http://www.protocolostomy.com/2008/11/21/help-me-pick-a-new-feed-reader/ asks Hoosgot,
I’ve been using Google Reader since it was created. I really love the *idea* of Google Reader. I like that scrolling through the posts marks them as read. I like that you can toggle between list and expanded views of the posts. I like that you can search within a feed or […]

Eddig a hír, elég sok plakát jön mostanában szembe velem ezzel kapcsolatban. Az Astoria környékén viszont már egy egész plakátot se találni: Beza, rovásírásos firka. Azoknak, akikne …

http://blogamundo.net/dev/2008/11/21/unicode-script-property-and-javascript/ asks Hoosgot,

This actually exists already in Perl regular expressions, where you can just […]

Marketing FIOS

November 17th, 2008 · No Comments

http://www.noahbrier.com/quickies/2008/11/marketing_fios.php asks Hoosgot,
