Poll: The third dimension

I went to see the new Harry Potter movie the other day, and predictably, the most convenient screening available at 9 PM on a Saturday night was a 3D one. I coughed up the extra cash, got my pair of goggles, and went in.
After the movie, I got to thinking....

Help us organize the next Stack Overflow conference

We?re working on a series of two-day Stack Overflow conferences for the fall:

?What?s this conference about? The idea for the original DevDays was to have high-bandwidth, intensive introductions to a wide variety of new technologies? the kinds of technologies that everybody wants to learn but doesn?t necessarily need to use on a project right now. Last time, it was things like iPhone development, Python, jQuery, Google AppEngine, etc. This year, we?re asking you. So far, there?s a lot of interest in DVCS, HTML5, and Node.js.?

 

Need to hire a really great programmer? Want a job that doesn't drive you crazy? Visit the Joel on Software Job Board: Great software jobs, great people.

Must be rough, but at least SolarCity's looking out for ya, as it'll soon install ClipperCreek's EV chargers in your digs, right alongside the company's residential solar equipment. The $1,500 SAE-J1772 compatible juicers will work with almost any plug-in vehicle we can think of -- including the Volt, Leaf, Prius plug-in, Focus BEV, iMiev and aforementioned Roadster (provided you'll spring for an adapter) -- and being of the Level II ilk, top-up your automobile 5x faster than a 120V plug. Pair that with a solar panel lease, and you'll apparently cut charging costs in-half -- according to SolarCity, anyway. We can't vouch for that, but if it doesn't work you could always try to install something just a tad bigger.
