Del racconto di Sergio, in missione al Personal Democracy Forum, mi ha colpito soprattutto un passaggio. Quello in cui, raccontando la relazione di Anthony Hamelle di Linkfluence, evidenzia come la blogosfera italiana «appaia molto isolata, rinchiusa in se stessa, sostanzialmente disinteressata rispetto all'agenda dell'Unione e pesantemente ...

NASHVILLE — Some of the debtors sitting forlornly in this city’s old stone bankruptcy court have lost a job or gotten divorced. Others have been summoned to face their creditors because they spent mindlessly beyond their means. But all too often these days, they are there merely because they, or their children, got sick.

ATD19 is a mixtape for Steven Wells, the Greatest To Ever Do It, who died earlier this year.

Now this is a story all about how…to avoid constantly tossing pricey produce that's gone bad. It's pretty disappointing to crave, say, a Gouda, Asparagus, and Mushroom Omelet only to find out that it's gonna have to be eggs 'n' cheese thanks to the rotting food in your crisper. So here's a list of tips to help you save food and cash, and ...

A few days ago I found a jQuery Plugin called jParse that allows you to quickly and easily parse XML.  While this is a great plugin and does exactly as it says, I personally try not to use too many plugins in my JavaScript Programing.  So I decided to write a tutorial to show you how easy it actually is to Parse XML via jQuery.

Update: In September 2009, I updated our Hackintosh build with a guide covering how to build a Hackintosh with Snow Leopard, start to finish. Two months ago I walked through how to build a Hackintosh Mac on the cheap using PC parts. Since that post, the OSx86 scene has changed rapidly, and now you can install Leopard on your computer about as ...

It's no use pretending this isn't a major blow. The emails extracted by a hacker from the climatic research unit at the University of East Anglia could scarcely be more damaging. I am now convinced that they are genuine, and I'm dismayed and deeply shaken by them.

I promised some friends (and students) that I would talk about how one goes about writing a successful sex scene.  There are a lot of theories about this–one school, for example,  believes that a successful sex scene should titillate. (Do they believe a successful dinner scene should make you hungry? I write my dinner scenes for all sorts ...

Apple's iTunes store now has a category called "Top Grossing Apps," where you can see the biggest current sellers for iPhone and iPod Touch in the store.

There certainly is a lot of noisy swirl of late around the escalating fight between Google and some traditional media companies over content online. The loudest voice in this fight has clearly been News Corp. (NWS) kingpin Rupert Murdoch, who seemingly has not met a television interviewer of late he did not regale with tales of Google’s ...

I admit, considering that two days from now you'll probably be feasting on a whole turkey surrounded by family and friends, that it's possible you're not looking for a turkey recipe for dinner. But I can't help it—turkeys are everywhere this time of year, and using them for all kinds of cooking is very economical. I recently bought one to ...

Pecans are one of my favorite nuts and pecan pie is definitely a holiday classic, but even though I enjoy a slice from time to time, pecan pie tends to be a little too gooey and a little too rich much of the time - especially after a big meal. If you like a less gooey dessert, as I do with pecan pie, you might want to try a pecan tart instead. ...

The goal of this article is to help you create multi-volume archives and generate checksums to validate integrity. Why?

As an example, I&# ...

Teachers, business people, and just about everyone else it seems complain often and loudly that people today (usually “kids today”) don’t know how to write. I’m convinced, though, that a big part of the problem (perhaps the biggest part of the problem) is that people don’t know how to edit. We labor under the notion ...

AMPATUAN, Philippines – A few miles (kilometers) off the main highway, on a remote hilltop covered with waist-high grass, bodies lay with twisted hands reaching in the air. They had been shot point-blank.

Sometimes some of the most entertaining TV you’ll see can come from your local news – especially if you live in Arkansas it seems. And so was the case last Tuesday night. But more about that later.

You might have heard that Joe Hewitt has given Apple the finger, and is moving on (or more accurately moving back to) mobile web development. You can do a lot on mobile web browsers -- more than you can do on desktop browsers. This can seem counterintuitive at first.

I think that the worst part of unit testing is that it’s never straight forward to test an applications data access. I always feel worried about just creating in memory collections or objects to test against or mocking data access components. I have found on occasion when the code is switched over from test data to work against an RDBMS ...
