I was on T-Mobile for a few months this year. There are large swaths of metro Boston and Cambridge where they have no coverage -- most of the Esplanade, Harvard Square, every MIT building I've been in, Route 2 from Alewife through most of

They also charge more if you have to key in the card manually (2.75% per scan vs 3.5% + 0.15 USD per manual entry).

Exactly :-) My point was that their business model is already very similar to what you described ("give me fixes for the version I purchased and then sell the next major version").

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you bought RubyMine and PyCharm in addition to IntelliJ? The paid edition of IntelliJ includes access to the Ruby and Python plugins.

JetBrains does something similar. They give you access to all updates, including any major versions, for a year. (They put out a new major version approximately every 8 months, so depending on when you buy, you might end up with two major v

It's one thing to not test a site in a particular browser and to just put up an unobtrusive warning saying that some things might not work perfectly. It's quite another to actively block access based on the user agent string.

The demo site ( http://www.msravs.com/audiosearch_demo/ ) blocks browsers other than IE and Firefox based on the user agent string. Use WebKit's developer tools to change your user agent and you'll be able to get in.

The second of those is exactly the approach I've taken in the couple client-side web apps that I've built. I initially generate and insert generic DOM fragments from templates, but only use the template to fill in values that I know will no

Something I haven't been able to understand: why does almost every Backbone project generate and update views by applying templates to generate new HTML strings, and then new DOM fragments? Wouldn't it be much more efficient to create a v

Here's a brief article about Tactus: http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/5/3064674/tactus-technology-p... Looks like the button locations are fixed for now, but they're hoping to make them adjustable in the future.

Your car analogy made me chuckle. However, I think there are other items that it describes better than the Windows registry. For example, I remember using Ubuntu a few years back and discovering that the only way to change some system font

It's funny, at several points while watching that video, I felt that I was looking at a 3D animation -- precisely because virtual cameras aren't constrained by the motion range of physical equipment, so animators sometimes end up keyframing
