Facebook app now reads your smartphone's text messages? THE TRUTH
Lame excuse.
Why not have the user TYPE the code in, like everyone else does.
There is no need for Facebook to try and sneak this permission in under the excuse of user convenience.

Google stabs Wikipedia in the front
Visits to Wikipedia stalled.
Yeh, it's must be all Google's fault.
Nothing to do with the constant nag screens for donations (which were rolled out about the same time)
Nothing to do with the constant lowering of standards of content on Wikipedia.
Nothing to do with the rubbish visual editor they rolled out about the same time.

Windows Phone app devs, this is for you
Re: Well,
You called?
What is this Windows Phone thing you speak of? is it like Android, where I can get all the developer tools for free, and publish my apps with a one-off payment of $25 to a market of nearly 2 billion devices?
Android will ship more than ONE BILLION mobes+slabs in 2014
Re: all we need now
Go ahead, tuck in.
Don't you think it's already been done? If you really don't trust Google to not add extra NSA sauce in their precompiled binaries, then compile that source and load it onto a Nexus phone. Job done (apart from a quick trip to the shop to get a tinfoil hat).
iPhone, and he 5 Windows Phone users aren't so lucky....
Apple isn't the first choice for developers. Too many plebs still look to Apple for an app and then see if Android has it yet. That will give you a VERY skewed picture, one that appears like Android is always equal or last.
Take a look at Android apps and then see if there are Apple counterparts, and you get the opposite picture.
Sadly some people can't see that picking a platform and seeing if that app is available on another platform has a pre-baked outcome.
Microsoft tries to trademark 'Mod' in the US

That's what Microsoft Mod reminds me of. It's what Windows 8.x reminds me of too.
Handy that....
Android, Chromebooks storm channel as Windows PC sales go flat
Re: I don't get it
Because what the telly tells you and reality are rarely the same. Microsoft and apple have truckloads of money from previous glories allowing them to the truth. All I know is I don't know a single person that's bought a windows 8 laptop know plenty that bought chromebooks

Microsoft: Don't listen to 4chan ... especially the bit about bricking Xbox Ones
Re: I genuinely do not understand why MS made it so easy to brick.
I do. It took AGES to design the woefully inadequate thermal design that guarenteed locked in gamers would buy replacement consoles for that generation.
80m Xbox360 sales to 30m games is a marketing man's dream come true, surely?
They didn't bother this time, and just implemented EasyBrick (tm) in software,. Guess they had hoped they could keep it under wraps for 12 months, rather than 12 days thou.
Microsoft wields turkey knife, slices Surface to $199 for Black Friday
PS-PHWOARRR: We review Sony's next-gen PlayStation 4
hardware in ps4 supports it, but not the software
Guessing it will be along sooner rather than later. Dlna and mp3 are coming in a future update. Sony rightly focused on hardware and gaming
What this review didn't cover was the better media support in the UK. The ps4 has several key services the xboner doesn't. Bbc iPlayer and bbc sport, vidzone and tune in radio for example.
XBOX ONE owners rage as HDMI SNAFU 'judders' Brit and Euro tellies
Because it makes the Xbox One the "center of your living room" and they can analyse the streams and work out what you are watching and how to target adverts on the Xbox One dashboard at you better.
The Xboner is basically an Advertising platform that's pretending to be a media platform, that's sucks as a gaming platform.
Xbox One FAILS to beat PS3 - yes, PS 3 - week one sales
Re: All bogus numbers..Microsoft and Sony just lie!
Sony numbers are sold to consumers, not retailers, this was expressly mentioned in their press release. Microsoft didn't say, so you can expect the former.
Given there is loads of unsold Xbone stock both sides of the pond, but PS4 is sold out everywhere, it kinda rings true.
Microsoft touts SCROOGLE merch: Hopes YOU'LL PAY to dump on rival
Re: Google arnt stealing my data...
Google are very clear on the deal on offer. In exchange for non-identifable information that allows them to serve me targetted adverts (as opposed to untargetted), they give me the following cool stuff, for no money.
I'm more than happy with the deal, and under no illusions what I have given up in exchange for this.
Microsoft: Play hookey on Xbox One day - chug a dose of ZOMBIE FLU
Google goes looking for more GLASSHOLES
the cynicism displayed on here
Is because Microsoft and Apple don't have it yet.
Remember when PS3 had Blu-Ray and Xbox didin't? Blu-Ray was a trojan horse, and it didn't matter. No Microsoft have jumped on the last-gen specs with their latest console, Blu-Ray matters all of a sudden.
Expect the same, loads of piss taking until Microsoft and Apple have similar copy-cat products for sale.
Android in FOUR out of 5 new smartphones. How d'ya like dem Apples?
Re: Does this mean people will consider building Android apps first?
That's totally untrue. It's the media fault for telling you about the latest iOS app and then you go look for the android version. This will always be a sure fire way to fail.
Principia for example is currently android only and I bet you never heard of it...

