    I'll be happy if it happens, but I'm not holding my breath. Abuse is literally in their corporate DNA. I guess if his vitriol was universal, maybe that makes it more palatable than…

    How many murals or paintings of Steve Jobs are still on the Apple campus?

    Highly recommend David Clarke's work, especially his Sherlock Holmes readings. For me, he's the best Sherlock narrator I've heard. He also runs a chain of Houston coffee shops; the…

    I lived in the south for some time, and being from the midwest ('no' accent), I was always called a yankee. Sometimes as a joke, but there were plenty of cases where it made me fee…

    yep, and even something as 'simple' as images is difficult. If an image gets removed from the feed, it typically must be removed from the listing page. Tons of little things like t…

    one possible issue is that the site will be like a chimera, as everyone has slightly different styles of doing UI work and interaction code.

    This is awesome! We're looking forward to ST_AsTWKB. We've had to do some interesting things to get our data small enough for use on the front end, and hope that this makes our lif…

    Not to mention the current refund fee of 15%..what a nightmare. Reading through their twitter and facebook walls is spooky to say the least.
