Your example is incorrect

"transparency: 1" != "opacity: 1"

We use transparency in the US. Transparency is how much light passes through an object and Opacity is how much it blocks.

so:

"transparency: 1" == "opacity: 0"


Funny enough, the example is ambiguous since:

"transparency: 0.5" == "opacity: 0.5"


Yeah, when I caught that, I thought that it might just be semantic trolling! (a terrible variant)


ooohh, devious!


If you ask what the difference is between ‘transparent’ and ‘opaque’, most people will answer correctly. If you append –y, people somehow get confused.


You'll probably also want to add the following to serve the already compressed assets

    gzip_static on;


Did you guys look into exporting your data from mysql to postgres with taps? (http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/taps). I've done this many times and it's been pretty simple.


We tried taps but it wasn't working for us and Craig Kerstiens, Heroku's Django guy, told us to use the pg:backups approach instead.


Does that work with passwords?


Yes, works as expected.


1. Yes

2. Just use the "rake resque:work" task and I recommend using something like upstart that works awesome, but I have also done it with monit and both work great


This is an exact copy of http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-awk1.html?..., not sure who's copying who...but the article on IBM is from July 2008


Funtoo is Daniel Robbins site and the article you've linked is credited to Daniel Robbins as well.

Really nice introduction to awk. I've been meaning to dig a bit deeper into it and this is straightforward and easy.


Also, from the right side of the page: "This article was originally published on IBM developerWorks."


try http://pickfu.com/, it's what we've used before
