In contrast don't do this in Panama. It's freaking expensive in comparison. Renting a room in a decent part of town can cost you around 700 dollars. And that's just a smallish room. A decent studio will cost you 1 ~ 1.2k. If you go down wit

Eureka! That's exactly what I thought when I heard of the Mac App Store. The App Store seems to me like a move to simplify things for Macbook Air users, which is actually a niche product for regular people. Developers prefer a 13 or 15 inch

Oh silly me, I kind of assumed you where using OSX because someone made the comment that there's no option for full disk encryption. My bad. If I had an option to encrypt my whole disk that easily in OSX I'd take in a heart beat, not necess

I cringed when I read that. A splash of water is ok, but scotch is only drank on the rocks if it's mixed. If you really want to have it cold put a glass in the fridge serve your ambient temp scotch in it and let it stand for a minute or t

It doesn't if I don't give it permission to, but if you're concerned about it encrypt /tmp also or symlink it to ~/tmp (provided you're the only user). Nevertheless, I do understand that you have different requirements, but in the case some

There is a difference between usability and simplicity. While there are generally not mutually exclusive, neither are the mutually inclusive in contrast. You can sell better usability and more simplicity, but you can't sell either by itself

I've generally seen full disk encryption on a OS volume as a moot point. Why is there a need to have full disk encryption on a bootable volume, when the only thing you should be protecting from prying eyes is your content? Full disk encrypt

This has so many security and design concerns it's not even funny. Everyone has already said so in this thread already so I won't add to that, but I do want to add an even better solution. Add a remember me checkbox that when checked sets a

My main concern with Adobe is that it seemed to me that they where more concerned (though rightfully so... they are a for profit company after all) with milking every last dollar out of Flash evangelizing it's used everywhere. They seem t

That's exactly the point, if a kid actor can be excepted, why can't a kid programmer (or bug hunter) be allowed to do so? I placed some conditions on this because it really comes down to if the kid wants to work, if the kid's parents are en

I think his point is to not focus on an engine. You don't work for a studio and are just starting out, you need to get the experience and knowledge first. Sure when you're working in Starcraft 3 or Quake43262 you'll be using an engine made

Just an FYI. Panama City is a city like all other cities in any developed country. Most of the provinces are equivalent to "towns". If you do move to somewhere in Panama that does not qualify for this description, you're basically living in

It wasn't so much a problem of a price. It't that you say the platform is free to try and the hosting is free for a year... but you pay 1k in setup up costs. Most companies willing to part with their money to get a good CMS will have a CTO
