Amalfi coast is amazing. Pompeii very interesting. Napels Spanish quarters. As Pimeys says the restaurants are just too good. The seafood is very very good.

The thing that stood out for me is "Somewhere between 2,500 and 4,000 people have been killed by drone strikes in Pakistan since 2004".

WHAT!? That is so wrong! This stinks and we're making fuss about mathematics. Just read that sentence again.

Actually, in my experience the private-sector developers doing government contracts are well paid but are sub par skill wise. The software you work with, the slow procedures and the negativity surrounding failing projects ensure only the mediocre stay, which in turn results in longer and more failing projects. The good developers leave for startups etc.

That's a great tradition, that could be applied to not just coffee and pizza. Hope it takes off at other food joints as well.

On a side note, you wonder how many poor people go to coffee bar Gambrinus, featured in the article. It's well known, but a caffè costs more than 2 euro's there, whereas coffee bars in living neighbourhoods charge 70 euro cents. Gambrinus is a place where tourists and well-to-do's frequent.

I would also appreciate an invite! Thanks ([email protected])

Care to share some stats on visits and where they come from? I love the site!

The amount of compendiums sold isn't acurate. The prize pool is being buffed by the purchase of compendium points to garner additional features (with many players sinking money many times more than what the compendium cost). I wouldn't be surprised if this is a big factor behind how fast the prize pool is growing.

Facebook.com isn't responsive (you'll see fixed width's, just check it out), so it does seem that responsive design is something they disregard purposefully.

I'm not getting any feedback in Chrome or Firefox (Mac OS X) that my signature has been registered... what a shame!

Chess.com. They have a nice iOS app too for playing the games on the go.

Yeah, strafing and walking backwards at least you can do. How would you crouch and go prone for example? And I wonder how good you would be able to aim with Omni, that's gonna be a deciding factor.

I thought the top bar was nifty. It only showed when you scrolled back up. When you scroll back up you might be looking for a way to continue somewhere else, and that's when they show you the top bar with it's menu.

"you will need them again; maybe at another team, maybe at your next company or next job."

Why does the author highlight this? So the motive for open sourcing is primarily to help yourself? The collaboration and chances to get better are more important IMHO.

Same here, 1440x900px screen. You have to make the content tiny before you see the statement above the fold.
