   I think this is bad practice. You should not check your input but your output. So clean up the var that goes into the database.

   Dealing with fragmentation? Null check! I'm seeing a lot of apps that assume too much. They assume I've got GPS. And even if I had GPS they assume it is turned on. Same for Wifi or any data connection. Therefore a lot of crashes o

   Why not transform the image on the client side? It will save load on the server. But it's a nice idea!

   Very impressive! I think this has the best quality I've seen. Also the shot on the boat makes me wonder if this could be used as steady-shot-software.

   This is why I like Xamarin Studio. You can reuse like 50% of your code base for both Android and iOS [1] (if you strictly keep the view separated from business/logic). Yes the Android emulator can be very slow but testing on a real dev

   The article is mixing stereolythografy and laser sintering. When the patents of laser sintering will expire the laser scanner still has to be very accurate. And accurate laser scanners are expensive even without patent. It might be differen

    Agreed. I think it's a little naive to think that a free service doesn't have to make money. But! Without users Google won't have a business at all. So they should be careful with disruptive advertisement.

    It's all about "constructive criticism". We all know Linus is right most of the time. But I think his abusive tone isn't constructive and won't motivate people to do a better job. Edit: "Adopting the most effe

    "at least we can read most things on mobile devices" True but we don't need Javascript for it. I think that's what the article is about. We can make cool stuff without or with less Javascript.

    Aren't these all false suggestions? (Except for Tor like software maybe) For example: DuckDuckGo might hide your search but when you click on a link in the result list the request to that link is still monitored by your Internet provid

    If you want to transmit illegal data the best option is to take the route where the chance of intersection is minimal. And then Internet is not an option. That's also why I think surveillance programs won't catch the real bad guys

    Very good article. But in the end it's just a job. We all have to make money because we don't grow our own food. I thought about this a long time and I'm just going to use hacking to make money and spend it on a social projec

    It alienated me. I like Opera 12 very much. But the things I like are missing in 15. Tab-screenshots for example. And the overall look and feel is just Chrome. So I think people will skip Opera 15 and download Chrome instead. Or they will s
