FWIW we (getdpd.com) totally agree and are working on adding this feature to our system soon. Vendors will be able to upload the file variants themselves or we will do the conversion on the backend.

You need to go back to the 80s to see when power really peaked. There were 1.5L engines in the mid 80s that produced in excess of 1,500HP in race trim. There is one on display at the BMW factory in SC that overran the dyno in qualifying tri

The problem with perl is that it got a bad rap and has never shaken it. The "perl is line noise that makes magic" sort of reputation. The people who love perl don't seem to be interested in moving the language forward and shedding the old

Ctl+1 through 9 switches spaces directly. If you enable the spaces menu bar in system preferences, you can click on the icon and choose which space to switch to (in snow leopard at least).

I can give you my experience with TDD: You generally don't need to change directions very much. TDD will expose bad interfaces or interfaces that aren't abstract enough early on because you can't test them easily. And if you do decide to

Yeah, the nuts and bolts of selling the product is the easy part. There are loads of services out there to sell digital goods including the one that the submitter used and my own service (shameless plug: link in my profile anyone is intere

I can confirm this. I run a service that specializes in digital product delivery. Spreadsheets are also very popular. The hard part is identifying the niche and being patient enough to see it through. A lot of people seem to think they c

a freelancer wouldn't know and if they did they wouldn't care. (i am a freelancer.) we're talking about websites that are in the top 5% of all sites (by traffic) that would even need to think about using something like phpc or hphp. the n

it's not really so much a brand name as just getting the concept out there. php developers don't realize that there are option when it comes to the runtime. i would guess that the majority of them wouldn't even know to look for phpc or any

that's a double edged sword though. if you don't have enough spare cpu, you won't be able to handle any sort of spike in usage. say from an advertising campaign that works a little too well or if a server goes down. and once you start max

modern cars are much lower than cars from the 30s. the driveshaft pretty much has to be recessed into the body to give any useful ground clearance and to protect the drive shaft from speed bumps and road hazards.

It's a shame but I don't think I'll ever see digital systems in widespread use in my lifetime. Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) systems are out there but they're generally not trusted. People understand mags and vacuum pumps

I pay $0.085 per Kw/H. That's lower than most of the US though. I can power my 1400 sqft house with a macbook pro running 24x6 for about $90/month.

I am a freelance web developer, so maybe I can show the other side of the coin to you. For $15k from me, you would receive: 1) a complete website built to your specs (including advice on how to best design your site if desired) 2) a period

FWIW, there isn't much instrument training for your private certificate. You basically just need to be able to understand VOR navigation, manage attitude and speed, and navigate based on instructions from the tower using your instruments.

I had a similar experience with BCBS. I paid them for insurance while I was between jobs. Called them up when I ready to cancel to find out that I apparently had a one-month plan. Umm.. OK? Who signs up for a one-month insurance plan?

PostgreSQL gets a lot of flack for not having replication. It's been my experience that it just doesn't matter in practice. Let me explain. MySQL's performance sucks. It's great lightly loaded and with little concurrency. Add load and i
