Seconded, also on Win7/Chrome and http://i.imgur.com/XSfw7.png is what I get. I've seen this font in use several places on the web (some popular tumblr themes use it) and it always looks horrible.
I'm now picturing mass transit via zeppelin with men in business suits repelling down ropes (rope in one hand and briefcase in the other) when the zeppelin goes over their work.
I don't think he said anything about the equality of the sexes. In the 1960's it was still widely understood to use the term "men" to refer to human beings in general in this kind of context. In 1964 there were certainly many women in the workforce, albeit not in the same kinds of roles men had.
"Man"/"men" is the neuter (unsexed) pronoun for people in English. "He" is neuter for all animate objects (animals and people), and "she" is neuter for inanimate objects.
I had never considered that English has genders for objects. Airplanes, ships, and cars can be feminine objects (by convention of calling them "she"), but I can't think of other (common) examples inanimate objects referred to by "she". My telephone is an "it", not a "she". Perhaps "she" only applies to anthropomorphic inanimate objects?
Nope, it works for anything. You don't have to anthropomorphize a boat to call it "she". Countries are also referred to as women in general. But these are all just defaults. You can use masculine pronouns for any object, boat, or country, if you want to emphasize some masculine traits.
I have taught (as a PhD student) similar material and this is no surprise to me. But then, is it realistic to expect undergrads to turn out a thoughtful piece on LTE and 4G comms? If it is a technical comparison, sure, but even if you don't plagiarise your sources what are you really doing? You're going to read some articles on the internet, form an opinion, and rewrite that stuff in your own words. So long as they are learning, what's the difference?
I don't really see the problem here. GoDaddy products can be had very cheaply, they are so cheap with coupon codes the probably potentially make very little per sale.
All insurance companies work the same way, try hard to get a new customer, milk them dry on the tail end because they are too lazy to search out a better deal.
This is good news. For geeks with their own domain for email the free apps accounts are great. The downside is that they are usually slow to rollout new services. Looking forward to trying G+
They already have this. Go into your Google Apps admin, go to "Organizations & Users", click "Services", and make sure Google Reader is turned on. Might want to go through and see what others you're missing while you're at it!
Huh? I've been using Reader with my free Apps account for about a year now. (Ever since they upgraded the Apps accounts to full fledged Google accounts.)
If you waste time re-inventing the wheel (eg. HTML forms auth) for your webapp you are just allowing someone else in your space to get competitive advantage.
These are solved problems (by frameworks) and decent developers should be spending time on better things.
Thanks for the comments. I was aware of most of the issues posted; its what I hoped was a minimum viable product.
The results links open with a js popup - would a regular link be better? just my concern is you'd navigate away from the search results if you left-clicked.
As for the .co - I can't afford a nice short .com right now, just need some funding to buy the .com!
