If you're in the U.S. and this happens you can and should file a HIPAA complaint. Vision care providers are bound by HIPAA just like other medical providers and with few exceptions they are required to give you a copy of your protected

I can think of several local restaurants and several national chains that do. In fact I'll bet most national chains do. I actually get a nontrivial amount of value out of local places' mailings, especially around my birthday when I'm in fre

You can click on "More search tools" on the left sidebar and below "Any time" choose "Past month," "Past year," etc., or "Custom range..." As a Rails developer I use "Past year" constantly because articles and docs from two years ago are

This is cool. Realtime? Awesome. Some thoughts: * As others have mentioned, it's too easy to single-click accidentally and create a note. * Pasting a URL to an image isn't discoverable. An explicit button for this on the toolbar, or one tha

From the FAQ: "Well, it's true that Spine was inspired by Backbone, an excellent library, and its controller API is very similar. However, the similarities end there. Internally the library works very differently. For example, Spine has no

Interesting. As gilesc points out, this is only possible by reverse-engineering (i.e. decompiling) the Flash client to get the encryption and decryption keys (crypt_key_input.h and crypt_key_output.h [1]). It's actually pretty easy to do th

For some more perspective: InterFax's smallest--and highest cost-per-page package--is $0.11/page. So to send 15 pages through InterFax will cost a developer at most $1.65: http://www.interfax.net/en/prices I worked on a project very simil

Contrary to what these initial comments are suggesting, Mahalo isn't duplicating content across all of these sites. These sites are each targeted at specific verticals, and (are intended to) only have questions and answers related to that v

wkhtmltopdf renders web pages to PDF using WebKit and works great on Windows, for what it's worth. It's just one more step to go from PDF to PNG. The results were great when I used it, but I'm not sure how it deals with e.g. Flash. http://

Neil Young's answer to digital distribution is physical media? A disc you have to go the store and buy in person or have delivered by a guy in a truck? A disc, I think it's safe to assume, for which you have to jump through hoops in order t
