Also di.fm will play artist's shows (aka podcasts) at certain times on certain channels. It should be under the calendar tab. I have never subscribed to a streaming music service as I would rather purchase a song I like once and own i

I think Apple bought it and renamed it to Quartz Composer. I remember you could use it to make screen savers and could even write your own patches for it in Xcode.

I remember GameMaker from the 80s on the Apple ][e! Also had Adventure Construction Set by EA (before they went all sports-crazy): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_Construction_Set I also had a cracked copy of P

That's not to say they couldn't revert to their embrace, extend, and extinguish tactics of the 90s, even under future leadership. I feel that no big corporation should own GitHub, even if their investors feel differently.

Couldn't sit through the whole thing. I just don't buy Mark Wahlberg as Max Payne. He's a little too clean-shaven in that movie. Was he at least using pain killers to fight past his injuries?

I don't want that story to be ruined by directors/producers/writers taking creative liberties. Some things just shouldn't be live-action movies. Look at all the anime movie failures. They were perfectly fine in their o

Not just video game movies, but also movies based on books about video games. Having read Ready Player One and then seeing the movie, it's like they didn't even try to capture what made the book successful. The book had clues tha

Would love to see this for notable programmers. Don't know if the data is available for their wake-up times. Would also love to see how many of these writers/programmers took naps during the day, at what time, and for how long.

No. What makes it so enjoyable is that it doesn't happen every day. That makes it a special occasion. It means that when you meet your co-workers in person, the quality of the interaction is most likely higher than if you saw them 5 time

I came up with the same idea a while ago, except I would fit dinner in either after work/before bed or after waking up/before the day job. I never got to try it out though, because when you live with others who are on a regular sleep sched

Yes. The Tower of Terror. The bad luck eye of the little yellow god. The custard mite episode. That show was always funny. My first real taste of British humor.

What, no love for Goof Troop, or Histeria? No, that was when you could tell they were out of ideas. But seriously, does anyone remember Freakazoid? I only saw a few episodes, but I remember it being very funny.

Loved Dexter's Laboratory. I missed most of Samurai Jack, but what I did see was good. Adult Swim is currently showing Sym-Bionic Titan on Saturdays at 2am (so that would technically be Sunday at 2am). It's pretty good too.

I was a Duck Tales junkie but my love of good cartoons goes before that. I was raised on Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry, before they were censored and rehashed multiple times. I remember religiously watching Danger Mouse, Bananaman, and

Great job! Can you speak (or maybe a blog post would be better) about how you put this together? What did you have to do get/massage the data? What tech did you use, etc? It's nice to see stuff like this coming out of Philly.

Hollywood, please don't ever try to make live-action remakes of anime. Why can't they just show the anime itself? It was already good. I highly recommend watching Death Note in its original anime form (preferably in Japanese with English

What if I was on GitHub, looking at the kind of software the boss doesn't see the importance in using/writing? Sometimes, "goofing off" is actually your employee preparing for a future job at a different company. Maybe even his/her own.

I wish there was an opposite post entitled "Things Employees Wish They Could Tell Bosses," but it would probably just be misconstrued as whining. Sometimes, whining is a good thing. It brings real, honest feelings to the surface. Of cours

Wouldn't u.getA() and u.getB() still be evaluated first so that their values can be passed to the debug method? Without the if statement, how is the debug method not being called?

Or Robert Loggia. I hope they never remake that movie.

Here's a simple fix: You currently have the games as <home team> vs <away team>, it would be clearer if it were <away team> at <home team> (with the time zone indicated, preferably eastern time).

Isn't the browser a native app on every platform? So obviously a native app can do all the things that you say it can't do. Could this discussion not degenerate into FUD and mudslinging, please?

True. I just hope the day doesn't come when you can't run non-App Store signed binaries. That would be a dark day for users.

You don't think it has anything to do with Sandboxing requirements in the App Store and Mountain Lion having an option not to allow non-App Store applications? I'm seriously asking, not trying to start a flame war here.

Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the benefits. It's true, some jobs are soul-crushing enough that you'd rather not be there. You might have family and/or financial responsibilities that make you have to keep such a job. Y
