from yahoo webmail accounts at least, you are no longer automatically anonymous. if i send an email from my yahoo account and look at the headers when it arrives, my external ip is in there for all to see.
The sediment that is produced after the sugar and yeast have made these little bubble is removed by freezing the neck of the bottle whilst it's upside down and then removing the plug of 'goo'.
That's why Champagne bottles have that large foil top - historically, it was used to cover up the fact that you were being short-changed. Now that we have standards and things, these days, they fill the gap with a similar blend before it's corked.
maybe i've been imbibing of the christmas spirit too much but i don't see a led marked "Temp" on that image on the hd directivo... have i been eating beef for breakfast ?
it would be shame if they didn't make "the magician's nephew" as it provides a lot of background information - the white witch, the wardrobe, the lamppost, etc. maybe they'll come back to this one later once everyone knows who the characters are.
you're absolutely right - i didn't notice that the dell was a tv and not a monitor - i figured it'd be an enhanced version of their current 20" lcd monitor which runs at 1600x1200.
afaik, mac screens are all about consistant dpi so i imagine the 30" ones will run at something like 2504x1560 - sweet...
that powerbook would go very nice with the rumored 30" cinema display that should be out early next year - even though dell beat them to the 2.5 feet punch.
according to the tidbits article linked off the authors' homepage, "Netflix Fanatic reads the cookie information from your Web browser, so you don't even need to configure it with login information" - i take this to mean that if there is a cookie there already, visiting the netflix page manually or programmatically via the app will take you to the "i'm logged in part of the site" - i'd like to think that if this cookie wasn't there or had expired, there is no way the app could manipulate your queue without re-logging in.
like many people here, i use yahoo maps for a number of reasons including (a) it integrates really nicely with all my other yahoo modules - e.g. address book (b) it hasn't let me down yet for maps or directions and (c) i like the way the maps look.
however, two features i'd like to see added - i'm not sure they exist anywhere - are:
- be able to go via other addresses or locations - e.g. take me to blah via broadway/masonic
- some form of "use local knowledge" option - some kind of moderation scheme would be required but you would get to choose segments that other people with local knowledge had added - perhaps each time you get a route, you'd get the option to offer a better solution - if enough people agreed, it'd become active and available to everyone else.
other than some bizarre anomolies like the cost of living in bombay being the highest in the world at one time, the average salary in india is miniscule compared to (say) the western world. $16 a month or so for net access is a 1/2 to 1/3 of what you can pay here in california for a much faster service.
Alternative 3D "platform" + screenshots

If anyone wants to look at another "3D operating system" (okay, platform) then take a look at Muse. Shared virtual, media rich (movies, web, audio) environments coupled with an extensive SDK and developer community that allows users to create their own "worlds" and 3D applications. Way cooler:) screen shots here and here.
i submitted this same story yesterday and it was rejected. i'm not moaning (well, just a little;) ) but why was it deemed worthy today and not tomorrow ?
For an environment like you mention, take a look at Muse - they have a 3d platform that allows users/developers to create and host their own sites in the way you describe - lots of developer info at their community site - it's not perfect - far from it - but closer to the metaverse that this.
Are there any plans to implement the generic searching of images/frames within movies? In general terms, it'd be nice to be able to look for images using something else other than keyword-matching the page it came from. Specifically, I'm thinking of the ability to say "find me more images similar to 'this' one" where 'this' is the url of an existing image.
google seemed to be one of the few (only??) sites that managed to deal with the deluge of extra traffic. can you tell us a little more about google on that awful day?

i thought the reason they froze it was so that everything came out in a solid plug rather than a mix of cava and sediment.
this is how they do it at mumm in napa, ca - not champagne i know but not too bad either.

Who knows why they didn't do that before...

or you could spend your $50 worth of cold hard cash on pepsi and get the tunes that way...

callerid - my "upstairs" satellite receiver does this - very pleased with it so far.
it's "sequel" not "sequal".

to go along with the screenshots, here is a list of codenames for various windows platforms, apps and technologies.
lol - just brilliant..

yep, i guess that's what happened. seems to occur a lot though - to me anyway :)
o-s.

"...technology and massive databases work..."
i wonder if they use an oracle database.
how about you ask them "if you had to interview a programmer, what would you ask them?"...
hopefully they'd raise a lot of points in this thread during the discussion of what they'd do.
asking an interviewee to create a programming problem for others to solve is sometimes a good way to check if they truly understand a subject.
what is the ratio of off-the-shelf software (maya, photoshop, 3ds etc.) to hand crafted software at hammerhead ?
What is your development environment for the hand crafted stuff ?
do you tend to modify / create plugins for existing app or write your own from scratch ?
