Re:Click Frenzy's failure to launch

I find it staggering that something that has attracted national attention, with so many big name, class A retailers behind it has failed so badly.
The people running the site have known that a mass of traffic would be visiting the site at 7PM, and it has crashed under the load.
This is the equivalent of advertising a national sale and telling people to turn up at 7, and locking the doors. Unbelievable.

Computer Glitch brings Melbourne traffic to a standstill
Traffic is at a standstill in Melbourne , Australia. A computer glitch has shut down the automated traffic signs, and in turn caused the closure of main tunnels and traffic routes. What's worse, they still don't know what is causing the software glitch!

I've been wanting to get a kindle to read ebooks instead of hard copy for a while, but my eyes don't hold up for long when reading from any type of screen.I know the kindle uses e-ink which i've read about , but I wanted to get the opinion of others that may experience eye strain when reading from devices, and if they've had success with any of these readers!
dont like the white background. at all.

Re:H - The surprising truth about heroin and addiction
on Monday August 13, 2012 @12:34AM (#4374588)
I think addiction has less to do with the 'drug' and more to do with the person. Be it heroin, pain killers, sex, gambling, smoking, or alcohol segments of society are able to use these in a way that does not interfere with their own life or those of people around them.
There are also people who use these as a means of escape or have limited coping resources. It is not that the cigarette is bad, or the pain killer is bad, or sex is bad.
In saying that, having a methadone dispensary four doors down from where I am sitting, I see first hand the obvious effects of drug addiction and how people struggle to escape it's grasp.

Attempt to make contact with every single person that cancelled. Catalog their concerns, there will be patterns. This that aren't glaringly obvious to you but are visible to the customer. Address those concerns with existing customers to stem the flow. Adjust. Rinse. Repeat.

Oh good yet more comments about why PHP is trash and how your intelligence and social status are dictated by what language you are using. I almost don't click on posts about programming languages any more. Yet here i am, commenting..

I remember hacking the Novell netware setup at my school, and being surprised to see how poor all of the teachers passwords were. Almost all were children's names or street names. And the system admins super password? The name of a well known department store :)

Used to love winamp, it was the only think used to play media. Until it got so bloated. Imagine it had a simple, clean interface and loaded lightning fast. I would never use anything else.
