   The big one that likely upset him (and which he more specifically calls out in a previous piece) was the elimination of the qualified small business exclusion: Not only did the state's Franchise Tax Board (FTB) eliminate a tax break o

   Can anyone recommend a good email/calendar host for custom domains? Edit: I have several Google Apps for Business domains. I'm looking for alternatives.

   Now it's too bad per-user firewalling cannot be done easily on neither Windows nor OS X. I haven't tried this, but pf seems to have the support there, so I'm not sure why you couldn't. It's also too bad one user (say the one

   They already paid for it. The service is value added, which the taxpayer didn't pay for.

   I have the previous gen iMac with the best graphics card config and Aperture flies compared to on any of my other machines. It's definitely up to the task.

   I'd be surprised and disappointed if those companies were using GCC to compile avionics code written in C++.

    Did you miss this summer? It was really nice from August through most of October.

    I can confirm the newer home units are much improved. I was getting 23Mbps down and 4Mbps up, with an 820ms ping on one of these over the holidays. This is an enormous improvement for rural Internet users.

    You should really consider redesigning this feature. Having "Teams" control all the personal accounts of their employees means none of my companies can use it. So, we're stuck with folder sharing for the foreseeable future. I'd expect Teams

    It was a great solution for those of us who used it. It was also backed by S3 and Amazon CloudFront (as far as I can tell), and was integrated into the site, rather than being forced onto a wiki page or some such. For a lot of us, the GitHu

    The downloads aren't stored in git. They're stored on Amazon S3. Every download link redirects to cloud.github.com, which is fronted by Amazon CloudFront. Which, conveniently enough, is exactly what they want us to do ourselves now. I alrea

    There's no misunderstanding here. You're removing a feature which a lot of us use and pay for. This sucks.

    This really sucks. I've been using the downloads page to distribute binaries and/or source distributions of a few packages, as it was a logical and easy place to do so. For example, my biplist Python package has the versions available here:

    Any insights you can share? I'm looking at this now, and it's not encouraging compared to dedicated hardware.

    "lead, mercury and arsenic" As the manufacturer of this product you're going to want to be very careful making claims like that in a public forum. I see no evidence of CDPH certification, despite the product being sold from San Francisco:

    Ditto, except it was Napoli and they shut down all the ticket machines on one end of the line, turned all the turnstiles green to let people through, then shook down everyone with a backpack on at the other end. A learning experience.

    I lasted almost two months on my 11" MacBook Air before hooking it up to a 27" Thunderbolt Display in a fit of desperation. As my traveling machine it's fantastic, but I prefer my iMac as a full time dev machine. (I mostly do Cocoa dev in X

    Can anyone offer any insight as to why you wouldn't generate a one-time random string with a short lifetime for password reset emails? Sending a blob with data in it (encrypted or otherwise) seems like a potential information leak with no u

    If you're with who I think you are, your company's website is down and the company Twitter feed hasn't been updated since last November. If I had to guess at Apple's reasons (given the "bad faith" line), it'd be that they suspect you of som
