Wow.. I work for GoDaddy and I have heard nothing regarding us blaming Apple for this problem. I've heard plenty about us blaming another vendor (whom I can't name), but not Apple. Unfortunately, it's not a problem that can be fixed until this unnamed vendor provides a patch.
My place of employment actually does have toilets with light and heavy flush modes. First ones I've seen outside of Europe. They even have the giant European toilet seat (the shape of the seat in Europe is quite different from most of ours).
Best transportation system? I've lived in San Francisco and rode BART every day. I've also lived in DC, and I've also lived in New York.. BART and DC Metro are roughly even (though BART's interior is more comfortable). But realistically, come on.. New York has the best transit system in the US by far.
Coverage is the most important thing for a transit system, that and affordability. Let me know how BART's coverage map compares to this. And that's just the subway, not the buses, and not the commuter rails..
New York City puts the rest of the country to shame when it comes to public transit. San Francisco's a nice compared to cities like LA, Phoenix, Denver, etc. But there are definitely some eastern cities that have it beat.
I like this. There's no proof really either way on this, so as someone mentioned, anything is a leap:
a) The universe was just here (a leap) b) A god was just here and created the universe (a leap) c) The universe was created by a magical gorilla in a tuxedo (a leap)
Evolution makes sense in the scope of this planet. But we have no clue how the universe got here. I'd almost just rather tell our children that we have no f'ing idea how the hell it got here, but here are some random ideas that people are pulling out of their asses.
I dont' believe in a god and I don't pretend to know how the universe came into existence, just like a person of religion couldn't tell me how their god came into existence. Perhaps our idea of time is wrong.
I like nvi more as well. Last I checked, however, grep and egrep are just hardlinks pointing to the same data. I guess it might depend on the OS though. grep -E with GNU Grep is the equivalent of using egrep as well.
I've been in many different atmospheres over the past few years. However, one thing has been constant across all of them. The people that stay get screwed.
You know the guy. There's always someone who's been with the company for years, making less than everyone else around him and working more hours. He might claim to be looking for a new job, but you know that either he isn't looking, or that the length of time he's in the same environment has seriously tarnished his resume.
Given an opportunity, a company will gladly take advantage of these loyal resources, and therefore, they get screwed. Is this the company's fault? No. These people were born to be screwed over. You're only worth what you can convince someone to pay you. So complaining that you're not being paid what you're worth is a lie unless you've gotten someone to pay you more.
Optimal time to stay with a company? I think 1-2 years for me. I usually find that I'm bored of the environment by that time anyway.
The issue is that the glass/material used for solar panels is still quite expensive, and more than most consumers are willing to pay (last I heard it takes about 10 years to get your money back on the investment).
Unfortunately, Python is not 100% OO, so I'd just be jumping from one inconsistent language to another one. Granted, it is much more consistent than Perl.
I come from a C/Perl/Java background, and Ruby just seems too different I can't tell whether it's work taking the time to learn or not.
Once you learn it, you'll find that it is very consistent throughout development. You don't need to worry about certain syntax not working in certain situations, etc. Language consistency is the main reason I use Ruby. If I don't know it, I can guess and be right 95% of the time. It's almost creepy.
That said, I'd have to imagine that closures are the main issue you have with Ruby's syntax, since that's really the only part of Ruby's syntax that differs from other scripting languages.
e.g.
1.upto(5) do |number|
puts number end 1 2 3 4 5
Just know that closures are incredibly powerful and can be used to simplify a great deal of things. Don't let the use of |s turn you away.
I have also paid for 2 upgrade of Mulberry. I tend to use Thunderbird more often now though. There are things I don't like about it, such as the lack of IMSP/ACAP support, lack of support for creating SIEVE rules, and how it downloads every header in the mailbox. However, it isn't bad. And, like you, my main requirement is support for multiple identities. Thunderbird seems to handle this perfectly fine. It didn't used to, though. Give it a shot if you haven't looked in a while.
I for one am quite sad that this has happened. I have been a paying user of Mulberry for the past 4-5 years. It really was technically a great email client. The UI could have used some more work, but no other client could handle huge mailboxes anywhere close to as well as Mulberry could. I *really* hope they find a way to release the source for this product. I think with some UI reworking, it could be something truly great. Not to mention this is one of the only clients I've used that supports IMSP/ACAP, so that my mail preferences are the same wherever I go.
Does Winamp, Postfix, SquirrelMail, etc. Do the developers of this software really need to shoulder same responsibility as a car manufacturer? How many people have died from a Postfix or Sendmail bug? Why does everyone insist on coming up with these extreme analogies?
I can't prove it at this point. But I was almost positive that I submitted that as "iPods combined with iTunes". But then again, why would they change that. So I probably did mess that up:-).. It was pretty late at the time.

No. The problem is the missing blank line.
GoDaddy is not blaming Apple, the article is inaccurate.
This is accurate. Apple is not being blamed. It looks like whoever wrote the article never spoke to GoDaddy's PR department.

Paris's metro has 199 miles of track and 368 stations.
:-)
NYC's subway has 468 stations and 660 miles of track in passenger service (840 including yards, etc.)
NYC has 1.4 billion annual ridership, while Paris has 1.2 billion.
Moscow has a huge lead though with 3.2 billion
These are just the stats I was able to dig up..
Wow. Good catch. I think that's exactly what they were going for.
FreeBSD has had a microkernel?

I think what ING Direct does can be considered 2-factor authentication, and that doesn't require giving the customer anything additional.

Don't forget Northern Virginia. There are a ton of peering points in NoVA..

Mulberry was originally and was always focused on being an IMAP client. POP3 was added well afterwards.

I am truly sad to see them disappear.
I gave examples of free software because the submitter (or the article) specifically mentioned the GPL