Google tired of endless AGONY over alleged EU search biz abuse
Re: Yawn.....
Yawn, here we go again. It's THE search engine because it's the BEST search engine. Google maps are top of the rankings because they are the BEST maps.
Take one of Google's less popular offerings, say picture storage/search, and FlckR comes above it in the ratings, as it should.
Are you suggesting Google should be deliberately knobbled because it's too good for Microsoft to keep up, as that frankly mindset sucks ass.
Apple CEO Tim Cook v Microsoft's Ballmer: Seconds out, round two!
Cook and Balmer can say and do what they want.
Everyone I know it's buying either, they are buying Android tablets, be it Kindle, Nexus or £99 Supermarket variety.

Surface 2 MYSTERY: Haswell's here, so WHY the duff battery life?
No fair, you say.
perfectly fair. Windows 8 only really works for fondling (web/email/youtubecats/music), it fails abysmally for real worth.
Both an iPad and a Nexus will also do the aforementioned fondling tasks equally well at a quarter of the price (or an 8th of the price in the case of the Nexus 7).
When Microsoft decided to gimp Windows, they didn't understand they were cutting out the key area the PC was being used for, and sending them deep into the realms of what the £99 tablet was doing.
Total bozos.

Billionaire dumps Apple stock because Steve Jobs was 'really awful' guy
I pinned all my hopes on Apple with the cheap iPhone, and it's tanked, I can't say I think Apple stock is going to bomb, as clearly I am aiming to get top dollar for my shares, so I will make up some bullcrap story about selling my shares because Jobs was a bad guy.
OK then. When was the last time ANYONE ever heard of a moneyman having any conscience?
Tech specs wreck: Details of Google's Nexus 5 smartphone LEAKED over interwebs
The phone will be out in 3 weeks.
Any company that was really interested would buy one and take it apart? What have LG lost really? Nothing. They have the interwebz talking about the Nexus 4 2013 model, and that's what really matters.
In fact I wouldn't be surprised it this was the latest form of "phone found in bar", which got old a while back.

Fees for the professional photograph opportunities vary, starting at $30.

