IIRC ClamAV used to have the quickest response time for adding new viruses to their database. Smells like marketing FUD to me, must mean the free ones are cutting into their market.

Kudos to the Atari Historical Society for saving this code and releasing it! I cut my teeth on Atari 800 6502 assembly code, and spent many hours playing these very games wondering how they wrote them.

I haven't really looked at Ruby that hard, but from my perspective as a reformed Perl user I found Python's syntax to be very clean and well organized. On the surface ruby looks more Perl-like to me, more clutter, not as easy to read as Pyt

So, going through this guy's list pretty much eliminates everyone I know. What does that leave me with? Him?

Absolutely! Some of the examples, depending on the core architecture, could benefit from a table lookup, but all are good tools to have in the box.

So they have had 5 years to perfect their technology. Are there any more recent reports on this, or did it go the way of Cold Fusion?

I do not see this as good news. tpb works. If it ain't broke, don't go mucking about trying to fix it. If they think they can maintain control without ownership they are seriously delusional. A company with a stock symbol is beholden to its

The more redundant you are the more it costs. And even with redundant network routes, power distribution, backup generators there always seems to be an undiscovered SPOF left. Murphey's Law is the Law of the Universe ;) One hosting provider

I'm not in management, but have been asked to help out reviewing candidates before. I always google them, but not to look for dirt. I'm interested in how active they are in the open source community. What kinds of projects have they helped

Yet again techcrunch gets it wrong. Twitter and TMZ don't constitute 'The Web'. As long as HN is up, the web must be ok ;)

Tapping into the nostalgic geek market? As much as I like the HP 15C, I'm not spending $30 for an iPhone version of it. They need to re-evaluate their price.

A large part of this decision depends on the type of product and market segment that it is targeting. Time to get to market can be very important. If you spend a year working part time you may be trumped by someone else. I have been involve

I went to his talk at LFNW in April. Oracle/Sun own 'MySQL' in name and trademark only. The core IP, and more importantly the developers, are working with Monty on MariaDB. He was very clear that MySQL/MariaDB was not going to disappear.

Anyone have a non-powerpoint summary of this article?

I think this article from 538 does a much better job covering the subject than the original one, who's methodology is questionable.

Take a look at what http://www.sparkfun.com has to offer. They make alot of adapter boards so that the more interesting devices (eg. accelerometers) are accessible to hackers without smt soldering skills.

I can't think of any common annoyances. I come from the Linux desktop world, so having a GUI that works right is great. It was hard to get used to the close in the top left and drag in the bottom right only at first but I don't even notice

I use TextMate every day. I hadn't noticed the lack of posts because for me, TextMate "Just Works(tm)". It is easily enhanced via python (or whatever your favorite language) through its bundle system so I have no need to depend on the devel

I have just given it a quick skim. I hope that you have put anti-spam measures in place to prevent scripts from automating submissions to your system and using it to send email. A few ideas: * Original creator needs to register, use a confi

If that was really his point, then you are correct that I missed it. I took it as saying there wasn't much to do with them.

I have to disagree totally. This is exactly the time frame where I learned assembly language (Atari 800) and C (Atari ST, etc.). As a programmer these machine were excellent tools for learning how the guts of the machine really worked, teac

Duh? Any developer knows that the success of their app is a crap shoot. We don't need techcrunch to tell us the bloody obvious.
