I followed the Comet community for a long time, but for my projects I've always used a small invisible Flash applet (to create a socket connection). Server-side, a tiny Python dispatcher server that just forwards messages to clients.

The pendulum has finally swung away from XHTML; developers are starting to understand that HTML is not inferior to XHTML. The HTML5 unification process -- such that XHTML and HTML are actually just syntactically different -- should help k

Piracy exists, sure. But I would suggest that iPhone developers not worry about it. Anti-piracy measures for iPhone applications would require time and energy invested that would arguably be better spent improving the software. Users who pi

Don't worry about it. The iPhone app store has enough DRM to move piracy below your radar. Casual users won't pirate your app; the few who might go to that effort aren't worth your time. If your app was available via direct download, an ant

Stay up late, and then go to bed at 5AM. Then you'd sleep for 7 hours or so and wake up at noon. Then you can't really work until noon because you slept through the morning.
