   @Software errors: I second that. If the result isn't officially documented or on StackOverflow, it's a total tossup whether it'll be easy to find or not.

   I upgraded iTunes right after I wrote the post - Up Next is exactly what I was hoping for.

   I'm still waiting for iTunes to have a normal queue that only plays the songs in it.

   This seems to portray them in a negative light, but I think the lack of installers/uninstallers is wonderful.

   I could picture myself reacting exactly as described. It's a good point.

   I would bet money that Google "anonymously" tracks you regardless of whether you're logged in or not. And by anonymous, that's only until someone data mines the dozens of searches you do per day.

   I'm assuming that storing $129.99 as 12999 and dividing by 100 when necessary would be preferable?

   WebHostingTalk[1] would be a better place to ask this question. There are certainly plenty of companies there that will help you create a turnkey business, but personally I don't think the budget hosting market is very lucrative - if you lo

    Comcast boxes are such a ripoff. They used to be $3/mo, and now they're at $7/mo. A brand new DOCSIS3 modem is less than $90[1], and the ones most people rent are bottom of the barrel DOCSIS2 modems. [1] http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-SB61

    I maintain a small ad-free site that links to a bunch of job boards[1]. There are definitely a few good sites out there. You can also wait until tomorrow morning and post in the monthly WhoIsHiring thread. [1] http://careers.sh

    That makes a lot of sense, thanks!

    Thanks for the suggestion - it also led me to some other cool projects like git-media. If git doesn't keep its own copy of the data, a Dropbox "failure" would still be unrecoverable, right?

    The thing is, Dropbox treats their version as the primary copy. For instance, I added several directories to Dropbox, and decided that I didn't want it syncing a few of them. I de-selected the directories under "Selective Sync" and it remov

    How viable would it be to keep all of your data in a git repository? Let's say I'm backing up 25gb of music, could I have Dropbox sync everything but the .git folder, and just do a git revert if shit goes down? Will it end up using twice as

    Few thoughts: - Don't worry about code backups, assuming you have the following: 1. Local copy 2. Local backups 3. GitHub 4. GitHub's own backups 5. Copy on Heroku 6. Heroku's backups (?) 7. Any server backups That's a hell of a lot of back

    I mostly just go to reddit meetups in Boston, so my perspective is slightly skewed, but I find the biggest problem is usually the venue. Very few places can seat more than 6 people or so together comfortably.

    Pedantic note: I'm not excusing them for lacking something as critical as a secure way to transmit sensitive information, but it's certainly more involved than "ten dollars worth of PHP." You're probably looking at setting up a dedicated se
