I'm using Timesnapper and it's great. Not only it keeps screenshots for everything, but you can also filter by application while searching for an old website you saw or data that you forgot to save. It needs a lot of storage though. In 50GB

So in your vision a software developer is someone who creates "very correct" applications, while a product developer is someone who hacks an application that somehow works, with no clear model, no standards and patterns. I would call your p

It is way cheaper to ban everything in sight than have the copyright holders' lawyers banging at your door for infringement. All the rest is just bad support, but ustream are covered by their terms: "[...] we also reserve the right to termi

I keep hearing about this "passport kept hostage" problem. What keeps you from going to your embassy and reporting the passport missing or stolen? As the passport is not your property but is actually the property of the issuing country, a c

It means that it can learn by its own - so you don't have to program every behavior and data that it has access to. Of course, it's way easier said than done. BTW, horse-robots do exist[1]. 4 legs are very useful on a rough terrain. [1] ht

A long, long time ago, in a country far, far away there was a game company that was on the brink of bankruptcy, and with the last efforts they created a game they called Final Fantasy . The series has now 14 games.

Some are in for the fame, others for the money. I find North Americans incredibly opportunistic in registering patents. A friend that does network support outsourcing was complaining that their (American) boss was setting targets on number

All camera sensors are actually black and white. To obtain color information, the sensors have a color filter. This filter is optional/interchangeable in this camera. To obtain a color photo, you take three shots with three different filter

You can solve 2) easily by adding a simple "Fencing (sold out) " label in the list. But it looks like they cannot really tell if an event is sold out.

As the wireless networks are easier to use, technology that was built for data transfer is now used for power. I would call that cable USC (Universal Serial Charger). It looks like a standardization of a power adapter, but I don't think we

So they can save those $100,000 per year after 100 years. Good luck with that.

They say they save $100,000 per year, but what was the cost to implement this, and how much does the battery maintenance cost?

Why would you trust hardware you are not really sure you control (do you know all the backdoors and bugs in that thing?) and knowingly give it access to your networks? It's already a hacking power tool, it only needs the hacker.

The valuation is given by IRS, so if they value it so high to get taxes (they jumped from 15M to 60+M just like that), they should also be able to buy it at the valued rate.

We don't really know how long it takes for Apple to apply all the bans that we hear about (and the others we don't hear about), but it would be interesting to find out how this process works. This situation reminds me of the notice Apple se

I'm not really the target audience (I own less than 30 paper books, e-books are way more portable, I gave away 90% of the books I had the last time I moved), but I wanted to try your service. I have the same advice: show how the application
