Earlier today I poked around at the ArcGIS API they are calling from the flex app - is this what you're using? For my particular location there is one dot that is likely the one I'm waiting to have fixed, but it could be one of several surr

The tutorial fails to open with the Chrome FlashBlock extension. The button doesn't do anything, and I have no way to selectively enable (click to enable) flash on your page. It'd be best to pop up the overlay with the flash element enabled

You can turn that entirely off (I did as it's way more likely to be some celebrity than anything of interest to me) by going in to the "What's Hot" circle (choose it from the left side list of circles) and then adjusting the slider (at the

Android Market / Play solves this by letting you set a PIN that's required to make purchases (which does not include Free app installs). It seems like a good compromise.

Here's one I've played around with. http://colorfilter.wickline.org/ I'm not really clear on how it or color blindness in general works. So I don't know if finding the filter which makes the image unchanged for me (color-blind) is a good

That is only the case at short sighted stores that assume all customers are out to steal. The units themselves can be quite good - Wegmans has machines as quick as the ones I used to use when i worked as a cashier at a grocery store. As nea

Even before reading the article I thought this might be a Brother printer being discussed. Sure enough... I've had a three models of Brother laser printers, and each one did this. On each one I covered the window with tape and on each one I

It seems like it would be easy for them (or someone else) to make a module for the furnace end that buffers these pulses while supplying the 24V power through the existing wiring. Some relays and some timing logic to only close the circuit

I average somewhere between 1.5-3GB without any Netflix streaming and fairly light tethering to my laptop. I do a lot of audio streaming via Rdio, but otherwise I'm really not sure where the data's being consumed.

Bacon is just one of many food items used for flavoring in foods. Removing it would, I assume, have a negative impact on the flavor of the food, otherwise Chipotle wouldn't have chosen to include it in the first place. The "pork flavor" of

If the assumption is that homework and tests are designed to help the student learn the material, then subjective grading is very beneficial. For example, there are ways of solving math or comp sci problems (including simple "typos"), espec

Also the requirement the user interact with a system dialog for every application installation. This isn't MUCH different from what market was not that long ago, but now that Google's market does seamless background updates, Amazon's at a b

I think you are spot on, and while it seems ridiculous to even me, the "friend" association really bugs me on Facebook. I realize it is just a label on a website, but the implication of adding someone to my Facebook friends list seems to be

On the iPad version, at least, you often have to re-watch commercials because you rewind, or because the player bugged out and you had to close it and re-open it. It really is an inferior experience compared to Netflix.

The first thing that comes to mind is uTest ( http://www.utest.com/ ). It does the similar type of crowdsourcing, but the quality of the testers we experienced were pretty horrible (with a few exceptions). The guaranteed video of the testin

That only works when the tiered plans are cheaper than the unlimited plans. In Verizon's case, at least, they are not. If I wasn't being grandfathered in, I'd be going from Unlimited to 2GB and paying exactly the same price. I'd be perfectl

I've wanted something like this to be part of the OS, although it causes a bunch of hassles in BlackBerry (from a developer's perspective). There was a discussion on Android-Developers about this (as a core OS feature), in which (I think) D

I find the idea behind the lottery linked savings account very interesting. In order to save others the trouble of looking for it (although it was a quick Google), I believe this is the podcast you were referring to. http://www.freakonomic

In reading your second paragraph I did a bit of a double-take. You started to summarize almost exactly what Josh wrote to me in an email back when I contacted them with some questions. My point was that while I like the idea of a bank drive

I gave it a fair shake initially, but it turned out to have too many little quirky issues (bugs) that I couldn't be bothered to waste more time with (on my primary development machine). I was constantly locking up Compiz with it enabled and

That's why I like using it in conjunction with passwords. The forget password link just provides an auto-auth one-time use link that suggests (but doesn't force) the user create their new password. In theory, you could just continue to clic

I think it depends on if you are trying to avoid automated attacks or targeted attacks. There seem to be a lot of bots scanning for vulnerable sites - this would potentially work for those. If you get targeted specifically, then, yeah, the

I did this today - started and cancelled a VPS about 10 minutes after I started it. I was credited all but about $0.50 (on a $20/month VPS). Everything was automatic, and I got the "refund" email seconds after clicking the delete button.

Does this end up being one per day per device, or one per day per application? As an aside, I installed the test application on the marketplace to experience my default notification sound at the same time as the alert was pushed. Cluttering

I don't know how iOS handles it, but Android treats rotation... oddly. If you haven't specifically handled it, it basically kills your activity, loads the new rotated layout (which can be radically different from the other orientation's vie

Amazon's storage costs seem to be more directly marketed as the cost to store files, not to store music files. In terms of direct competitors in the web-based file storage offerings, Google Docs / file storage seems to be a fairly close o
