The amount of sites that disallow "special characters" is annoying me, esp when they "encourage" tough passwords... it would also be nice, before sending me a password reminder, if you reminded me of your rules of your p

Android since Gingerbread has had superior design for me, but I'm more of a function over form kind of guy and don't want to mess around with things looking pretty when I need to get stuff done.

It's scary that this kind of thing ever comes up, you would think this kind of thing is blindingly obvious. Having said said, I seem to recall even Paypal asking me to send them copies of the my passport/ID and various other info

That means I can't just click next, next, next, install, finish without getting "infected", and the guys making these installers knows this - and takes advantage of it to make extra money. This has to be one of the oldest t

My first Android was a cheapy which I knew I could install CM on and get a stock Android feeling. I like a few of the additional touches that CM added though. Same as you, several phones later and I just rooted, unlocked and installed a Jel

It made me laugh too, and I got the sarc, but I think it's the last bit which really killed the karma... And we're lauding this accomplishment? Or maybe add a </sarc> next time just to make it clear for everyone :)

I guess it depends on the exact side effects, but if it causes more pain and suffering, then a more painful death is worse than a peaceful one, and on a per person basis - some may take the view they will die anyway and it's worth the

Sure I agree, but that's just common sense, use something that fits your purpose, it's the same for any piece of software.

Like Karunamon said, it's all about who you follow. I use Twitter exclusively for work, Facebook for personal use. Remember, Twitter is completely open, so think of it as an extension to your work persona. Using Tweetdeck, I have a few

As far as alternatives go, I usually specialize based on what my needs are. Well, the alternative is always to write it yourself. The same could be said for jQuery or any framework (and many have been advocating doing that) but it's

For me, Twitter is actually very usual tool for keeping up to date on industry news, blog posts, articles etc, I use it ONLY for work and not for personal stuff. Using TweetDeck, I find it invaluable (and I never thought I would before I st

When I started as an intern developing, I could quite easily spend 70-hours a week in the office, plus my whole weekend on my computer at home. Not because I had to, but because I was keen to figure out how everything fit together, why some

Not to mention the amount of paper, energy to print and distribute. I know some people to like to thumb through physical books, and I'm sounding like a tree hugger, but small differences from everyone can make big impacts.

The most troubling truth of this for me is... well, all of it!

Yes, I understand that, but if you have 2 passwords, each of which unlocks different plaintext within your encrypted conatainer, then theoretically you could never be found out... (but as you saying, assuming the implementation is correct)

Without a SOPA style blackout campaign by the major players, the message will never reach the masses, which is unfortunate. But this time the major players are not only in bed with the government, they've been caught with their pants d

What happens in situations like this if you use a hidden volume within an encrypted file using something like Truecrypt, which allows plausible deniability? You've supplied the "password" but the real meaty stuff is still hid

I'm currently living in Canada, and for a while people would say "Oh, you're from the London UK, I heard they have mass surveillance there and more cameras than people[1]" . The worst to judge were Americans I met. Well

That depends who you ask, to be I struggle with iOS, I prefer the Android experience, and if I don't like something I am free to change that application for something which fits better for me.

I used Glassdoor to get a rough idea of what salary to ask for when I moved countries. Same issue as you. It massively peevs me when I want to download a free-to-try piece of software, or a whitepaper and they require my email address so th

Better yet, we should demand to open source their firmware if they want our trust, after all of this. If Apple open-sourced their code, how long do you think it will take before a dozen cheap chinese knock-offs appear with an almost exact

So do we believe the new Firefox OS will be the way forward, as a good alternative open source OS? I haven't looked into it much yet, and the hardware of the ZTE is severely underpowered at the moment for my needs, but if this is truly

Ahhh, ok, so along with @agilecoder comment above, this makes sense. If I have this right then nn LCA sounds similar to an LMO (Labor Market Opinion) in Canada, you need that to prove you are skilled, after which you can apply for the H1B v

thanks, didn't realise the launch hadn't finished, the news articles are popping up exactly as it is happening! So I guess add around another $350-400 to each of those of offline/without contract prices.
