This is Verizon's longstanding tradition of crippling perfectly good devices for the sake of restricting users to using VZW's media services. I had a Verizon phone that was perfectly capable of Bluetooth and USB transfers which Verizon's OS

Exactly. nytimes.com gives the visual impression of being dense with fresh content and that's what keeps news junkies coming back for more. His redesign not only lacks compelling visuals (huffingtonpost.com wins that category, sorry but tab

My complaint about arrays in PHP is warnings for reading a array member that may not exist, such as when reading a form input that might not be there. $foo = $_POST["foo"]; Undefined array key! Oh, no! Tragedy! A crime has been com

Two other reasons I avoid Java the dependencies ecosystem for a typical Java app is bloated and always changing, and it didn't really live up to the promise of write-once-run-anywhere. And by the way, the over-abstraction habit is really an

For example try this at an Apple store: stand at a Macbook and open several apps at once, close them, then reopen them, then do the same exercise on an Air.

But the max screen is still only 13" max and not a significant price drop on existing models so I'm glad I didn't wait for this release before buying.

I've also been coding and working on an Air for months and had no issues other than being spoiled by its lightness and speed. I run virtual machines on it with no problem. It does everything a Macbook Pro does only faster, quieter, and with

A maxed-out Air is plenty fast enough for PS work but you may want to consider adding a 2nd display for design work.

From the CTO perspective choosing a niche language is considered a much bigger risk because when your lead developer gets bored and quits you then have to scramble to find another lead dev who can quickly grab the reigns and continue. I've

I found that tackling a project is easier if you just do one fast and simple setup task without obligating yourself to do anything more than that. The fast simple setup task could be something that takes less than one minute of your time, s

Your comment that this is MD5 x 1000 is very informative and got me searching for the FreeBSD MD5 crypt function, and I found this gem from /usr/src/lib/libcrypt/crypt-md5.c: /* * and now, just to make sure things don't run too fast
