Ok. What happens when the 3rd party service is acquired and shuts down, or shuts down due to lack of funds? I've got several machines that have been running non-stop for 3-5 years, and I've had several services I've relied on that have shut

This is the perfect example of something that could be run on an always-connected, dual-core Atom machine (~$200) sitting in one's office. I don't understand the insistence on using a paid monthly service for something so simple. My crappy

My understanding is that NCR provided a service to Blockbuster (which simply branded it, and provided the consumer relationship, aka took payments). DISH Network is now the owner of Blockbuster, and I don't think they are the only consume-f

Whatever this data dump from FB consists of, is it in some usable form? My understanding is that it's a pdf without any ability to import it into any other software. For example, can you import birthdays directly into iCal (or w/e) or impo

By the looks of it (from the perspective of people not involved in the support industry), you appear to have a problem with the company for making a name change, which seems petty (going by the comments here, and my own thoughts after readi

I was going to write a serious response to this post, then I looked up Wonga realized how poorly thought out and absurd this list was. In fact, we have several of these loan companies that are publicly traded here in the US. Here are their

Personally, I use Chromium for the sites that I'm logged into, and Firefox for general browsing and searching. I'm not sure if that would work for you, but it seems it would work with your work-flow as you've described it.

My guess is that he is using Piwik (wikipedia has an entry), as that is the best OSS package that I know of. It's LAMP-based, so YMMV.

Just to be clear, commercial copyright infringement (i.e. for profit) is criminal, personal copyright infringement (i.e. you download it and watch it) is civil.

I'm glad you brought up the point about people profiting from copyrighted works for which they do not have the rights because in the US, that is the only thing that is criminally offensive wrt piracy. Downloading content without payment sim

I'm curious why Mozilla's Prism (XUL Runner) wouldn't be a candidate for forking in a project like this since it would allow for cross-platform (Windows/ Linux support)?

If you know you are going to use Comcast for a year or more, it is cheaper (or break-even) to buy your own modem. Amazon has the Motorola surfboards (SB6120 and SB6121) for $75 and $85, respectively (vs. $7/mo *12mo=$84).

To that end, I think you should start by doing a search here: http://www.ipo.gov.uk/types/tm/t-os/t-find/t-find-prop.htm If they hold the mark, I would re-brand. If they do not, I would try to launch as soon as possible with an MVP.

My first question would be why either of these companies would choose an owl as a mascot when owls are known for good eyesight or wisdom, but not auditory abilities (I suppose this is my viewpoint). With that said, I have personal experienc

At the least one down-vote, so I expect some comment noting the flaw in my logic, or is this simply a "disagreement down -vote"?

I'm not in the target market, but the differentiator here is mindshare and/or data analysis. One must have superior data or a superior ability to analyze data acquired. "Hypelocal" is also currently the target of groupon, google, foursquare

As such a late entry, I'm curious how you plan to differentiate yourselves from the likes of Foursquare and the others? I hope you do not take offense, but this isn't exactly a new idea.

I'm not sure if you noticed or your parent was edited, but it specifically says "high reoccurring fees." I share this sentiment, and, therefore, only have an iPod Touch/ cheap phone. I pay $33/mo (incl. tax) for 1k min+1k sms+200MB data). I

There are at least 22 states that allow for both voter initiatives and referendums[1], and not all of them suffer from the issues you are outlining. Also, it isn't setup so that every issue is addressed in this manner. [1] http://en.wikip

Colorado specifically opted out of the helmet law because the revenue generated from motorcycle tourists outweighs the federal subsidy.
