It's true, everyone in Britain generalises. One of the most common generalisations we have about Americans is that they don't get irony.

OK, so let's ban Firefox from the app store for packaging other people's content. He didn't package, nor did he take their material - that implies that his app somehow contained their content. It did not. It simply let you br

What I wanted to highlight is that the "big picture" of security with Apple is one of taking things seriously, not ignoring or brushing things off.

No, it's about the browser CA system. I don't know exactly how Apple implemented their signing for iDevices, but it's a reasonable assumption that the certs need to be signed by Apple, and they didn't effectively hand th

I first discovered this about two months ago. It may be old, but it solved a problem we had and nothing else quite fit the job. We're using it to run a flaky test suite and count how many times it succeeds, fails, or times out (yes, ti

AOLServer is mostly C, is it not? When you say it was one of the best systems for doing dynamic websites, would you use it on its own, or was it more popular to use OpenACS on top of it? (Which is what one of the codebases I still work on t
