When Iron Maiden walked into Finnegan's Pub in Norway and asked for 27 Slippery Nipples, the bartender did not disappoint. Then they asked for 78 pints of Guiness, 13 Jack Daniels shots, 29 glass "husets" and something else called an "Ossian Ale," among other things. A normal person would call this an epic night out, and an expensive one at that — the total on the bottom of the receipt equals roughly $3,250 USD. But we have an idea of what Iron Maiden would call it: Tuesday.

An open alternative to Facebook will be launched on 15 September, the developers of the project have said.

Diaspora describes itself as a "privacy-aware, personally-controlled" social network.

The open-source project made headlines earlier this year when Facebook was forced to simplify its privacy settings, after they were criticised for being overly complex and confusing.

If you’re very lucky, the client will be willing to pay extra for IE6 support. If not, the additional expense will fall on your shoulders. Either way, the project was not completed to the client’s satisfaction, your professionalism is called into question, and the relationship is at risk.

This situation can be avoided by analyzing the requirements, explaining the issues up-front, and educating your client…

Facebook, in a lawsuit Threat Level reported on Tuesday, claims the term “book” cannot be used to name social-networking sites. The Palo Alto-based site claims Teachbook might dilute its famous name or cause confusion over which is the real Facebook.

You may think that a lot of the points made in this article are nothing more than common sense, and you would be absolutely right! The good news is that the best strategy for creating a site accessible to those with cognitive or learning difficulties is to provide clear and straight forward content in an easy to use interface with few distractions. This is what we want to provide our users with in most circumstances anyway, so it only takes a little more care and thought to avoid the pit falls.

The benefits go beyond what is traditionally thought of as accessibility as well. Something as simple as good grammar can greatly increase comprehension, especially for readers who are not fluent in the language a document is written in.

Building a web page that is accessible goes a long way towards building a web page that is optimised for search engine spiders. In this way, by helping your website be available to all users, you're also increasing your own marketing reach.

The W3C announced today that the Web Open Font Format (WOFF) has been published on their Standards Track. Assuming all interested parties agree, the format will become a royalty-free standard and a W3C Recommendation.

Fortunately, a number of different frameworks are making it easier and easier for developers to create mobile web applications that look and feel more like native apps. Here are six examples. If you don’t see your favorites on the list, add them in the comments below.

Mearra on julkaissut avoimesti lisensoidun suomalaisten verkkokauppojen maksurajapinnat toteuttavan Drupal-moduulin. Übercart-verkkokauppasovelluksen kanssa käytettäväksi tarkoitettu moduuli on toteutettu siten, että geneerinen maksukirjasto on hyödynnettävissä minkä tahansa PHP-koodin kanssa.

Kotisivukone tarjoaa järjestelmänsä uutena ominaisuutena nyt automaattisen mobiiliversion luomisen. Ominaisuuden aktivoinnin jälkeen kännykkäkäyttäjille näytetään kevennetty versio pääsivustosta. Käyttäjillä on myös sivun alalaidassa mahdollisuus vaihtaa tavalliseen versioon. Huomion arvoiseksi uudistuksen tekee sen, että ylläpitäjät voivat valita mitä sisältöosioita ja toimintoja sisällytetään mobiiliversioon. Tämä on erityisen tärkeä ja hieno ominaisuus, koska usein mobiilikäyttö kohdistuu vain osaan sisältöjä.

Good to no

By taking pride in your work and upholding your role on a team, you will help to create a positive environment for all involved. No doubt other people will follow in your footsteps, and each person will become more responsible for themselves and for the greater good of the project. You’ll be seen as more professional, more authoritative, and more reliable.

Also consider the possibility that you may be steamrolling over other people’s ideas, and they’re too afraid to speak up. One of my favorite sayings is: “God gave us two ears and one mouth to use in proportion.” Let this be a reminder not only to say no, but to be willing to hear no, and to encourage others to do the same.

Once FireFox and Internet Explorer have finally catch up with WebKit developers and designers will finally have more options to serve data and graphics. Here there are 10 exceptional animations and graphics done with CSS3 mainly and some with jQuery added.

And finally, while it aids performance minimally as a fuel source, it demands its own fuel and oxygen supply — oxygen that could be going to your muscles instead.

So, whether you’re targeting a podium finish or you just want to give that pesky cyclist a run for his money, achieving a leaner body can help push you towards your personal version of athletic glory.

So, with the assumption that the Department of Justice will recommend that the ADA cover some web sites, I’d like to address some of the concerns and misconceptions about the ADA’s potential application. These all come directly from the Slashdot story comments.

We received the following photos last night from a person who works with this girl. Her name is Jenny (not confirmed) – we're working our contact for Jenny's last name. Yesterday morning, Jenny quit her job with a (flash)bang by emailing these photos to the entire office, about 20 employees we're told. Awesome doesn't begin to describe this office heroine. Check back as we will be updating if we get more details.
UPDATE: WE have made contact with Jenny and will be posting a follow-up story tomorrow morning with more information.

Agarwal tells us that Apple is completely run by its engineers. "They don’t have a lot of product management," he says. "Most of the project teams are really small, and they’re all driven by the engineers."

On top of that, Agarwal says that most managers are all engineers as well, "not product people or MBAs." That means that the people overseeing projects understand the technology, what's necessary for a project, and can really relate to their team.

oskus vuosia sitten pyörän ja auton välinen väistämisvelvollisuus oli kovin yksinkertainen asia. Polkupyörä oli ajoneuvo, jolla oli tasa-arvoisessa risteyksessä väistämisvelvollisuus, jos auto tuli oikealta ja päin vastoin. Paljon syntyi onnettomuuksia ja eduskunta päätti muuttaa lakia niin, että pyörä on väistämisvelvollinen silloin tällöin ja joskus taas ei. Sen jälkeen risteysajo on mennyt hankalaksi.

This article provides an overview of three different strategies to make your websites work across all devices. We’ll call them "mobile-aware" websites, as they’re not specifically for mobile sites, but they will work on mobile, as well as across different alternative browsing devices. These strategies are not mutually exclusive; you can mix and match as your project, budget and sanity allows.

Mutta asialla on myös kääntöpuolensa. Autojen rekisterien tallentaminen tietokantaan ja (ilmeisesti) täysin automatisoitu rekisterin lukeminen kuvasta sekä maksulappujen postitus herättävät kylmiä väreitä tietosuojan näkökulmasta. Isoveli on saanut avukseen uusinta kameratekniikkaa, joten sillä on aiempaa enemmän silmiä.
