you know, there was a great post about how badly twitter went downhill with some simple scrolling issues.
ah, here it is: http://ejohn.org/blog/learning-from-twitter/
please, slashdot, learn from twitter. please?
Couple that with Microsoft's heavy-handed treatment of developers of late (C# only for Windows Phone 7)
i love to demonize microsoft as much as the next guy, but
not to mention that Android development tends to be Java based, and iOS development until very recently was ObjC only.
wondering how quickly these speed increments will "trickle down" to projects like node.js.
i'd love to see speed increases as the javascript engine matures.
[un]fortunately, i was only able to actually view one page, as when i went to click on a second link i received a "Database Error".
the most interesting thing was that more recent articles have a password. that makes me wonder:
is there only one password? is it: ' and 1 = 1 ---?
do users "share" passwords?
what happens when someone clicks the "share" link? does having multiple people visit from your "share" cause additional copyright infringement?
I have read that an Apple TV won't stream content on a NAS that can otherwise host an iTunes library; the library actually needs to be on a computer.
correct. the appletv uses the home sharing system instead of shared itunes libraries or a NAS. not optimal, but you can import other media into itunes as long as it is tagged correctly. (you can use lostify for this).
i'm curious what you're using for netflix on the device. i've tried understudy and boxee, and was sorely disappointed with the issues of both. i purchased the appletv solely for netflix support, but would still be happy to go back to just my mac mini (which is used for playing audio/video off the local network, hulu, boxee, sapphire, etc via front row).
personally i use a mac mini with front row. i map my fileserver via smb, play content using sapphire, the hulu plugin for front row, boxee, etc.
it works reasonably well.
we've done something similar: we've converted rarely used phone booths into thriving restrooms.
... is that they wanted to diddle while rome burned?
why not just use the existing coax cable as pull lines and replace them with cat5e?
should end up being cheaper than building out some weird hybrid solution.
how about linking to the original article instead of a blog entry attempting to get page views by copying chunks of the article?
Do you honestly think that if the Chinese get a toe-hold on the moon after spending tons of money that they're going to share it with everybody else
yeah, because the chinese are the only ones going to space? come on.
Have you ever read a history book?
and do you realize that russia is already launching hardware to ISS? and that the europeans have a thriving space program? you know, those people that we already work with on so many other things?
get real.
If we're not going to move forward up there, other nations will. And we will have ceded the high frontier.
we will have ceded the high frontier to other
When the movies are sent to you, do they arive in any type of packaging that indicate what type of movie you are getting?
Netflix sends movies in a Tyvek sleeve with a label with the title, plot synopsis, and a few other details. This, in turn, goes in a paper envelope that hides everything on the label, except a barcode. I don't know what is encoded in the barcode; if I had to guess, it's a unique identifier Netflix uses for inventory purposes. Without a way to tie that to a movie title, the only way someone's going to know what you're ordering from Netflix would be if someone intercepted your mail and pulled out the movie.
always back up. use time machine.
try an in-place update. the installer should inform you if it is able to do an in-place update (it should be able to).
if that fails, a clean install should be just fine, with your time machine backup used for applications, user files, and settings.
