I’ve had to do help a client in a similar position. We got contact with the domain registrar’s phone support, took over an hour, “proved” we were the legitimate owner of the domain with credit card details along with other personal informat

And the biometric check is still password based, right? You can't use Touch ID until you've entered your password, and then it's only a convenience for a given time.

There's a joke in Greenlandic, closely related to Inuktitut, about polysemy. The joke stems from Greenlandic having very little polysemy when it comes to hunting, nature, practicalities and activities, while European languages is quite

Denmark is geographically a relatively small country, and it is not uncommon for children to travel alone across the country in dedicated trains[1] for the children during the weekends. That said, its really not uncommon for other family me

Most children have two parents. The few cases where both parents work in health care they most likely have immediate family and/or friends who are either public workers or private sector workers who can work from home.

I saw the Joe Rogan clip[1] and I agree that Michael Osterholm's analysis of this seems correct when it comes to the United States. Denmark however has a completely different structure socially. All private sector employees who can wor

I'm not preaching morals, I'm taking business. Business' care not for fair software but their investment which is why I used the " somewhat open standard"-wording. In the history you're clinging to you completely ignore that there was no

That's only weird to those who think open standards to be the only viable standard. MS Office is the de facto standard and your data is not vendor-locked when using it. Please provide link to a somewhat decent Word/Excel/... alternati

This . And, not to mention no business owner want to get locked into a solution, they want their "data" transferable and standardized to at least some extend. The code this produces is so horrible you've lost all the time spent with it. Mu

It's not a matter of clinging to the past. I definitely want and wish for tools that can allow me to design websites without having to know what IE developers were thinking the day they decided to have some fun. The reason vim, emacs

Please, tell me this is Adobe trying to mock IE. It has to be, right? I mean, they've always sort of not valued source code, but this is beyond torturing it. This is so inspirationally horrible someone spent hours remaking it, like it s

Not sure why someone down-voted that... But it doesn't sound too pricey as long as it does what it needs to do and it does it well. 20-30 dollars is probably what most store owners pay just for being able to accept credit cards. In my count

In my case suscription models with somewhat absolute pricing were attractive because it provides a way to even out the money cost over time. But the price was not the only thing in consideration when it came to costs. The concerns my client

The "connection between things that are not really connected" part match my own experience of having schizophrenia very well. It's not uncommon for me to have thoughts that very much makes sense and is meaningful to me while others simp

Having researched potential PoS systems for a local shop I can say there is a lot of room for improving the PoS products but I'm far from convinced it's actually lucrative to provide such solutions. As rick888 is pointing out you will defin

Well, in that case we'll need a common ground of which we can say what wasting time is. ;)

Oh, right. Reading that at first I thought the writer had completely mixed up schizophrenia and multiple personality disorders. Something that is not uncommon at all in the media and pop culture.

This is obviously an attempt at a smart or funny remark. :) But for arguments sake, lets take a serious approach to it: How would it work, getting back those two minutes? Would it be adding two more minutes to your total life span? If so, h

Hehe. :) This is inspired by some of the thought trains I can have, having schizophrenia. My mind sometimes get hectic and chaotic waves of thoughts where in I somehow manage to make sense and meaning of it even though there actually is no

Not sure I got the "mixing up identities" comment part right but just wanted to point out schizophrenia has nothing to do with multiple personality disorders.

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. ;) On another note: There should be some filters you could be apply so you'd minimize risk of exposure to such movies as the highest recommended to that one titled "Sorry, Steve Jobs, But Business is

I don't really follow any tech writers and my remarks are probably pretty off topic but I think it's important to recognize the differences. To some it might just be semantics but for others it's a whole world in difference because it affec

Criticism does not mean being "anti". It does sometimes but if it's a complex issue and people take their time to understand it's various aspects, the critics are usually never "anti". From Windows 95 I was hooked on GUI's. I didn't like Mi

Yeah, I didn't think of that but it's very true as well. I have very sensitive -something- so can't enjoy smoking myself. I can relate to it very well however when I think of alcohol usage. While not widely considered as much of an issue, a

I think they misunderstood a great deal about why smoking is "cool". Today it's considered cool to try and be healthier. To some extend at least. People are well aware that smoking isn't healthy but it still has appeal because it's somewhat