Interview: Just don't mention the Spam fritters: Tim Bell, PR guru, has fought a few battles in his time: for his heroine Mrs T, for David Mellor . . . and now he's taking the flak over D-Day
Tuesday 24 May 1994
This talent for self-deprecation, mocking himself and his work, has been missing in the torrent of words - most of them abusive - flung at Tim Bell these past 20 years. Not surprising that this element in his nature has been hidden: he hasn't given a newspaper interview for 25 years. So we only presume he's a total baddie, the cunning manipulator behind Margaret Thatcher, the conduit for captains of industry, the mouthpiece for foreign leaders as he tries to persuade us that deep down they are lovely human beings.
The latest rubbishing began when his firm was paid pounds 62,500 to advise the Government on next month's anniversary. It all turned - no, not nasty, funny really, when Dame Vera Lynn rose up against the idea of Spam fritter contests.
We sat down in his office, surrounded by framed newspapers. Actors have theatre bills. Footballers have medals. A bit harder for PRs to garner concrete proof of their existence, but he had managed a goodly number of headlines representing a triumph for his hidden art.
'I'll take my jacket off, if you don't mind, even though it will show how fat I am. You'll find me extremely unprecious. I don't take myself too seriously. Some people think that could be a fault. Of course there are days I do feel quite self-important, but really I haven't felt self-important since, oh, I was in my teens. So go on, ask me anything.'
Are you really an Australian? (It rarely pays to ask a hard question, first off.)
'My mother was Australian, I was born in London. My father was Irish, served in the RAF, then became a rep for Crosse & Blackwell. One day in Manchester he saw this man with a hump. He went up to him and said, 'Can I touch your hump?' The man said, 'That's most unusual, people don't normally comment on my hump. Would you like a job?' He turned out to be a boss of Pan Am Airways - and he gave my father a job in South Africa.
'While he was in South Africa, he turned to radio broadcasting. Remember Uncle Mac, on our radio during the war? My Dad became Uncle Paddy in South Africa. When I went out recently, to advise President de Klerk on his election campaign, I found that people still remembered Uncle Paddy. In fact, they knew more about him than I did. He left my mother when I was about four years old, but that's another story . . .' He does tell them well, our Tim, no wonder Mrs T found him so entertaining.
Age 52, brought up in north London, educated at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Barnet, good O- and A-levels, but decided against university. Seems strange, as his mother had remarried, to a solicitor, the sort of background where parents might insist on higher education.
'I didn't fancy university. They wore duffle coats, smoked pipes and liked trad jazz, whereas I wore Italian suits and liked modern jazz. I played the trumpet in a band, and did have hopes of becoming professional, but I just wanted to start work and earn some money.'
He began at ABC Television, on pounds 7 a week, then after two years moved into advertising, rising spectacularly through the ranks, becoming managing director and then chairman of Saatchi & Saatchi.
'I started on what was considered the down-market side, media buying, never on the creative side. Basically, I was a suit.' In his days as a Saatchi boss he was renowned for having his chauffeur drive him from the office in Charlotte Street to lunch at the Etoile - all of 200 yards away. True? 'Oh, absolutely true. I liked to use the car phone, and to be seen arriving with a chauffeur. As a kid, I always hoped I'd be the sort of person who could walk into restaurants and be well known.'
It was through Saatchi's work with the Conservative Party that he met Mrs Thatcher - then carried on working for her personally when he left advertising for PR. His company, Lowe Bell, is now the second biggest PR firm in the country, employing 160, and is worth pounds 20m. It is about to go public, which should make him personally about pounds 2m. This will be his second killing. He netted pounds 4m, pre- tax, when he sold his Saatchi shares. He has a splendid house in Belgravia and drives a Bentley.
'I'm not rich. I'm well off.' Do explain the difference. 'Rich people have more money than they can ever spend. Well-off people have enough to live well without borrowing.
'I'm a capitalist, always have been. The only problem until now is that I've had no capital. The Saatchi money went on the house and other things, some of them foolish, such as clothes.
'I wouldn't say I was obsessed by money. What has obsessed me is having a successful career.' Which you have, no question, so what's the secret?
'My only real strength is objectivity. I try not to bring my own opinions to bear on someone's problem. I'm a bridge between the maker of something and the market they want to reach. In advertising, you are using paid-for media. In public relations, you are looking for third-party endorsement. Advertising is controllable. PR isn't.
'One-third of the accounts are straightforward launches, offering opportunities. One-third is basically communication, keeping the name alive. Only the other third is what one might call people with problems.'
