Check out intercom on github for inter-tab communication. I use it in we apps for many different things. Including log-back-in. One tab gets a session timeout and tells them all to go black asking for a password. Enter it in one tab and the

You comment made me laugh and 'ahhhhh!' at the same time. It now makes sense. He's totally into Apple and hasn't been elsewhere. A few of the things he talks about regarding the UI changes are already on Windows, but he

That it's a one-time deal sounds like a failure on Stellar's part.

It makes no sense to suggest he donate it to charity. He found a pile of people willing to sell him the goods at a price both they and he were happy with. If something like Stellar is to succeed you can't put limits on the free market

Surely it's not hard to solve this one? Buy the site. Acquisition style. Now they keep the community, the fan base, the long tail, and the passionate founder. He gets to work on it full time and they get rid of other peoples ads.

I always wanted to be a lumberjack. Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia. The Giant Redwood. The Larch. The Fir! The mighty Scots Pine! But they can't find any mentors matching my search.

TL;DR: To save y'all from listening to the (interesting) Planet Money podcast: Back in the early C20 depression the auto makers were the biggest companies in the USA. And they'd force the franchisees to purchase cars or lose their

So Mall Backup Co takes two copies immediately. One on their local node and one that gets shipped back to base. As soon as you get home you can access your backup (transparently) from the mall node. Then when the drive gets back to base it

I'd go further. The jury must convict on all presented charges or none. Throwing 900 charges at someone, as the article says, is a way to force a plea bargain from someone who may well be innocent. (And removing a charge after failin

I think the author has a point .. however we're all conditioned now to the standard-ish font size on the web. We all sit at a distance from the screen optimised for a particular size - and as most sites are about the same we zoom in or

I'm surprised Disney didn't throw all their weight behind the Doyle estate here. Under this precedent, all attributes of Mickey Mouse created in 1928 (his first appearance) appear to become public domain in 4 years time, giving yo
