I wonder about this, same for my bank. My theory is alphanumeric plus one, maybe two symbols means there is a lower probability of some sort of SQL injection. Perhaps a greater risk for exposing one account, but lower risk for exposing many

I find this funny too. Just as technical, only more jargon. "These devices are continuing to use an IP address they have been leased well beyond the time they should. (In technical terms, the device's DHCP client software stops renewing its

Agreed. I left "overtly" with intent. There is something far more deliberate and newsworthy, IMHO.

I'm annoyed by people saying things without saying things. Passive voice destroys clarity. I edited it below. Apple does not state nor condone it . My revision is, however, an example how active voice exposes intent. Why don't we write wit

I had heard you didn't like DHH before as well. I thought it was DHH being DHH. I couldn't have been more wrong.

I admit I'm naive. I don't know how efficient the Red Cross is, nor other operational issues. They are, however, there. I gave to the Red Cross not just for Haiti, but for something else that will happen. It saddens me I donated because of

I went by Gruber's post for the timing. I didn't click the GitHub gist history [ http://gist.github.com/118964 ], which confirms you. Everybody? Denouement? Critical mass? Please cite. In one day on news.yc, I've seen two Markdown critiques

Aye. Seems like this was submitted in response to the dead post calling out Atwood. The two months since Github forked Markdown suggests to me Markdown isn't at critical mass, ergo Atwood's stewardship criticism seems misplaced. If he argu

I don't know Atwood. Everything I know about him is what I've read -- waxing poetic on software development/engineering. I visited his site after seeing this post, then gleaned what might be the "story". This post picks a fight. Atwood has

This afternoon, I installed node.js, started reading papers on operational transformation and sketched ideas based on the Jef Raskin's humane interface. This is great news. And yet, I learned something.

In addition, Buffet likes consumer monopolies -- brands people recognize with a product or service. GEICO and Dairy Queen, Orange Julius, The Pampered Chef -- all recognizable brands and ones people don't associate with BH. This is a good t

Or perhaps they plan on something else and ads are a natural extension. The patent is a device to prevent others from placing ads on the OS. This is my private hope anyway.

This has nothing to do with the patent system. The invention is specific to Ryan and Ellie. Esoteric and fun, IMHO. I hope Ellie is a patent lawyer. It would be delicious. [0045] In the ideal situation where Ellie accepts the diamond ring,

It seems to me the largest industries -- the ones bound by regulation or the way it's always been done are the ones most ripe for change. News, real estate, health care, automotive and agriculture come to mind. We're seeing some of these ch