David Mellor had a problem and came to you - and ever since you have been mocked and criticised for advising him to have that photo opportunity with his family. 'He's a friend who asked for my advice. He couldn't use his Civil Service office, as it was a private affair. The tabloids had had a five-day extravaganza, in which things had been totally fabricated, pure invention, later admitted to be false. It was David's idea to have the family photo, to disprove something which had been said. I said it would look phoney, don't do it. But he decided he wanted it - and I agreed to help organise it.'
What about Sir Ian MacGregor, chairman of the Coal Board? Your firm is supposed to have got a nice fee for advising him to wear a light suit on television so his dandruff wouldn't show. 'Perfectly true, but of course we did a lot more, which was never known.' Well done. But surely now and again you make mistakes.
'Loads of times. I remember Colin Moynihan asking me about the Pamella Bordes story. I told him not to worry, it was only a one-day wonder. I got that completely wrong.'
It's also been said you worked to get Baroness Thatcher her consultancy with a tobacco company. 'I don't work for her. She is just a friend. Anyway, I think you'll find the story is untrue.'
OK, so untrue or unfair stories about you keep on being repeated. If you are so good at PR, why can't you handle your own better? 'Because sections of the press tell fibs.' Haven't you told the odd fib in your time? 'Yes, of course.' He paused. 'Let's say I've sometimes handled things badly, when I've been rung at 5.30pm, when a paper's going to bed, and been asked for a comment. I've also been economical with the truth, in the sense of not giving more information about a client than I need to.
'The thing is, being in PR, the press are out to get you, and they have become very malicious. They don't like the fact that I'm Sir Tim Bell, but I'm proud of my knighthood. It's a manifestation of Mrs Thatcher saying 'Well done.' Columnists like to attack PRs as trivialisers of modern life.'
Are you suggesting that PR is important? 'No. PR is not important to society, but it has a function in society. It doesn't make the world a better place, but it does serve a practical purpose. Advertising and public relations are bastions of free speech.
'I love journalism and journalists. The British press is still the best in the world. I've just had to be tough when they set out to get me, and not let it hurt, but it does hurt my family.'
He and his wife, Virginia, who is 16 years his junior, were married in 1988 and have two children, five-year-old Daisy and three-year-old Harry.
He was married before, but this marriage is not mentioned in Who's Who. Why not? 'I don't know.' Oh, come on. Must be a reason. 'I married my first wife when I was 23. After five years, we realised it hadn't worked out and we parted, but we remained friends. She died later of cancer. We had no children.'
Two years ago, he found he had cancer of the colon. 'I naturally blamed my life of self-indulgence, but I'm told it's genetic. I suddenly started getting the most awful stomach pains, lost a hell of a lot of weight, and then had internal bleeding. I won't go through all the tests and stuff. On one vital day, when I was supposed to eat nothing, I was invited to the banquet at Buckingham Palace for the Sultan of Brunei, one of my clients. I couldn't miss that. The doctors weren't very pleased.
'Anyway, I've had the operation and chemotherapy, and everything seems fine, though they say you need to live five years to count as clear.
'I was petrified at the time. When I lay in hospital recovering, I did plan to change my life. I haven't really. My biggest fear in life is still the same: boredom. But I do spend more time with my kids.'
Is Lady Thatcher still your heroine? 'Certainly. I have met some remarkable people in my life, but she was the greatest. She was in touch with the mood of the people more than any PM has ever been, and she freed the people from the burdens of the state.'
Right, the D-Day fiasco - sorry, account. You don't seem to have achieved much for your fee of pounds 62,500? 'Our price was very competitive. Others quoted three times as much.' But your ideas do sound a bit potty. 'What ideas?' Those I've read about.
'Oh God,' he sighed. 'Listen, the Spam fritters were suggested by the Royal Marines, not us. The idea of street parties was created by the Sun, not us. We were asked by the Government to interface with all the organisations involved and come up with ideas for 'commemorating and celebrating'. Note those words. Our title for the project was 'The Nation Gives Thanks'. I leave you to decide what that wording means.'
Have you been carrying the can for the Government? More sighs. 'The point of D-Day is that we are commemorating freedom from oppression, so I do think people should be free to commemorate as they feel best. People are also free to criticise me.'
Which they are, alas for poor Sir Tim. He is still a keen luncher, in all the best places, despite his operation, but in the past couple of weeks, boorish strangers have been heard to shout as he is led to his favourite table, 'How's D-Day?' Very annoying. For an amusing, unaffected sort of chap, only doing his best to do his job.

