I use Google Desktop. My corporate mail is in outlook 2003, and this is what makes it usable.

You are assuming that every part of the cube has the same density. Perhaps the density increases as you get to the corners.

This logic doesn't extend to computers as they are just so much more complicated.

How exactly do you even define an API in real world terms? You can't see it, touch it, smell it, or hear it. If you can copyright an internal API, you can copyright anything.

Technology is just mimicking the rest of the economy in developed countries by moving to selling services rather than selling stuff.

You can never be 100% sure because science has no way to count to that level of accuracy. But you can take samples to validate that a scientifically proven process is working correctly. The ability of chlorine to purify water is quite wel

I think the purpose of this protocol is to bundle other data into the smtp requeat. Why not just make a standardised format that can be included as an attachment? Or even add special tags within the text of the email? This would achieve

GUI tools can scale well for complexity. Just look at how an experienced user can drive CAD or finalcut. It is just a matter of learning the interface, and understanding the domain it targets. I would argue that the real hurdle to learnin

I just don't understand why we need a single monolithic product that is at the core of the system. When you use any language specific API you are locking out possibly useful tools. The overhead of asking each component to use HTTP is an ac

I like the conclusion about using http. This goes against the approach advocated in monolithic frameworks such as django. It would be interesting to see a web framework that separates components and connects them with http.

They don't equate with identity but give a way of communicating with the user using a different channel. In a world of passwords this allows that password to be reset.

Thats not really how people think about maps. A map is a bit like a dictionary or encyclopedia. It is supposed to be correct and complete. Where Mapping plays to google strenths (captial expenditure and algorithms) they do well. But that

Surely Web frameworks do a lot to help solve this. Im sure django isnt't perfect; but its more secure than anything I could do.

No, its a kind of data. It has more in common with a spreadsheet than a novel. And like a spreadsheet you can get yourself into lots of trouble if you don't format the data in a way that suits the tool you are using.

Although RSA were absolutely at fault it seems like a design failure that the seeds cannot be revoked. Give the keys 4 possible seeds and put 3 of them in a safe. Security is about having defence in depth.

I think the problem is getting terms mixed up. A client-server arrangement on multiple machines can run in single threads and not share memory and is still concurrent. And concurrent code can still be run on a single processor. The abilit

Apple actually benefits from using a generic term. They could have just sold the apps within the itunes app but which may have caused confusion. Do they then have the right to trade mark "calculator" or "calender"? They could have called

It would be interesting to see what the IP of their BT client looks like. Maybe it would be possible to distribute the client across lots of machine and hide the fact that it was fetch.io. It would make it extremely difficult to actually

It would be better to give away cheap feature phones and a pair of headphones. Connectivity and content is more important than the size of the display. Even a system that can only do audio would be an amazing educational tool with the rig
