Nice. I'd assume a killer feature would be "it does not follow defensive programming thus ensuring you don't ignore bugs until the shit hits the fan, thus catching them easily during dev time" But this works too. I seen someone make the mos

Rails only? That is a burn point at any time. God help you if a prod script fails mid-way. Your well-intentioned plans get thrown out the window as you are in an inconsistent state. In prod. Means basically an extra 3 hrs for us to clone pr

I did not realize it until I picked up Postgres. Author forgot to mention that postgres has transactions on DDL statements! Thats right, creating/altering tables is fully transactional, oracle doesn't even do that.

sigh still to point out. As a father, and a startup enthusiast, I think the same problem applies to both sexes. Women have the problem of actually carrying the child, and post birth. In that case... sorry there's that one year time when y

I use macbook air. No quibbles with it. Maybe if it upped the Mhz to 2.5Ghz it would be ideal. - Quiet. - SSD = Fast - Works all day on one charge. - No glare (only purple light is reflected...)

The problem is that he has more "friends" than he understands. Having 100 people in "friends" is bullshit. Nobody can have 100 friends. They can have 10 friends and 90 acquaintances. Those 90 probably go in "I'm interested in following thei

Adobe does not pretent to give you an open source project like VLC player and bundle malware/adware into the installer as if VLC team did it. They even make the .exe signature identical to that of the original to fool people. Its wrong. and

My thought is: If you can't afford me blocking ads then do one of two things: 1) No flashing ads. No flash ads (cpu time is mine!) No ads that blur content with ads. And I will turn off ad blocking on your site. If ads have sound and I can'

HTC makes decent hardware, but really shitty software that no self-respecting developer would release and be proud of. They wanted to "brand" htc with thier own bs crap of shit. However two funny things: 1) There are better alternatives out

Ok I am not expecting miracles here. How usable is it? Will it play angry birds (smoke test). Bascially, is this a repeat of the previous $100 android tablet fiasco?

Giving an artist 30 cents is already better. If making a dollar = playing a song 3500 times. That means that I can not possible listen to my most favorite artist enough to give them 1 dollar EVER. Maybe in my entire life. If they self-publi

Yea, Or they knew about the free app of the day and made a special farming one that's essentially the ad version minus displayed ads. I find it crazy the permissions required even from paid apps. And of course amazon does not tell you them

Android used to be a-la-carte but too much user confusion and developers not gracefully handling these things causing apps to crash. It had to be enabled as all-or-nothing kind of deal.

There's a bigger joke here. They are asking people WHO ARE ALREADY NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE ENOUGH TO ADD A WIFI ENCRYPTION to change their network SSID. I think .01% of the population will benefit. Naturally opt-in < opt-out.
