Sorry, I wasn't trying to be offensive or indict the author. I also wasn't disagreeing with him. I was only trying to add my lens of commentary. It wasn't to say that the author wasn't already taking this under advisemen

Not to be pedantic, but, doesn't it always? I think it's easy to blame other people for problems, but the path to self-improvement is internalization. Someone on your team missed a deadline which fubarr'd your project? Your f

On some level I see it as a willful misreading. On the one hand, TechCrunch has every right to refuse money. On the other hand, this PR firm has every right to offer it. This isn't a bribe, there's no indication that they're

This is so ridiculously cynical. If this were the first in this long line of crap-quisitions, I'd disagree with you, but I see Yahoo as the Island of Lost Startups. Tying multiple disparate teams into a cohesive product will be really

Why don't they just do A-rounds for YC companies? Wouldn't that be the most obvious, and potentially profitable, play?

Weebly always looks like that. I was using Heap Analytics on a Weebly site and didn't understand any of the variable names at first. They're definitely using naming conventions in the source that make it easier for them to manage

They could, but Hootsuite pays money for access. Hootsuite is also not just for Twitter; they allow access and control of multiple social profiles. Granted most people use it only for Twitter, but the fact remains, they have a product peopl

No, not left handed, but I didn't get the infinite visual cue until you explained it here or the border. The red bar on the bottom woul probably be fine of you could make it like 70% transparent until it gets toward the end, the vacill

You can't really just walk in and say "I wanna optimize your shit yo!". The way I would approach it would be to attend a board meeting or email the Managing Director of the charity directly. Folks at the retail level of soup

Have you thought about displaying a semi-transparent bar to show the buffer? Or maybe a one or 2 px white mark creeping up the side of the screen (turning to red as it get towards the top)? Just some thoughts. If you have a buffer, and I&#x

I don't want to debate semantics or linguistics, but I believe the comment you're responding to is insinuating that "indie" refers to complete independence (no external masters) whereas "independent" means priv

I don't believe Zynga has any obligation to provide standardized royalty licensing to any particular person or entity. Whether it's ok or not is entirely up to Zynga and their counsel.

Out of curiosity, could you elaborate a bit more on what's causing downward pressure in the Domain market? Is it the proliferation of new TLDs?

Protecting trademarks is serious business. Remember when Monster Cable sued Monster Mini-golf? Personally, I think Zynga has more important things to worry about, and I get this is a big deal for the startup, but it's just a corporate

I think you're being downvoted for linking to your comments without explaining why they're relevant. I would assume, though, given their scale, that someone at one of these companies has the necessary clearance to contest. I think

When I see comments like this I thank my lucky stars I'm not slanging DWDM/Fiber anymore. I've said this before but it's worth saying again: In the United States we have two classes of Internet. One is the consumer net,

I think of the phone as one of the most valuable tools you can use during the unscalable part at the beginning of the startup. To this day, a face to face meeting trumps all other forms of communication in sincerity and authenticity. If I&#

Just chiming in. This post lacks data. If you're going to quote those publications, you have a duty to link to your sources. I can very easily say something like "$MYCOMPANY is the undisputed leader in the $INDUSTRY. Everyone else

Also, I think it's worth noting how great the Obihai is. It's a great little ATA with a ton of features. My only complaint is that the Obi can be confusing from a consumer perspective. It's not clear, from their marketing, wh

That's exactly my point. In the article they highlight the end result, which is frankly boring, instead of the setup, which is where they shine. There's always a market for well done abstraction.

by josh2600 13y ago
This is cool. It's nice that you can register an ATA. This is not really new functionality though, I mean any service can do this from voip.ms to flowroute. I think it would be cooler if the article showed how you can use the scriptabi

Well, that was an epic education. I feel rather foolish, but I really appreciate you taking the time to help correct my mistake :). I'm not as well-versed as I should be on wireless tech :/. That's really interesting; could y

We ran openSIPS before but we found the pace of development to be higher on Kamailio in general. Plus most of our customers are running it instead of openSIPS. We're currently trying to build the world's smallest cluster; seven ra

A little more complicated than that :). So Here's a brief overview of what we're doing and why we're doing it this way. Asterisk doesn't scale without a lot of cruft and it's not accessible. At the high end of the m

I know but you have to understand, Joel makes excellent points, but if most of the systems are written in COBOL it makes them hard to extend over time. We're talking about software from 1984 in some cases although it's all littere

Just an FYI, 2600hz, where I work, is building an free/open-source operating system for Telecom that could easily support nationwide IP-based 911 service. I just don't have any lobbying money :).

911 isn't being done well anywhere IMHO. If you look at the way 911 works, there's no location information unless you use the cellular radio (and this assumes your carrier is using the cell tower to anchor your location). If you u
