May I suggest that you simply don't understand the value branding? I know it's hard for people like us to understand, but most people can get irrationally attached to products, people, ideologies etc ... just because they had a positive exp

This is starting to feel like Microsoft in the 90s or IBM in the 80s. IBM brought a computer in every business. Microsoft took it from the server-room and put it on your desk. Apple took it from your desk and put it in your pocket. They are

You have data to back up those claims? I see plenty of people doing plenty of other things besides playing silly games on their mobile.

Thanks for submitting this llamba. I really feel strongly about this: it's time us techies stop hiding behind internet anonymity & start making a public stand. Anyone got ideas how to give this wider circulation?

I commend you for saying this out loud in a public forum. How things have changed in just a few years! Just after 9/11 you would have been laughed out of the building for pulling out the "security theater" card. It warms my heart to see s

timezones ... thx for responding about TTL. About the only thing I'd add is that it needs to be set to 24h whereas most others will accept lower values.

One of the reasons why I chose a .is domain for my personal blog. A few gotchas though: registering a .is domain takes a while (think days/weeks instead of minutes) and your TTL needs to be high. http://fr.anc.is

What I'll be interested to see is whether the same will be true one year from now. The current product line-up still has Jobs' magic touch all over it & I'm really eager to see the quality & innovation of the post-Jobs projects.

This happened in my homecountry Belgium & in response depiraatbaai.be was created. I was just arguing in the SOPA thread that even if you're not from the US SOPA/PIPA still affects you. It's time to start fighting back people! I'm doing

No, the purpose of a coordinated worldwide blackout is to make it clear that this is a transnational problem. It is not 'my specific problem'. US outsiders need to make clear that they are watching you & will not tolerate this kind of

Quite the contrary: this is a worldwide problem. E.g. I'm from Europe & I despise our politician's tendency to copy/paste US law.

I'm 100% in favor of HN blacking out. On top of that, I have another 'non-violent' proposal for how techies could protest this: Let's create 'freedom.txt' files in the root of our servers. A simple text-file stating why the owner of the sit

Cool! Does this mean I will be allowed to distribute App Install scripts through the AppStore? The best of both worlds: free distribution & full control!

Perl for coding, BBEdit for editing, Filemaker / SQL / Oracle for the DB.

This is in no way a criticism of the actual app, but has building a to-do list become our day's "writing your own text editor"? Fascinating how a new one seems to pop up every day.

Anyone been running Xcode on Lion? I've kind of ignored the seeds & would like to know if it's safe to update my dev workstation, or wait until after a few updates?

Not sure about .cfm, but I once did append .asp to websites just to create some entertaining access logs.

What I liked most about the Reddit Gold program was how it shows the strength of the community: if you can pull off a 'freemium' move without actually developing significant extra features you're clearly doing something right.

We're only two weeks in and competition already turns out to be a good thing. I'm really hoping that Google releases an API soon because that's where I want to see changes: third-party social app development is quickly turning into a monocu

A thought just occurred to me: instead of bailing out Europe's Southern countries, why don't we just install airco instead?

I found #3 to work great for me. Take on a 'management' position or another position that does not require you to spend mental cycles on programming during the day, then code at night.
