Not the poster on the Xfinity forum, but thought the analysis would be interesting for HN (Assume many here fall into the bucket of using their own modems.) Came across this after my own internet connection started dropping 20+ times per da

So that’s what I used to think (Price hiding to avoid sticker shock) But now I am convinced it’s a little bit the price point but more when there is variability in the pricing, and the pricing is done by a sales team that has flexibility on

This looks great - some more in-depth documentation vs. just a feature list would be helpful. What's the configuration / deployment story? How do you move a configured Motor Admin configuration from development to staging and then

I switched to the Android Headspace app recently and the juxtaposition of what they're trying to achieve (meditation / mindfulness and being in the moment) with the onslaught of unasked-for notifications, sometimes when I was alre

You do know that there are no communities that have zoning ordinances allowing 160ft water towers, right? So there's always a variance of some sort involved if fracking is done near any residential community, but I don't think tha

Isn't this solved by just requiring the CSRF token on any JS get requests? (In fact, isn't this just a cross-site request forgery with a different verb than we're used to?) I know it's only generally checked on posts, bu

I got one of these, it was brutal. Switching cards was something like a 30 second process, which meant that instead of taking a card out, you had to open up the app, wait for it to load, wait an extra 10 seconds for it to connect to the Geo

The fallacy with this argument is that if everyone behaved if you did there would be no games. If this stuff is "free" it's the tragedy of the commons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons - except in this case it's develope

I'm a little bit in line with the other folks - if you grant access to a photo, the entirety of that Photo (exif data et al) should be available to the app. I have another question (and I really don't mean it as snarkly as it'll sound) - if

Author here, just saw this pop up. The engine isn't really in a released state yet and doesn't have a numbered released yet (darn lack of docs), but it's been used internally for a number of projects, most recently: http://www.html5gamedev
