Your poor reading experience...

Some times people need tobe told harshly they're being an idiot.

At first I thought maybe I was a little hasty, in calling you a fucking idiot. Now I'm glad that you have reaffirmed my initial suspicions.

I had a big long post written up about crippling depression, and how it really can stop a person from functioning in life.

Instead, I'll just post and call you a fucking idiot.

Ran headfirst into this issue earlier this week. Unfortunately, the issue was not fixed in 1.4 as of Monday.

Judging by their published release timeline, 1.4 is set to be released the first week of March, I dont think a fix will make it in to 1.4. :[

I'd go one further, entire industries have been created to tackle this very problem! There is a lot of money in mining logs properly, it's easily a billion dollar industry.

To me, the existing kindle is already quite a good tablet.

It might not have all the bells and whistles of an ipad, but there's an active app community, it's "tablet" sized, and is geared towards content consumption and not creation. For me, this is what signifies a tablet.

I get sick to my stomach each time I see a contest like this. All risk is born by the participants, and no matter the outcome, the only result for the contest runner is a demonstrably larger bottom line.

I believe that to have paid professionals perform a similar level of work, the price point would be well over the main prize of 25,000.

My salary was 10k less.

Time for a some what off topic anecdote.

My workplace used to post all H1-B pay rates in the breakroom.

The day after my review, in which I brought up the pay discrepancy between me and the H1-B workers at a similiar grade, they all came down never to reappear.

This is a fairly large company, which made it even more shocking.

I too had this same thought.

The only thing I could come up with is that, anyone implementing these at scale (fb's competitors) has already committed substantial dollar amounts to existing infrastructure.

To leverage the minor improvements in design that will come of this, they would have to start by rolling out new facebook style racks/data centers.

Whereas, for facebook any design improvements would be easier to implement on a larger scale.

Either that or they are just do-gooders, which I highly doubt.

Grooveshark has a content deal with EMI. I'm sure there are deals with other labels as well.

There is no check that array[i] actually exists. If array[] has 2 items but args[] has 5, you will overflow the array.
