Is Plurk a major competitor? No offense to them but I hadn't heard about them until today.

Probably reliability. From Intel's docs: X25-M: 1,200,000 Hours X25-E: 2,000,000 Hours I'd be willing to replace them more regularly for the added capacity though.

I'm speculating, but I'd guess this was the fault of poor management of an external contractor or partner. We don't know for sure who actually developed the code, just who's hosting it. It's not like similar things haven't happened before:

The problem affects a vanishing small group of people. Most either: 1. have no trouble with it in the first place 2. open "the internet" (some search engine) and type it into the search box not knowing it's not the address bar. Then they p

This is a legitimate reaction. I'm having trouble finding references on my iPhone, but I've heard that the standard seasonal flu has a similar or higher fatality rate than H1N1. If that's true, this new variant, while intellectually interes

The article wasn't just about bankers, but it seems some of them are no more fiscally responsible with their own money than they were with others'. Only after personally crashing and burning have some of them learned. Makes me wonder what,

The thing that's new is now the legal system isn't even involved. There isn't a lawsuit, just a letter to Apple making unverifiable claims.

This has nothing to do with DTrace, and everything with this: http://blogs.netapp.com/dave/2007/09/netapp-sues-sun.html Which I don't think has been settled yet. (Couldn't get links to work nicely)

So is Windows with Windows Services for UNIX. It's available for Windows Server (2003 and 2008) and Vista/7 (Ultimate, and Enterprise). I still wouldn't call it a *nix.

I imagine they've fixed it by now, but both ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick leaked memory last time I used them, which made them unsuitable for use in a long running process handling millions of images. Switching to FreeImage not only allowe

You forgot phone D that claims to support phonebook access when queried programmatically but crashes if you try to use it. Or phone E that supports camera access but returns all images rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Both of these are real bu

Have you used android devices not made by google? Of course all devices released by google will be consistent. As more players enter this space, and each takes liberties with what libraries are available or how well they're implemented, and

I've been saying this the whole time and nobody seems to view it as a serious problem. Sure, there are users who will use the same username and password on every site, and there's no hope for them. However, there is a class of users who mig

I really admire the Sun Kenai (Cloud) API: http://kenai.com/projects/suncloudapis/pages/HelloCloud It's a delightfully clean RESTful JSON API.

Forgive me, but do you work somewhere where you have access to what's coming down the Android pipeline? You're in for an unpleasant surprise. Most of the devices I've seen are great by themselves. If I played with one in a store I'd want

J2ME does just what you suggest. They're called JSRs. I know from experience that doesn't work, because even if the platform doesn't target the lowest common denominator, app developers will out of necessity. It's too expensive to optimiz

Form factor is only one problem. At work I've seen a couple not yet released Android phones, and each OEM feels the need to customize Android itself. One even modified the maps API to be incompatible with the G1/myTouch. Others replace a

I don't know the details of your particular situation. That said, I've been in situations where that "single client" accounts for 75% of the user base and more of the revenue. Sometimes you give the client anything they ask for :)

I'm sure they're banking on the quality of 3G VoIP calls being low enough that you'll want to place a normal call whenever possible. People already complain endlessly about their voice service dropping. I suspect data is worse, and VoIP wi

Windows flash sucks too. Hulu at 1920x1080 on my Tv uses 100% of one core to play back video that windows media player can do with 5 to 10 percent utilization on a single core.

Working as an employee at a startup is a gamble. A startup employee needs to be willing to look out for himself or herself. Employees need to be willing to pick up and leave if they're consistently treated poorly. Unpaid, un-comped overtim

It's definitely an interesting idea and solves a couple problems, but I'd be worried to have the stability of my system depend on the stability of x-windows. It scares me the same way windows' http.sys does.

The Google Voice app in no way affects AT&T. Even with Google Voice, cell phone minutes and data are still used. SMS revenue is potentially at risk, but PNS is a bigger threat to that than Google Voice. Apple is very likely acting alone

The person to whom you replied did no such thing. For someone so caught up in correctness, it's surprising you can't be bothered to read user names :)
