And that can be stuffed up with prior bottle use, so not so sure if that's even true.

Not knowing what is text and what is a link just kills me. We went through lots of this in the webs early days. We had icons for navigation and experimental flash navigation. But i…

I didn't read it like that. More the joy of exploring another language.

Please can someone paraphrase the implications of this. It's hard for me to understand.

When you have population growth (or non-native settlers), they prop up the old. It's a pyramid scheme.

It's just insidious though isn't it? There's a scare that we might have internet connected energy meters. You end up with dozens of devices that have connectivity and you don't act…

It's an odd problem. My partner insists on keeping a shopping list. But mostly I remember what we have in the fridge and store cupboard, as I frequently cook. I don't actually forg…

I don't see why we can't semantically define menus and tasks. And have different interfaces that can just plug into these. So if you don't want titles - fine - use a different wind…

I'm a freelance programmer without much self-worth, and currently no work. Given the right environment, people and projects (for me), I know I'd be happier and wealthier, and may e…

Or rather rubbing shoulders is usually used to describe networking, though if you are mingling with the great and the good/important or famous, hobnobbing may have been a better te…

We worked out recently that we spent under £20 pcm on gas and electric over the last year. 2 people, washing machine, fridge, 2 x laptop, LED lights, 1 LED TV, and gas heating. Adm…

We've been forever waiting for Linux on the desktop! In as much as a very polished desktop distro. Never seems to come along. Even Ubuntu haven't managed it. Given fixed hardware I…

Many CGI scripts were coded like this. Here is an example in C: https://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/cgic.html Php was born out of trying to reduce a lot of that cruft and blendin…

They could be a bit more innovative with infrastructure building, like creating glass from the desert sand using solar: https://vimeo.com/25401444 Not sure if it would do clear pan…

Exactly it may take years and lots of heat energy extraction, but the Earth could end up cold. I don't think it's a renewable. On the flip side you can do this the other way round:…

A rather good point about the Mediterranean being used as a shipping channel! There would still need to be huge canals.

I read that the mid-west (not sure if that's the correct location) in north America had heavily depleted water tables because of irrigation. When that evaporates off, where does th…

Why not the whole bay in the plan?

Taking the move a mountain idiom a little too far.

Moving water really enhances places aesthetically. I noticed that the disused Clyde docklands in Glasgow (UK), were being filled in a few years back. A missed opportunity for water…

What's the difference between @foo and #foo? Enough said.

I appreciate that a web shop could want for more than basic html representation. Although arguably there is something already like this: http://schema.org/Product . A search API? B…

I think what saddens me with web programming, is constant rewrites of the same old projects, that pretty much do the same thing. As a community we'd be better to focus on a few cor…

I wrote a simple web app to work with last.fm's api. A little fiddly, but in essense it worked. Somewhere buried in settings were all the apps that have access to my account. I the…

That's funny, I'd even viewed the source looking for a date, and totally missed the url! Not so sure that urls should be any more than a uniqid - should they have semantic meaning?…
