A big kudos to Dice.com for getting such traction out of this non-story. The actual content of their infographic - http://www.linuxfoundation.org/sites/main/files/dice_lf_linu... - is full of revelations that would be very interesting in

For non-software products that you want to share, use Creative Commons licenses. That selection in itself isn't easy, which is probaby why they have a page dedicated to that decision: http://creativecommons.org/choose/

I've found Jeff Atwood's article on the topic to be the most useful selector of when what license is appropriate: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/04/pick-a-license-any-...

I reached out to @datassette to see if he'd let us host the MP3s for him on Cloudfront, so fingers crossed!

This is terrific news. Now if only Apache would start bundling spdy with their new releases, instead of expecting admins to hunt down the right mod ( http://code.google.com/p/mod-spdy/ ) and hopefully remember to always keep both up to date

There's just something about the stories of old trees that I find riveting. The best story, though, is that of the Prometheus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus_%28tree%29#The_cutti...

Without the Windows version being available as a MSI, this still isnt going to get enterprise support. At least not support/migration from people deploying FrontMotion's Firefox MSIs.

How about a plan that doesn't involve a 5x cost increase when you go from 3 to 4 users? Now that's something I'd upvote!

The site seems very fast, so good job. Without being able to see a non-obscured application.js, the javascript gurus here can't be of much help. The cloudfront is doing a good job with the caching, but you could shave off 10 HTTP requests b

I see this site being used heavily for phone support, and in that case your method - although perfect for email - won't hold up. What'd be great is a a-z0-9 unique code that's presented on each load. Then the user would only need to read me

Although a site like SuperUser or Quora ( http://www.quora.com/What-is-the-best-blogging-software-out-... ) might be better suited for this question, I'll weigh in and say your wife should try Squarespace.com and WordPress.com and see which

Note the ones that lack sources and how hard it is to find those sources, which might mean they don't exist or the companies are working really hard to hide it.

Because this thread is becoming heated, I am going to bow out. But before I do, I looked into how companies reacted after the 2009 Foxconn stories and based my decision on who reacted, what they admitted, and incidents associated with them

I recently had to decide where my tech needs end and my beliefs begin - I bought a new laptop. Although Apple has amazing hardware, I had to decide if I was willing to support their practices or possibly use a machine that offered less CPUs

I'd love to know the transfer speed differences between SCP, SFTP and FTP - because when I can view both ends of the wire then security is less of a concern than transfer time.

I've done this hunt too. If anything less than the vast majority of your site's visitors are mobile, then HTML5 geolocation isn't going to suit your needs (at least it won't for another 5 years.) Upgrading to MaxMind's paid database is real

The conversation of which job boards should be added to the list is happening at https://plus.google.com/105563832196530779426/posts/4hqn8dLP... . I suggested my company there, rather than in this thread, per the OP's request.

Although it'd be nice if Sublime came with autocomp out of the box (or at least an easier way to config it), the options are there. The blog I followed to set it up is http://urbangiraffe.com/2011/08/15/sublime-text-2-for-php/ . It does ma

I was waiting for that feature for Eclipse too. But I switched to Sublime Text ( http://www.sublimetext.com/2 ) and shudder when I think how many hours I wasted waiting for Eclipse to keep up with me.
