Another that.mobi isn't only bad, but retarded is that m & o are on the same key making it hard to type. Also, it's relatively long for a mobile keyword.
Yeah, been there, wrote my share of spaghetti code to tack on another feature the quickest and least elegant way.
Now add a management that is not willing to invest in refactoring during slower times, and the code will degrade over the years as one quickhack is added to the next. Ahh, ye olde bandaide ball. I've seen her before.
I find that there are generally 2 types of coders, hackers and people who are good at maintaining code. Smart management should do their best to keep the two occupied doing what they do best.
Maybe getting in the habit of double-clicking the part of the URL you want to change would work better for you?
That's what I've been doing forever. But in FF3, double clicking anywhere in the URL bar selects the entire thing, which as I said leaves no efficient way (that I can discover) to select just part of a URL. That's definitely a window manager/UI toolkit issue, on Win and Mac you can double click to select the portion between punctuations.
Here we've had auto diallers that "prank", i.e. hang up after one ring in an apparent attempt to get you to call back at your expense. That was even funnier with the sequential numbers on our pbx; chirp, chirp, chirp... around the office in quick succession.
I already get SPOTS (Spam over Plain Old Telephone Service), not just telemarketing, but automated calling agents.
I'm considering setting up an Asterisk box with an IVR asking for the first x letters of the name of the person you are calling otherwise you go to voice mail.
This reminds me of The Yes Men:
In his keynote address, Andy presents a short history of their field to the textiles scientists, engineers, and managers in attendance. First he describes how the US Civil War--fought over the textile, cotton--was a great waste of money, because slavery would have been replaced by its infinitely more efficient version: remote sweatshop labor, such as we have today.
I absolutely love my cast iron skillets. I got them from my parents; they're quite old now and have outlasted all the aluminium+Teflon stuff, are much nicer to work with and are non toxic. I just wish I could find more of the same quality.
In Slovenia I'm noticing quite a different trend... But maybe we're just being weird here. You're in Europe, that's par for the course. JK, however standards are much higher on the European mainland than elsewhere in the "West". Well, at least in Poland but I assume it's a continental norm.
Not only do teachers not get paid enough to attract and retain the good ones, but teachers unions and the fear of lawsuits make firing the awful ones nearly impossible. I call B.S. on that one. In my time teaching, I saw several bad teachers let go. Problem was, there wasn't anyone better to replace them. Well, I went to one of the best schools in Australia and one of the Maths teachers (senior staff member no less) was so bad that he had a retarding effect on his students; year in year out. I think they might have managed to get rid of him by now, or maybe he retired, but god he was such a moron. He even got the examples wrong, and no, I don't think he was bluffing to see if anyone was paying attention. He made people lose interest in maths.
IMHO Web Dev Toolbar and Firebug are the two biggest reasons for Firefox's adoption. You use both? I ask because I completely dropped WDT when I discovered FB (chuck in Firecookie and Tamper Data for good measure). Is there something I'm missing?
...It would be like giving birth perhaps, you spawn off a part of yourself. To me it would feel utterly futile. Where's the benefit to me (by which I mean my internal monlogue, my continuous experience of life), other than in terms of vanity? I guess you haven't had kids.
Your preferences are your business, however we're talking about the spread of genetic information here, so they're irrelevant to the discussion at hand.

Done.

I'd consider a pile of ashes quite well-done.
Not a matter of time, done already. See: CGTalk, in particular Weird Science.

I've written a lot of JavaScript and never been bitten by that one.
