I hope folks don't mind this rather off-topic question here. Is there a JavaScript-based equivalent to Django or Rails? My (limited) understanding is that node.js, Meteor et al are rather different beasts.
Yeah, a lot of devs have to do that because they just use the CSS, like from bootstrapcdn [1]. It's nice not to have to, though, especially for those of us who leverage LESS.
I remember those days vividly. How do you compete with "Free?"
And, unlike today, where an alternative browser is just a click-away on a high speed link for even the average layperson, the vast majority of the world back then (geeks not included) got their browser through the channel that delivered software to them - and, for most computers users, the operating system was the ultimate channel. Downloading something as huge as an entire browser was not likely undertaken. Your average user had something like a 56 Kilobit modem back in 1998.
So, when the IE browser was free, and bundled through every-channel Microsoft could get their hands on - it was the end of times. Entire buildings on East Middlefield road, Mountain View associated with the consumer/business sales of Netscape Communicator/Navigator were shuttered. The layoffs were apocalyptic.
I'll give it to Microsoft, they certainly cut off Netscape's air supply. Of course, as a result of their actions, The United States Government decided they had violated elements of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 - in particular tying, and that resulted in a decade of oversight that may have done them more harm than Netscape ever would have.
The Candle Plan is and will continue to be free! (All of the pricing on the website is just to give people an idea of what the pricing will be when we leave beta. It's not being enforced right now.)
Please pardon my security ignorance, but I can't understand why Gmail takes this action while accepting incoming email from unsigned servers. That is, I like to toy with out-of-the-box Postfix setups in VPSes, and Gmail (still) accepts messages from my test domains. (Well, maybe the first one gets flagged as spam, but still.)
Considering that I have taken no actions whatsoever to secure/sign my server, why does Google consider this legitimate? I find it inconsistent. Also, isn't DNS unencrypted in the first place? Is there something like HSTS for mail?
Thanks in advance for any help in clarifying this.
When I lived in the US I was puzzled to find, say, May magazine issues available in newsstands as early as mid April. Similarly, it seems not only acceptable, but indeed expected, for major companies to review the year before it's over.
Can Americans (or else) shed some light on this phenomenon?
Marking a magazine with a date in the future simply increases its shelf life. As for the year-end reviews, I assume people like to look back at a year toward the end and set goals for the new year at the start. Jan 2013, people don't care much for 2012 anymore.
