Odd, did it say what the error was? [edit] I think I found and fixed the issue. Thanks for mentioning it. Yes, working on having a better landing page for sure. I just pushed a small update to clean it up a bit. Been trying to get some desi

Yeah, easy to make computer generated look more realistic when the image is blurred.

Why protest at an Apple store? Apple has already come out saying they wouldn't create a backdoor. Go protest the FBI HQ or something.

Yeah, I would assumed that is the case as well :)

I know so many 20 somethings that use snapchat. Here I am still not getting it. "But you can send a picture in a text message..."

It's certainly a factor. I also like that it's way more rugged than 99% of the other PCs out there that use cheap plastic.

Apple does very aggressively update software to work best with the latest hardware. Sadly this does cause some negative effects for older generation users but without taking advantage of the newer stuff those users get screwed as well.

It does suck the repairability is next to none but they have the best looking hardware out there. I have yet to see any other manufacture come close to what Apple can do hardware wise. A metal laptop enclosure is basically unheard of outsid

I think there is a decline in the quality of Apple's software. However I think there is a correlation between the amount of users and complaints / bugs found. Now that Apple has a large and growing user base the seeming quality is

I'm not twisting facts, just stated he didn't even stay after the announcement to checkout the car, that's on him. Also this was a reply to the parent comment talking about seeing the car. I'm also not saying it was righ

The guy left at 9:00, 15 minutes after they started the event. Doesn't sound like he even tried to see it.

Ah, I missed that. However that doesn't mean increasing the speed limit would be bad. Instead of speeding tickets they could focus on aggressive drivers constantly changing lanes and other more serious maneuvers that could cause more d

I'll try to find the source, but from another story I've read they are being issued the plate scanners for free in exchange for a percentage of the collections they make from using the scanner.

Yes, my days of sysadmin work just to have an app in production are over. Heroku pipelines are great too!

Many pet projects you can run for Free on Heroku. Their docs are pretty straight forward, not sure what your hiccups were but I've deployed quite a few sites to Heroku without much if any issues. The asset pipeline in rails use to caus
