If I was writing one I'd just be logging posted form fields with a transparent proxy, almost seems easier than a key logger.

If you want to get into root cause analysis, it sounds like the incorrect radar setting got them in the situation in the first place. Obviously the way the pilots dealt with that situation from then on was suboptimal, but avoiding situatio

If you can't remember merge sort, quick sort or heaps, a easy starting point is wikipedia, and then code them up in your language of choice. It shouldn't take long, and you'll learn it better by doing than by reading about it.

Is it worth having service contracts if you have thousands of machines? I would have thought it's analogous to car hire companies not having insurance on their cars (because with enough cars the distribution of accident costs evens out)

If you read the article you'll see it's talking about exchanges, not those trading with them.

Why are patents transferable beyond the original creator? This allows the creator to benefit in the case they can't personally exploit their work. If I invent some CPU fabrication process, I won't have the capital to invest to rea

Assuming the government is still going to fund a TV station, not having a license for BBC would just mean it was funded out of general taxation revenue. Having a license system or not is irrelevant, it's still being funded by taxation eith

But when those students arrive at Big Corp they're most likely to be issued a PC laptop. A more interesting stat would be the market share of purchases where the person paying is the person who'll use the machine.

The issue they have doesn't seem to be scaling, in that RoR is scaling linearly. But if you have hundreds of machines, raw performance saves real money, which means RoR is maybe not ideal for massive deployments and the JVM languages give

Do you have to offer migration initially? I don't think it's something that every service has launched with. And there's a steady stream of new email users every year. A few non-techy people have asked me if there are email services tha

If you work at a bank there's a good chance you'll next laid off en masse as soon when there's a really bad year.

Actually the domain you own is almost certainly firstname.lastname.name, but the email is setup so firstname@lastname.name works. It's particular to the .name TLD.

what constitutes default will be pretty clearly defined in the contract - which is more in terms of credit "events" rather than just default. See for example the ISDA definitions: http://credit-deriv.com/isdadefinitions.htm

I don't think you're supposed to get fit, the benefit is more that it stops you sitting in your chair for 8 hours straight.

I'm surprised you have to go via recruiters? I would have thought you have enough of a name that you would get applications (if you made enough noise about hiring). Maybe having a tweet or blog post in the last 6 months saying you're hiri

GWT is awesome if you have a team of Java developers who aren't really web developers. You can be productive without having all the HTTP/css/javascript/html skills you would need otherwise (though you still want someone on your team who

No. Once his own costs reached a limit where he had to settle, the other side would have had similar if not greater legal costs racked up. Continuing at that point is a double or nothing bet, which might make sense if the odds are in your

They may have very little functionality, but do it at scale. e.g. even searching tweets (which doesn't seem to work that great...) is a massive undertaking (not astoundingly little ) that they're obviously still working at.

Last year, the company dropped staff ratings and bonuses, shifting to a flat 8% annual salary rise with monthly “coaching conversations” between managers and team members. While I guess that's generous, it sounds almost like a public serv

Having backups that are accessible if you get hacked doesn't really cut it. I'm guessing there wasn't a huge amount of data involved here, and if there was a set of tapes in a safe somewhere a lot of people would be much happier right now.
