There is zero risk for a nonprofit to publish their EIN widely. It's already on Guidestar and Charity Navigator and usually discoverable with a simple Google search. There is also a ton of value. It makes people who donate more confide

The article's statement "Putting them within a transaction is also no good, as you can't read and make decisions on the result (is the result of the select null?)" is not correct. You can implement task assignment in a SERIALIZABLE-capable

In T-Mobile US's case, pre-paid services like the pay-as-you-go or Monthly4G plans do not have access to the full set of towers that the contracted plans do. Per a sales rep I talked to yesterday, the non-contracted plans exclude domestic "

Guava is a work of art created by the team that maintains it; what's the big deal if you can't add your own code to it? Merely a lost opportunity to advance your own vanity? Respect their boundaries and let your experience inform your feedb

They've been down for about 10 hours now, and are doing a very bad job at updating their status blog with any information. Apparently they've lost a router.

With the exception of Facebook (which I visited this morning), the results were accurate (Amazon, reddit, linkedin, wikipedia, youtube). Spoooky!

Agree; this strikes me as a kind of anti-trust theater, with two companies that didn't have the foresight to build their own independent branding strategy (nextag) or actually innovate in local search (yelp) complaining about how they are s

yes, you can actually design a site for your project and host it on google code. directing your users to the gc-provided default is your choice. the contents of your repositories are hosted available at projectname.googlecode.com, and you

my take on it is that gc is better at running long-lived projects or projects with non-developer users. github is great, but its emphasis is strictly on coding and dvcs. i've run svn gc projects, and projects on github, and found the gc st

very little, clearly. both can host project homepages in a variety of ways. GC gives you a navigable and clean and usable project landing page by default, while github makes you work a bit harder. neither service prevents you from doing w

I should have qualified my statement to performance problems rather than HR violations. Agree, if you are doing your work poorly, it is either because you are never going to be good at it or because the company hasn't set you up to succeed

check your .html files in to your repo and serve them from projectname.googlecode.com. You can even set your project homepage to redirect there automatically if you are clever.

You seem to be under the impression that the only reason people consume open source projects is because they want the source code. For many use cases, they are simply consumers of applications, not developers. Google Code tries to satisfy
