   Thanks! Does this actually register profiles? I've had to do some FB development recently, and was really surprised (and annoyed) that I couldn't test my private application without having to register a new, public profile, where people cou

   I don't think so. Apple are most likely wanting to concentrate on their core competency (making the iCloud product) and not have to worry about (more) data centers/storage/etc to support the product. As others mentioned it sounds like a goo

   CTRL+T for new Chrome tab, CTRL+Tab to cycle tabs (or CTRL+1, ... 9) Windows D for desktop, Windows E for explorer, CTRL+R for Run (especially in Windows Vista/7).

   Another problem (which has made me completely give up television) is that the TV stations abruptly decide to stop broadcasting a show one week, move it to another time slot, and then just have no mention of it again.

   You may find http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/ interesting (a developer at Microsoft who blogs about Windows internals). His books is a copy of his blog with just the internals blog posts.

    I think using it is still appropriate when you know the user isn't intending to really leave the page they're on. For example, clicking on a help link (while filling out a screen) or anything else that would disrupt what the user's doing un

    http://ajaxorg.github.com/ace/build/editor.html is pretty sweet, real time text editor (many languages) with highlighting support. See more info at http://ace.ajax.org/

    This is really neat, definitely going to take a peek. My first application was written in VB6, was free, but downloaded hundreds of thousands of times and made it into PCmag magazine (6+ years ago now). VB6 got me started in programming and

    I thought SSL pages/resources aren't cached like they would be normally under regular HTTP, so there would still be extra latency (for repeat visits) if you ever visited a website that required SSL everywhere (like say Github). Or is my ass

    Strange a journalist handed over that information, they pretty much got him to reveal he had some evidence so they could seize it.

    Don't worry too much. You don't need to get it "right" the first time. Just create a table as needed for each of your domain entities (eg like Customer, Product, ...) and iterate as necessary until you feel comfortable.

    Thanks for the article. Have you considered writing a 'control' program that you can provide a list of mongo servers, and allow the control program to configure the replica sets etc? May help a little, it's something I would consider myself

    Dropbox can decide what its servers/resources are used for, and allowing 'Dropship' to be used to transfer copyrighted files sounds like a problem they don't want - and neither would I, as a company owner. Legitimate users are not impacted

    I have not developed a mobile application yet, but services like www.phonegap.com look pretty neat for at least rapid prototyping and getting an app in the hands of customers quickly.

    Note that you can only get up to 7 usable members in a RS (then you need to shard), see http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Replica+Sets+Limits I'm curious if you happen to use any monitoring to notice when load on your mongo servers gets

    There are many payment gateway's out there (for example an Australian one is http://www.eway.com.au - never used them/no affiliation) that let you process payments via API. I'd be inclined to pick something like that rather than use Paypa
