Whether your important data lives in the cloud, on your laptop, or on a different operating system, you shouldn't have to use sub-par tools to get at it. These downloads work with every major operating system, along with some not-so-major (mobile) ones.

FRIEDMAN: I think it was unquestionably worth doing, Charlie. I think that, looking back, I now certainly feel I understand more what the war was about . . . . What we needed to do was go over to that part of the world, I'm afraid, and burst that bubble. We needed to go over there basically, and take out a very big stick, right in the heart of ...

I’m a senior in college, and for the first time since I was about 6, I don’t have cable TV. Who knows why: some combination of cheapness, laziness, and some subconscious desire to actually do productive things sometimes. If you know me, you know that’s a bit of a problem: I have approximately 59 shows I must watch every week always, or ...

I think in hindsight, some of Atom's required elements act against people mapping into Atom, namely atom:author and atom:title. Those two really show the blogging heritage of Atom rather than the design goal of a well-formed log entry. Even though author is a "Person" construct in Atom, author is a fairly specific role that might not work ...

Historically, young women and men who sought to thrive in publishing made their way to Manhattan. Once there, they were told, they would work in marginal jobs for indifferent bosses doing mundane tasks and then one day, if they did all of that without whimper or complaint, they would magically be granted access to a gilded community, the large ...

Am 17. November 2009 lag dem Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger und der Kölnischen Rundschau ein „Finanzjournal“ bei, eine „Sonderveröffentlichung der Zeitungsgruppe Köln in Kooperation mit der Sparkasse KölnBonn“.

Have you guys compiled that perfect playlist for your Valentine's night? If you haven't, then don't expect any help here. Okay, that's unfair; don't expect any help here unless the only love songs you've enjoyed since 1990 are Mariah Carey's "Vision Of Love" and Seal's "Kiss From A Rose." But you should forward it to your parents! (Just delete ...

If you've been intrigued by Apple's pricey Magic Mouse but run Windows, or want its multi-touch scrolling powers to work in a Windows installation in Boot Camp, you're in luck. Windows-compatible drivers have been extracted to install at your leisure.

Chris HeckerChris Hecker always seems like the smartest guy in the room. Even when the room is big and full of lots of people, he still seems like the smartest guy in the room. He's a hardcore programmer who fights crime at night and can fly. Here's a sample of his everyday conversations:

Mac OS X only: Following up on my earlier feature article on Hamachi virtual private networking, HamachiX is a GUI point and click client for Mac. Instead of wrangling with the Terminal, get yourself a pretty point and click interface to your Hamachi networks on your Mac. HamachiX will install all the needed components for you and display the ...

WASHINGTON (11/30/09)--About 240 credit unions use Twitter, and more than 800 use Facebook, according to a recent survey on credit unions' use of social media.

Following yesterday's post another hotly requested topic was testing in Django. Today I wanted to give a simple overview on how to get started writing tests for your Django applications. Since Django 1.1, Django has automatically provided a tests.py file when you create a new application, that's where we'll start.

I've recently reviewed most of the contenders for the world's best headphones: the Audio Technica ATH-W5000, Denon AH-D7000, Sennheiser HD 800, Grado PS-1000, Ultrasone Edition 8, and the best headphones I've heard so far, the Stax electrostatic SR-007Mk2. I listened to the Stax with the Woo Audio WES headphone amplifier. If you want and can ...

Competition commissioner Neelie Kroes and telecoms commissioner Viviane Reding will take on new duties in a European Commission lineup announced by Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso on Friday.

Every SEO uses different tools and resources. Some tools are paid, some are free and some are internally developed tools that we use for ourselves and our clients – but we all use them. Very often I get asked what tools people should use if they’re looking to optimize their own sites and what resources they should use to keep up with ...

M.A. is one of the world's foremost experts on neural networks. His undergraduate specialty was artificial intelligence, his master's thesis was about genetic algorithms, and his doctoral dissertation covered evolutionary programming. Such an extensive computer science education opened up a wide range of career options, ranging from a ...

Some people can't stand prosperity, my father used to say. Today, he might be talking about Republicans, who, in the midst of declining support for President Obama's hope-and-change agenda, are considering a "purity" pledge to weed out undesirables from their ever-shrinking party.

I'm pleased to be able to tell you that from today, the BBC is sharing iPlayer data in more detail than ever before. The numbers give new insights into how people use the service, who they are and which programmes are most popular. Data will be available for how many people watched via live simulcast versus on demand. And even how many people ...

Astronaut Don Pettit--inventor of the Zero-G Coffee Cup--plays with free-floating, head-sized water bubbles on the International Space Station. Make sure you stick around for the third experiment, where Pettit sticks an antacid tablet into one of the bubbles.

When creating the ‘image control panel’ for the latest version of GetSimple, I decided to integrate the wonderful Jcrop jQuery plugin into it. Amazingly, there are very few tutorials online that show the full extent of how to use Jcrop in real world situations. The only one I found that was of use was TalkInCode’s tutorial. I ...

While writing my Snow Leopard guide, I realized that a necessary step for me to get Snow Leopard installed was to have Leopard installed first. I used iAtkos v7, a Leopard hacked distribution of OS X Leopard 10.5.7 to get up and running quickly. This is a very brief guide to use iAtkos on P55 boards using Intel Core i5 and i7 processors.

For the most part, the text editors above share many similar features. Keyboard and macro junkies often pit Emacs and Vim against each other, and most if not all of the rest put presentation and ease of use first, while still providing powerful tools for the plain text and coding pro. The real measure of a text editor is how it meets your needs, ...

