   I thought this was going to be something like when I ssh into a remote system and run 'tcpdump' without filtering out port 22. :)

   He seemed to be an apologist for the new app store policies on selling outside the store. http://daringfireball.net/2011/03/dirty_percent To me it seems like apple is implementing not only a tax on all apps that run on the device, which h

   I think it's demographics. Who owns an android phone, and what game would they buy? And how many competitors to this style game on the platform. Meanwhile on iOS, the demographics are more flat, and additionally there are more choices for

   I think the sounds are cool. I mean yeah, the gameplay, but the sounds are fun.

    Google has better thought out color contrast too. The other ones are either too monochromatic, or the map details overwhelm the labels (think 90's web page color contrast)

    Ok, I have a question about this: Should you do it? I've done this for a long time. I have the fi-5110EOXM for the mac that I love. Here's what I learned. I spent a lot of time scanning stuff. When in doubt, scan it. I spent a

    As a user, I HATE openid. I use one unique username/password for each site I visit. My browser will maintain this for the sites I'd like it to, and sites where security is important, I type it in manually. In my opinion, developers are

    Firewalls can protect you from a number of things because they deal with the entire stack at once, which tcpwrappers can't do. They can detect and take action against denial of service attacks, port scans and probes for known vulnerabilitie

    I never redeemed the credits, and I got a few of these. I suspected it was because I reported issues with a couple videos. (Most disney sitcoms my kid watches seem to have audio and video COMPLETELY out of sync) What would make their cust

    Who develops on a laptop? Do you ignore ergonomics? This stuff will catch up with you (at the end of the day, and over your lifetime). I'm healthier and lots more productive on a desktop with a keyboard, mouse and large screen (all at the

    Nowadays, most people could probably bolt the hood on their car shut without any consequences (but there would be outcry from the car guys). But a lot of cars nowadays basically do this. There's an engine cover underneath the hood hiding a

    I have to agree. I would think the epicenter of Silicon Valley would be more likely Sunnyvale. It's surrounded by Mountain View, Santa Clara, Cupertino and North San Jose. Think Apple, Google, Intel, AMD, Lockheed, Nvidia, Cisco, Adobe, H

    I think the algorithm could try harder (or the photographer could possibly point to the shadows to expose them better). The photos show a good job of underexposing to prevent blown-out highlights, but it could do better overexposing to brin

    "For the money, though, you can get a much better setup" This is the key point. In this case, "For the money" = $5,349 (yikes!)

    I have a single 30" monitor and use Spaces on the mac. It makes me much much more productive than smaller monitors. The thing I like most about the 30" monitor is the HEIGHT -- I can see more lines of code. The width doesn't usually get u

    I read this and found it fascinating... But I think Feynman might have been incorrect in regard to number bases: "Translating from one base to another is an utterly useless thing." I use number bases (base 2 and base 16) every day.

    I think it was grievously hurt by google's slow-start "invite" thing. It was a catch-22. You needed people to collaborate with for it to catch on, but you needed to wait a long time to invite people.

    It saves me quite a bit of money. I never buy books until I'm sure I want to read them. When I first got my kindle, I bought more than one book at once, and I regretted it. Now I keep a backlog of sample books on my kindle. When I finish

    Sounds like an golden opportunity for a software tweak. Have the ability to configure this stuff on the lock screen. Either text (this phone owned by bleh) or a maybe a button to dial an emergency number.
