I think when they show it in every life situation (except on a funeral, maybe), it's safe to assume that the general idea is 'in life'.

If bugfixing those planes will be as rigidly pursued as with some open source software, maybe the phrase 'buying a ticket' gets a totally new meaning ;-)

When ruling against government 'trojan horses' infecting private computers, the German Constitutional Court used a similar idea, thereby extending the German contitution's equivalent of integrity of the home by introducing a

Additionally, 'not implemented in Germany' is not entirely correct. It was implemented by the Great Coalition a couple of years ago, then declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court shortly after. So all upcoming formula

Here's a good food idea: Don't eat sugar, any fruits which don't have a Greek or Hebrew name or any liquid which is less than 1,000 years old. (Taleb) ;-)

Using windows: Go to window, open, stick your nose out, and you know the weather. Look up to sky to predict weather for next half day.

> Lots of fonts have numerals that are the same size/location as the rest of the text. Actually there's not a 'rest of the text' that is homogenous, unless it's completely uppercase. In normal body copy it's a rhythm of ascending and de

It's a Sorkin quote, so of course it has bravado and ego. ;-)

It's actually not such a big hack - it just uses technology that is meant to be used for writing systems that have to put together characters as pieces, because there are so many of them, like many asian languages require :-)

The sound of the Bösendorfer is beautiful and really special, maybe they should sponsor more like that. I'd love to listen to some 19th century stuff on that piano, in particular. Check out Friedrich Gulda's 'Mozart Tapes' for more of it.

Wow, i watched the first video batch and think it's the best online course so far. Very in-depth, but at the same time incredibly well chosen examples. Initially I was sceptical because the videos seem to be taped lectures rather than the t

I love how the points 'Gatekeeper' and 'All-new features for China' so naturally are presented side-by-side. Why would anyone want to run an unsafe program like a tor client ? Ask your local gatekeeper.
