How dpo they get the data? Do they have access to the firehose?


jazzychad, how do you get the data?


I definitely do not have the firehose. I get the data with already available API methods.


It's called football not soccer.


Correct. But we dumb North Americans need to make the distinction with the weird violent USA game, which almost everyone in Canada cares about, myself included.

Somehow, they convinced us it's important. I really want to know how they did that.


I'm sorry, that game is called "Grid Iron". The word "football" is reserved for Rugby League.

(Not to be confused with Rugby Union, which is "rugby" or Australian Rules Football, which is "footy". And definitely not soccer, which is "soccer".)


This is actually an excelent answer. If you can't dig it, you can't dig what the game is all about.


I'm in Luxembourg. So if you come by, let me know.


Virtual machines, anyone? :-)


I imagine the type of person who would install a random "Mac Codec" on their machine isn't going to start up a VM with OS X running to test it out, first.


No, I was more thinking about you installing it yourself on your Vm, then reinstalling it on anohter etc... thus cheating the system ;)


Does OSX work in a VM?


It seems so, but following the policy you'll have to host your vm's over an OSX server edition.


It's only logical to conclude that Chrome standalone must run at least 8 times faster than Internet Explorer 8? Otherwise their gui would be much slower.

Why wasn't there a post about this before? This post must be complete bullshit.


I'm never interested in women working in the same profession than I'm working in, having the same views, etc... I don't need someone to acknowledge everything I say. I can do that myself.


I read more on the internet than just tech stuff, and those are interests I'd like to discuss with the people I spend a lot of my time with. What do you plan on talking to someone about if not shared interests?

What heuristic would you use to find people who would complement your views rather than reinforce them? It doesn't sound like an easy problem to solve. Looking at what someone reads does give a good indication of what their views are, but that's not how you have to use it. You can just use it as an indicator of a general interest in politics, for instance.


I don't need someone to acknowledge everything I say.

Then why are you posting this to a social news site?


If you can't afford it, sell it :-)


Or lease it ...


or stop being a pussy and fight for your rights.

I bet there are some laws against raising prices that way for continued services and rentals. I know that in Brazil there are.


If your startup participates in Microsoft Bizspark, you can use every Microsoft software for free for 3 years.


It is of little interest to me because I have never used the Microsoft stack, but if your startup does, Bizspark is the deal of the century and comes highly recommended by some of my developer friends.


I never knew that exists. Thank you very much for this.


They couldn't charge that much consultancy time then ;)


They could also use the bus and talk to people.

If they don't show up, they should pay the price!
