Actually, why not? Looking for that "aspmx.l.google.com" entry in the MX record would let them know, with a high degree of certainty, that Google is the login authority for that particular email address. Is there something I'

You misunderstand that sentence. They are referring to the number of updates they can deliver per unit of Google outbound bandwidth, not the amount of time it takes to run that update. The sentence that you elide with ellipses makes this c

I really enjoyed that whole series - learned a lot about 3D programming, which is part of the field I've never touched outside of motion planning in college.

I'm a bit surprised by the HD spec: HDD: Seagate 2.5” SATA HDD 320GB So, not an SSD? Don't SSDs use less power than spinners? Optimizing price on this one choice is strange, to me, considering they are running an Atom CPU. I&#x27

I was actually just about to post a corollary to Betteridge's law of headlines, which is: Any headline asking if Goldman Sachs committed malfeasance can be answered with "yes."

"fewer" bills back, not "less". pedantic? yes. but as a fellow member of the "give-em-too-much-to-get-fewer-back" tribe, I feel that you might appreciate this particular bit of pedantry.

I use Google Apps as my server, which collects into "Sent Items" any email I sent from the POP client (and makes them available over IMAP should I need them). For mail sent from my IMAP clients, I use "automatically BCC mysel

Certainly it's less shameful than working at Betabeat, judging by the writing in this article.

POP for the "authoritative copy" downloaded to my desktop; IMAP for devices to see "what's new since I was last at my desk". POP is signficantly faster than IMAP for the former - no extraneous folder scans, no slow

I call shenanigans. In the time-lapse, the funnel "jumps" upward right when the drop falls (0:56). Unless the funnel's mounted on a spring (?), this is a clear indication that somebody interfered with the drip. I declare t

WOW. The Harmony One has doubled in price since I bought my (two) in late 2010 for $159.99. Now that I've moved houses I've got a spare one in the basement. I guess it's time to craigslist that bad boy.

It also took me awhile to figure out what ngrok does. Once I did, I can see the usefulness for sure. One path would be a list like you provide above, a sort of "your situation / your solution" approach, something like: You .

If I could upvote this twice, I would. Software engineering is a great profession, but it's certainly not overpaid (well, the bad ones are overpaid, but the good ones are often underpaid). There are many relatively straightforward routes t

Exactly. Just look at the Spitzer thing - outed for political reasons based on data collected "because of the terrorists". And do those who say "if you've got nothing to hide, it's not a problem," I ask the classic question: "so, why do yo

While I'm not sure about the "radically transparent" bit, I do like this statement: It might sound crazy, but we see see customer support as the new marketing department. And so far it's working great for us. We do this as well, for a pro

You're right, we do start with a 3rd person view of Earth .. but I still interpreted the motion as translation rather than rotation. By your interpretation, the camera lens is at a fixed point and then simply "swings" from pointing at Earth
