I also agree that Apple has a right to curate their store. But I disagree that the only store I should be allowed to buy from is Apple's.
Not if you are doing your login correctly. You shouldn't need to send passwords to a server to login, just hashes of passwords. That's the point. If your server ever needs to see a real password after the account is…
I would avoid Mozy. I was using them with their unlimited plan. Less than a year ago, they dropped their unlimited plan and the new plan would have quadrupled my costs. I switched to CrashPlan and have been happy so…
Is this memory that is needed for some other application you are running? Is your system running low on virtual memory? If not, what is the problem with FF using it? From what I've seen (at least with FF6), when system…
Moral of the story: Don't be a dick. I can't remember the last time I flipped someone off. Certainly not some truck driver passing another truck slower than I would like. I reserve the middle finger for the epically…
I know of at least one company that tried this and failed. It was quite a long time ago and targeted large companies, but it did work. To give you an idea of how long ago, it was written for PocketPC 3.0. The company is…

Pretty sure that is the best part.
Somewhat disappointing. The subject matter was not a difficult one. Not to say it wasn't well done, but it was not as challenging of a subject as a person or animal would be. I think Sofronis Efstathiou sums it up…
This is genius.
The eye opener for me is the lack of end to end security. I generally avoid doing anything requiring https on my iPhone, but now I know to NEVER do anything that requires security on Opera Mini. Of course, this assumes…
For my last side gig I charged $100/hr. I didn't need the gig, nor did I really want it, since I had just changed real jobs. They didn't like the price, but went for it anyway.

If the bank's software decides to munge some data, no one dies. If your $2K laptop crashes, no one dies. The cost (both financial and human) of an aviation failure far exceeds the cost of your laptop crashing.
Large gains always means you are assuming a large risk. No one has yet to come up with a way of removing (or greatly reducing) risk without also greatly reducing the gains. Ignore large gains at your own peril.
And my car's speed approaches that of an SR-71. Sure, it is fast for a mobile device, but it is still damn slow compared to a "real" computer.

Some people love their work. Work is as interesting to them as any hobby they might have. I count myself among those who love their work. My boss has a hard time getting me to take my vacation time. Anything more than 4…
Came here to say that... Seriously, penalty shots?
There is some serious smack-down in that NASA article. "In the early 20th century there were periods of quiet lasting almost twice as long as the current spell." "In summary, "the current minimum is not abnormally low…
I'm with the whole DVD thing. Never underestimate the bandwidth of a box of discs in a postal van. The ping time on the other hand...
For those of you who swear in your code base, I ask you this: is it ok in your company to swear in a meeting? The code you write isn't just for you, it is for everyone on the team, including people you haven't met yet.…
"Previously I was a "fast" hunt-and-pecker, except I didn't really hunt at all" So, does that make you a pecker? -- sorry, couldn't help myself.
That is a pretty good paper. I haven't gone through it in full detail, but the sections I read were excellent. Thanks!
