What he's saying is that there are plenty of companies who have purchased software from companies that have since folded. Obviously, any support from that defunct company would then also be gone.

I'm more curious why a "secure" PIN is simply left, automated, as a message. A more "secure" option, I would think, would be to require some sort of input from the person who answered (say, "Press 1 for the PIN" where that number is randomi

I agree - I'm not going to argue that children aren't a lot of work or take a tremendous amount of (what used to be) free time. However, I've found that it really makes me evaluate what I do, put it into the perspective, and maintain focus

Of course, the iPhone 3GS was only available on AT&T, which leaves out all Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile customers. The iPhone 4 is still $100 for an "old" phone, where they can get a new one for the same $100, or less. Among my less tec

Wow, I have no idea why you have those numbers! I guesssome important details must have been left out? I have two vehicles less than 5 years old, with two drivers, with way more than $300k coverage for liability and comprehensive, and a $0

Who and/or what defines "good" and "evil" for you? I see the list of you-may-nots on your site, but those also aren't (a) conclusive and (b) strictly defined (what constitutes an 'extreme' position, etc?). It's evident when certain articles

In the spirit of fairness - really? Communist Germany, USSR, Communist China/Mao, North Korea, Mussolini's Italy, etc.? All of those were or are "religious" governments?

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking about, but the Nokia business-oreinted phones E-series come with SIP capabilites natively (or one can use a third party client). I've used it on my E73.

Hmmm, this combination works correctly in Office 2008 on my MacBook Pro (used almost daily in Excel and Word) in Office 2008 [ver. 12.2.3 (091001) on OS X 10.6.4].

I'll concede, it isn't perfect and has quite a few quirks, which I can mostly avoid now. However, in my use case some features outweigh the inconveniences (i.e. exporting data). And it's free while all the alternatives I'm looked at aren't.

Oracle actually maintains it's own Java cross platform application that many of my coworkers use all day, every day (I use it periodically for some very handy features) - SQL Developer. It's actually quite responsive and usable considering.

While I haven't followed this situation intently, what I don't understand is: why do they have to provide so much support for free users? I always thought it is rather common to have free users limited to FAQs and articles/tutorials rather

I would argue that it's hard to tell when someone replies at all. While I appreciate minimalism I think the comments page is lacking. Let me preface my complaint with the fact that HN is probably the only site I visit frequently, due to the

I believe another 'cost' is that the vendor gets a cut of payment (a certain percentage). Warning: that's what I've read in the past.

I have to disagree. Most doctors will agree that losing up to two pounds per week for a healthy adult is acceptable and normal during the course of intensive exercise. Much like matwood, I was ~205 at 6' with an athletic build. I wasn't ove

I think it's also important to make a distinction about the weight difference between machine and free weight exercises. It's not a 1:1 ratio. It's easy to grunt it out when you don't have to worry about a large, blunt object falling on you
