I had to replace an interior door handle on a '99 Miata (interior is far easier than an exterior; exterior means pulling the door skin off for access and having to deal with paint matching), and a Miata is real straightforward repair job. But I still took a photo of each and every little piece I pulled off not knowing when one would break or be deformed before or after this process. (And having to locate a dealership to order the part shipped while showing him a handful of broken parts and a complete photo of "this doohickey".)
$1000 would be steep price to pay for a Corrolla but not outlandish. I would bet the cost of replacing one on a BMW 3 series would be more.
The fact that RSS appears to be dying is the best proof I have ever seen that demonstrates a secret cabal of lizard-people who control the world. How did it go from being so pervasive and useful to dying in so short a time? It can't all be laid at the feet of Google Reader and Facebook news.
It's a nitpick, I know. I view source. I always view source. There a lot of things that made the web a success (the REST principles underlying the architecture, the "a" tag, the non-draconian "error" handling, right-place-at-right-time), and one of them was "view source." And I always view source. And then I pick at nits.
This one advertises "[relying on] existing W3C standards", so I brought it up. I usually keep my mouth shout.
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance. It's a $500 subsidized item. They may make a lot of money. But if you actually take a look at the 1.3 billion phones that get sold, I'd prefer to have our software in 60% or 70% or 80% of them, than I would to have 2% or 3%, which is what Apple might get."
Palm CEO Ed Colligan in 2006:
"We’ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone," he said. "[Apple is] not going to just figure this out. They’re not going to just walk in."
That's rife for abuse. It would require a "reporting" function; a moderation team; resolution practices; human intervention; a "scoring" system to judge repeat offenders... on and on and on.
Please don't ask for that. I don't need to see that the gym located at a church being championed by the Pokeman nicknamed "Gaylord."
> LDAP management on non-Windows systems is like stepping back 30 years.
How so? And managing which components -- the directory server or the clients?
> there wasn't even a supported UI for directory operations
What directory operations? add/mod/del? There are quite a few packages that handle that. Or are you talking about operations on the server side?
> typing DN's by hand is for the birds!
I concur. Though, it's pretty rare to type in a DN anywhere. I can't think of many places where a simple RDN or search filter on a unique value (uid, mail, etc.) doesn't suffice.

If you want people to use currency more, you make it inflate faster. This guy does not understand macroeconomics.
