   I've used Car2Go on and off for a couple of years. I've never used Zipcar, in large part because I know the round-trip requirement would limit my use of it to specific errands rather than place-to-place transportation, and there&#

   So... "use what are effectively time zones, just not labeled or standardized in any way"? That's a pretty poor solution.

   It's not even that. You're limited to a max of 15 people per $99-per-year account.

   Take a look at Coffeescript ( http://coffeescript.org ) and you'll see what I mean about there being a Ruby-like language hiding underneath all the cruft.

   Javascript is definitely a weird language in a lot of ways, particularly given the prototype system, assorted mixed paradigms, and the cultural focus on anonymous function callbacks, but I think it's a bit much to say it's "a

    I don't know anything about wine, but I can definitely tell the difference between, say, chicken, turkey, beef, and alligator if you made them into sausages. I'd be seriously surprised if I couldn't tell insect apart from any

    Just as an individual, I get similar recruiter pings all the time. It's always contractor jobs (typically with a set term of 6 months and a "possibility" of longer-term work) with a tangential relation at best to the skillset

    If you're not getting enough people saying "yes", you're not offering enough money.

    Same. I generally trust the FCC to be stupid rather than (as ISPs are right now) actively malicious.

    Condemns, not illegalizes. This is pointless finger-wagging, not a bill with an actual legal effect.

    This is about what I thought. If it needs effectively the same prep work as a normal meal, plus cooking, there's basically no reason for anybody to go to the extra hassle of shuffling stuff in and out of the machine versus just doing t

    I've found myself thinking about this sometimes. I already keep track of all my online accounts using a password manager. It's kind of morbid to think about, but it wouldn't be too hard to add notes on each account about who

    Does anyone know if this preserves Mac extended file attributes (which contain tags, etc)? Dropbox does, which is pretty nice.

    At that point you're moving from bureaucratic processes to legal ones, though, and the expense skyrockets because of requirements for things like bar certifications.

    I'm guessing their power of attorney is (despite the name) specifically constructed so that they're acting directly as a proxy for you rather than in the capacity of of a lawyer. It's organized by a company, but the intent se

    100% this. I've worked at a web hosting company before - not a major operation at a time, but we did enough business to staff one floor of an office building with our support and management people. Something like 25%-50% of our support

    Trying to configure DNS settings for herokuapp.com isn't going to work, given that it isn't, you know, actually your domain to configure. What you should have is something like connoratherton.com A 54.221.226.116 www

    Yeah. I was making simple choose-your-own adventure stuff in grade 6 or 7 with just HTML+Javascript. There was no stack involved, just me experimenting with copy-pasting stuff I'd seen on the web. jQuery makes even that learning curve

    The point of the threat is that they'd get a warrant to seize literally everything top to bottom and tie it all up for years as "evidence" (if he'd ever even get it back at all without it being "lost" somewhere
