The ISPs also don't treat it as a proper utility. If I don't use it for a month, I still have to pay my full monthly rate.

If you're looking for a more DIY solution, I found a tool call iOS Beta Builder helpful. It prepares the XML manifest and creates a nice HTML page, so your testers just need to click to install. (you need their UDIDs first). The process is:

The browser defaults for outline are ugly, that's why so many people set outline to none. So, some visual examples that show sexy outline stylings seems a more reasonable approach. The author dismisses all aesthetic concerns and loses credi

It's interesting that in North America it was an intentional decision to make land and mobile #'s indistinguishable, yet we are now supposed to keep track. I'm probably a bit sloppy with my contact list, but still people forward calls to th

The killer feature is that you know when the message was opened. With SMS/text-messaging you have no idea if it was received by anyone - since it might have been sent to a landline #.

I'm also surprised that the funding source requirement somehow makes this discrimination arms-reach and hence legal. If i was a millionaire homophobe, could i create a fund for positions that specified "no gays"?

On page 2 of the free PDF it clearly states "public domain".

True. And speaking of GoDaddy a client recently mentioned that they registered two new domains with godaddy. Total cost (with all the ridiculous, unneeded extras): $138 Misleading and intentionally confusing UX can be very good for business

Are you opposed to a lightweight framework? Or a templating tool like Smarty? Ideally, a good framework would make a cleaner, more coherent codebase. If you restrict frameworks, I have a feeling most devs will just roll their own.

PHP4 end of life was at the end of 2007. I don't think you'd lose many users for requiring php5. (sorry couldn't reply to the correct nested comment)

I've heard about easy Wordpress upgrades, but never experienced them. Here's my cheatsheet: * download latest.tar.gz and rename * untar * mv wordpress ../wordpress-x.x.x * cd wordpress-x.x.x * cp wordpress-current/.htaccess . [o

I'm sure the algorithms for time stretching and the effects have been tweaked over the years, but the core principles of snipping wav files, sequencing on multiple tracks and adding parametrized effects are the same. I'd love to see someone

I'm sure it's a great service, but it's overkill. Still looking for something as simple as a shared webhosting (mail and webserver work "out of the box", easy control panel) but with better performance. There's a business idea here for some

Isn't this just a VPS? "Cloud Servers" = 256MB for ~$10/month which is a great price - but it looks like a plain old VPS. I could set it up, but there's no "friendly" way to administer it. "Managed Servers" are starting at $100/month, which

You might like the more rational grid approach to web design. Once you familiarize yourself with it, you'll start seeing it everywhere... A good place to start is: http://960.gs/

How do people get torrent files? From the web. So, if Apple is going to be consistent, a web browser shouldn't be allowed on the iphone. Silly. (And of course, you could always get around this by using a bittorrent client that can be contro
