If you pick the wrong small company you'll pick up bad habits (what's version control? backups? testing?). I didn't have a software

It's also worth pointing out that Australians don't have constitutionally protected free speech.

Another issue is that your S3 credentials are stored on your primary server. An attacker who gains access to that machine will also gain access to off site backups, and can completely destroy your business.

(Cross-posted from my Reddit account) I went through SFO on the weekend and said I didn't want to go through the machine. You're made to feel pretty stigmatised, you have to stand there while the TSA officer repeatedly yells out "We got an

Opera Mini stores the page state on their servers. If you click on a JS link then the Opera Mini client treats it like a new page load, but the server is just executing the JS and resending the page.

We only use monospace because there is a lot of symmetry in code, and unlike other forms of writing, a single punctuation characters can completely change the meaning of the text (/.!^,;).

"I use method_missing()to remove duplication ... On the other hand, I usually think twice about using method_missing() for cosmetic reasons, like getting cool method names such as find_by_name_and_address()." That seems backwards to me. I u

Are you logging your queries? If you have enough searches you could build your own predictions. You're also proxying results, so you could use those to build an index too.

It would be nicer to see dates further in the future. The error message for exceeding the 4 month window is rubbish too: http://adioso.com/au/bne-to-dps-april-2011 . By putting scare quotes around "April" in the underlined text it look lik

That's almost what Google Docs PDF viewer does. Each page is a JPG. This is served to the user with a catalogue of text layout then JavaScript is used to simulate selection and copying.

Is there a reason to delete the branch? I don't think I've ever tried to delete a branch in subversion. I imagine it's possible, and can be reversed if necessary, but goes against my thinking of the repository as a canonical log of all deve

I think different 3D technologies could account for the in-ness and out-ness. Where you at the same cinema both times?

My favourite are the dropdowns that place "popular" countries at the top. This means that if I scroll through the list then my country may or may not be where I expect it based on how the developer was feeling that day.

So lets weigh up the options: A) Let non-US customers enter whatever billing information they want. Accept that a small percentage will fail when we try and charge the credit card. Everyone else is happy and we make more money. B) Explicitl

"So why not make two forms". Exactly. Have a US form. If the customer selects a non-US country then switch out the state for a freeform "state/territory" field and skip the US-centric validation. All up you might need 10 lines of HTML and s

But he doesn't know even what conversion rates he could achieve because he chose to totally ignore non-US billing addresses. He's just assumed that it's not worth his effort. He's talking about a web-based product. There is no reason to req

My girlfriend has a 5530. It uses the same browser as shown in the video and doesn't have any of that stuttering. Best of all it cost £100 outright. It is a really solid little phone for what I paid for it. It even comes with a stylus tucke

Netbeans? There is a drop down of all open tabs, but that can't be filtered. There is also a window which shows open documents but for some unfathomable reason it can't be docked. The only navigation I can see for open projects is the tree

noidi's yotube link explains it pretty well. It searches the rest of the image for sections that are similar to the edges of the deleted area and extrapolates from there. I imagine for large deleted areas this would have to be done multiple

That's quite cool. That's some of the cleanest PHP I've seen. When I've tried to write long-running applications in PHP I always get memory leaks. How do you handle this in Kelpie?
