With regards to #2 - the assumption with his design appears to be that the input field is long enough to fit the longest username and the password. Given that both the username and the password lengths are typically capped at relatively sho

Arington "covered" my project with a one-liner post that basically asked if anyone's heard of it. This generated some traffic, but it also generated calls from about a dozen VCs that led to a handful of in-person meetings. The odd part is

Don't know about UK, but in Canada one can stop paying taxes once all "domestic ties" are severed. This means closing all bank accounts, disconnecting all phones and selling the car and the real estate (or alternatively leasing it out for a

Yup. I'm sure every network programmer who's worth his salt has a version of stackable abstraction layers library that runs of epoll or a variation thereof, and supports various transports from plain IP through domain sockets and to exotics
