One thing that should be emphasized for anyone who has not use FBA before: The cost of shipping something to an amazon warehouse is REALLY cheap if you use their provided shipping service. I would say it's about 1/3 of the actual

Reading your comments, I can really sense your frustration because I feel the same way. I live 15 minutes from California's state capital and this whole fiasco makes me want to just drive up there and do something.

Whenever it comes to anything to do with the government, I hear the "44,000 pages of regulations" excuse all the time. But even if that was the case, there is no excuse for not having an adequate architecture to at least let peopl

I hope someone does the math and figure out whether paying money for OT work is more cost effective than just hiring more people. I personally think OT should be paid in comp time, not cash.

The thing that bothers me is that it only has information for people working in government related jobs. For example, you can also get the name, salary, and title of all state workers. I find that kind of wrong. Why not make the list anonym

Isn't it a bit dangerous to show Meem's picture all over the internet like that? What if she become a target for retaliation for the story, or she loses her job because of the unwanted attention.

I have never worked on a high traffic site before, so I am just mostly talking out of my ass. But when I looked at the html source for the coveredca website, it had a lot of of basic problems: there were 3 DOCTYPES on one page, developer co

You make a good point, but what is the benefit of going down with your ship here. It's not like the gun debate where there are two sides to pander to. In this scenario, there are people who hate spying, and people who don't care.

I never got a good explanation of why Feinstein is so interested in keeping these programs alive. What is her horse in the race here? Or does she honestly believe that these programs protect the safety of Americans?

Yes and it's much of the same reason we like smartphones. Videos, music, and pictures! And the big screen because of poor vision and clumsy fingers. It's hard to click and browse stuff with a tiny screen.

I used to think like that too. But then one day I saw an older person who was really happy with the Note II. I think sometimes we over generalize, with good intentions, and make wrong assumptions about what the older folks want. I now think

This part also makes this a bit confusing: "As a final (and alarming) demonstration, they showed a Mactans-pwned phone turn itself on, swipe open, enter the passcode, and call another phone." So can they attack a passcode protecte
