   Depends on the person I'm talking to: "Software Engineer" - Business folks "Developer" - Friends, programmers, most other situations "I build websites" - anyone in a bar (usually end up yelling this to be heard)

   Didn't they fool pretty much everyone? Even the author only had a suspicion and resorted to some (impressive) tests to verify.

   My laptop was stolen 5 years ago and I still think about it and get angry occasionally. Just letting people take things that are important to you and immediately moving on may work for you but for me, my laptop was the most important thing

   I love APIs that offer JSON instead of XML. Especially when I'm programming in PHP, parsing XML is so tedious. On the other hand, using json_decode is a pleasure.

   What is the issue with regex?

   I would argue this has more to do with the developers familiarity of the language which would dictate speed of the initial build and speed of iterations.

   Same, I'm not a good enough designer to be changing the default UI significantly so it's largely standard in my apps. I'd love a themeforest for iOS apps.

    Good point as far as DNS access goes but new protocols won't get the sites advertising money or search engine views.

    I was drawn to security for a while mostly because javascript like that must be so much fun to write and encrypt. Although it's almost as much fun to decrypt. Until I get some more free time I guess I'll settle for reading about it. Also,

    Software Engineering for an advertising agency gets pretty stressful. It pays well and it's fun usually but crazy demands from clients that account and project managers don't push back on, constantly getting the creative for sites late an

    I don't follow MS closely but I thought bill gates was no longer involved. Is he guiding MS with enough influence that (betting against MS == betting against gates)?

    I love this reaction. Signing up for an account with them now after seeing how seriously they monitor security.

    right, I have that problem, remembering whether or not the site accepts the + as well as an issue with sites with long or weird to spell domain names.

    Article mentions it's ready to browse the web by default, how is it connecting to the internet though? No mention of ethernet or wifi.

    I hate being forced to login with my email address. My username is the same or similar for most sites I use but I use a site specific email (with gmails + feature) for almost every sign up.

    I'm in the same boat with my site. For now I've given up on A/B testing until I can at least double my traffic. This SEO service seems fairly cheap and came highly recommended by @aymeric: http://taskarmy.com/services/342-get-your-webpag

    I'd love to see more custom UI code available. There seems to be a shortage of quality resources.

    Thanks for the info, really nice site btw. I'll contact Marius now, $200 as a 1 time fee and $30/month is a massive savings over what I thought I had to pay.

    Thanks for the clarification. I phrased it that way because OP really is comparing Rails to PHP (ie: he won't pick Ruby w/out Rails over PHP). CakePHP is an MVC framework similar to Rails but they're pretty different now (details wise, str

    I recommend PHP for what it's worth. Ruby is great but PHP is fast, easy to deploy and common enough that you never need to look far for an answer to your problem or a module to help you out. Rails has gems which are amazing but there are

    I'd also recommend themeforest.com or something similar but in case you want to handle it yourself this article helped me out a lot: http://flyosity.com/tutorial/crafting-subtle-realistic-user-...

    IMO it depends on the site and whether or not the number of users correlate directly with income. For instance, i've worked on a few microsites for brands that report number of users on the site as a form of social proof. On the other hand

    Thanks for your input. I believe my site is built in a fairly SEO friendly manner, with keywords taken into account in copy, titles for pages, etc. I've been reading about SEO for a while and i've done pretty well with a few sites but I'm

    you can buy laptop charges that fit almost any laptop for $60 at walmart (i have one). If the thief realizes that the police records may be worth money i'm sure it would be no trouble at all to pick up a charger. Hopefully the laptop has a

    I won't be switching from coda until this is more polished but looks like it could be a contender. Another screenshot: http://ydeck.com/vico.png
