Is it a new shirt? It could be the washing powder, sometimes it's allergenic. In that case wash it yourselves and try again!

Has anyone found a good clip-on night light for the #Kindle? I see the XtraFlex2 mentioned lots, but it seems huge on pictures.

Et ça marche bien le FedICT? Pas trop de foirages dans les sites gouvernementaux?
Wow, very impressed with http://jailbreakme.com/. This is quite the scary security hole. Is the iPhone the new Outlook?

I find that I can't switch between JS and other languages anymore (in my case, Perl). I've gone for JS everywhere.

Grands dieux! Une refonte du site de la SNCF. Comme dhab, c'est juste différemment raté. Ils n'ont toujours pas entendu parler d'ergonomie.

A sentence you don't want to read: "Note that due to ambiguities in ISO 8601, some interpretations had to be made."

Replying to @graham_steel

SNCF is indeed bad, thankfully it's being opened to competition so hopefully an alternative will emerge (CapitaineTrain?)

Replying to @lhirlimann

Oui, tous les autres pays européens ont de bons sites de train — nous on se farcit la SNCF...

Replying to @SNCFConnectTech and @Yaelle_VSNCF

Pourquoi ne pas faire réaliser le site par des professionnels plutôt que de renvoyer les gens vers un forum?

Replying to @SNCFConnectTech and @Yaelle_VSNCF

La plupart des pays UE ont des sites de train utilisables — pourquoi cet acharnement de la SNCF à être la risée de tous?

Is there a bullet-proof way of deep-cloning an object in Javascript, or is it hopeless?

Replying to @jigso

Thanks. You don't seem to be testing for circular references, though, right?

Privacy-preserving device APIs — that's *really* interesting! You should send your intern to DAP :)
Coding for NodeJS with loads of GitHub dependencies is fun in much the same way that taming wild dragons is.

Replying to @tim_smart

Indeed, but it's not just that, it's also the number of things one ends up using that aren't quite "polished" just yet :)
Bah, I go off on vacation and come back to find that Connect has completely changed its API. Discouraging, really...

If it's webkit only, isn't it just a "webkit project" rather than "web"? ;-)

Ta, I'll give it a try!

Replying to @brianleroux

Sadly, I have. And NetFront too! But there are alternatives to WebKit anyway!

Yes, I'm afraid her non-verbal negotiation skills show an early mastering of game theory, too.

By Web Services stack do you mean SOAP, WSDL, and all those dead technologies? Woah. Makes sense though.
@michaelhkay The Saxon zip puts its content in the same directory, instead of creating a saxon/ to put it in. It's annoying! ;-)

Your link came our all starred, was that on purpose or was it somehow so NSFW that Twitter stepped in? ;)

Replying to @hsivonen

Is it me or is the Mac experience getting worse in terms of system stability? I used to have far fewer of these problems.

Replying to @hsivonen

It doesn't change question 7, either.

@ZeFML Tu te trompes, Ségo a toujours été notre Balladur de gauche.
Is there a way to turn off Word's belief that it knows better than I which white space I wish to select, to delete, etc.?
Also, is there a way to convince Word that a deleted footnote has really been deleted and that it can number the others without it?
Every time I open Word I am fascinated that no one has managed to produce something better, and that MS doesn't ever seem to fix bugs.

Replying to @brianleroux

I wish man, I wish. But for this project, I have little choice. It's entirely non-technical.
In Word, smart quotes apparently means "you can only have open quotes, unless you type it seventeen times to get a closing one"
