Have you looked at JungleDisk? I have never used Dropbox, but from what I can tell they are similar. JungleDisk works with S3 or RackSpace Cloud storage. You can store files encrypted or unencrypted. Everything is transmitted over SSL. My d

The greater point is getting lost in the BS statistic. Make no mistake; the debate could be skewed any which way if you start with the right question. There was an episode of "Penn and Teller: Bullshit!"[1] where they talk to a pollster who

I am not so sure. We have seen this before. It goes something like this:"What's the problem with trading a little privacy for security? I don't have anything to hide." These people who have nothing to hide because they have never done anyth

If it's available for purchase/download elsewhere it also needs to be available in-app for the 30% fee. It can't be priced higher in-app. That is the dilemma for the retailers. Here are the choices: 1) Pull out of IOS completely 2) Lose mon

Rhino is fine if you have to use the JVM. If you have a choice then I would avoid it. It performs like a pig. The re-throws everything as a RuntimeException. It uses statics all over the place so having more than one instance can cause all

Be firm, but cordial. Tell them you are not interested and the repeated phone calls are a waste of your time as well as theirs. If it keeps up tell them you feel like it's getting to the point of harrassment. Tell them you will call the bet

Only problem is it backfired on them the moment they set up the in person meeting. The offshoring company doesn't know they were being played. Anybody who would agree to an in person meeting- hell, these guys even initiated it- is a hot lea

I would hope so. My decision to purchase an iPad was based, in part, on the availability of applications that would likely no longer be available if this policy were to go into effect. As a consumer, this feels completely deceptive. For me,

Localization is complex, but it is nothing to be scared of. It can be done with proper forethought and planning, but it is by no means trivial. The translation itself can be tedious. Actually getting the translations onto your site is more

I also worry (with some incidental evidence) that improvements in helmet tech have actually amplified the problem. If my head is "safely" encased in space age materials, I'm much more likely to use it to whack on people. I remember readin

You think spammers don't know what they're doing? They have all sorts of methods for harvesting addresses, ranging from scraping to data theft. They have figured out how to send a virtual shit ton of messages a day at almost no cost to them

This is kind of off topic, but the Opera system tray icon drives me nuts and it is probably driving someone else nuts too. For whatever reason, the /notrayicon switch does not work for me after I upgraded. I'm not sure if previous versions

Umm... Just don't use it. No one is forcing you to. Some of us are happy to have it, even if it does have some quirks.

From an old comment of mine: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=735499 The admission test itself is surprisingly simple. There are actually two of them and you only need to pass one. The first test is the Wonderlic and the second is a t

Another case: MS SQL Server. It's a real bear to connect to it from unix since (last I checked) there are no official drivers. You have to use some unix ODBC open source stuff and it's just not suitable for production work. FYI, you proba

The iPhone 4 screen is, without question, vastly superior to the iPad screen. The difference is so plainly obvious that there is no comparing the two. That said, the iPad screen is still beautiful and is perfectly suitable for reading. My K

Assume you're in Apple's marketing department. How would you differentiate an iPhone from a 3G iPod Touch? Think hard about features, pricing and how the market is likely to react. Do you have two distinct products that can be marketed at t

Bugs can be of varying severity. In some environments a crash bug (especially when using a dev branch) is tolerable and can be recovered from quickly and easily. In some systems this is par for the course and there are processes whose job i

The article headline mentions Lua. The submitter could have confused it with Lisp. Or maybe the submitter changed it thinking a Lisp headline would draw more attention. In any case, the rule change could potentially include Lisp even if it