That elephant in the room is losing some weight. The forever scorned IE6 has always had issues with alpha PNGs, those semi-transparent images of goodness. The market share of IE6 is surprisingly big, especially for more mainstream sites and web developers such as you and me are still left holding the bag to support them.

According to a statement made today by Twitter's co-founder Biz Stone, the company is interested in acquiring more companies to expand upon their current core set of features. At a news conference held in Tel Aviv, Stone was quoted as saying that acquisitions are "something we are definitely interested in. We made an acquisition last year that ...

Last time we learned building an optionless jQuery plugin. But without options, a plugin is nothing but a mere function. This time we are going to focus how to add options to a plugin and extend its functionality. Our sample plugin is going to be a tab navigation plugin.

Can quality assurance processes stimulate creative and innovative learning? This provocative question fuelled discussions at the packed Fourth European Quality Assurance Forum on Higher Education in Copenhagen last week where 500 participants from some 65 countries considered the good and the bad of trends in European quality assurance processes.

With it being Thanksgiving this week, I never expected such an abundance of great web designs. Anyway, here are this weeks inspirational web design selection.

Because I love The Cinnamon Bear so much, I post this exact same article every year on the 29th of November. This year is no different. If you have young children — and even if you don’t — I encourage you to listen to these old radio broadcasts with your family.

Have you ever wondered how the scp and rcp commands worked? The first time I did I haven't found any documentation on the subject. There is no RFC, no draft, not even README file describing it. After reading the source code I tried again and realized that old version of rcp.c might be really the only original documentation available. And since I ...

Over the last couple of months I've been busy travelling round a bit and doing some face to face training and workshops. As part of the materials for these workshops I created a number of tasks for teachers which I hope will help develop their ability to use technology and to evaluate and create materials using web based tools. I've decide now to ...

Google's new layout (only on google.com, not .co.uk, so far - or maybe just for me if it's still a test) has increased the importance of local SEO about a million times. Check out these two screenshots of a search for "St Albans offices" - one on google.com and one on google.co.uk.

Neste curto período no Brasil eu tive a oportunidade de conversar com muita gente, tanto do Rio quanto de outros locais que vieram para workshops ou eventos. Como não é novidade para ninguém o Brasil está cada vez adotando mais metodologias menos burras -ou “ágeis” se você preferir.

In those patients with frontal damage who do confabulate, however, the brain injury makes them rely on their internal memories--their thoughts and wishes--rather than true memories. This is of course dysfunctional, but it is also creative in some of the ways that make improvisation so funny: producing an odd mix of the mundane and impossible. ...

I setup a WSUS server in a test lab and the results of client machines registering themselves with the WSUS server were flaky; especially if they weren't on the same domain as the WSUS server. One of my cloned machines was having trouble until I changed the SID with NewSID from Microsoft. The others didn't appear to have any duplicate SID ...

As books, newspapers and music become ever more virtual and relocate online - or at least onto handheld electronic devices - it warms the cockles of my semi-Luddite heart to know that there are some sources of pleasure that continue to thrive in the real, physical world.

Just this week I switched to OS X and found my self wanting to really take advantage of the shell. I have always wanted to be able to do shell scripting in a language that I know well, and I finally found a solution (I know enough bash shell scripting to get in trouble).

C++の話が続くことに特に意味はないのですが、いや、改めて考えると面白いなーと思ったので。 @DecimalBloat さんのポスト を見て @Cryolite さんのポスト を思い出した上で改めてこの何の変哲もないハローワールドを見てみると、この１行だけでも、 良くも悪くも

If you'd like one of your Dashboard widgets to be available all the time, instead of only when you have activated Dashboard via F12, then activate the Dashboard dvelopment mode.

It was always my intention while in New York City last month to draw on it’s inspiration to construct a learning project utilising the iPod touch and Studywiz Mobile, as an example of drawing together a range of resources and sharing them on a mobile device. One Friday afternoon, after having arrived in Manhattan and settled in, I found my ...

In a recently filed lawsuit, the Department of Veterans Affairs is accused of deliberately misinforming the American public about the number of veterans committing suicide. Armen Keteyian reports.

Jeff Masters gets at something in his great piece on the “climategate” e-maelstrom that most press coverage leaves out: this isn’t our first time around the track.

Recently things are going a bit beyond the healthy conversations and various people are taking the whole “which-is-the-fastest-framework” idea way too seriously. The most important thing in any benchmarking process is not to compare apples to oranges, which unfortunatelly happens too often. After jQuery adopted Sizzle (a selector ...

I caught a lot of flack from my Republican friends for my post blaming the FY2009 deficit on Bush instead of Obama. Well, I must be a glutton for punishment because I can’t resist jumping (albeit reluctantly) to Obama’s defense again. I’m venting my spleen for two reason. First, FoxNews.com posted a story headlined “Obama ...

Last year I made about 30 predictions on Web trends for 2009. Many of them came true, others, of course, did not. Still even in those cases the ideas from the Web trends list were useful. Even those trends that disappeared from the radar or haven’t got main stream yet should be watched closely as they might pop up again sooner or later.

Like Firefox, the open source media player Songbird is a pretty neat alternative to a big-name competitor on its own, but the ability to extend it through add-ons is what really makes it boss.

A washing machine that uses only a cup of water to carry out a full wash, leaving clothes virtually dry, has been developed by British inventors. Researchers say the technology, which uses less than 2 per cent of the water and energy of a conventional machine, could save billions of litres of water each year.
