Named return parameters are awesome, but it still doesn't eliminate the need for reference parameters. - Gabe

"These vibrant trays from Zankou Chicken has Beck singing their praises and the Los Angeles Times contending that there's "no better chicken anywhere." As the fast food industry continues to expand, catering to more health-conscious foodies, Southern California chain Zankou Chicken is redefining the concept with its fresh Mediterranean cuisine. Renowned for its roasted chicken and pita bread baked on the premises, the chain also offers hummus, shawerma, falafel and a variety of kebabs, using 100 percent fresh products -- no cans, freezers, microwaves or preservatives -- and only the "finest ingredients." But it's the secret Lebanese garlic sauce that's got Southern Californians hooked, a zesty combination of garlic, olive oil, lemon and potato, for texture, that has customers dipping in just about any item on the menu -- and proving that fast food may rise above the typical greasy-spoon burger joints of the past." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

"That’s the intention. And no, it’s not breaking the syntax, since I made it up! To better understand the role of the slasher, consider this: [meat] / [meta] The idea is to separate the metadata from the post content, that’s all. All additional slashes doesn’t increase the amount of meaning — it just crowds the content." - Chris Messina

In a last-minute dissent ahead of a critical war cabinet meeting on escalating the Afghan war, US Ambassador Karl Eikenberry has cast doubt on a troop escalation until the Afghan government can address corruption and other internal problems. Meanwhile, a report reveals how the US government is financing the very same insurgent forces in Afghanistan that American and NATO soldiers are fighting. Investigative journalist Aram Roston traces how the Pentagon’s civilian contractors in Afghanistan end up paying insurgent groups to protect American supply routes from attack. - Eric Logan from Bookmarklet

"My cofounder Steve tried to hire me for a videogame startup. I ended up hiring him for my compressed air energy storage startup. He brought on Ed, a partner he worked with more than two decades ago; they created a startup, Cubicomp, that produced the first ever 3D graphics software running on a PC. It ran on an IBM XT. We've all switched back to physics/engineering from more of a software focus through our careers." - Danielle Fong

"Three months ago, Robert Cameron was hanging out of a helicopter taking pictures of Lombard Street. That was the last flight for the indefatigable "Above San Francisco" photographer who died Tuesday at his home in Pacific Heights. He was 98 and in the midst of his last show - "Environmental Journey: Robert Cameron's Aerial Photography of our Pacific Rim," which is on display at the Metreon in downtown San Francisco. "He just wore out," said his son, Tony Cameron." - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

Wasn't he taking pictures until his death? Around age 90 or so? CHAMP. - RumNose

Ivan (pronounced ee-VAHN) Makarov is a Bay Area photographer that I have admired and loosely worked with over the past year. He strikes a balance of discipline, curiosity, and variety in his work; possibly a function of his continual pursuit of decency. Although stoic in facade, I think Ivan is constantly inserting emotion into his photography. I wanted to probe a bit on a few fronts of his style and inspiration. Read on… - Ivan Makarov from Bookmarklet

nice Ivan. Congrats! - Thomas Hawk

Absolute congrats, Ivan. This is one of my favorites and gives me the "willies" every time I look at it. Your subject is certifiably nuts! - Roger Loewen

Nominated, gladly. - Skyler Call

Using the comments section below, tell us what albums or songs you think should be included." - Michael W. May from Bookmarklet

I remember in 2001 when I first heard The Strokes album "Is This It"? It's low-fi griminess really caught my attention as it sounded like nothing else popular at the time. Go back and listen to that album now and compare their sound to the music that is being put out today nearly 10 years later. - Steve

More than anything I was disappointed in how Gylfie bullies Nee and especially how he threatens to turn his name over to the FBI to have him detained and inconvenienced in the future simply because the officer has the power to put his name on a list. As photographers we should not be subjected to this sort of harassment by law enforcement. Using 9/11 and terrorism as a bully pulpit is no excuse. It is simply not illegal to photograph subways. This video should make you mad. Abusive cops like Gylfie don’t deserve to wear the badge. - Thomas Hawk

It's very simple. If an officer stops you and begins questioning you, ask if you are under arrest. If the officer says no, then ask if you are free to leave. If he says no, then stfu and demand a lawyer. If he says yes, then leave his immediate presence, promptly, and go about your business. If he stops you again, repeat. - April Russo (app103)

"It's becoming a little difficult to find a home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright on the market, so why not add a bit of his style to your existing place. With individual serial numbers, Wright's signature engraving, and a price to match, the Frank Lloyd Wright Sofa ($6,500) and Recliner ($4,500) feature the tasteful restraint, clean lines, and expert craftsmanship you'd expect from a product carrying Wright's name. The master architect designed these officially-licensed pieces in 1912 for the William B. Greene House in Aurora, Illinois; these pricey reproductions are made from solid oak, with a walnut stain and caramel leather upholstery." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

One of his houses was on the market not far from me last year. Oh, if only I had the $2.6 million... - Bren, Photophobe from iPhone

"A giant step has been made in what will be the world’s largest renewable energy project. While previously just a grand vision for the production of clean energy in the Saharan desert, the project now has a core group of backers and a signed agreement between 12 companies wanting to move forward with the $555 billion renewable energy belt." - Bo Stern from Bookmarklet

1. Because making things better requires more than just an awareness of how things suck? 2. The resources required to update archaic file systems, etc. are resources which could be used in an alternate manner, and people do chose to use those resources on some other goal. 3. Because there is fortunately no "we" that can just put it's foot down and say "Everyone - update your archaic file systems and switch to this UI, or you will feel our wrath!". There's a few possibilities. - SuezanneC Baskerville

Well I guess we answered one of your original questions. We end up with bad technology sometimes because there are big, powerful, companies who have a vested interest in and profit off it. Microsoft certainly isn't the only one, they've just historically been the best at it. - Ed Millard
