Currently, I use the Amazon marketplace instead of Google because the Google marketplace doesn't support my device (Pocket Edge upgraded to 2.2). However, there's no reason (other than policy) that a device couldn't access both.

It doesn't seem that odd to me. I can see carrying around multiple phones to test the features and usability against each other. I can see testing the GPS in multiple phones against one or more dedicated GPS units.

Were I a web designer, I'd be tempted by this job posting. Is a bit of cynicism and humor really that awful? I thought the last paragraph gave a very clear idea of the sort of person they're looking for.

Broadcast still works well for sports, as long as you're interested in your home team. It's what I use for NFL.

In SunDog, you'd start out without much cash, but you also started with a spaceship. Now, in order to keep the spaceship you had to fulfill a contract. To fulfill that contract, you had to make money to keep the ship going, and you had to

Its frame was broken, but they (Top Gear) drove it off the rubble and, later, into the studio. They ended up putting it up on display in their live studio, you can see it sometimes when the camera moves around.

Work: rdist over ssh Personal projects: rsync over ssh In both cases I use a wrapper script to make the push as simple as possible. At work I push from the dev server to prod, at home I push from my desktop to either dev or (dev and prod).

I initially read this as "I would be pretty tickled if Google (a web search company) stomped on my work." And that made a lot of sense to me. If I had a really obscure project that I was proud of, and Google came along and made a project w

How you deal with those two employees will impact the rest of your team. Do you want the rest of your team to learn that it's important to be productive? Or would you rather teach them that it's most important to be seen to be working stra

I really hate people walking behind me when I'm trying to work. The feeling that someone might be behind me prevents me from fully concentrating on what I'm working on. A previous boss liked to stand behind me and watch (and occasionally m

The first thing that I would check would be the cables. Do you always use the same cable when plugging the laptop into the cable modem? Because when you're adding the router in you're also adding a second cable.

"Openly" was poorly phrased, I merely meant "that I know about". I don't actually spend a lot of time vetting bookstores. I liked Village Books, but I haven't lived up in Bellingham for well over 18 years. I like Elliott Bay. I like the UW

Of course they don't. But not carrying every book ever printed is different from refusing to carry a class of books because of their political content. And I did mention general bookstores. Let's take Glenn Beck books as an example. Pers

Think of it this way: app stores are kind of like privately owned bookstores. The owner of the bookstore doesn't have to carry the art book of nudes or the pro-Nazi thesis. I would be very unhappy with a general bookstore openly refusing

The higher you are up the escalation pyramid, the more available you have to be (though you are hopefully bothered less often). Of course humans can't be "always" available, but there can be a (self-imposed) obligation to be as available as

Thank you for posting this. The whole MS/CCSVI controversy has really enraged me. Whether or not there turns out to be some benefit for some percentage of MS sufferers, the hype, conspiracy theories, and two-bit clinics all over the place

I'd love to turn my cellphone ringer off, but it's not really practical for a sysadmin. And once I'm available 24/7 for work, I become available for anyone else that has that number.

Wow, that'd be pretty useful terminology. Most clones, particularly of the "programmed a version of foo site in just 7 hours" type, are indeed 2-dimensional clones, just copying the look without implementing the underlying complexity. "Pla
