Somewhat, perhaps, more cumbersome, but very workable, is to hire yourself a personal shopper for a day. Those are available at all major cities. That person will guide you through…

Aren't URI:s an attempt to encode this type of hydra-like schema? Not that URI:s are that great for showing to humans, but if we added some visualizations template plug-in system f…

I have a pair of Vibram Five Fingers and while my toes are rather normal it can be difficult when running off-trail. Grass keeps getting stuck between the toes and if you get tired…

Perhaps I'm misreading you, but this comes across to me like "if you don't have kids yourself you could not possibly understand". That is, I believe, a thoroughly wrong position to…

I realize you probably already know this, and perhaps even don't need this, but I often use http://google.com/ncr . The "/ncr" bit ensures that no localization redirection is done.…
