Or they may have experience with people that walk in and declare all code as "insecure" and "dangerous" or "unusable". They usually promise the world and deliver a small fraction, if even that. Then, for the ne

I don't know if this will inconvenience the one customer unless they bought it used. Someone with connections to the counterfeiters would have owned that valid product for some short period of time and probably kept it.

Is it correct to assume a Texas resident may order one from another dealer and drive it home? Can they just drive it home and legally have it registered in Texas?

We tend to forget that Microsoft ALREADY did what these "startups" did. MSFT already pushed the envelope and changed the way we use technology in our day to day lives. There is (probably) only so much change one company / per

Correct. But the quicker you stop working with legacy code, the quicker the cutoff can be. Even automotive manufacturers have to supply parts for cars they manufactured for X number of years after the final production. I hope new 2014 cars

Regardless of the geographic location you call home, I believe that it's not "if" but "when" the government will remove your freedom. They may do this out of "political", "religious", or any othe

On a similar note: many hospitals can and will negotiate your bill after the fact. A family member has had procedures performed that cost in excess of $20k, but was able to negotiate the bill to less than $5k. Although I am not sure if this

I'm not a health-care professional, so I don't know: But wouldn't you be able to not tell the hospital that you have insurance? Pretend like you don't have any from the beginning? Or can this backfire?

Usually, apple tries to improve firmware speed after they add features. I found that staying updated is the best policy.

I believe the point was that WP is lagging behind the times. A developer that works with modern frameworks and looks at the WP codebase will quickly ask themselves "Why"... There is always a "backwards compatible" argume

I think you misunderstood my comment regarding the internet. Many people think that just having a website will magically triple their business revenue. That's plainly not true. The internet is a medium. Just as any medium used to deliv

Yes, your guess is correct. Also, we're not talking about $5, we're talking a few hundred dollars for the whole trip.

Honestly, I would find a better place to work and live. When you live paycheck to paycheck with a good salary, you're going to become tired very soon.

Adding the internet into the mix doesn't make anything better. The reason why this "website" grew was because of the human aspect. Regarding travel agents: when I booked my honeymoon, my travel agent was able to get me a bett

I believe that people that want to avoid a question do best to answer it using terminology which can be interpreted in many ways. Politicians have been known to do this. That being said, he probably answered the question as well as he can o

Many developers have a bad LIFE / WORK balance. For the long run, I decided not to work beyond working hours. I try to enjoy the little time I do have with friends and family.

I would like to mention that the details of this project seem a little sparse. For a truly secure solution, this system will need to (1) define a secure standard and (2) allow domain owners to personally host this system which can connect t

It seems like Microsoft and Google have switched places. I tend to trust Microsoft more these days.

I disagree with the hungry part (if you are referring to someone that needs the money). Being "hungry" just means that they will be stuck with a company but will not love what they do.

That's how you get the best talent. There is no secret question you can ask to find great talent. I've interviewed persons that did very very well during the interview process, but failed miserably on a day-to-day basis.

I agree and we do this too on our site. We target our marketing efforts, we don't just throw money out without thinking about it.

This is just one example. The problem is that different sites / products attract different types of persons. In our ecommerce site, we noticed almost no difference in conversions. We use coupon codes to track our marketing efforts.

You could always make it open-source and allow users to "download" and "upload" their mailbox. This way, when one service provider is shutdown, you can find a host and install the email system and upload your mailbox. I

Well, the article mentions a "tipster" that described the event. This seems like important information that should have been included if it was said.
