The 3G is almost compelling. However, lots of us already carry around a laptop with an expensive 3G account. I can only use one device at a time, and it's silly to me that I can't either tether to this with it's embedded 3G chip, or else u

Definitely. Better to go to a coffee shop to work for 2 hours before heading into the office rather than take any chances.

I migrated from working pretty exclusively with Groovy/Grails to Scala/Lift over the course of a year or so, and have no regrets at all. One of the interesting things I found is that it's remarkably easy to port plain Groovy code to Scala w

ESME is an Apache incubator project that's based on Lift, and I believe was originally started by the Lift founder. Recent licensing drama aside it seems to have a pretty dedicated team of developers and good momentum. http://incubator.ap

SBT, the Simple Build Tool, is a pretty good step in the right direction for building Scala projects, and I imagine it would work pretty well for plain Java code too. It's been mentioned on the mailing list that Lift, for instance, will eve

It's pretty clear that both Annapolis and the bay bridge went to BW, but Chesapeake got the Bay Bridge-Tunnel which almost makes up for it. For all the trouble it would cause, I know quite a few people who wouldn't mind parting with old Bal

It may be different, but it seems like the last people you want to confront with differentiation are your existing users. I wonder if the best way to release such a radical redesign would be to only default new users to the new interface

I wouldn't mind reading about how you "got to work" after the launch and managed to build that traffic in about a month. Care to go into more detail, either here or on your blog?

I wouldn't even say that it confirms a problem with the design, just that it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have the thing labeled in the first place. If his sole reason for disliking this particular interface was that he couldn't remem

If I remember correctly from a visit out there a couple of months ago, they top out at around 12 people on a team (as the other reply mentioned, they're internally referred to as "2-pizza" teams).

Both Chargify and Spreedly require a payment gateway of some sort, no idea about the others. I believe Chargify only supports Authorize.net currently, and it looks like Spreedly supports a few more. Authorize.net is only the payment gateway

In my experience Sprint is consistently 85-95ms, which is just fast enough for smooth SSH - except when some link starts adding a few more tens of ms somewhere, in which case it gets pretty frustrating. I find that I can pretty happily SS

When I moved out to the farmland with no cable or DSL service I tried satellite. I found it next to useless due to the latency, incredibly slow uplink and spotty connectivity (it may just be HughesNet, but that thing was down for something

This is true, but it was not always the case. That copyrights last so long now is the result of change due to political pressure. Even as recently as 1998 copyright was only authors life plus 50 years, and less before that.

It's especially interesting given that the U.S. model for IP is pragmatic rather than ideologic, i.e. temporary government-granted monopolies are a necessary evil we accept in order to further technological and creative progress for the ben

Apart from the tool tracking, there's doesn't appear to be anything it can do that a regular laptop with 3G connection can't do better (and cheaper). And since their liability concerns mean that it's inaccessible while driving, the guy in

If so, it sounds like they are basically just hiring with a larger-than-typical signing bonus. I wonder if the teams being acquired in that fashion view it that way?

I am a single founder, though my wife helps on occasion. I do try to get as much advice and input from friends and colleagues as I can, so in all honesty I'd have to say it's a team effort.

Same here. Worst part is that I started with an account signed up, a full shopping cart, and my address already entered the moment it started. Still never got the payment to go through.

No, they said that only Credit Card and Paypal Express orders are eligible.

Not necessarily. Based on the running total ($1400 or so) it looks like only 14 people have managed to place an order so far.

I wouldn't call that working badly - it seems to be about the only reasonable way to handle the situation. I just started working a logout at the end of the day into my schedule and never really thought about it since. I'm curious what you

Not I am in favor of emulating the security model for other reasons, but when it comes to air travel security, is there anyone more effective than El Al? According to the timeline on Wikipedia, there hasn't been even a semi-successful te

Why should the tax I pay on a new computer vary based on how it is delivered to my home? The tax you are legally required to pay does not vary. You simply choose not to pay whats required at the end of the year.

In my rural area Verizon stopped adding new DSLAM capacity shortly after rolling out service, and refuses to add more despite a deep waiting list of new customers. Instead, they are focusing on adding FiOS to areas which are already well-s

It was too long ago to remember what the specific name was that triggered the reaction, but I believe one cluster was named after characters from the X-Men comics, and another used Tolkien characters. There were others as well that I can't

I've seen this happen once, and I can almost understand why it did. In this case there was a rather severe production problem that had potential long term revenue effects for the company. In the course of the after-action report some scr
