I know I shouldn't. It may be a terrible thing, but I like to check in at a certain time, work for a predetermined amount of time, and then go home. I work to enjoy the rest of my life, I don't want my work consuming my life. I worked in a

After maybe 30 seconds it automatically returns to the lock screen-in fact I was barely able to get to a contact before it locked again

It looks like you have music streaming built in using a flash widget-can that be swapped out for an html5 streamer?

Very neat. Still can't change key bindings in Chrome like I can in Opera. I want to be able to modify key key combinations-like change 'focus address bad' to command+d. I have yet to find an extension or configuration in Firefox/Chrome/Safa

This really seems like a lot of hassle to go through to protect your software. Why bother really? The people who are getting cracked versions of the software aren't going to pay for it, so its not like you're losing a customer to the cracke

Lots of internet misspellings in the testimony. Reading this really makes me think about how foreign the culture on the Internet is to most people-and how indecipherable.

I emailed them about it after 8 was released-they have a 'non supported install method' for OpenBSD that a forum member wrote. They told me it SHOULD work for FreeBSD, but they're currently not devoting any resources to figuring out how to

I had the same dilemma when looking for virutal hosting-I ended up at rootbsd.net because running FreeBSD was important to me. Not as cheap/featureful as linode, but its good enough for rsync.net its good enough for me.

Very interesting-its hard to believe that an embedded device manufacturer would release a device with debugging enabled and baked in-when I worked in industrial embedded electronics there was no way to dump the memory across the network (we

Yup-bug report submitted. I can replicate it on both my OS X machines-position your cursor over a hyperlink and click to follow it. Without moving the mouse, press right click+left click to go back a page. Release the mouse buttons. If your

And still has the bug where if you use right click+left click to go back a page, if your cursor lands on a link when the page loads it automatically follows it.

In very sad news they've removed the Shoutcast integration inside of VLC. This was one of the great 'hidden' features of VLC-you could view essentially any type of video or audio through a very slick integrated menu. Darn AOL for strong ar

What insurance do you want them to provide? They can't be held liable for every jackass with a drivers license that rents on of their vehicles.

I'm not usually squeamish about animal husbandry-but this goes way way over the border into just ridiculous cruelty. I couldn't watch more than 30 seconds of the video-when he ties down the cow's head and starts beating it I had to stop.

2001-2002. This wasn't a corporate owned store either-just a small franchise operation. I think they had 5 stores.

The current 13in Macbook Pro has an i3 chipset. Did you mean you're waiting for them to get the i5? Arstechnica had a pretty solid article detailing why the current MacBook Pro 13in can't have an i5 without sacrificing the DVD drive. That a

From my time working at McDonalds back in highschool I can tell you they had solved this problem already. The head machine in the back office was running AIX, and all the POS terminals netbooted a linux variant from it. There was also a sec

Because Adobe pitches a fit about anything MS does to make working with PDF's free. You may not be aware of this but MS Office 2003 was supposed to have the ability to save to PDF builtin-but Adobe threw a huge hissy fit about MS cutting in

The public school system in the United States is a wonderful undertaking. Unfortunately it is deeply flawed and in its current state does a great disservice to the students that attend school within the public system. My wife works with und

As with any major postgres update this calls from a full dump of the database and a restore into the new version-you can't simply update the database files. pg_dump -clean makes this a snap so you shouldn't have any problems upgrading. (oh

This is very timely. My wife and I are huge google docs users and we were just chatting over the weekend about how slow docs seemed to be with large documents. Docs has really replaced a lot of our use of MS Office. Its not a power users re

Thats true-you don't have to respect or understand their point of view. If you don't respect or want to understand their reasons for the decisions they're making, perhaps you shouldn't be developing apps for the platform. And if you're not
