Monopoly Killer: Perfect German Board Game Redefines Genre - http://www.wired.com/print...
This sounds like a fun game. In college all my buddies would come over and we would play a rowdy game of risk. Anyone up for doing the same?

The Best JavaScript Library - http://www.emadibrahim.com/2008...
Ray Grieselhuber liked this
I would have to say that I lean more towards Dojo. The feature set in Dojo is unbeatable.
- LiquidLag
Just out of curiosity what are your favorite Javascript Frameworks, and why?
- LiquidLag
I like YUI a lot
- alfred westerveld
I have to say I am a YUI guy too although LiquidLag is a right if you need the a more feature rich library you would be hard pressed to find one better than Dojo.
- John Daly
Ext.js or Prototype/Scriptaculous
- Andy Murdoch
I like YUI also, the base libraries have a better architecture and the extensibility points are easier to work with. Their libraries just make more sense from an OO perspective too.

Really glad to see this coming from MySQL. The benefits / features of cloud computing have to be available as local components before I would drastically alter my entire architecure (though there is no problem with "outsourcing" certain components to services like S3.

Certifications - May I See The Menu? | Javalobby - http://java.dzone.com/article...
Are certifications important ... I have seen many certified programmers that can't program a lick?
- John Daly
from Bookmarklet
I have been told by my recruiter that certifications don't mean as much as they did a few years after the bubble burst. Employers were looking for a way to determine who was serious about tech and who was just hanging on. Certifications were an easy way to do this but now a lot of those people have already been weeded out. I still think I would like to get the SCJP but it is not as much of a goal as it used to be.

Tablemate at benihana confided how he subscribes to Obama's mailing list and marks it all as spam to train Gmail. Urge to kill rising.
tim tate, Justin Mason, Frederick Akalin and 7 other people liked this
I honestly have to keep myself from marking them as spam, due to the sheer volume of mail I get from the obama campaign.
- EricaJoy
You know, I agree with that, Erica. I like Obama, I really do, but his email campaign is maybe a little too slick for me. And a little too focused on getting my money.
- Sia Stewart
But this guy was doing it specifically to train Gmail to put OTHER PEOPLE'S Obama mail into the spam folder.
- Kevin Fox
Okay, sorry to hijack your thread here, Kevin, but... Erica... Amen. I stopped giving out anything other than a disposable (e.g., spamgourmet) e-mail address on any "causes" web site. MoveOn -- which I now think is a pretty despicable organization for many reasons -- was particularly evil in this, obnoxiously flooding my inbox. Why are political and other organizations so clueless? If you send me 5-10 pleas for money or action EVERY DAMN WEEK, I'm going not going to support you with anything.
- Adam Lasnik
Obama my boy and everything like that, but I had to unsubscribe. I can follow him on FriendFeed or something. I told him calm that stuff down, but he just so passionate and all :)
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Maybe you won't, Adam, but someone else will. It's for the exact same reason that credit card companies send bulk mail advertising cards, or why the people at malls ask you to take surveys even though you always refuse. There is someone who will buy into it, and if they have to send all of that in the most annoying way possible to reach that buyer, they will.
- Michael Ryan
I don't get any of the emails you are talking about. Not a single one. :D
- Josh Haley
Just give in to the urge :)
- Alexander Kohlhofer
The guy is an idiot, because for every person that tries to train gmail one way there are people like me that click not spam to train gmail the other way.
- Vince
I agree with Vince. Trying to game the system doesn't work. Gmail most likely has a built-in mechanism to detect people like that.
- Voyagerfan5761
from twhirl
Gmail may not have such a system, or it may only kick in after trouble has already been caused. Anti-spam isn't _that_ smart!
- Justin Mason
Yeah, in regard to the Obamail aspect of this thread, I have to vent that getting an Obamail yesterday that promised that, if I sign up, I can get notification of who he has chosen as his running mate FIRST, BEFORE ANYONE ELSE..... it made me wonder if he was a presidential candidate or an Apple product.
