Isn't that essentially what a PO Box is? The only caveat with a PO Box is that it's specific to a zip-code, but the principle is the same. I can't help but think that there might be a business idea wrapped up in there somewhere, or at the

Excuse my skepticism, but would Google pulling out ACTUALLY do anything? I can understand the argument that innovative businesses don't want anything to do with them, but again the Chamber of commerce is an organization aimed at protectin

Doppler for Heroku ( http://dopplerapp.com/ ) works like a charm for having a quick rails console on your iPhone. It also allows you to provision your app and run rake tasks as well. I'd be interested in something that also allowed code ed

I can attest to that. We have two main "sides" of our app, one side that allows for editing of rules and another that just applies those rules on transactions. It took us much longer to build the editing side than than the transaction sid

IANAL but wouldn't these Terms of Service be unenforceable? It doesn't seem like Sony is offering anything extra in consideration, rather just limiting your rights. If they change their ToS to limit your rights, wouldn't they have to offe

We are self funded, we didn't hire a designer for our iOS app, rather for a web-app that just went into public beta this past week. Thus far we've funded ourselves out of client projects and a small grant we received about a year and a half

In my experience a designer isn't as much useful for simple designs or "look and feel" so much as the design process helps you along product-market fit. When my co-founder and I started building our company, we made sure we followed the pr

In a world of virtualized services, blocking IP or MAC will also only get you so far. It's fairly easy to switch servers onto a different IP address, a different MAC address by simply using a different machine or configuration. DNS is the

I live in Madison right now, and I fear that I'm being spoiled on good beer. Between New Glarus, Capitol Brewery, Ale Asylum, and Lake Louie the selection is amazing. I went down to Orlando for a conference not too long ago, and found th

I am just speculating here but my hunch would be that the value of Google stock exchanged could pose a difference between the time the deal was agreed upon, and the time at which the deal closed.

Not only that, but an individual company (as a single rational actor) has every incentive to hire workers with less "perceived" credentials and more actual work credentials. Part of the reason I believe the education bubble is a bubble and

It doesn't seem like its different people from Heroku. If you've seen Mark Benioff's cloudforce pitch (link below), he mentions that they're partnering with VMWare to launch a PaaS similar to Heroku (which they acquired in December). That

Jae is thinking in exactly the right direction. The challenge I feel is not building a better EMR - but rather its convincing hospitals that their EMRs really really suck and the $MMs they spent on "Traditional EMR" was all a waste. I think

I would suspect it is more of the latter right now, but as apps come out for the iPad, I think it's definitely going to be an asset for doctors, especially in the inpatient setting where doctors need their technology to travel with them. I

I've had this problem when playing sc2 as well, and if I play for any appreciable amount of time, even disabling automatic graphics switching doesn't help. I've actually talked to Blizzard about this (I thought it was a problem confined to

If you were a CNN reporter, would you rather go to a fancy wedding or a disaster region? I can't help but think this factors a bit into where the reporters are going. It also saddens me that we as a society are willing drive our attention

You're mostly right - the one caveat to this is that most providers are not as "revenue focused" as you'd think. Most of them are more focused on the potential outcome ratings improvement that they could see. Often times this means going

Is it just me, or does this sound like the plot line of a B-rate Thriller? I guess it could also be the basis for a reality t.v. show. Either way, I hope they record at least some of it for some ancillary income - who knows maybe webisodes

It isn't about HBGary being competent or not, its about whether or not they were able to fulfill the letter of their contracted terms. If the FBI believes that the company can still fulfill its contract terms, and in a lot of situations tha

The reason one base pair can encode 2 bits is that T-C and C-T are different valid base pairs. The same is true for A-G and G-A as well. A "single" strand (the famous double helix) of DNA actually contains 2 copies of genetic information

It seems that the only way to actually be able to give those officials any form of repercussions would be to actually sue the government for damages. I sincerely hope that the affected parties do sue the government successfully.

He hasn't really cost anything to the US government or the mint. There's no real harm to taxpayers here. The people he's getting his money from is his bank/credit card company. If you want to say "screw you" say it not as a tax payer, but

This is true, however, many times YC doesn't invest the first time a pair of founders shows up at their doorstep. Even Drew of Dropbox didn't get into YC the first time around.

Rails has been bundled with the developer tools for MacOSX since 10.5 - I admit that it was a bit annoying if you were compiling Ruby yourself in days prior.

I find Schneier's blogs infuriatingly annoying, mainly because to me it feels like he doesn't interject his own ideas, rather focusing on content from other locations (even if some of those locations are references to himself). I feel that

From Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_X-ray ) The Health Physics Society (HPS) reports that a person undergoing a backscatter scan receives approximately 0.05 μSv (or 0.005 mrems) of radiation; American Science and Engin
