Living in an RV is not "living well". Flush toilets are generally a minimum standard for that.

The point is that the "post-PC era" will make it so that being someone who thinks that you can modify or change the computing experience is relegated to "oddball hobby" status, like it would be if someone today wanted to start playing with

The article is mistitled, as there is literally nothing in there about how he allegedly lives on 7K a year, other than what he eats for dinner (apparently every night.)

This seems wildly impractical, as the guy pulled the label out that still had a UPS label on it, which indicates that they sent it UPS to this facility which then put it in a locker. If they're going to send it UPS anyway, why not just send

You don't really need a whole library to do it, just the first digit is enough. 3 = amex, 4 = visa, 5 = MC, 6 = discover.

The thing that I don't get about Atlassian is that they make gigantic, unwieldy products that have ludicrous hardware requirements for what they are (compare the performance of a mediawiki install and a Confluence install on the same box) y

Yeah, it's pretty crazy, isn't it? Apple would never charge for an upgrade from a shitty screen on a $1000+ laptop. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40663/2011-09-09_2245.png

So your solution to the problem of there being hundreds of thousands of potential tax rates for every single item is to require everyone selling anything online to pay Thomson Reuters for a subscription to their database?

I am really disappointed to hear this news, actually. I would rather Amazon have fought the state's clear attempt to unconstitutionally tax interstate commerce and gotten clear precedent that forcing companies without a physical presence in

To anyone who had a computer in the past 5 years, recorded music is not worth anything. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. If you want to make a pledge to keep paying for buggy whips, go right ahead. I'm sure there are people who would a

I really wish people would stop linking to obvious linkbait articles on Techcrunch. This one is just 8 pages of screencaps from twitter (because I guess copying and pasting was too hard) after a few paragraphs of the same trite "look at me,

What operations in CA? (Almost) Everything I purchase from Amazon comes from Nevada. And no, Lab126/A9/their other affiliates don't count, as they are not the company selling you the product.

Uh, no, they haven't "convinced the public" - it's not as if there's any other way to purchase the tickets to events without engaging TM and their extortionate fees. Trying to pretend like TM is a paragon of the free market winning again is

Wow, a downvote within 30 seconds of posting? "php" == 0 returns true, and this makes sense how?

Sure, but you can't activate it anywhere worth mentioning; Verizon and Sprint won't activate phones they didn't sell.

The ridiculously terrible behavior of == is what makes me the saddest. http://www.php.net/manual/en/types.comparisons.php We then have === which does what == is really supposed to do, but even that still sometimes does the Wrong Thing.

But this an overly-academic approach to the problem. Your interviewers will still write in whatever they write, as colored by their perceptions and rapport with you. If they write that you had a bad interview, then that's going to poison th

They don't care about this. I have reported probably 20 pages that won't show you content unless you "like" them, and they are still up and I have never heard anything in response to my reports.

Oh, thank you for this comment. I wasn't aware that literally everyone who uses vulnerability research as part of their job had had a meeting and elected a spokesperson.

Their theory is that you'll never use 2 GB on your phone alone, so if you want to tether, you'll actually use close to 2GB, and well, that's an extra charge, citizen.

That Comcast is your only choice, and if you disagree with their business practices, usage caps, pricing, or 'network management' that the alternative is dial-up?

It took them a week to release a non-statement, which they only issued after Congresspeople started complaining about why the service was down for so long. This is not a victory for transparency.

I had, and dropped a paid account to free. I wasn't above my quota, and was basically just paying as a "I like what you guys are doing" sort of feature. I no longer like what they're doing, so the gravy train stops.

No, it isn't used for "some grounds", it's used for content (in this case, code) that directly violates your copyright, period. The DMCA process is very clear, and it isn't for "I don't like $content". Abuse of the DMCA is already dramati
