I've seen a lot of "Cloud" database services lately, and while I love the general idea, from what I've seen in real life, for any serious db use, the impact of network latency is a HUGE problem. So unless this service happens to be residin

Looks awesome, but after purchasing it, all it does is crash:( It says Crunching Calendar, and then dies, ever time. I've tried rebooting the phone, resyncing the app, etc...

My family is spread all over the country and they all post on FB pretty often with photos/videos/updates that make it easy to keep up with what they've all been up to. If it wasn't for that, I'd be gone in a heartbeat. I've tried to pull

Yes. Go with SoftLayer. We have tons of servers, and get a great discount, especially on RAM. They have been great.

I appreciate your response, but basically you're saying there's nothing out there that handles the Redis side of failover, and I DO need to write custom scripts that handle all that, right? I can do that, but it seems odd to me that no one

It's really not that crazy. I know lots of photographers who went to Africa for a week and took 10k+ photos. I can take 500+ in about 30 minutes with an animated model if I'm doing more of "do your thing and I'll try to catch some good sh

There are tech savvy accountants, and/or small business/startup savvy accountants. We tried handling it ourselves but that was a terrible plan: we didn't know about every little business tax we should have been paying, the whole double ent

I use, and love, Joker, but they don't offer any sort of anonymous whois data which is a gap.

Yeah, if I could get the Air with 8 GB of RAM it would be REALLY tempting... (Oracle + Eclipse + JBoss etc... eats a lot of RAM).

17" MBP, SSD, 30" external monitor. Perfect machine for my needs, portable for meetings, travel, and when I just want to work out on the deck, but plenty powerful with good screen real estate.

Because as you say, it's actually the purchaser who needs to pay the sales tax, legally. Not Amazon.

There's a value there for sure, but for folks like me (30's, savings, used to a large salary, own a home, married, etc...) relocating and everything else required may not be worth the trade off.

You should never sign an employment agreement that includes that. Never. I've successfully gotten employment contract/non-competes/IP contracts, etc... changed at every employer I've worked at who tried to pull that, from small shops to

No, but it probably keeps you from being a great developer. I've worked with a large number of people at a large number of companies, and the difference between the solid "B" developers and the amazing "A" developers is that the amazing dev

Most people watch a few minutes of low-res YouTube videos a day maybe, versus 2 hours per movie of HD + 5.1 Surround at night on netflix. Netflix HD is ~2 GB/hour. So I can easily see Netflix driving more BW than youtube.

I use FaceTime/iChat video chat daily to consult with other members of our small company as we're spread out across the country. It's a great tool imho and keeps us feeling more close knit than just text or voice communication.

Yes but even with modern cars you still need all the mechanical things, and things get way beyond a multimeter and a soldering iron on modern cars pretty quickly. There are many black-box computers, many complex sensors, thousands of wires

Having done extensive work on both old ('64 Ford Falcon, '68 Ford LTD) and new ('99 Eclipse, '00 S4) old cars are WAY easier to work on. The first issue is simplicity and access. Old cars have big engine bays with everything spread out, ea

I do disagree with you. WAFs aren't perfect, no security product is. They do allow you to implement protection against many types of common attacks against your website. This is useful if your site runs applications that you don't have th

Not in our case at least. I'd happily spend tens of thousands of dollars to get a new sale. And a phone call is a really great opportunity for us to explain our advantages and establish a personal connection with someone.

Yes. People often make the mistake of thinking that if you aren't storing credit cards then you don't have to deal with PCI compliance. While it does remove a few requirements, if you accept/transmit the credit card through any of your sy
