I'm guessing there's no incentive for Google to care. If your gmail gets hacked, Google loses 1 user. (even though you lose a lot more) If someone hacks a blizzard account, it screws up the blizzard economy.

I think it would be nice if Google provided a rsa key fob for those of us who do keep a crap ton of stuff in their gmail.

Are we patenting ideas now?

Short answer is no. Most of the "slow" queries that happen in databases are usually complicated select/join/update statements -- the same can happen for key/value databases. Even with TC, you're still programmatically writing the code to

Zed has maintained many open source projects for more than 6 months. Also, if you've met Zed in person, you'll find that he's one of the most considerate and cool people ever.

So we trade faster development time for a longer review process time. So instead of hiring more developers for your app, you hire more lawyers -- sounds like a definite fail. With business acumen like that, I'm not surprised why Palm is f

I use ubuntu all the time, I don't remember having to configure shmmax to get it working with my blog. I think you only need to mess with that stuff if you're trying to increase the number of connections or "scale" your blog. I think 90%

Most kiddie bikes are pretty heavy already since they're usually made of cheap steel -- heavier than some adult bikes, I doubt the kid would lug it around anyway.

Gears didn't provide users anything special, that's why it never caught on. But in this case, it provides users with a better web browsing experience. Our site doesn't support IE6 at all, in fact we just send those users to a web page say

Don't feel bad. Even super angel Ron Conway didn't "get" or invest in Facebook early on. It took Facebook a long time to reach profitability, but they still made it!

The best thing that comes out from it is the peer pressure to stay focused. Even if your pair doesn't know anything about programming, just having him sit there and watch you will make you at least twice as productive so that you don't end

I usually let who ever is "driving" just write the damn code. He might write poorer code than I, but we're just trying to solve story cards quickly and if the tests pass, I don't complain. I usually only perk up when I notice logical erro

What's wrong with multiple repositories? It should be easy to add new ones. There's multiple places to get debian packages, there's the main packages, non-free, backports, and other homebrew ones like mythtv etc. It's as easy as adding a

I think the fundamental problem with waking up has little to do with the power of the alarm clock. If the alarm clock could detect the sleep cycle pattern, it could wake you up when you're not in REM sleep so that you wouldn't wake up grog

A friend of mine who works for Qualcomm in san diego says this happened to him as well. He went to the dentist to have all 4 wisdom teeth removed. They asked him to schedule it over 4 separate days rather than doing it all at once, just s

unless things have changed recently, SC's 1.0 beta is anything but stable. It's great for hobby projects, but I would worry if attempting to use it for production. I guess if you're starting a new project now, SC isn't a bad route. Will

Yeah, but not everyone wants to have their commit logs full "testing sample code 2" etc. Maybe you're profiling and you're trying out different pieces of code to see which ones might be faster -- happens all the time in javascript because

That's what they said about search before Google came around! Altavista, Hotbot, Ask Jeeves, do we really need another search engine? Why do you think Google will be better than Altavista?

seems like they've done more than just run a website... I'm sure Derek Sivers & Kevin Hale had to do more than just apache configuration files to get their companies up and running.
