If the Apple App Store had an API, I would be tempted to write a bot to buy me a highly rated app every ~3 days. Didn't try very hard, but I was unable to determine whether the Android Market has an API for purchasing paid apps. In that ca

Is there a way to tell if the Heroku piece of the deal is still active? I suppose we may know after it expires, but at this point, I don't see a definitive confirmation either way of whether it is active or not. It would be a great excuse

I just attended a DVCS talk today ( http://worldtour.fogcreek.com/ ) and one simple difference between SVN and DVCSs is still fresh in my mind: When you are pushing your changes back to trunk, how safe is that process? In a normal SVN workf

Nope. It belongs to Tim Ferriss, author of 4 Hour Workweek. He's pretty famous among hackers and freelancers. It was the only site that came to mind that naturally used 'ww' at the end. :)

I honestly wasn't expecting this announcement for a long time. Many people had requested this functionality, including additions to the base S3 APIs, and I knew that the easy solution was to extend only CloudFront functionality without brea

From experience with the Mac version of 1Password: 1Password's integration with browsers is great. I want to save my web site passwords, but I don't want them to be always available for any user of my computer. With 1Password, I only need

To me, "could not say how they would use" is entirely different from "could not precisely say how they would use." Call it editing for length, but it does change the title's meaning significantly. The first implies - potentially - that I
