I could see this being a great tool for electricians, plumbers, and other in home service persons. There is already a high degree of trust there, and certainly anyone who understands what reverse engineering a dongle entails also understand

That's my understanding. We frequently build websites for clients on Wordpress, and certainly aren't intending to release them under GPL, although I don't think it would make a huge difference in practice. The fact that Wordpress delivers t

Thanks for making this, collapsing comments is one of reddit's best features.

Yes, as I read it. All of the solutions provided depend on it.

That's a good idea. Perhaps a link on the guidelines page would be easier & less abrupt.

Very cool, worked as advertised. Two things: 1) It sent me a text letting me know the message had been received, and another with the result. The confirmation was nice, but since the messages came 2 seconds apart you could skip the first on

I love the syntax for lambdas and existence checking.

I end up having an if-by-whiskey argument with myself about this, especially regarding the "n-word." If by saying the n-word casually, you mean removing the hatred and power behind a word which has divided our people for centuries by giving

FWIW, this blog was running WP 2.8, which is about 6 months old. Current is 2.9.1. Upgrading is trivial. If you're not keeping Wordpress updated expect this to happen to your blog too.

Probably making a solid amount of money. Having shamefully owned a few typo domains in the past, I can confirm this is true. The ad click-through rate on typo domains is absurdly high (~33% IME), probably because the ad is for the domain

Its not a dumb question, and I hope you haven't been discouraged from future participation. The advice you've been given here is excellent though. If I could add one thing, it would be this: In your first paragraph, you've already made 3 ex

The main reason for the 140 char limit is SMS. When it launched, Twitter was mostly a way to do a sort of SMS listserv. I wouldn't call the 140 char limit an anti-feature either. Its become a key differentiation point, and is in many ways w

I've asked a couple of friends with corporate jobs, and they said Gmail is usually open but FB is blocked. They also said it doesn't matter, because everyone has a smartphone. Not a great data point, but interesting none the less.

That's not how I read it. He will let you embed the stats from his site for free, but its going to have his branding/ads and you can only show the views he offers. If you want a different segment of data or to remove the branding, you'll ha

"no browser implements everything, the standards even contradict themselves in places" Thank you. I feel this is almost universally misunderstood. If all browser makers followed the standards exactly we'd have no innovation. And those who

I'm actually most impressed by their payments via 7-11. Finding a way to transfer cash to an online account is actually really difficult, should you find yourself in that position. If PayPal accounts could be loaded via 7-11, I think that w

I mean, yeah, it's technically the right thing to do. But it's just shy of impossible to implement, and it presents a goofy user experience to your users. oAuth is actually really easy to implement. I've done it several times now, never t

I disagree. Its a parasitic site with no original content that causes confusion with the original. That's spam. Even if there are no ads, there are secondary benefits to MacHeist. In addition to the free press, they'll get a nice link sourc

No, you'll probably see no changes in your day to day life as a result of this. There's no "interpreted version as opposed to the hiphop-able version", in terms of the code you write. As the article mentions, almost no one is really running

Re #2, I don't think its fair to count EC2, Github, or Heroku, unless you're also counting any shared hosting that lets you run PHP. I think what Steve was referring to was people paying for hosted versions of specific pieces of open source

Why do they bother you? Its literally a matter of <input type="text" name="email" /> vs. <input type="text" name="email"> Why do you prefer the latter? (Genuinely curious, not being rude)

Perhaps a simple fix at browser level would be to treat cached files with future etags like cookies, clearing or ignoring them with the same policy. Its a genius trick though.

They just speak to people in different ways. Personally, I got a lot out of "Catcher In The Rye" and "On The Road", but the themes of those books resonated heavily with me at the time. I enjoyed "The Great Gatsby" as a story, but it didn't

I'm surprised by this, given Google and Ubuntu's previous relationship with Goobuntu. Not that the two are mutually exclusive, but Google and Canonical do appear to have had some form of commercial relationship.

Jason, I'm quite sure I'm not confused. 1) "MORE QUALITY PAGES and more QUALITY links = bette SEO from what the top SEOs have told me. " For this purpose, indexed by Google counts as "quality." Please read the PageRank paper, and you'll q

I've always been impressed with Heyzap's willingness to describe itself in terms of other well-known services. e.g., "Meebo bar for games", "YouTube of flash games."

If Jason really wants advice, here's two things: 1) "Spreading our PageRank" is BS. More pages == more total PageRank. Wikipedia's summary isn't half bad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank 2) Remove the nofollow's from the attribution
