In chrome, right click on the tab and click mute.
Annoying that it is hidden though.

From their site:
You can pass other info in the outputs hashes, like labels, your own ids, or whatever. That extra info will be passed back to you in the response JSON.
So I assume it is a case of emailing them and asking for an exhaustive list of what can be passed to their api, the documentation definitely needs work.

Quite simple, I rewrote a medium sized app in about a day, and actually fixed a few things too.
I found it really easy to upgrade from either rails 2.3.x or merb.

I'm unaware that the wage for a PM is the main motivating interest for most, in this case David Cameron being I assume at least moderately wealthy, the comparison is flawed I feel.
I don't agree that paying MPs more would create an environment for less corruption, I have so far seen little restraint in human greed, and even those at the very top of the pay scale are not above eking more out of the system.
What would help with corruption, would be a more open lobbying system, restrictions on the jobs MPs can take after leaving parliament and ensuring members of the cabinet cannot be employed when they have obvious biases, a former oil company head being minister for energy for example.
Also as is obviously the case in many industries, Health and Social Care being one, the private sector model does not always make sense.

By what measure is 65k a small amount of money, from what i remember the average wage in the uk is ~26k, and many full time workers earn much less than this.

notifications in IOS need to be completely redesigned, they are terrible at the moment, and trivial things can completely interrupt a tweet/game/email.