I will agree with the interface part. I find myself remembering mroe and more hotkeys, which makes everything easier and easier to do.
I thnk the thing that helped the most was discovering that you can dig across z-levels all at once too. It makes mineshafts with up/down stairs extremely easy to dig.

I'm taken aback by the overwhelming feeling in favor of the court's decision.
A patent only grants a temporary monopoly, a period required for the innovator to recoup the cost of R&D. In addition, the invention is published rather than kept secret. This allows other researchers to move the field forward.
A company won't invest in programmes that won't yield a ROI. No patents, no new therapies or diagnostics.
Robert Johnson
@Royal Ugly Dude
You are wrong. The current state of the patenting which you call "limited" is so muddled that it levies huge cost for companies on checking what is actually patent protected. In most cases, companies simply abandon a route of development as determining precise legal position and negotiating the licence is too costly, especially in terms of time investment.
DNA patents are failed juridical concept. Society which restricted freedom by granting patent-protected monopolies saw no benefits in terms of mass developing of new drugs.
Time to abolish DNA patents. Slash them to the root.
The same goes for most of so-called intellectual property. It became a costly hindering force in economic development. Especially that new economies like China which largely ignore Western overblown patents can outcompete Western companies bound by patents and licences.
While I appreciate scientists who decoded human genes for scientific research, I am shocked knowing that my "gene" is up for sale and grab by patents. It sounds to me like a part of my body and soul is owned by some guys, and it is sold for a lot of money.
What will the Holy Church say?
Ugh, I meant Bob from east of Seattle, not Genetic Shock.
Genetic shock, you're also reading "isolated" out of the claims. That's perfectly ok for a discussion board. It's not ok for an 88-year old Federal judge, who should recognize a straw man argument.
I read the court's decision another way. The decision points out that settled law in the United States says 'Patentable subject matter must be "markedly different" from a product of nature' ( p. 107 ). This has developed from 35 USC 101, which defines what is patentable material. It then goes on to discuss precedent of this concept. Some examples were patents on purified Tungsten, as well as the discovery of a form of Uranium. All were rejected on the grounds that Nature made the metals, not their human discoverers.
Similarly, the BRCA1/2 genes of the patents at suit were created entirely by Nature, not by their discoverers.
"The problem has mostly corrected itself."
Royal Ugly Dude, you're right. There are ways to attack these claims based on settled law. That's not what happened here. The judge used a baseball bat, not a scalpel, and there's no way that the Federal Circuit will uphold this baloney.
The patent claimed an isolated gene. The judge essentially read "isolated" out of the patent claim. This ruling has no chance to stand.
The problem here is not the patent system, but scientifically illiterate judges and organizations like the ACLU who don't think through the consequences of doing away with patents in biotech. The consequences are simple: innovation would be left to universities and government entities like the NIH. Would the BRCA tests have been developed by the government? At anything close to the speed that they were? Maybe, maybe not. I know where my bet is on the answer to that question. Before you get all giddy about invalidating biotech patents, ask yourself if you'd rather have privately-funded innovation continue, or you're willing to leave it all up to government.
This is a lot of hype. The patent office in its current examination and granting practices have severely restricted the breadth of these sort of patents. The problem has mostly corrected itself.
Anyone patenting a "gene" faces an examination process that will limit their claims in terms of diagnostic assay, specific disease and overall use.
Cool your jets all those with no background in science or patent law.
For an excellent essay on this topic by the late Michael Crichton, please go to:
and click on the appropriate link.
Links to the actual patents of this case are also listed.
You should certainly be able to patent a process for detecting genes, but the gene itself? No, that's too obvious to warrant a patent.
"... if we actually got to hear the side of a researcher in the field."
You did. I commented earlier. I post under my real name, the same under which I publish. You probably wanted to hear from a businessperson (who hold/held a patent). I am a very junior researcher and not an MD. Steve Warren, the chairman of Genetics at Emory University was a plaintiff in this case as were several other very accomplished and knowledgeable investigators. Also your assessment that computing in the field of genetics not being good for your friend is very wrong. With 2-10 gigabytes per run of DNA sequence data from a potential vast number of sources, bioinformatics will be king for the next few years.
-Kevin Viel
Does the patent of a gene mean that if I get the disease for which it is responsable that I can be sued for infringement?
Well ... dad gum.
I was planning on patenting the genes for nose hair, ear wax, chin wattles, and dog licking. Those suckers are MINE, man! YOU can't have them!
Sigh, there goes my corporate profit.
... That we'd try to claim patent ownership for creations of nature = patently silly.
How about this: if Myriad really 'invented' the cancer gene in humans and thus is the legal owner of it then Myriad should also be held liable for damage these gens are causing.
The current situation is really mind boggling. Patents have been introduced for a reason - to let the inventors profit on their inventions. Where is an invention here?
And BTW whenao - you will be relieved to hear that gene research is alive and well in all those other countries that do not allow gene patenting!
Clearly common sense has at last prevailed (so far).
But the history of gene patenting does show how important it is to have people from a wider intellectual background on the supreme court. It is silly to limit appointments to people with a narrow legal background who are not intellectually equipped to understand the natural world. There should be at least one doctor, one scientist and probably one historian. The issue is not their votes so much as their ability to explain the real world to their colleagues!
This discussion is not even a discussion because everybody is on the same side. I guess it would be different if we actually got to hear the side of a researcher in the field.
I don't know much about the subject but let me tell you. Those guys are really smart. They use ultra fast supercomputers to analyze these genes in order to find the one that causes the problem. It requires years of research and a team of very talented people. If you don't give them money they'll easily find a job in any hedge fund. Do we want that?
So patenting the dog or the giraffe would be really stupid as I read some people here suggested, that's because anyone can find a dog. But patenting a gene makes complete sense since it encourages these people to continue doing their job. The arguments that it's something available in nature sure sounds good, makes people happy but disencourages scientifical advance. A piece of land is also found in nature and people still have property rights over it.
May I dissent with everybody else here and hope that this new ruling fails.
I have some friends studying biological computing.
I guess they should give that up and work for Google now.

