These guys screwed me over in exactly this way when I bought a car from them three years ago. I raised hell when the deal I was asked to sign was for ~$2k more than we negotiated, but they wouldn’t budge. I should have walked away, but it’s hard when they spring it on you at the last second after you’ve spent hours getting to that point. Before I left their lot, I pulled the license plate frames with their name off the car and made a show of throwing them in showroom trash can. I told them they had sold a car, but I would forever tell everyone I know how shady they were.
There was a time when you could identify the entire country of Cuba by the "accent" of their CW signals. For whatever reason, probably the popularity of certain homebrew gear designs there, most Cuban CW signals had a characteristic "chirp" due to the frequency shifting a little at the start of each dot and dash. That, and sometimes their average frequency would drift up or down the band, and you'd have to chase them around.
I had a lot of fun with radios as a kid (15--20 years ago). It was so magical to talk all across the world from your bedroom. Then this whole Internet thing happened. ;)
Try the command line program "enscript". It has many options that control the output formatting. For example, you can print pages in landscape orientation, two-up, with source highlighting and line numbers.
At this moment, 30/30 stories on the front page are about Steve Jobs. Has one story ever done that? Clearly, our loss is very widely recognized. We've lost a hero.
I don't have enough expertise in design to articulate why, but it seems to fall quite short of `cleaner and more modern.' Well, maybe it is a bit less '90s than the previous design, but I'd hardly call it clean and modern. The logo off to the left of the banner is odd, the different fonts and sizes aren't pleasing together, the columns of links seem like something you'd see at the bottom of a page rather than in the middle -- I could go on.
Why are PMs at technology companies often the corporate drone types that only pretend to add value by retweeting status from the people who really know what's going on? Without understanding, they play a destructive game of telephone and buzzword bingo.
Shouldn't engineers with leadership gifts lead more projects where engineering plays a major role? Am I being too engineering-centric to think that suitably gifted engineers could grok the non-engineering aspects of a project better than a spreadsheet pusher can understand the engineering component?
Edit: Oh, you can click through the image and see technical details. Very cool.
