I'd encourage you to play around with Obj-C a little more before writing it off. It's actually a pretty simple, compact and concise language once you dig into it. Apple's APIs, on the other hand... :facepalm:

That's a phenomenal idea! Thanks!

And re: your post below, yeah, try the cache - I just added a feauture called "Testing validations" with no problem.

Yeah, it's an option given to project owners if signed in. The fix has been pushed.

Ah, the reason I couldn't reproduce was that I was logged in. Pushing a fix momentarily. Thanks for finding that!

Thanks for the tips! I probably could have picked a better day to release this - RIP Dennis Ritchie! I'll probably follow your suggestions at some point next week.

Can you fill me in on where this happened and what your input was? I'm not able to replicate your problem. The input for the number of days/months/years should be numeric, which I should probably not there somehow. Is that your problem?

Wow awesome explanation - about 6 years ago while hacking gtk+ and Mozilla I used those instructions to hack into the main event loop to get gtk+ embedding gecko 1.7 and had no idea that those my perceived hacks where actually some what valid method for doing what I needed to do - modify how window events from gecko where propagated to gtk+ event loop and vice versa. I think that my bug report is probably still open and might even be worth revisiting if anyone is still interested in gtk+ with Mozilla embedded - would likely need to make lots of changes... Latest gecko is 1.9?? Anyways awesome explanation

How much of the revenue comes from IE6 browsers? If it's more than the cost support it/ less drop it... My guess, it's less revenue then cost and that by this time next year we can say the same for IE7.

"Consequently, this means that you will receive no value in respect of any of the shares underlying your Options."

I don't really see how that's ambiguous... I mean, I think Skype and their investors have behaved like total assholes, but the guy did sign a contract which explicitly told him what would happen.
