I'm dubious of the "walking again" claims though. Sure it's awesome he's regained feeling - that's the story here. But his so-called walking is between parallel bars or with a walker, both with full calipers. Complete paraplegics can do this by just swinging their legs, and it looks like what this guy was doing. They showed him lying on a bed, I wish they'd show just what leg movement - if any - he's regained.
Rails 3.0 has a legacy routing mapper that lets us continue using the Rails 2.3 routing syntax. The legacy routing mapper is also available as a gem [1] for Rails 3.1 and 3.2.
We plan on gradually upgrading our routes file to use the new syntax now that we're on Rails 3, but as you can imagine it's something that we're going to need to be slow and careful about.
The article quotes 500 flips to get 9 in a row. I'm not sure how many flips this took but Derren Brown gets 10 in a row. Notable camera cut after the intro but the 10 heads seems genuine.
It seems like that would be really, really expensive unless NASA actually wanted to help them out. I think it's mutually beneficial NASA is trying to reach a younger generation as they struggle to stay relevant given that they don't even have a human launch platform ATM.
You cannot legally run OS X on anything other than Apple hardware. This gets really annoying when you want to set up a headless browser testing cluster because you can't virtualize any of the Mac OS's you might be targeting.
Well, you can set up some headless mac minis and run a variety of virtualized OS X instances on them.
I personally don't see the advantage of using other hardware, Apple hardware is a better value to me. (I value reliability over lower initial price, and I don't find generic PC components to be cheaper for the same thing, nor to have adequate reliability. )
That's pretty much what I've done when I needed to, don't get me wrong, I like Apple laptops and will be replacing my recently stolen Macbook Pro as soon as my budget allows; but being unable to launch an OS X vm is an inconvenience at times, and a completely unnecessary limitation.
Should also mention that the Mac visualizer them so damn slow.
Cause yeah Ive a 2011 high end mac. And Vmware, parallels or vbox, they're all slower than on Windows and Linux
Figures.
I'm virtualizing OSX on PCs, I don't care that Apple put a virtual limitation saying "you've no right to do that! its our software!".
It's just as broken as software patents. I pay for it, I use it as a please. Sue me.
Funny than when it comes from Apple its ok and good reason to buy a Mac tho. Imagine if Microsoft did that? Really, just imagine it one second and how bad you'd hate them.
They used to strongly discourage adding non-friends.
I remember when adding people you had to enter something for "How did you meet this person?" and if you checked "I don't know them", it would close the box and say "Well why are you adding them?"
That sort of thing goes out when advertising and paying for games and such via the system come in. People having many connections means that if someone lets you app in or "likes" the page directed to by your ad then you get a change to advertise to all those people on that one person's list of contacts. This is attractive to the advertisers, and makes paying money to facebook a better value proposition.
Facebook want you to be connected to as many people as possible because this network of connections is essentially what they sell. Just like Google, with facebook you are the product that is sold to the advertisers (the difference being that currently with facebook your friends are the product too, though that difference is set to vanish if Google can get the social thing right enough to attract a critical mass of users).
"Facebook want you to be connected to as many people as possible because this network of connections is essentially what they sell."
I agree, but I also think that eventually, this devalues Facebook.
It's like you had this party with all your friends, and then all your coworkers and former classmates and people you met at conferences and people who share your interest in banjo music all showed up too.
And eventually, it wasn't a party anymore; it was just a random collection of people. And you started thinking, "wouldn't it be nice if I had a place for just me and my friends?"
> And eventually, it wasn't a party anymore; it was just a random collection of people. And you started thinking, "wouldn't it be nice if I had a place for just me and my friends?"
Aye, I think that is what Google is going for. They might be early to the game though: have enough people got to that stage that FB will see a large number trying Google's offering just for that reason?
I feel like I must be missing something here; how is the 2/3rds that don't use Mac OS the smaller market?
And as others have pointed out, the market doesn't just consist of GitHub users, or even Git users. In this case, it's developers who use an RCS and need a good desktop application to go with it.
In any case the point may be moot; judging by the rest of the comment you quoted they're not ignoring other platforms at all but rather just using Mac OS as a first step, which I can understand.
Some great points here but just because this applied to this guy doesn't mean every point is a catch-all for sick people.
2. I SHOULD BE GOING NOW. You’ll never go wrong by uttering these five words while visiting someone who’s sick.
I spent 11 months in hospital after a spinal cord injury and every time, I hated when my mates were about to leave. Having visitors can be the only form of escapism.
Also, "You look great". Maybe you do? I get this a lot. People say it behind my back too, i.e. "Hey I saw him the other day he's looking great", which feels awesome because in my mind I look like shit.
