As I understand it, the iPhone is capable of sending MMS, but AT&T is afraid that a few million iPhone users suddenly having that ability will burn their infrastructure to the ground in a day[1]. So, they are presumably doing their bes

I probably use the plugin 'tComment' more than any other plugin. It toggles code comments, based on filetype. I often try to toggle comments by hitting 'gc' on machines that don't have that ability. Very simple, but has quickly become ind

A large number of people have iPhones, relative to other phones on which web browsing is usable. Also, the iPhone is the first phone worth using for browsing the web, for many people. It's nothing about which to be upset. It is simply a

This argument has been hashed, re-hashed, and re-re-hashed on here a million times -- well, variants of it, at least, such as "HN uses a table-based layout, which offends me". You can find some here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&

Aside from Slicehost[1], has anyone found a host to be happy to let you run a Tor relay? I'm thinking of emailing the prgmr.com gentleman (who I know is around here somewhere... hi!). [1] A couple articles about running Tor on your Sliceho

For those worried about running a relay and dealing with people abusing you as an exit node, here is a good article from Tor about minimizing abuse of your node: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tips-running-exit-node-mini... One tip that

In defense of 'release early and often', the 'often' part is more difficult (from what I understand) on the iPhone. Each update must go through the approval process. That takes time -- time during which you are getting no feedback about t

It is my opinion that the limit forces those who would be verbose to get to the point. It's nearly mandating conciseness. I tend to be very 'wordy', so I think it's a good thing for me (or, for those who would follow me). Far from horrib

For the record, you're preaching to the choir. I'm a Ruby/Rails developer, and I'm quite happy about it. I was only intending to comment that titling an article "Rails won" without qualification, or without clearly making a decisive argume

Wildcard certs are more expensive because they cover any and all subdomains. (The perception is that they "do" more, so the price is hiked. I have not the expertise to know whether the issuer actually has to do more, or it's just a bit of

I think the article reads much differently if you picture the author saying, "Rails won in this particular instance, for me/us." Perhaps that is not what the author intended, but that is how I read it. It's much less polarizing that way.

Yes, this seems to be fixed. Thanks! I can't yet report on how useful it is, because I haven't used it for more than 60 seconds yet, but it looks good. I'm looking forward to using it.
