According to wikipedia, the julian calendar already had 31 days for august so the explanation of the article doesn't seem to be correct.

Re:Google’s Web Search Quality. A picture is worth a 1000 words
on Saturday March 03, 2012 @06:48PM (#3661468)
I just tried this with a different movie in mind. The results are pretty interesting, but see for yourself:
http://www.google.de/search?q=the%20film%20where%20a%20house...
http://www.bing.com/search?q=the+film+where+a+house+is+flyin...
http://duckduckgo.com/?q=the+film+where+a+house+is+flying+wi...
If you get the same results as I do, you should find the correct answer as duckducks first answer and bings 4th one. Google's first page of search results has no reference to the correct answer (though in the picture search the first one picture is from the movie).
I use google day in day out. Maybe I should overcome that habit :-)

Re:Ask HN: Please explain this open-source 'laws'
on Wednesday May 18, 2011 @07:33AM (#2559772)
In general I would say yes. But for a definitive answer you should clarifiy:
* which open source license the original gem author chose
* "edit it and launch it as a gem": do you want to distribute the modified gem (e.g. upload to github)?

Looking at Japan you can estimate where it was hit by the tsunami because of the lack of pings.

I realized that - but will this "feature" be avaible after midnight?

If this is a joke, it's a damn good one. Otherwise, it's a cool feature :-)
