> why not just target browsers Well, ObjectiveC isn't the reason Apple's app store is successful. From an entrepreneurs point of view, it's more about creating a sales channel, and marketing.

In a word, licencing. WebOS isn't open source, and is never likely to be.

>Since, one rack today can be stuffed with 90 servers each up to 20x more powerful than what was around in 2005 90 servers in a rack? Do you mean VPS? if not please could you elaborate?

In Australia it is compulsory to vote. Having lived here through four general elections, I actually believe it has a negative effect on democracy. That is to say, compulsory voting forces the most disinterested and politically ignorant memb

On Ubuntu, rather than weeding through the rc folders, just look in /etc/init.d/ or /etc/init (for upstart). To make a program not start on startup, either apt-get remove it, or chmod -x the init script. I've used both Arch and Ubuntu exten

I'd be inclined to go $19 or even $29 - remember the target market isn't us, and doesn't typically use open source. Professional CAD software costs thousands per seat, as does an Adobe live license.

Are any of those paid apps?

Nice. How did you arrive at that price point?

I think pie charts are a nice way to convey the ratio of 2 or 3 elements, particularly when the actual numbers are unimportant. But I agree they are sometimes used when a bar graph would be much more appropriate.

Agreed. Also anecdotally Lego makes a profit.

I can't speak for them but to be fair it does warn in the IDE when you run using Django, also there is a bug ticket here: http://devnet.jetbrains.net/thread/305801 .

That isn't a PyCharm bug, it's a regression [1] in Django 1.3 and is problematic for all IDE's. The bug was fixed for Django 1.3.1 which was released on Friday. https://code.djangoproject.com/changeset/15911

Actually no, the touchpad processor was below par. WebOS / Enyo is a great tablet OS. The real problem was HP (the new HP) just wasn't commited to WebOS.

Could that be because they don't have to win a media driven popularity contest to 'win' office?

For a consultant who offers professionalism, experience and a truly in-demand or rare set of skills, 2k / day isn't anything out of the ordinary.

I can give you a baseline to think about. First think about what the salary for that job would be. Let's make up a number for arguments sake it's 10,000 euros a month (in total). (NB: I know nothing about Salaries in your part of the world)

That's exactly how I feel; WebOS is everything I want in a tablet platform. Seriously HP, how do you expect us to trust you next time you woo us to develop for your platform? Maybe there won't be a next time.

I think your point is worth making. The technology is good, but sometimes it's not about the technology.

Nice. I've started using freshbooks recently but haven't looked at the estimate side yet. Side question, what (in percentage terms) do you call a 'nasty fee'?

by ra 15y ago
I think the big deal is the pricing. You simply can't bring a competing platform against the ipad and not compete on price if you don't have anything else to offer.

Yes, I've often heard people say this is the way to go, but please blog about your own django server setup process using chef / puppet so we can see the details.

Yeah brute force lockout is a destructive attack. A better lock-out approach is to disable logins for a period of time (say 1 minute)... i.e. as someone said above, you don't want to destroy the old password in case the reset was requested
