It's mind-boggling as to how much stuff Apple is getting away with simply because they hold the market lead. Delays in deployment, denying projects that had significant investment and a highly opaque culture that is leading to tons of unres

I was on board until I read this: "For starters, with mod_php, each request that Apache handles loads PHP - and all of it’s libraries." No, it doesn't. In fact, that's a distinct advantage of mod_php. Everything is loaded and in memory wh

Even better: HTTP pipelining - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_pipelining Of course, that's controlled client-side and often doesn't request all that many resources at once. This is a server-side pipelining that lets them determine thei

Any blackhats have any clues as to what this is about? I'm too impatient to wait 7.5 hours :P

Great. Another iSuppli teardown that's going to cause everyone on the Internet to cry foul at how Amazon is charging 48% mark up on it's devices. Yes, because these things build themselves, weren't designed by anyone, get shipped through in

That's the thing, it's useful if you're a Digg user and it's annoying as fuck if you're not. They should have realized that from the beginning. Sounds like someone at Digg tried to pick virality over usability. You've gotta look at the big

Is it possible to a transcript from the court proceedings? I'm not familiar with NZ law at all. I'm mainly curious to see how Apple argued that plugging in an external monitor into an external monitor port and running an Apple-built program

Now I've got stats to back up my failures. I don't know if that's a good thing or not...

I don't have a problem with profanity, but I think it's over the top here. It's meant to be a severe response to a severe offense. I don't think this warrants that. If we use it too much, it loses its punch. I want my "fuck"s to still mean

As does HootSuite: http://hootsuite.com/ Personally, I don't get why Gruber is so upset. There is an option to always hide the DiggBar. Hover over the X on the right and click the down arrow. Then there's a link that sets a cookie so you

Classic failed argument. Service isn't implementing features that are visible to you, so you argue that they aren't doing anything. Sorry, designing highly scalable systems isn't always about whizbang features. But that's the thing: The whi

PostRank isn't personalized, which is the big difference with Feedscrub. FS gives you unique results depending on what you like, not just based on how much people are talking about something.

There's nothing wrong with PHP 5. As long as he's learning about all the latest stuff, it's a perfect language. It features functional aspects to get him started and then he can graduate to OOP concepts. Since he's learning from scratch, st

OK, I made answer checking a little less exactly after seeing what people were actually putting in for answers. I've also added the direct message response when you submit. I'm open to other ideas if anyone else has any.

Quick and dirty PHP. In fact, the most complex part of it was piping emails for the direct messages into PHP. I hadn't ever done anything like that, but it's useful to know.

I agree about lowering the question frequency. It's high right now so I can find bugs faster. Stability is key to me. I don't agree about making it on US time, though. Twitter is a very international service, so giving an advantage to one s
