If your gatekeepers (recruiters, HR, managers, etc.) are making decisions on the basis of unflattering photos on social networking sites, then you're doing it wrong. - Ethan Jewett
Javascript port of the Gruff graphing library for Ruby. I was fiddling with this for a while. It's always nice to see someone do this work better than I could have! - Ethan Jewett
"One question for Ear-a-round is whether it can be made cheaper than fencing. At $600 a cow, that is not obviously yet so. Dr Rus, however, is working on getting the price of the hardware down to the $100 that farmers will pay. Meanwhile Dr Anderson is about to start working out how many cows actually need to be fitted with Ear-a-rounds to control an entire herd. He hopes that, by identifying a herd’s leaders and fitting out them alone, this number can be reduced to a handful." - Paul Buchheit

That's just calling out for a good WiFi hotspot caption, but I've got nothing. - Ken Sheppardson
Of course, once you put this thing on the head of a herd leader all the other cows will laugh at him. Maybe it can be concealed under a top-hat. - Ethan Jewett

Oh. I pictured virtual cows mooing 'en garde!' - Andy Wibbels
This is less sophisticated technology than an iPhone. I'm sure with an AT&T subsidy they can get the cost to $199 per cow (with 2 year contract). Seriously, though, this has other implications -- changes in movement could be provide diagnostics for cattle illness (moving slowly, not roaming as far, etc.), or telemetry could be added (temperature, heartbeat)... whole "cattle drives" could be conducted over the web... at least until the hackers break in and steer your herd onto an interstate... :-D - Karim
Paul - lol "just like people." so there are cow "influentials?" - Karim
Makes sense to me. Far better to have this type of thing in the contract. Currently, we just have mysterious service stoppages, which are a lose/lose. Of course, they'll have to provide a way to monitor usage, just like cell phones. - Ethan Jewett

@esjewett ok, but ask them also to ADVERTISE it - say loudly and proudly WE HAVE LIMITS FOR YOU! ;) - silpol
I got blacklisted by my previous ISP for breaching an 80gb download limit, described in the smallest of the small print. *Clearly articulated* usage policies, limits and penalties can only be a good thing for consumer. - Andrew Terry
:-) Well, this happened to me as well. It's a diferent URL, though, so I guess all you need is change it (from lastfm.fr to last.fm) - Terence Reis

I sort "All items" by auto. I put my favorite feeds in a folder and sort that folder by oldest. I sort the other folders by newest. Sorting everything by oldest can be a problem if you have 1000+ unread items; you'll never catch up with the latest updates unless you spend most of your time hitting "J". - Eddie Awad