ColdFusion Vulnerability Used to Install IIS Malware
First let me point out that the vulnerability that was found has a patch that has been available since January of 2013. So patch your servers! While working on servers for our clients at CF Webtools, I found a nasty little Trojan that was slipped onto a client server that was stealing credit card information. I first read back about this type of attack in December 2013 from PCWorld - Attackers exploited ColdFusion vulnerability to install Microsoft IIS malware. The quick rundown is that an unpatched ColdFusion server allowed an attacker to slip a hidden IIS module onto the server (translate)
CFMobile Example – Taking picture and uploading to ColdFusion server
This post is reproduced from my post at my personal blog ramkulkarni.com. In this post I am going to show you how to create a mobile application using ColdFusion Splendor that can take a picture and upload the picture to CF server. This application uses Camera and File APIs. The application is very simple - it has two buttons, one to take picture and the other one to set URL where pictures are to be uploaded. You can set URL of the server before taking a picture or after, just before it is to be uploaded. Once the URL is set, it is (translate)
Language Enhancements in ColdFusion Splendor - Member functions
I started a series of blog posts on language enhancements and covered "Script support for tags" last week. Continuing on this, today I am going to blog about "Member function" that I hope should interest most of you. Before I get into the details of member functions, here is the list of language features: Script support for tags Member functions for CF data type/data structure Improved JSON serialization Easy to use CF functions for Query tag Elvis operator (?:) Promoting built-in CF function to first class Miscellaneous new functions: QueryGetRow, ListEach and others. ColdFusion predates object-oriented programming (OOPs) and hence (translate)
New CF Mobile Project - Templates
You might be hearing about the mobile story in CF11, well yes, that is Huge. And if you haven't tried it yet, you are definitely missing a lot. Go on, try it but wait, don't you need a getting started tutorial. I bet you don't, only if you know that ColdFusion is providing templates for mobile project. Yes, you heard me right, templates. Isn't that great, you will get pre-baked code for your application. If you know what kind of application you want to create, just chose a template and wow! your application structure is ready. Alright, so now if (translate)
My ColdFusion Bugs - visualized
One last blog entry before I enter Mardi Gras oblivion. Earlier this week I had logged into the ColdFusion bugbase and noticed that I had over 500 bugs in the system. I thought this was kinda cool and I was wondering if I could see aggregate data about my bug reports. Knowing that this was an Ajax application, I opened my dev tools and looked at the request. Here is the URL (I added some spaces so it would wrap): https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm? event=qHome&page=1&pageSize=25&gridsortcolumn=&gridsortdirection=ASC& _cf_nodebug=true&_cf_nocache=true&_cf_clientid=89DF20803129085712725A599228C03B&_cf_rc=0 Notice the page size variable? On a whim I changed that to 600 and it worked. Note (translate)
CFMobile Example – Using Geolocation APIs in ColdFusion Splendor
This post is reproduced from my post at my personal blog ramkulkarni.com. I was going to cover a use-case of taking picture in a mobile app and uploading it to ColdFusion Server in this post, but I found some issues in packaging an app that used Geolocation APIs when helping someone and thought that I would cover geolocation first. This sample application is very simple - it gets your current location and displays a marker at that location on the Goole Map APIs. Here is how the application looks - BTW, the screen shot is of this application running in (translate)

