   I once quit halfway through an application to some company (a consulting firm? this was years ago) because the web-based form wouldn't let me advance without filling in information about my high school that I no longer have. I did have

   I can't find the reference right now, but that feature was present in beta versions of Android 4.3 (?) and removed because it broke certain existing apps.

   7 is meant to be handled by the developer or possibly by Apple, not by the consumer. If you have to manage versions manually, Apple has failed you. So I get to wait two weeks for Apple to approve the developer's bugfix instead

   If you want something Free/Open Source to mess around with, try GL-117 (your distro probably has a package for it): http://www.heptargon.de/gl-117/gl-117.html It doesn't compare well to the modern commercial

   Is it known how doxers are able to get information like social security numbers? I can understand a determined party being able to find, say, your phone number and home address, but certain information just shouldn't be available to th

    Getting a fast busy signal when calling 911 when you have service and can reach normal numbers is a serious problem that needs to be resolved no matter what angle you take. For the other issues, agreed, there's only so much you can r

    I see some Portuguese variable names. That suggests to me that one or more of the people involved are from Brazil.

    These days I'd rather see journalists use stock photos of mining hardware. I assume that didn't exist at the time the photo dates back to.

    Since this product opens users up to all kinds of identity theft, it's worse than that. It's like a fire alarm with a flashing light that triggers epileptic seizures.

    Google has on-site masseuses. They also have dedicated massage rooms with no windows. (I've seen one.) I hope that I'm wrong, but I'm suspicious about what happens in there.

    "I'd be willing to bet that they are the most highly-paid baristas in the country." Rumor also has it that the CIA has the highest-paid trash collectors in the world. (All paper waste is incinerated on-site, and is never touc

    Well, they get uncomfortable being asked for their name in a context where they are already known to be doing covert work for the CIA . If it was a normal Starbucks where nobody in the room knew about their day job, they probably wouldn&#x

    What Android apps do you use that rely on native code? All the ones that I'm aware of are either games or half-arsed ports of iOS apps.

    What was most frustrating to me about J2ME was how few device manufacturers/service providers were willing to open up to third-party app developers. In the U.S., I found these phones to be about as open as video game consoles: You have

    This looks fantastic for an idea I've been kicking around: Using BitTorrent as a way for clients to upload multi-gigabyte files to a website without using FTP. The idea is to leverage BitTorrent's robustness in the face of random
