Never mind that null or a negative argument is an assertable precondition that could never happen in production anyways.

In fact, if I'm feeling brave, I would go as far as to suggest that if a scientist is unable to do this, it is an indication that he or she does not understand the topic him- or herself."
I live without cash – and I manage just fine | Mark Boyle | Environment | guardian.co.uk 2009-10-30 (#)
-> In six years of studying economics, not once did I hear the word "ecology". So if it hadn't have been for the chance purchase of a video called Gandhi in the final term of my degree, I'd probably have ended up earning a fine living in a very respectable job persuading Indian farmers to go GM, or something useful like that. The little chap in the loincloth taught me one huge lesson – to be the change I wanted to see in the world. Trouble was, I had no idea back then what that change was.
-> One of the critical causes of those symptoms is the fact we no longer have to see the direct repercussions our purchases have on the people, environment and animals they affect. The degrees of separation between the consumer and the consumed have increased so much that we're completely unaware of the levels of destruction and suffering embodied in the stuff we buy. The tool that has enabled this separation is money.

-> By the time my Apple arrived, I had become a basket case with my notebooks and pencil. When the machine was hooked up, I was ready to play all night. I followed the instructions to the letter, but I couldn't get into BASIC. I kept getting stuck where the instructions said "Type CONTROL B and press RETURN." I must have typed CONTROL B a hundred times, but nothing happened. Finally I abandoned the instructions and began experimenting. It was then that I noticed the key marked CTRL. Remember, I had never used a real computer before. I had only imagined it. Instructions that come with computers should be written for people who can only imagine them. What they should have said was, "Press down the key marked CTRL. While holding it down, press the B key. Now release these keys and press the key marked RETURN."

Dirty Little Secret of Success – Jeffrey Zeldman Presents The Daily Report 2009-10-25 (#)

A contented person with a whole heart, who has never doubted for a moment that she is loved by God and the universe, should not bother trying to succeed as a creative entrepreneur.

And that’s how to succeed in business without really crying. KIV KIV

SAP OBN Object Based Navigation https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/5530 - From SAP NetWeaver ’04 onwards, SAP EP 6.0 introduced an important function which runs on unification Services. This is called “Object-Based Navigation/OBN”. OBN is a very simple and structured method of navigation to the various back-end systems (applications) which need to be unified with the Portal. OBN is based on “Business Objects (BO) “and “Operations” which are tied to the BO’s. One of the key advantages of using this method is that the OBN forms a layer between the Backend Application and Portal Content. Thus it is possible to dynamically change the iView which will be the Navigation target without changing the underlying back-end application as the ABAP developer just needs to know which BO and Operation he needs to call from his application.

12 kid-friendly iPhone apps for toddlers and young kids | Social Signal (#)
-> Update & Saliva Warning: I took my iPhone in for a repair this week and was told my warranty was void because a small paper tab Apple implants in each iPhone showed the phone had been exposed to liquid. Since this phone has never gotten wet, we suspect that the moisture detector (which is just inside the dock port) was triggered by excess saliva from the kids playing Ocarina and Balloonimals, both of which involve blowing into the phone. If your kids are still at the drooly stage, you may want to avoid iPhone games that involve mouth-to-iPhone contact. iphone tip important
