Since the first commit of jQTouch on GitHub in June, there doesn't seem to be much going on and every commit has come from one person. So I don't think you have to worry too much about that. I wanted to like it but there just didn't seem to

That's not a good story; that's what they're suppose to do on the most basic level. They don't deserve praise for that. They do, however, deserve a very bad reputation for stories like above. I have one myself and of others close to me but

While I generally agree with you, I think this can be done properly. Track and notify the kid every time their location information is accessed. They say they'll be home absolutely no later than midnight. Parents call at 12:30am with no ans

Agreed. I'm pretty good in interviews because I can interact with the interviewer, making a personal connection that calms me down and then I'm just myself. This sounds of little value beyond evaluation of acting skills. Might be of some us

Anyone know if there will be true compatibility of LTE hardware on the US networks? This would finally bring real competition and put an end to this problem.

Yes. I bought some food from a place recently that had all of their prices listed on the board as whole numbers. It took me a couple seconds to register as a price because it's so unusual. I loved it though.

There are also a ton of >21yo who are not responsible. That's not a good reason. Let's just ban alcohol because there will always be people that can't handle it. Instead, why don't we look at the problem. The largest problem is that it'

Agreed but it was probably the 9/10 part, as that makes it a personal dig at many here. The reality is that it is a fashion item for many people. I think if you're in the tech community you may think everybody has one but they don't and man

Great advice and just to add a little to this line of thinking... Never simply have a goal of losing weight. Instead, think about the lifestyle you want that will take you to a healthy weight. Find good foods that you enjoy and exercises th

It was meant as that sort of tone is generally not accepted toward anyone/anything, especially as a one-liner because it doesn't add anything to the discussion. It was probably perceived that way because there are many people that have that

Humor is often OK. I suspect the problem here is that your comment can be taken in an antagonistic tone that many people have in regards to DHH and the 37signals philosophy. That sort of tone is generally not accepted here, especially as a

I haven't flown too many different airlines recently but some do sell exit-row seats in advance and usually don't sell them all so asking as soon as you get to the gate can get one for free. It's one of those things where being polite and d

At 6'3", this is the difference between a miserable and pleasant flying experience. And if you don't want to pay the extra fee usually charged, immediately go to the counter and request it. Usually there are exit-row seats that nobody paid

Oops. Accidentally down-voted you. Votes really need to be reversible for at least some short time. EDIT: Wow. Some people are really pathetic with down votes. It was a mistake and should be correctable.

Fair enough but I just think it's a little dishonest to call out Old Spice when many deodorants contain aluminum and you have an allergy. It just seems you could have made this post initially and that anyone in your shoes would already know

Everyone's different. This person is just as likely to get a rash from your favorite deodorant as they are Old Spice. There's nothing inherently wrong with Old Spice.

Right, I didn't say the Evo is LTE. You might get an argument from Sprint about WiMAX not being 4G (even if it won't be the standard) but the point I was making is that the move to 4G is already underway and deployments around the world i
