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.
Another problem in "dog intelligence" is that a lot of it is misconstrued with obedience. Sure, dog A and dog B both understood the command you issued; and the one that gets labelled as "intelligent" is the dog that chose to follow that direction versus the other dog who made up his own mind as to what to do.
Most scent hounds are perfect examples of this. They never have high representations at obedience competitions, but put an obstacle between them and what they are tracking, and you will see amazing problem solving skills.

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