Is that in writing anywhere? The USAA website suggests otherwise. https://www.usaa.com/inet/pages/pub_eligibility_task_entry Who is eligible? Active, retired and honorably separated officers and enlisted personnel of the U.S. military.

Of course she does. I don't even know with any certainty that she would dislike my having pictures of exes in my Facebook profile. I don't know that she would want any kind of explanation either. What I do know is I roll my eyes every time

It's not a matter of being ashamed of ex-girlfriends (maybe sometimes it is). The problem is my wife doesn't want to go on my Facebook profile and see pictures of a dozen ex-girlfriends. And I don't want those showing up in there automatica

Exactly. But we should wait and see how this plays out. Maybe they realized that strategy was a mistake to begin with and are trying to correct it. He hasn't necessarily been turned into a scapegoat yet.

Are you a football fan? The CEO job at HP right now is pretty much like the head coach job with the Oakland Raiders. It's a completely dysfunctional organization. If you succeed you're the genius that was able to turn it around. If you don'

As a Netflix user for 5+ years, I for one can't wait until a viable competitor with equivalent selection emerges. Not trying to single you out, but let me get this straight... You liked the service enough to keep it for 5 years, the servi

All there theives seem to just open it up and start using it. Every missing/recovered laptop story I've ever seen on HN has a screenshot of the thief on Facebook. I imagine there is some degree of selection bias. The story about the recov

I get that Yahoo could stay afloat a while longer by riding the coattails of Netflix, but what could Netflix possibly gain by the merger? If Netflix ever proposed such an atrocity it would have to go down as one of the most boneheaded decis

It would be foolish to dismiss this guy based on a belief that someone that good would not be working independently. Maybe he's got a record that governments and security firms don't want to touch. Maybe he's philosophically opposed to work

Sure, he could be lying. There is very little to substantiate his account. But there is nothing in the article about his story changing once the SFPD said it wasn't them.

The article specifically says that 6 people are alleged to have shown up with badges, claiming to be with the police. So it can't be explained away as one old nutjob reliving the glory days of busting down doors and roughing up perps. That

Yes, but they probably get a pittance per Netflix subscriber compared to cable. In their minds they're probably asking themselves why would anyone pay $15/mo for the Starz cable broadcast when they could pay $8 for Starz on demand via Netfl

They don't need to do what Iran did. What Iran did was get a cert that was automatically trusted by nearly every web browser in the world because the issuer was a trusted CA by default. You only need a trusted cert if you don't want users t

This is FUD. He doesn't seem to think there's any danger to other manufacturers shipping Windows phones. Wouldn't they be in a similar situation due to the MS/Nokia partnership? I am doubtful that this will have any significant impact on ma

You are sorely mistaken. First, the article clearly states that the user downloaded and opened the file. It was not some automatic process put into motion by the mere fact that someone emailed him, as you suggest in your rant. Second, I sug

FYI, I edited my comment once to remove an errant comma. The content never changed. I definitely did not have anything in there about feature phones. I was somewhat confused by your reference to that and previous comments I made. Are you su

I'm glad yours is working out. I know people that absolutely love their Android phones. I know some others that don't like them so much. After 5 phones, 3 manufacturers and 2 carriers I have seen enough to believe it's not an isolated thing

I owned 3 different Android phones over the past 3 years. My wife owned 2 models different from mine over the same span. My experience is based on using 5 different Android models from different manufacturers. Although I'm focusing now on

That makes sense, but opening up Facetime doesn't necessarily solve that problem. It has to be open and all these video chat vendors have to decide to embrace it, possibly abandoning years of investment in their own protocol. In general, I

I'm genuinely curious why it even matters whether it's open or not. I get that he said it would be open and now it's not. But beyond that why does it even matter? I can use Tango, Qik, Skype, etc. I think there's an iOS app out there that d

Just playing devil's advocate here... Is the wireless cap really a bad thing? I have a 2GB cap right now. I still stream music, surf and watch the occasional YouTube video. I haven't gotten close to the cap yet. I pay about as much as I did

I think a lot of people would disagree with that statement. If you are committing that frequently then there are probably instances where you are checking in half written code that does not even compile. If you are using DVCS chances are yo

I wonder how many Netflix members are also Amazon Prime members. I'm currently on a $15/mo 2-disc/streaming plan. But I also have Amazon Prime. I have the Amazon channel on my Roku and have checked out the catalog a couple times. At a glanc

Interesting. Do you know of any alternatives? One of the things I really like about JungleDisk is it uses _my_ S3 bucket. I have apps that use the data in my S3 bucket and it is also nice to be able to access it using JungleDisk.
