Thanks for the correction. I don't have the iPad version myself, so I was going off of comments made by other users. It sounds like people who did pay for Pro when they did offer it in the iPad version are upset, then.

Here's the current status of ads, as I understand it: On iPhone, you only see sponsored posts if you have not purchased Pro. When they rolled out ads initially to iPhone, Pro users saw them and complained, Reddit said it was a bug, and

Where is your company, and what industry is it in? I was taught (and coached) that no matter what kind of job you're interviewing for, you should show up in a suit and tie. Not because you ever expect to wear that while working, but be

People will likely complain that they paid for Contributor but still see ads on your participating site.

There will almost certainly be a way to block Contributor the same way you block ads.

Siri will read notifications, including text messages if you say something like "read that text".

Great site, and exciting service. One little nitpick: the blue chat bubbles on the site gave me the impression you'd be using iMessage for supported phones instead of SMS. (This matters to me just a bit because I have a limited number

Are you OK with people using Magic for things that don't result in a purchase? Something like "Is the 4:30 train from Greenwich to NYC late?" or "What hours are my local DMV office open?" "Anything you want&quo

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

The wording on the top of http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/ leads me to believe that TrueCrypt is no longer being developed, and bugs (including vulnerabilities) are not being fixed. If that's the case, what's the

At that point, why do you use a Keurig at all? What's the benefit besides the convenience of the pre-measured, pre-ground pods?

One of the classic such attacks is van Eck phreaking, picking up EM emissions from CRTs. [1] I'm not sure if other techniques could be used for LCDs. There have been several papers published about keyboard acoustic sidechannels as well

Essentially, yes. To elaborate on the linked bug a bit: You can use UIWebView, the older interface. The biggest problem is that its JavaScript engine is slower than Safari's, and does not JIT compile code (according to Apple, this is f

All of this information comes from the teacher of a Spanish class I took (we watched the Latin American version of Shrek in the class). I wish I had some more tangible sources to cite. EDIT: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0

The Latin American Spanish localization of Dreamworks's Shrek is a great example. They brought in Eugenio Derbez, a Mexican comedian, to voice Donkey (voiced in English by Eddie Murphy). Donkey in particular speaks in colloquialisms an

The question you need the filesystem to answer in this case is, "If I save a file with name A, will it be accessible via name B?" You can't assume that the filesystem has one canonical name from which the file will be accesse

It's great to see the Test Anything Protocol[1] being used outside of the Perl world. TAP allows you to detect when an assertion hasn't run (you declare the number of tests upfront and each test is numbered). It's also real

I found that combining the C++ FAQ and the C++ FQA made me a much better C++ programmer when I was learning the language. Sure, it's ranty and biased, but that's kind of the point.
