Check out OctoberCMS. The simplicity and ease of use of PHP while being a very modern and stable platform to build one. Disclosure: I'm the community manager :)

I agree with this 100%. When you sit down and think about it, there are a lot of major projects used all over the world with just a few developers working on it, volunteering their time.

I would also love nothing more than to work on my open source project (OctoberCMS) full time too, but gotta pay the bills somehow.

Or your Macbook Pro if it originally came with an HDD. Apparently the device orientation API can utilize the triaxial accelerometer that Apple used for drop detection. Really neat experience tilting my laptop around like a mad man.

If you read the transcript you'll notice that they are mentioned, along with Vapor

Depends on how you set it up. I usually use the RainLab.Pages plugin to have a nice interface for clients to manage page content instead of having them use the CMS editor.

I'm looking forwards to the frontend editing component that's coming to October soon, it should make client interaction with the site much nicer.

With all the discussion around other decent options for Content Management Systems, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned OctoberCMS (http://octobercms.com/) yet.

It's an awesome, highly extendable, very clean CMS to work with as a developer. Based on Laravel, it's also open source: https://github.com/octobercms/october

It gives you all the power of Laravel with some very nice features built in that make developing for it a breeze. Runtime extendable classes, event listeners, Twig templating, and an AJAX framework for interacting with the PHP side of your code are just a few of the features that it includes by default; not to mention the rapid development experience empowered by the Form & Lists widgets.

Disclaimer, I'm a maintainer on the project :)

Does YouTube actually pay for music licensing though? It's users are the ones that upload the music, afaik all YouTube is responsible for is responding to takedown requests

Not to mention all the bird crap that gets everywhere. It got to the point where I'd only walk around Wascana when it was raining out to avoid them as much as possible

I've been considering applying to your company, any advice / comments about working for them?

I use a similar trick all the time, especially for vertically centering elements. Also, mine usually includes the various vendor prefixes for the browsers.

It's even more expensive to become a commercial helicopter pilot, closer to $100,000. And this is just in North America. In Japan, I believe the going rate for commercial pilot training is somewhere around ¥3,000,000

I'd apply for that job, 172s are all I have hours on

FYI: This reads like an antivirus advertisement for nontechnical users.

While I recognize that homeschooling is done by some because of their religious beliefs, and yes, some of those beliefs are pretty unusual, I would like to remind you that homeschooling is actually not 100% a cover for the nutjobs out there. I was homeschooled, and I'm now graduated highschool at 16. Homeschooling is a great way to avoid the mess and poor education that is public school, and in my experience with other homeschoolers, there aren't as many nutjobs as you seem to think. I apologize if I missed the point of what you were saying, but I wished to present an alternative view of homeschooling.

Very good story.

what

Because they can. They have a large userbase; being the only legitimate way that users can get apps for their iDevice gives them a monopoly on a huge market

Sometimes the simplest solution is still the best :)

That sounds plausible

Yes, and he was a glider pilot in the air cadet program which aided to his ability to properly land the plane without engines

This is true.

I would agree with that; my sister has a nice touchscreen laptop (~$1000) and she uses it for watching movies, tv shows, etc; mostly media based uses. She loves it and uses it all the time, so I would agree with you that it does depend on what the user will be using it for. Myself, as a programmer, and programming being what I primarily use my laptop for, I would find it unnecessary and I wouldn't pay extra to have it.

I was at that airfield last summer for a cadet course (I'm an air cadet) and I'll be going again this summer to get my glider pilot's licence; just like the pilot of the Gimli Glider did so many years ago! I can't wait!

Thanks for clearing that up. As I was reading your comment it seemed like you were of the opinon that online education is of less value than face to face. My mistake :)

Nope, I don't fit. Kinda narrow scope.

True. Out of the six or so I've made, only one actually gets used and updated regularly.

I update mine on a weekly basis and it works pretty well for that.

It's free to sign up for an account and start making sites with it, and you can easily transition to a paid plan after trying it out or even remian on a free one.

I'm one of those people using it for personal projects. I'm a member of a local air cadet unit and i use weebly to run a webste for the unit that is used primarily to communicate info with the other members of the program and the unit. Weebly is a fantastic tool and I enjoy all of the improvements tha you guys have been making!

Are you implying that online courses are less 'educational'? I ask because you placed educated person in quotes.
