In a similar vein, actor Dave Foley's divorce: (nsfw language) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaC-2lj6HNg

video tldr: He on a show in the 90s and making $1 mil+, the show was canceled and he was without a job but stuck with the child support and alimony of $17700 a month, which can't be adjusted down per the law. He hasn't been able to keep up and doesn't can't go to Canada to see his kids for fear of being arrested immediately.


IMO child support should have a limit... What child needs over 25k a year? I live off of that today as a student... I feel that the other parent would take a large portion of that money for themselves.


Thank you for posting this. Truly shocking stuff.


Mapbox's Streets global basemap is ~240 GBs.

source: http://macwright.org/presentations/nodedc/#7


How much would Google have to drop the price to reverse the trend?

The plain old JS API would come to about $1000 a month for a site with 1 million map views. Mapbox (http://mapbox.com/plans/) meters by bandwidth but by my estimate (4gb map, low for a global map I know, and 1,000,000 views) it's still about $600.

Then again tilemill, tilestache, and leaflet are all free and work great once you get it going.


I've been using webcron.org for a few projects, works well enough, but my most important criteria is price for something this simple. It's really cheap, $0.00014 per request.


exactly what I'm after, thanks!


This was hard to read, I mean that about the actual readability of the article not the content. Here's my constructive criticism and simple css fixes.

The paragraphs need some line-height, it seems too much like a heavy wall of text, space it out a little.

.entry p {line-height: 1.5em;}

Black on white is hard to read for too long, something slightly less black can help.

.entry p {color: #222222;}

Maybe it's because of the way it renders on a Mac but that font isn't the best for long text. I'd keep it simple and just stick with sans-serif.

.entry p {font-family: sans-serif;}

after: http://i.imgur.com/nerMb.png

just flip between them a few times in separate tabs

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes, just trying to help.


Wow, thanks a bunch! We will certainly improve the CSS as you suggested..


I did something similar for my users' default avatars, randomly picking an image from a directory of a few thousand images I gathered and renamed sequentially. I just scoured deviantart.com for texture icon packs (usually 100x100px) that people seem to make for some reason, and threw them all in there. I spent a night quickly flicking through them and deleting anything exceedingly boring, too effeminate (majority pink/purple), or just lame. It hasn't gone public though, so I haven't experienced reactions yet.

stuff like these:

anyone else having problems with the pdf? it locks up anything I try to read it with past page 3.

- OSX 10.6.6, using Safari (inline), Preview or Skim.


We've fixed it. Please try again (using the same download link sent to you). Let me know if it still doesn't work for you (sorry for the trouble).


Working okay on OS X 10.6.7 in Preview (standalone) here.
