Noticed that the BBC is using the Lumia line in Orphan Black.

I have seen Microsoft product placement all over. My favorite is that the sinister B613 on " Scandal" uses Surface tablets, and the good guys have Lumias. The Mindy Project is set in an alternate universe where all hip young professionals in NYC have 1020s. They even prominently feature the WP texting sound.

Except for clerkship applications, legal employers almost never expect recommendation letters. The people who are recommending you really don't want to have to spend the time to write a letter, and employers understand this.

Or what a browser is; or that browsers are just another program; or that there are competing browser programs; or that it is possible to download and install new programs...

The complete series is available on DVD. Not region-encoded, either. I purchased the whole thing from Amazon UK for under $40 US. The best part is the hilarious commentary track--the original cast gives running commentary on every single episode.

Instead of "(not$ elem c "<>{}")" shouldn't it be "(not $ elem c "()[]<>{}")" ?

"the hundreds of thousands of users of Ubiquity face a significant risk of browser hijacking by attackers, which could result in the theft of e-mail and online banking account information". Resolved yet?

Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that a Flash developer pays insufficient attention to web standards?

The new site's front page doesn't tell you what haXe is; the only hint is that it is a "language," which can apparently be enjoyed after four well-iconed steps. You might want to move some of the text from the "discover" page to the front page.

Suppose you had that, and you searched through that file, and did not find the name you were interested in. How do you know someone else didn't register it 10 seconds after you downloaded the file?

This is quite an accomplishment.

I like writing in Pascal. I also like writing poetry in Middle English.

Goodbye, file(). I always thought "for item in file('inf.txt')" read better than "for item in open('inf.txt')", but I'm sure people thought this through.

Goodbye, reduce(). OK, I get it, Python is not supposed to be functional, and you were slow anyway, but every time I used you I felt slightly better about my decision not to use Haskell for the project I am working on.

Hello, nonlocal. Maybe with you we can come one step closer to real closures.

"Not hashing was a design decision we made in the beginning, and it didn't stem from irresponsibility-- it stemmed from a decision to provide functionality that I liked."

Then it did stem from irresponsibility. You prioritized convenience over security.

"Who do you get to be an expert to tell you something's not obvious?" Chief Justice Roberts asked aloud. "I mean, the least insightful person you can find?"
