It actually seems to be code to change/rename database fields within Drupal 7... https://gist.github.com/rangnekarsuhel/e0402c9f93c5cda66a02

Chris, you say Gmail tightened up their spam filters... Did this take place in the last ~6 weeks or so?
I've noticed the spam filter on Gmail for Google Apps has gotten significantly less accurate recently, resulting in far more false-positives than usual. Any ideas if this is a known issue? I can only presume it's more accurate overall, but it was definitely a noticeable change for our organisation.

Which conference is this?
I tried Googling "!!Con" and obviously the exclamation marks don't count as part of the search term. Apparently Google doesn't know what I mean by "exclamation mark exclamation mark con" either. There's also no link in their YouTube channel...

The update process is horrendous. Redirect to Adobe's website, follow a 3-step 'wizard' - where Step 2 is a placebo 10-second loading bar saying it is "initialising" - and Step 3 is an advertisement for installing other crap from Adobe.
After all that you have to download a DMG, close all your applications and reinstall from scratch. Why not just build in an auto-update in the background and be done with it...

So what's going to happen to the astronauts aboard the ISS - this was a resupply mission. How much longer can they stay up there with their current supplies?

Although they may seem redundant, buttons on pedestrian crossings are vital for disabled people to know when it is safe to cross.
Most UK crossings beep when it's safe to cross (for the blind), and have small jagged cones[1] on the bottom that can be felt spinning around in your hand (for the deaf and blind).

So it would seem Scott Forstall (of Apple) is now an advisor to Snapchat, and owns 0.11% of the stock... I'd been wondering what he'd been up to after Apple.

Actually it follows the same fare rate as the taxis themselves, plus 5% extra to Uber for the convenience of the service.

Is Z-Wave the same thing as a Zigbee mesh network? I know that's what Philips Hue uses.

Why is the funnel intake octagonal? Making it circular would be more aesthetically pleasing, or is there a technical reason why having 8 'separate' entrances is required?
Secondly, paint the funnel intake and top section green, and the 'trunk' brown, stick these on top of a hill, and from a distance it could pass for a tree. Much more visually pleasing than a traditional wind turbine.

... Internet Pod? For an offline music player?
