“So, yes, gen­er­ally speak­ing, it is a bad idea to use reg­u­lar expres­sions when pars­ing HTML. We should be teach­ing neo­phyte devel­op­ers that, absolutely. Even though it’s an appar­ently nev­erend­ing job. But we should also be teach­ing them the very real dif­fer­ence between pars­ing HTML and the sim­ple expe­di­ence of pro­cess­ing a few strings. And how to tell which is the right approach for the task at hand.”

The busi­ness world vs. academia.

“Two com­puter pro­gram­mers designed codes to fal­sify thou­sands of fake trade blot­ters and phan­tom records for swindler Bernard Mad­off and took hush money to help keep the mas­sive fraud going, U.S. author­i­ties said.”

“You can use these icons on any desk­top and web appli­ca­tions. Appli­ca­tion Icon Set inclides Reg­is­ter, Set­tings, Users, Data­base, Login, Chat, Add, Delete, Edit, invoice.”

“Broadcast.com co-founder and Dal­las Mav­er­icks owner Mark Cuban’s idea is sim­plic­ity itself: Just pay the top 1,000 web­sites a mil­lion bucks per to de-list them­selves from Google.”

“Cyber war has moved from fic­tion to fact, says a report. Com­piled by secu­rity firm McAfee, it bases its con­clu­sion on analy­sis of recent net-based attacks.”

“So basi­cally you would launch the Web Plat­form Installer, add an appli­ca­tion from the gallery and launch it on Microsoft’s Azure Cloud and that’s it. The appli­ca­tion basi­cally han­dles the data­base, fron­tend, and serv­ing in a mat­ter of min­utes.” Sounds really neat.

“The third iter­a­tion of the TinyTable table sort­ing script adds search, col­umn aver­ages and totals, record num­ber­ing, a view all func­tion, and a reset func­tion. At only 6KB it is still light­weight, quick, and includes all pre­vi­ous TinyTable fea­tures. Other fea­tures include alter­nate row high­light­ing, header class tog­gling, auto data type recog­ni­tion, and selec­tive col­umn sort­ing. If you don’t need the new fea­tures take a look at the sec­ond ver­sion of the script which weighs 2.5KB.”

Buzz­words make the paper.

“Sex edu­ca­tion pro­grams that advise stu­dents to delay sex­ual activ­ity while also offer­ing instruc­tion on ways to avoid unin­tended preg­nan­cies and sex­u­ally trans­mit­ted infec­tions effec­tively reduce risky sex­ual behav­ior, increase con­dom use and decrease spread of STIs, accord­ing to a Cen­ters for Dis­ease Con­trol and Prevention-commissioned report released on Fri­day, the Wash­ing­ton Post reports. The report said there is insuf­fi­cient evi­dence to deter­mine whether pro­grams that focus on absti­nence until mar­riage reduce the chance ado­les­cents will engage in risky sex­ual behav­ior, become preg­nant or con­tract an STI.” So let’s dou­ble check this com­pre­hen­sive sex ed pro­grams work, absti­nence first or only no evi­dence to see if they are effective.

“What if there was a back­wards com­pat­i­ble way to trans­fer all of the resources that are used on every sin­gle page in your site — CSS, JS, images, any­thing else — in a sin­gle HTTP request at the start of the first visit to the page? This is what Resource Pack­age sup­port in browsers will let you do.”

“Nope, sim­ply being gay is provoca­tive, abu­sive, and dis­re­spect­ful. Not bears in ass­less chaps, not rain­bow flags, not pub­lic make out ses­sions, not kisses, not hold­ing hands — thought crimes of a homo­sex­ual nature are enough. You know how many gays prob­a­bly go to the Vat­i­can to stare in won­der at the Michelan­ge­los and Berni­nis (who were prob­a­bly gay)? Maybe the Vat­i­can would be singing a dif­fer­ent tune if they real­ized how much money they’d lose from ban­ning every­one but upstand­ing, “moral” Catholics from visiting.”

“In the Evo­lu­tion vs. Cre­ation­ism debate, it is impor­tant to be able to spot all the log­i­cal fal­lac­ies that Cre­ation­ists tend to throw around. This essay cov­ers many bare essen­tials of log­i­cal think­ing, as well as ways to crit­i­cally eval­u­ate an argu­ment. The log­i­cal fal­lac­ies listed here are the ones most often used by Cre­ation­ists, although Cre­ation­ists have, to date, used almost every sin­gle log­i­cal fal­lacy in exis­tence to “prove” their case. Each fal­lacy will have its own lit­tle para­graph, describ­ing it, why it is fal­la­cious and how to counter it. Enjoy!”

” As it turns out, it’s not the idea of treat­ing gay cou­ples equally that both­ers most Amer­i­cans. It’s the name of the legal arrange­ment. Call same-sex mar­riage by another term—civil union, domes­tic part­ner­ship, everything-but-marriage, Qual­comm Sta­dium, Death Cab for Cutie—and they’re fine with it.”

“Tom pro­vides two pieces of evi­dence against Palin run­ning for the nom­i­na­tion. The first is that 2012 is a year when an incum­bent, Barack Obama, will almost cer­tainly be run­ning for re-election, and incum­bents seats are much tougher to pick up than open ones. The sec­ond is that Palin’s polling has gone some­what sour against her poten­tial GOP rivals, which might deter her from enter­ing. For starters, I’d some­what dis­pute Tom’s unspo­ken assump­tion that Palin is liable to be look­ing at this deci­sion through such a nar­rowly ratio­nal prism. Was quit­ting the Alaska gov­er­nor­ship — par­tic­u­larly in the sud­den and dis­or­ga­nized way that Palin did it — a deci­sion char­ac­ter­is­tic of some­one who care­fully pon­ders all the facts and cir­cum­stances before jump­ing to a con­clu­sion? Not hardly. Palin is impul­sive, impa­tient, ambi­tious, thrill-seeking: not the type of politi­cian to pru­dently wait for a bet­ter moment.”

“THQ has released Star Wars: Trench Run, a new game for the iPhone and iPod touch. It costs $4.99 and is avail­able for down­load from the App Store.” Do you need any other rea­son to own an iPhone.

“Greg low­ered the brim of his glasses fur­ther down his nose for empha­sis. “The stan­dard way of recov­er­ing pass­words is to send a user their pass­word, not to hide it behind a link! Here, let me show you how Google does things – pay atten­tion and please, keep an open mind.” While Greg surfed onto Gmail to go about reset­ting his pass­word, Michael could barely watch – the embar­rass­ment was too great. He thought that he had con­sid­ered every angle and that he here he was going to be proved out to be a fool. How­ever, he was saved at that last minute. In the email that Greg had received, Gmail sent a link enabling him to set a new password.”
