They put Humpty Dumpty back together but they got some of the parts a bit wrong, and he looks like the Halloween version, and it scares children and adults alike.

I had a problem where one of my contracts uninstalled Textsecure, and went back to the vanilla SMS app. Now all the messages he received from me are garbled. Somehow they need a way to disassociate phones AFTER the app has been uninstalled.

Sites need to consider going back to the pre-Double-Click world, where they self hosted and self managed ads. I'd accept that without issue. I don't mind ads, I just can't accept the intrusive tracking, including being retarg

I answered this below, but the environment may well have changed for the better from 15 years ago, but I doubt it. I obviously didn't mean to imply that the security services are "spending their time sitting in leather chairs and

This has always puzzled me about SSL certs. Most site owners want to ensure that communication to and from the server is encrypted and secure from all prying eyes, period. Other site owners also want to add to this the concept of trust, to

That's why any startup that wants business will make an Inc in the US. It's legally much simpler to do so, and leave your offices in the cheap EU. US Inc can employ your offices and at the same time have no people

True, but but the great white shark is also hunted by killer whales, but I think you would probably consider the great white shark to be at the to of the food chain. Humans don't fair too well against a number of large predators either

Autism Spectrum Disorder is an encompassing term for all different types of autism. It makes the point that autism has different forms and falls along a spectrum. Asberger's falls on that spectrum.

My first real interaction with dolphins was sailing around the UK on a tall ship (STS Malcolm Miller) about 25 years ago. As we sailed around Land's End, a pod of dolphins started playing around the boat. I want on watch, so I lay face

Incredibly intelligent and they have long memories. If memory serves me well, there was an example of an octopus remembering a person after 12 years of not seeing them. They escape their aquariums. They squirt water at people they don'

That's a pity. It ended just as it was starting to get really interesting! It is a good read but be aware that this is just an except from a book. Seems like it might be worth buying though. Thanks for sharing.

One of the best APIs I've used is the one from Rackspace on top of their Cloud Files offering. Their documentation is really rather good too. They are simply sitting on top of Akamai and you get a nice REST API to talk to.
