I immediately thought of this blog post by Nate Lawson: http://rdist.root.org/2008/07/03/dead-listing-while-on-vacat... Wherein he describes the process by which he prints out dis-assembly of a program and goes through it by hand while at

I can appreciate the author's plea against data being used as prescriptive recommendations for interface design, but I feel like her analogy to Le Corbusier is strained. I'll admit to having gone through a "Bauhaus" phase many years ago (a

This wording would also seem to apply to Windows Phone 7 (which also only allows applications to be installed from the default marketplace).

I am more aggravated by the fact that when Reader installs an update, it re-adds an icon to my desktop. For the life of me, I can't think of a single reason why I would ever want to launch Reader by itself (and not by launching a PDF file).

A couple weeks back I tried to buy a single copy of PGP from Symantec's site (as other retail versions no longer exist), and it was an unmitigated disaster (you have to call their sales people, who try to get you to buy a site license). A b

I don't assume that I'm smarter than anybody. I also don't assume that people on here are just trying to be funny (recent influx of Reddit'isms aside), hence me trying to point out instances where Microsoft wouldn't be holding a Non-Compete

Irony isn't the same thing as snark. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you might actually not understand the difference between the situation with Nokia and the situation with Salesforce. If you were just trying to be funny, th

For starters, they can chose to enforce a non-compete agreement or not, they're not required to go after every ex-employee (it's not like upholding a trademark). Secondly, by all accounts Elop took the position with the full blessing of Mic

Fantastic, I hadn't seen all of this interview before, and Bruce Lee has always been one of my heros.

I hope in a few years to be able to launch startupboat. Snark aside, I used to work with a guy who lived on a boat in SF (for him it was cheaper than renting), and once a week or so, a bunch of us would actually work from the boat.

Oops, sorry, what I thought was a transcript was just links to that section of the video (updated the title to remove "with transcript")

I would hope that this message was already crystal clear. Security through obscurity isn't a replacement for other strategies. That doesn't mean that it's useless; just that if people are relying solely on it, then you can pretty much bet t

I don't mean to shatter your dream of how security firms are run, but on the whole, I'd bet we're no better than the industry at large. This might be a "cobbler's kids shoes" issue, or just a general failure of people and process. One of th

You won't likely find such a party in cases like this. What is more likely is that each side will hire a forensics firm to image the drive, and as long as both their checksums match, than there isn't much disagreement.

by m0nastic 16y ago
Sony won't be involved directly with any part of the forensics. Their attorneys will contract with a forensics firm who will make an image of the drives (using a write-blocked device like the ones made by Wiebetech or an Encase Fastbloc). A

I think she originally adopted it when she was dancing (which is pretty common), and is pretty security conscious (paranoid) in general, so she kept using it.

I had a cousin who worked construction (and consequently didn't really have fingerprints). He also got arrested a lot (like most of my family) and they took to taking palm prints when they booked him. They would grow back if he went awhile

When my girlfriend made a Facebook account about a year ago, I was curious to see how this would unfold. Her account name isn't her real name as she uses an alias in both her digital and real life (I don't think I even learned her real name

My initial reaction to this article was that I disagreed vehemently with most of his points. Upon further reflection, nothing he's talking about is applicable to anywhere I've worked, or anywhere in the industry I work in; so my disagreemen

I don't have any data to back up my theory (so by all means take it as an uninformed opinion), but I think that was probably more true in the past. I'm pretty sure that nowadays, counter to what might seem logical, there is a direct correla

I actually do use Aperture to import RAW's (I bounce between that and Lightroom, but I find that Lightroom seems intentionally limited to entice you to use Photoshop). I don't really post-process my images; they're controlled studio setups

This makes me very happy. I am in the overwhelming minority of professional photographers who don't use Photoshop, but I have happily been using Pixelmator since it launched.

I guess it depends on how we define Cyberpunk, but I would tend to think "No, not yet." I think the main themes in Cyberpunk center on a dystopian society where the techno-literate are able to carve out a life among oppressive, capitalist r

Developers for Windows Phone 7 target either XNA for games (which in theory is why they are able to integrate with XBox Live) or Silverlight for everything else. I assume that if Microsoft intends for Windows Phone 7 to be a long-term platf
