Black text on white background strikes me as a bit odd. It's in stark contrast to the starburst in the background. 300+ customers but you show me the same static set of images every time. I think it'd be cool if it was random every time I

"Highly regulated" implies to me you should be testing against certain IE versions, and a Firefox 4.0 or something would be in addition to that. What's the breakdown on customer browser usage? You could be supporting FF7 when actually only

I agree with this. The really old and crusty ones are a bit sentimental, but if you get rid of them before they get old and crusty there's no nostalgia. For instance, I got rid of my Dell laptop that I used for 4 years in college, but it w

I worked at a more research-y branch of my school so we did things a bit differently than everyone else, but I'm going to try to sum this up in a way that I think applies to everything. 1) We have purchasing limits that are strictly enforce

That's unfortunate, but understandable considering how much they squeezed into the machine. Thanks for the correction.

I like my 13" MBP. It's an older model, so I don't know the screen res off hand, but if you can upgrade for more pixels that'd be good. Some IDEs get cluttery without enough pixels. What I've got is fine though. Like pashields I'm crunch

I agree. If this guy is a customer instead of (friends, family, etc) for private beta, he's going to represent part of the people paying you for this. Congratulations. You're basically getting early feedback by someone who really really w

I'd be concerned at the "former boss" part. Do you want to work for him again? Does he want a nice title and is hoping to piggy back off your work? What does your developer think of this potential new social dynamic in the business? While

I got the email, and I didn't take the "duration" as how long they wanted me to spend on it. I took it as more of a "When you start this, you should be done in X days because we want it by then." Should I have read it differently?

I use a kind of combination. I would probably be drowning in post-its scattered about my cube at the end of the day. Outlook ToDo's are kinda strange to use, so I picked up a steno pad and I write down all my tasks for the day every day i

Browsing your site, I would kind of suggest that if you got an email address after clicking on pricing & plans (ie they clicked on 1 plan) then that'd be a worthwhile number. The pricing and plans page by itself I would argue is rather

For the case of near-line storage I believe this would work. I understand why you would need this in that case. At that point you'd simply have to address pricing. With some napkin math I just paid $15/TB/month (for duration of warranty)

With a streaming news channel and notifications of upcoming stories you really can call someone, have them turn on the TV (or streamer) and catch the entire story from the beginning like they do in television/movies.

I agree that randomness might be a bit better here, or if you could do something like randomize destination (idk didn't sign up). That way you can send flowers to the significant someone at home one month, the office the next, or something

I agree with this. First off, I may consider a name change. Thick lips is ??? whereas Fat Lips means something different. I'm not too up on slang so I don't believe that means anything else other than "giving someone a fat lip" when you

I agree. The only time I notice my colors are "off" is when I'm sitting there when it transitions. Even when it transitions I just say "Oh, I didn't expect that right then" and go back to work as normal.

If you run the Red Hat family (Fedora, CentOS, SL, whatever else) you could also run Spacewalk. Machines periodically check in and get config files and packages that it needs. If you configure it to do so you can also push. At my last job
