Have you ever read 1984. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak I'm of the opinion we should dispose of useless words. Why even have the word terrified in the dictionary when you can use very afraid? Very good and

This sounds like a situation that was just blown out of partition. An officer who cares about the theft of five cents on a single occasion is an officer with too much free time. Does he realize how much his five minutes cost tax payers when

I was wondering this too. Won't they get back most of their loss from the insurance policy? Unless the fire was not covered due to a specific cause.

I think this qualifies as one of those features users never use therefore it can be deprecated and removed.

I believe Apple fanboys are those who always have the latest Apple products, as hunterwalk describes he has. Seems to me he is just a closet fanboy. Apparently he doesn't actually care if Apple opens up at all, he'll stick with th

I kept reading your comment expecting it to retort at some point; but no, you're interested in the controller. From the pictures, as it mentions nothing in text, it looks like they have setup dual zones on the trackpads. If they do all

The article mentions Reddit being the place where C.D. Hermelin was textually abused for being a hipster; or more accurately, accused of being a hipster solely because he was using a typewriter. Reddit is the only place where the internet n

I hope that it gets harder, but so far it doesn't appear it will.

I feel like level 4 doesn't take http://www.mjt.me.uk/posts/falsehoods-programmers-believe-ab... into account. Also, the question on level 4, "The only gramatically correct address in that file is", grammatically is spelled incorrectly. S

I got to level 4 by writing a simple script bruteforce method, tried every number from 1 to 100+ until I got the right answer. Don't want to give out the answer, but yes, the answer was more than 100.

Agreed. Rather lame, just found the solution on pastebin.

You can also do this in Chrome/webkit by inspecting the element and messing with -webkit-filter, I used: -webkit-filter: brightness(50%) contrast(5000%) sepia(0%); To reveal the code.

This is some fairly rough feedback, but: First, I'd like to simply mention that privacy and security are two different but very important things. The difference is that while your severs may be "secure" from hackers, if you do not take care

No, the messages are not encrypted, they are only passed over SSL to prevent people in the middle from getting the messages - just as Skype does... but Tesla or possibly Firebase can still read your messages if they wanted to. So you'd be j

SSL is secure connections, but not message encryption. This still means the messages are visible to Tesla.im or any server that transfers the mssages, even if you do not log it at some point is available is cleartext. That poses a privacy r

They claim AES 256-bit encryption, and yet when I go through debug and networking logging they clearly only encrypt messages with regular SSL - so what does it mean when they say they encrypt? Just that they may store the messages encrypted

The majority of services I create are designed for heavy Internet consumers - not for the average consumer. Therefore, most the people I am targeting use AdBlocks - so I have never found use in AdWords except to rank up hits.

Also, it could simply that both (or all) pages were poor and you need create a new one. Or simply that the hits you may have gotten were fake, useless or otherwise clickjacked to go to your website by other people advertising their websites

I would agree with using the Internet, though I would not limit to any particular site, tutorial, or guides. I personally learned most of the programming I know from Google searches on per-case needs - the easiest solution is find something

I believe I understand the concept, and the purpose, but this seems limited to specific types of web apps. General sites (news, blogs, and most services) - this approach would not make the most sense, since JavaScript interacting with the D

I'd recommend Stripe.com for simplicity nowadays, but as you mentioned you're in India - your options change. My last recommendation would be PayPal. My top would probably be Amazon Payments, if that works, or a middleman service - like Rec

Quite a few years ago I was hired to create a DMS for a used car dealership - they gave up the contract half way though to use an existing piece of software. So it's also that car dealerships are cheap, they really think any presence is goo
