ahahahahah what? Dude, do you work for Microsoft? "Well see, we just have to run MS-SQL server (DESKTOP OMG EXPRESS ENGINE) here, and then we run IIS on top of it to serve this file listing..."

So actually it's much worse than Greasemonkey. Also, with GM you can just save the script with the same filename and it'll use that instead. This project is 100% useless.

Yeah, already have greasemonkey and the only thing I have to do to "publish" files is to save them with the same name. This project is a lot of work for zero benefit.

I really hate when "X is dead; long live X!" is misused like this. The original phrase is "The king is dead; long live the king!", used when the OLD king died and the NEW king takes over. Googling around, I see tons of misuse: Example of b

KeePassX + Dropbox bro. It's only an alt-tab and a right-click -> log in to site on whatever you want to get into, once you enter your master password and/or present your password file.

Looks great but no Linux support. Since I use Ubuntu on my work (and home) laptop and netbook, this is largely useless for me. KeePassX + Dropbox is a great way to go, but it's kind of more "DIY"-ish. Still not hard to set up, keeps all m

Yeah, I've gotten downvoted a lot for correcting people...but I think that not even approaching proper english makes you look like an idiot, so really, I'm helping.

We have some colocation clients who have a full cab of all XServes and Mac Pros (with OSX Server installed). One time, I asked what they run with all of that. They said "Ooh, we needed it to run Tomcat". Uhh.... I don't really understand

Good UX engineering is good UX engineering. Software engineering / architecture / development in general is not necessarily the same. An app can be beautifully engineered by have an awful UX. The inverse is less likely to be true (because

I found this article to be very poorly written, although it does makes some good points. That said, I agree with pretty much all of what you said.

Frameworks. MVC itself isn't hard for me to grok, but doing USEFUL things with Django and friends is kind of hard having never done it before. All the tutorials assume that you're already an ace OO guy.

>"Because they make deeply integrated skins" Not always true, and usually said skins are awful, slow, buggy crap. I would argue that if skin development is introducing even the slightest delay into the release cycle, they should cut it

Probably something very large, very expensive, and very custom. I would think something like a custom contract-deal IBM solution. Here is the whatweb output: ./whatweb https://online.citibank.com https://online.citibank.com [200] X-UA

Comcast already rakes in cash from consumers who usually have the "choice" between ATT with awful DSL service, or Comcast with awful cable modem service that is at least fast most of the time. ATT: 1.5mbit in most locations and costs $20-$4

I'm pretty sure that Quake 3 is basically unplayable on my phone because I don't have a mouse. Your suggestion might work fine if you were just shooting stationary targets, but for moving objects, no way.

Mostly, this. I've seen Java go fast and work well and scale and do other "enterprise-y" things, but there is tons and tons of awful software out there. I just feel like there are better choices for most projects.
