I worked for a State government about 10 years ago. Some asshole managed to lock every single user's account by having a script attempt a login with an invalid password 10 times. Nobody could work for ~7 hours.

It is well suited as a monitor, too, low input lag. I've been torn among all the options, but I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this one today. If you're weighing different options I highly recommend rtings.com for rev

I'm assuming you're using the traditional excel plugin model (written in c++ or .net) and not their new "Office Apps" (formerly add-ins) that works on both excel native and in Office365 web versions of excel?

this reminds me of a coworker who tried to create a tiny DC motor with a battery, a magnet, and _non-enameled_ wire. yeah, that didn't work out too well for him. I tried to explain why the wire needed to be enameled, but the cargo-cult

Imagine that Samsung shipped the Note 7 and the battery worked just fine but charged more slowly than people would like. If Samsung wasn't able to lock down the firmware (via DRM) on the charging chip and people were able to "repa

I've always hated built in GPS for two reasons. First and most important - the damn maps are always viewed from directly above the car so the map is 2D and North is always at the top. There is a lot of effin' mental work to try an

microsoft already has massive developer mindshare, but unlike elixir/elm/node/flavor-of-the-month the mindshare exists with 9-5ers or dark matter devs. The kinds of people who use it to get shit done but don't spend time

Platform as a Service. (specifically I use Azure App Services, but AWS Lambda has got to be similar). Not having to worry about managing a VM is such a delight. I had that nitty gritty bullshit. Now I just deploy my code and I can focus on

More anecdata - there were a bunch of crows who were harassing my elderly outdoor cat. So I grabbed my BB gun and shot one from my bedroom window. The two other companions flew off, but when I went to go dispose of the body, 6 more birds fl

If you were to use azure table storage and use shared access tokens for authorizing access to query results, you could run the whole thing from any individual data center for under $500/month. Assumption is that every IP (all 4.3 billi

Look, I used to really like Glenn Beck, his conspiratorial tendencies for the past 8 years or so have driven me nuts. However, he is completely open about where he comes from, he is biased and admits it. He doesn't claim to be some neu
