I'd say read some history on effective non-carceral and non-violent ways to deal with hateful people: shunning and shaming is the best option. It lets hateful people live their lives in a bubble if that's what they want. But also

I disagree. Someone with these views on humanity should not have a platform. They should be shamed and shunned. They should not be an "influencer" (however minor). Look, I grew up in a cult too (the Baptist flavor). I also grew

It exists. Pick up a device that support ARM64 Windows 10 and it has compatibility with x86 programs (via an emulation layer like WoW64). This announcement is for Firefox for ARM64 Windows 10 (without using the emulation layer). So, faster,

I didn’t say “not useful”. Clearly they’re useful. I said non-EV certs “aren’t as useful”. Which is just a fact (as evidenced by the Smart Screen “reputation boost” that EV certs get). I already read that blog post. I’m person that linked t

I don't think you actually understand cracking if you're claiming your protection is uncrackable. You're certainly not the first licensing company to sell that lie, if that is what you're claiming. I can explain why what

Fantastic find, crescentfresh! Changing "i" to "j" in the inner loop fixes the problem on IE6. Now we just have to wait for jQuery 1.6.1.

This release causes Internet Explorer 6 to freeze just by including the script in the page. This is a non-starter. I'll submit a bug report about it later today, just thought you guys would like to know in the meantime. EDIT: It looks like

Yes, quite a bit more than 50K/year, but we're only a web startup in the sense that we sell all our products via the web. Our 2 main products are an updater suite for Windows apps ( http://wyday.com/wybuild/ ) and licensing & online ac

>> You're kidding, right? Nope, they're just misinformed; they read the roadmap incorrectly. What the Firefox devs mean is a 64-bit version of Firefox (i.e. an x64 process). Right now Firefox runs perfectly on both Windows 7 and 64-

Funny thing is, if Microsoft had used a directory without a space I wonder how many apps would exists where they didn't handle path names with spaces correctly. What would the computing world look like if every program were as temperament

This is exactly right - licensing exists for enforcing contracts. Weak systems (e.g. serial-only licensing) results in actual lost sales. It's not always malicious thieving - mostly it's just inefficient bureaucracy. This means you should e

Exactly. The hosting didn't start off that slow. When we first purchased the server slice the average page load time was about 1.5 seconds. But as time went on, the hosting company overstocked their servers and load times inflated horribly.

Yes, speed matters. This is just anecdotal evidence, so feel free to dismiss it: We recently switched hosting companies and our site load speed went from an average of 10 seconds to the new server speed of just under 1 second. Our monthly r
