Above all, the article proves that you can be almost entirely incoherent and still get your article published in Wired if it says something about how Google is changing the world. Chris Anderson is the editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine. He's the one who gets to choose what they publish.
At 6'2" you're about 5 inches taller than the average American or Brit. Remember that with averages everyone could be very close to the average or there could be very wide variance. My guess is that in Japan more people fall close to the average, while in the west there is far more variance. Therefore you won't experience the sea of heads all around the same height in the west even though our averages are close.
Side note, the article is being just rabble-rousing by comparing waistlines considering that Americans are so much taller on average than Japanese it makes sense that they would be proportionally larger in waist size.
I was thinking the same thing until I looked it up. On average men in the US are 1.5 inches taller and women are 1.2 inches taller. That's not a big enough difference to expect our waist sizes to be so much larger (all else being equal).
Software developers are also complaining that programming is difficult on the Android platform due to regular changes being made by Google. And incomplete documentation. On the surface the documentation seems pretty robust. But while I tried to build an app on Android I ran into a number of roadblocks with details missing from the documentation. Maybe commercial enterprises can get something more complete, but the online docs are lacking in certain details.
CVS was good enough for my company until we learned how SVN was able to make many things much easier. We did fresh imports of all of our projects into SVN. So we lost history in the new repository but kept around the old CVS repository just in case we needed its history.
That was a few years ago and we're far more productive today, especially with branching and merging.
The only reason every function is global is because that's the only way PHP works until namespaces are introduced. And there are no classes because it's not object oriented. Object oriented programming isn't the only solution to every web development problem (although I use it for 95% of my work).
I'd rather have 100 small functions than 10 huge functions. Problems in Drupal are all broken down into bite-size parts, so the function call overhead is offset by maintainability, modularity, and code re-use.
It's actually quite easy to follow Drupal code in most cases.
Naming an individual object seems to make more sense than this sub-classification. I would think astronomers would speak more of each object than this particular subclass.
I became a fan of Drupal after learning its internals and writing modules for it. So when a client came along that needed a custom site that seemed to closely fit the Drupal model, we started with that as a foundation. Well over a year later it's become far too convoluted. We could now (if we were given the time) rewrite the whole thing from nothing in under 2 months and have far fewer problems.
So for custom development, unless the work can be accomplished through only module and theme development, it's typically better to create something on top of a simple framework. Each CMS is good for its specific scenarios, so unless your scenario fits right in, don't bother.
I come with an authority in that I know that God exists, Jesus is real. Next time you see Jesus tell him I said, "Oogedie boogedie boo!" He'll know what it means.
Call me selfish, but I'm not going to be the guy out there in the lightweight car. I'm not going to risk the life of my daughter "for the greater good". Sorry, but that's human nature. Except that heavy car you bought is unlikely to have good crumple zones, so when your daughter gets into a car accident she's going to absorb the energy from the impact instead of the car. In some ways lightweight cars are safer for the passengers inside.
Lighter SUVs flip over easier. How could you prefer any SUV when it's far less safe? Minivans and station wagons at least have better crumple zones to protect you in a crash. Even those half-SUV/half-car things use car frames with proper crumple zones and have a lower center of gravity.
Cars need to be lighter and more aerodynamic. The drag on a standard automobile is just ridiculous. Rear ends today are typically vertically flat! Who are these designers that aren't familiar with the teardrop shape?
I just checked AT&T's web site and the iPhone's no longer listed. I also can't find a press release where they mention any change to monthly plans. So where are you getting this information?

I don't understand your post at all. Are you saying that because Tim Robbins isn't censored, then censorship doesn't exist? Really?
Really?
And that's the problem. In America we use the fudge method.

Dude, 1787 called, they want their government back.

6) Lawsuits lost because of this law may be appealed and this law will hopefully be found unconstitutional (because it is).

You mean it wasn't due to Firefox downloads? Guess it's not yet as mainstream as I'd like it to be. :)
The firebug beta (download) works with FF3. I use it almost every day with no issues.
Follow-up questions: Could the actions of these lawyers cause them to be disbarred? And if not, shouldn't they be?
Thanks, NYCL.
The name leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet."
Or in other words, what does the terminology matter? Yes, we like to classify things to organize our thoughts. But this seems a step too far.
