I would avoid Mozy. I was using them with their unlimited plan. Less than a year ago, they dropped their unlimited plan and the new plan would have quadrupled my costs. I switched to CrashPlan and have been happy so far. With my current u

Moral of the story: Don't be a dick. I can't remember the last time I flipped someone off. Certainly not some truck driver passing another truck slower than I would like. I reserve the middle finger for the epically stupid, where someone

I know of at least one company that tried this and failed. It was quite a long time ago and targeted large companies, but it did work. To give you an idea of how long ago, it was written for PocketPC 3.0. The company is now defunct.

Somewhat disappointing. The subject matter was not a difficult one. Not to say it wasn't well done, but it was not as challenging of a subject as a person or animal would be. I think Sofronis Efstathiou sums it up nicely in the article.

The eye opener for me is the lack of end to end security. I generally avoid doing anything requiring https on my iPhone, but now I know to NEVER do anything that requires security on Opera Mini. Of course, this assumes that it actually ge

For my last side gig I charged $100/hr. I didn't need the gig, nor did I really want it, since I had just changed real jobs. They didn't like the price, but went for it anyway.

There is some serious smack-down in that NASA article. "In the early 20th century there were periods of quiet lasting almost twice as long as the current spell." "In summary, "the current minimum is not abnormally low or long."" "Hathaway a

For those of you who swear in your code base, I ask you this: is it ok in your company to swear in a meeting? The code you write isn't just for you, it is for everyone on the team, including people you haven't met yet. Is that what you re
