Thanks for the good response in turn.... I think a very core issue when discussing this is the fact that the majority of people aren't buying a home - they are mortgaging it. Borrowing money, and the additional costs that entails, have bec

At the risk of inflaming some - if you were buying the home, a paper loss in market value is irrelevant unless you are planning on selling the home during that time. The real problem here is that we're not really talking about home ownershi

If you buy a home, market fluctuations don't matter. It's your home, you are going to live in it. If you were in the business of flipping properties for a living, it would matter, but not if you buy. If you toss a mortgage into the mix,

A home may or may not be an investment - investing in a property for investment gains and buying a home as a place to live are not necessarily, and nor should they be, the same thing. Most people don't ever see the distinction. The article

It seems to me that the largest problem with this type of service, however it's dressed up, is on the VPN endpoint. We could argue forever about which transport is easier/has more security/etc - but if the VPN endpoint is not extremely sec

IANAL, but although you may not be able to tell the customers, you could chase up other legal avenues to contest the court order - even though you'd probably lose in the end (according to this doc at least) - and that's what the FBI is tryi

This is true unless you are the copyright holder, in which case you can do whatever you want.

Who holds the copyright on that webkit source code in question?

Open source developers create free systems and building blocks for people to build business and other applications on top of. They lower the barrier of entry for new, money making ideas to come into the light and get a shot, rather than h

I like the analogy - it works to a degree. I'd say more like it covers the whole spectrum from solo musicians to garage bands that suck, to good garage bands, to "rockstars". Sure, those working on super high profile projects can be like ro

I'm curious to know your thoughts on what your feelings are on your own children's educations. Will you advise them to drop out of highschool and start working? Are you expecting them to go to university?

Any of them ever end up with a bad amphetamine habit after that? That's mighty addictive stuff, for someone with the wrong combination of genetics and psychology, this could be really bad. The drug war is full of nonsense - but amphetamines

The two are very different.... He said it perfectly when he said it "slaps you in the face" with this idea. It's like all your input filters and mechanisms for categorizing things are stripped away, and your mind just gets raw input - filte

I didn't interpret it that way when I read it - perhaps it could be worded better. I read it to mean that you should not avoid trying to do something because you might fail - you should accept that you might fail and go for it anyway - not

You seem to be saying it was worth a lot to you and not worth much to you at the same time - that makes no sense.

You could always just chuck an SSD into a macbook pro on your own - my aging late-2009 macbook pro got a fantastic speed boost when I dropped an Intel x25m G2 SSD in - a bit short on space compared to before (which forces me to keep things

Online retailers who handle their own CC processing tend to keep credit card information around if only for fraud/chargeback tracking in the future - being online opens you up to massive abuse if you don't keep it in check. A big player lik

Thankfully that's what's great about credit cards (and let's not forget that) - you just ask the bank to deactivate the old one and no more transactions can go through. Also, you should in general not be liable for any fraudulent use of th

Credit card storage practices are dictated by the PCI standards - and they don't require that level of encryption.

Does the iphone even have real GPS? I believe it uses the cell tower info only.
474.
by dedward 16y ago
My understanding is hte iPhone doens't actually have a GPS receiver in it at all. It only uses a fuzzily defined "assisted GPS" which is basically based completely on 3g towers. They don't use the GPS satellites at all.

Then they shouldn't have structured things so that the founders COULD cash out early.... once you're able to cash out, it's YOURS....

In the simplest case, something like: ssh -R8000:127.0.0.1:80 my.vps.com This will forward all connections to http://my.vps.com:8000/ to port 80 on your local machine. Adjust ports as necessary. Then you also have the VPS where you can ac

A surprising number of web developers don't have a VPS.

by dedward 16y ago
I'm sort of shocked that most web developers don't have at least one small virtual node somewhere out in the real world where they can demo things and/or forward ports....... But that's just me.