Using The Timeout Attribute With CFHttp In ColdFusion To Limit Blocking
By default, when you make a CFHttp request in ColdFusion, the tag will block the current page request until the CFHttp tag returns a response. Most of the time, this is what you want. But, if you're dealing with a non-critical request (such as a 3rd-party "event" API), it can often make sense to prevent as much blocking as possible. In such cases, you can use the Timeout attribute of the CFHttp tag to minimize the amount of time the calling context will wait. The Timeout attribute will ... Read More » (translate)

The Elvis Operator vs. IsNull() In ColdFusion 11 Beta
In the beginning, ColdFusion gave us isDefined(). Then, structKeyExists(). And, as the concept of "null" started to become a first-class concept, ColdFusion delivered unto us isNull(). Now, with ColdFusion 11 Beta, we have the "elvis" operator - ?: - so called because it looks like a well-coiffed emoticon. In the past, we have seen differences between isDefined() and isNull() ...

there are approximately 1,013,913 words in the english language but i could never string any of them together to explain how much i want to hit you with a chair.
- If I say "no" to someone and they get angry, this does not mean I should have said "yes."
- Saying "no" does not make me selfish.
- Although I want to please the people I care about, I do not have to please them all the time.
- It is okay to want or need something from someone else.
- My wants and needs are just as important as those of anyone else.
- I have the right to assert myself, even if I may inconvenience others.
Saying no to people especially friends is something that is very hard for me, though I am working on it. This is a good list. I think I'll print it out and hang it on my fridge.

BOOK REVIEW: 'Solar'
It is occasionally said that physics is a discipline for the young. Sure, a physicist may make fruitful scientific contributions throughout his life, but only in youth, when the mind is at its nimblest and most audacious, will a moment of true genius emerge.
BOOK REVIEW: 'The Infinities'
Were it not for one magnificent twist, the premise of John Banville's new novel would almost be banal. A man lies dying, suspended in a coma between life and death, while his friends and family gather to pay their final respects. This we have seen before. It's the marvelously inventive twist, however, that takes what might have been a piece of formulaic melodrama into the realm of comedy, though Mr. Banville's comedic sensibilities are decidedly dark and subversive here.
BOOKS: 'Love and Summer'
A summer love affair, a rural Irish town, a collection of characters scarred by traumatic pasts — how easily could a novel with these elements descend into sentimentality or melodrama. Yet here is the venerable William Trevor taking this familiar material and transforming it into a work of such depth and elegance, that we feel his story has never been told before.
