Considering this took 3 days (not 2 years) and didn't cost $600mil+, this site is much better. Works perfectly with my zip code (92101, San Diego).

Rotating video on something like a mobile is difficult, there's not much processing power so it will take a while with large videos and drain your battery. As for detecting if the user has "rotated" the phone, how can we know if this isn't intentional? If a user intentionally rotates a phone to achieve a desired effect and we rotate it again this could cause frustration.

This is what I'm for. How come the military makes a standard living wage but the president makes something like $400k / yr? In my mind politicians should make $0, have their living arrangements and food provided by the state. The you would only have those interested in doing some good (for no monetary gain) running for office.

now what good is "per-process memory protection" in a sealed system and how is that a requirement for algo trading systems? My framework is running across *nix machines, both linux and mac with zero issues.

This law already exists to "protect" people: https://us.etrade.com/e/t/prospectestation/help?id=1307030000#Learn While not exactly the same ($25k will clear you from the regs) it definitely does knock a dent in the scalpers.

I definitely think HTML, CSS and JS is the future of publishing. In fact, I'll go ahead and say the transition has already started. If you look at what's happening right now, book sales, magazine and newsprint subscriptions are on the decline in favor of information gathered from the internet. People generally don't like picking up a book to look up some info when Google is readily available and decreases the amount of time required to get said information. Also, writers will not have to learn anything different, there are already WYSIWYG editors for HTML in existence, they only thing that is missing is a standardized CSS file for them to use that creates all the justified columns and what not they require. HTML5 is also very descriptive about it's data when used properly, unlike PDF's generated with a series of images (I really hate reading these on my kindle!). Also when you add javascript to the mix things like those old childrens books with scroll wheels for animations becomes possible again. HTML5, CSS3, and JS will provide much more rich content than what is currently available, not to mention it's an open standard and can work on any device implementing a web browser.
