Some oddities: The project is "by" Kano - London England and the image shows a UK three pin mains plug and the kit is based upon the UK built Raspberry Pi. Yet the prices are in USD with extra postage costs to ship outside the USA

This feels like moving the problem from one bucket to another. Instead of crappy specs you end up with crappy tests. the issue is always the inability of the business to define the process - in particular the edge cases but even then someti

The foundation of the UK's unwritten constitution is that you may do anything that is not prohibited by law. You do not need someone's permission to exercise your free will - your freedoms are not "granted" but fundament

You missed the point of my comment. My point was that you can't turn off an important (nay crucial) element of modern web applications simply because you don't like how some web sites go beyond enhancement into the black pit of de

Not the only one - I just read this - and it fitted so well into some stuff I have been playing with using multiple micro processor boards and sensors - that now I just have to dive into it and see where it takes me.

Apart from the obvious observation that if the Java application is important then you are working for an idiot - then you have to start from the beginning like everyone else and read a good book. You will also need to become familiar with w

No change in my spam folder. Everything as normal and after all the gMail filter is probably the best around. It may be that you inadvertently marked a set of good emails as spam and the filter is just trying to meet what it thinks are your

The facts as reported are almost certainly incomplete - to the point where they completely fail to represent the truth. This is necessarily so - in the UK we have strong privacy laws to protect both the mother and the child but make no mist

There are no excuses for storing plain text passwords - ever! Just do not do it - it will always end in tears.

I am sure you are quite correct - any limitation (within reasonable bounds for a web page control) is a strong indication that a web site is not hashing you password. At best they are encrypting it - and that is bad bad bad.

I have signed up to see how it goes - introduced me to something I rather fancy straight away. I think I would add a "location" filter as I would be biased in favor of supporting projects based in my country - although I do punt a

Well the inverse certainly exists. I continuously find projects held up waiting for a developer to complete a simple task that should only have taken - well certainly a tenth of the time. I have even run into a couple of folks who never act
