I ran into some bugs when testing, such as: http://imgur.com/B0VVnmn The test will pass but I can't submit it, because the test doesn't pass. Meh.

Right, so make 5 the minimum then and reserve certain words. I guess I can always use usernames such as "administration", "dashboard" or "profile", right? I believe setting a minimum of 6 letters is a questionn

What is it with requiring at least 6 character usernames? Why does it matter to an automated system if I use less? I get that a username with only one letter isn't optimal, but I don't see why it can't be > 3.

While there are comments that mention getting drinks to go, I think 1.80 pounds are extremely cheap for spending time at a place, drinks and snacks included. I'd go.

The website's font looks bad for me on the latest Chrome, Windows x64: http://i.imgur.com/cN6tXNl.png Gets better with zooming though, at 120 % it looks nicer: http://i.imgur.com/d0GkKcq.png

What does this do? Does it map Dropbox and Google Drive to network drives on Windows (the image indicates so)? Is it a webapp? I'd love to see a more detailed explanation somewhere before signing up.

Nice idea, but I hated the workflow of setting up an account - first I have to type in a phone number manually twice, which is easily readable from Android. I also missed an explanation why I needed to set up an encryption token rightaway (

Take Hetzner (large German provider) as an example - while they do offer managed servers and root servers, those are much more expensive. I'm not advocating the use of such products, but merely pointing out that they're still arou

The issue here is that there is still numerous web hosts who don't grant you SSH access, so you're not able to set up any git repository there anyway and are still stuck with FTP. Hopefully this will go away soon, or at least more

I've never had to fill out 14 fields for payment. Ever. While I agree this might be too many fields, I very much doubt it's the standard practice.

You should really consider using SSL for at least the sign-up and login pages. People are transferring personal data, after all.

Terrible article. The issue at hand is the Browser plugin, and not the programming language itself.

What this calculation fails to take into account is that when you transfer data over the wire it usually lands in the place where it's needed to be. This wouldn't be the case if you still have to read data from fedex'd drives and copy it to

I love the process, but I've been having trouble with uploading. A lot of songs simply weren't uploaded successfully, and there is no way for me to manually upload anything in order to fix that. I have no idea if the uploader application do

If you pull down with two fingers (a bit counterintuitive, I'll admit), it'll open the settings app directly. You can also toggle the default notification drawer and the settings app by tapping the icon in the top right corner. I chose to i
