I've been really happy with Claros Mail: http://www.claros.org/web/showProduct.do?id=1 Way nicer than SquirrelMail.

Good info, however CacheFly plans seem to top out at 1,200 GB/month (unless you want to pay overages), this seems really low. If you're running a site where you really need a super fast CDN, it seems like you could burn through 1,200 GB ve

I'm a Prime customer, and I love it. I buy way more on Amazon than I used to, and I find it very convenient. It pays for itself on Christmas shopping alone. This could be a smart move. I've often thought about a Kindle, but never really

I have never signed a contract/non-compete/IP agreement without making a number of edits to it first. So far I've always been able to get it changed to something that works for me.

No you don't. It upgrades in place by pulling down files and updating itself. And you don't need to let it write to your whole webroot, just to the wordpress install directory.

For the last couple of years, you can just click an "Upgrade" link in your admin and it just upgrades itself painlessly. It also lets you know in the admin Dashboard when there's a new version out to upgrade to. Honestly it seems like the

My bad. I was confused. Actually I have my companies accountants handle all the taxes, so I don't have to keep much awareness of how income taxes work. I probably should, but I don't need to, since I pay them to do it:)

That makes sense, sorry, I wasn't keeping in mind the progressive bracket system:(

I'm right there on that line. Honestly I pay a TON of taxes already. Very high rate, lots of taxable income. Cutting back to be under 250k would probably make more sense than making 255k and paying a lot more in taxes. I don't mind taxes

Doesn't sound much worse than most of the "food" people eat and drink. Much less what you breathe in a city like NYC or LA.

The market is people like myself I guess. I'd like something I can leave in the living room or bedroom and be able to surf the web or check e-mail without being limited to my iphone screen. It would also be wonderful for plane trips. My 17"

Haha yeah everyone thinks I build houses because I'm an "architect" and a "contractor".

:) I think the biggest problem in the industry is that many of the "young people" (I'm still young, dammit!) don't really want to learn or be mentored. Seems like there's a slew of folks in the junior to mid-level developer arena who got

I absolutely agree that if you like coding, don't ever stop. It will also make you a better architect. In my experience, large companies who use Rational will have their architects buried in Rose building UML and writing 150+ page docs all

As a software architect for the last ~10 years I have to disagree. His point seems to be that if you get a job as a software architect you'll end doing nothing but meetings and creating UML diagrams. I'm sure there are places like that, I

I agree. The technology to facilitate distributed teams working well together is in place, and it lets you pick to work with anyone in the world, while ducking a lot of office expense, etc... As a founder of a small decentralized tech comp

Those shootouts are usually poorly planned suicide/attention attempts. With a couple of trained guys with good weapons, armor and tactics it would be pretty easy to rack up a serious death toll in a crowded mall. A few dynamite and ball be

Here in the US, the land of the TSA, I've taken trains both domestically and internationally (Canada) and never been x-rayed, metal detected, told to remove my shoes, or seen anyone with a gun other than the occasional cop. Even the border

You mean a train station? Yes I would. Blowing up a plane/train/stadium/airport security waiting line/etc... is easy. The "real" risk I guess is people using jets full of fuel as flying missiles. However, post-9-11, no passengers will pe

They aren't. Not in any useful way. You are always responsible for yourself, and flying is risky. Not as risky as driving a car, or showering, but there is a risk at putting yourself in a tin can 30k feet up etc... But yes, the TSA is a

As an aside: I was in Iceland shortly after the bank crisis, and it was REALLY weird to walk by large banks downtown on a Monday afternoon and see them all closed.

You could argue that those last two examples were suffering due to a country "actually going to war". Once that happened, there was more war to be had to return to balance. I believe also that a large number of the slaves who ended up in A

Yes! JIRA + Mylyn (for Eclipse) makes this automatic and let's you see the commits made for the ticket in Jira, and link from the commit e-mails to the Jira ticket(s). Huge fan.
