You encrypt them, but then how does anyone decrypt them? Do you have to pre-brief "normal" people about how to use PGP? It would be nice if there was a service that you could actually trust that would store the information in an encrypted f

While I don't quite disagree with this article, I think a lot of people have raised that handwriting is a useful skill in a lot of places that require a low-tech solution to communication. While it is technically possible to get by without

You should be able to watch closures in Firebug within the scope of the function using breakpoints.

In many ways I find this article both interesting and scary. The author suggests that Quinn Emmanuel are shaking up the legal practice, but their method seems like a corporate version of the ambulance chasers methodology. A no win, no fee a

So I IM'd my buddy to say hi, and tell him that the company he works at got props by Daniel from Digg at the D.Construct conference. "Oh I don't do Geni any more, I'm working on another startup called Yammer" Isn't life funny. I guess some

4 is pretty good. :) I would have thought that brightness would have been the main factor in a monitor, surely all the hues are relative. You aren't trying to pick something colour realistic from life, you are just ranking relative to the r

I wasn't that impressed. The cheat sheet includes a bunch of stuff like events and XHR, etc. Maybe this guy is some kind of masochist but most people don't roll their own wrappers for these browser inconsistent features, they use a library.

I don't see the need for Google to try and compete in a space where there is already plenty of competition and Open Source innovation. Maybe they are tired of giving Mozilla Corp Ad Words money for Firefox searches.

I'm sure the wives/girlfriends in the article would be doubly suspicious of you because you obviously having something to hide! I'd like to think that trust might be a better foundation for a relationship that what you read on someone's tex

I think this is actually a really interesting study, but I think the title is misleading. The essence of the research the article is, badly, paraphrasing is that people over 30 find the number of features on cell phones intimidating. This i

I think this could be really useful advice for people needing to do a bit of self promotion for their project/startup. An efficiently run embargo can create a lot more interest in a project by giving the impression of an upswell of interest

The problem with censorship is where it goes. While some comments do indeed add little value, who should be the judge of value? If it isn't you then who is to say that the person judging isn't removing value from you to reinforce their poin

I take the guy's point that they are laying it on a bit thick, but I also think he does lambast them a bit too much. Being excited about your company and trying to get other people excited about it too is a good thing. Describing employees

I actually think that in some ways having a sucky post on the homepage can be a good thing. For a newer developer reading the comments of their peers and heroes smack down a turd like the "real programmers" post is a good thing. If a terrib

It probably breaches the terms of service which wouldn't make it illegal but it would be a civil offence. They could probably sue you for damages or loss of income (due to loss of legitimate traffic) or some such.

This is an interesting problem. However self interest helps to reveal the problem. Google has successfully banned rings of cheap labour used to generate ad-sense income. We had a conversation at work about how it would be much harder to sto

I get that but I'm not sure I see the author's point though. Replicating Archive.org isn't hard, it's pretty standard web spider stuff, it's just massively resource intensive. You can try and distribute that but I suspect it would just end

I think this is part of the job of Archive.org I would also say that particularly on blogs it shouldn't be too hard to capture revisions of major blogs. Most blogs 'ping' out Technorati, etc in order to get updated into the search index. It

The synopsis of the article is that it's technically tricky to enable cell phones but not impossible. The problem is that cell phones hit hundreds of towers from a mile up. Instead enabled planes would have a local cell and use radio noise

Yahoo uses the Graded Browser Support policy ( http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/gbs/ ) for a reason. It's because we check what % of our users use each browser and support the appropriate ones. You can bet that if Yahoo is still choo
