JotForm today moved its domains away from GoDaddy to registrars NameCheap and Hover. I'm glad JotForm is back up, but I'm curious how they transferred the domains so quickly. I would have expected GoDaddy to lock the domains and prevent

Of all the Mac viruses, worms, malware, etc. that have been distributed, how many of them came in the form of a dmg that the user opened and installed? I would think most of the things that "may damage your computer" would come in the form

I can't imagine Apple ever removing the open Unix access in its OS X server due to so many customers relying on it (though I can't really imagine them removing it in the normal OS X either, but who knows). Maybe power users will just have

They can't (feels weird to say "can't" and "mandate" for an open source project) Open source isn't relevant here because that mandate is for any vendor wanting to distribute Google's proprietary apps (Market, Maps, Gmail, Google account s

I had to scroll back up while reading this to see how old it was. The bug linked to is now closed, and the interview is from last year. Android 4 does use the GPU for more GUI operations and Google has mandated that 3rd parties must not m

I was doing some ANSI art stuff a few months ago and made a BDF font of the original DOS 437 codepage font, so I could view BBSes and ANSI art properly in xterm. I converted it to TrueType so it would also work in Terminal.app: https://gi

I make www resolve but just forward to the URL without it. I don't like the way www looks and having to say it is annoying. Whichever you pick, you should use that one and redirect the other to it, just so there is one consistent set of UR

Mobile clients like BeeJive and Meebo do that, simply because they can't keep a connection open on the client 24/7. I don't know of any native desktop clients that do it because it's usually not needed, but programs like bitlbee can run on
