I've implemented electronic signatures before and what I like to do is have the browser submit the agreement back to the server and the server rejects it if it's been altered.

It seems like something like Twitter would benefit lots from a good generational GC. Any more info on the one they wrote and how it differs from the built-in one? I'd love to learn more.

Your other objections are interesting and I want to research them further. But I wonder how this comment doesn't prove the editorial's point: > It does delegitimise the extremely severe nature of the illness. How does merely positing a

1. Don't hand-write boilerplate SQL but use a library (CLSQL, JPA) where possible. 2. Use parameterized queries rather than pasting strings together. 3. There is no step 3. Seriously, it's not hard.

GnuCash is great; I use it for both personal and business. If you have it use PostgreSQL for the data store you can run it at home (keeping the database there or on a server somewhere if you like) and then connect to it from another machine

I use XEmacs. Many (~10) years ago I went back and forth between both and found that I really preferred XEmacs more. A lot of it went to the thought that JWZ and others put into being a proper X11 application; and the fact that it wasn't X

I don't have that enabled but zsh also expands bang constructs with tab. So any commands I want to double check, or if I am demonstrating to someone, I just hit tab. Also handy for expressions like !-2:3 where if I messed up I can just hi

I use remember-mode in conjunction with org-mode for the same thing. Random notes go in my personal file or the file for the client/project they relate to. Then periodically I review the "notes" section and work it into the doc better.

Great post. This is similar to the idea of a site my friend and I put together called Lessons Learned ( http://lessonslearnedby.us/ ). We've only just started coding on it again after focusing on ramping up another more easily monetizable

Does Japan have laws about false advertising? How about plagiarism? At the very least Google should be made to feel shame and lose face, something significant there.

It gets annoying for handles too. I usually just use "vsync" but certain systems smash the first character upcase and it looks ugly as "Vsync". So I try "VSync" and it smashes all characters but the first downcase. Not to mention systems
