It thinks I am already a PhD student; funny! Neat. I do daydream about applying for the Computer Science PhD program at Stanford and moving out to the bay area, but then I snap back to my senses and…

I am not 100% certain I understand the difference between XMPP support and XMPP federation support. I assume though if they are dropping the support to route between chat providers than my websites' Z…

Wow! As a Georgia Tech alumni with a MS from the College of Computing, I approve of this development!

Actually, as a user of Windows 8 in Parallels I find activating the start screen to be difficult because the Apple+C keyboard combo maps to Copy rather than to Win+C. And activating the corner of the…

Kevin Mitnick seems to be doing well with http://mitnicksecurity.com . Granted his celebrity hacker status may contribute to that success, but it goes to show that a Felony conviction is by no means…

To the OP, it would seem reasonable to inquire with an attorney about petitioning to have the conviction set aside. I am not a lawyer, but it seems that a restoration of rights via means of an expung…

Paying fees for basic banking accounts is really foreign to me personally as an entrepreneur. In the U.S., the big banks all charge fees, but it has been a point of pride for me to figure out how to g…

Okay, thanks for sharing that perspective. Perhaps its the case of different cities having different business cultures within France? Not unlike how doing a high tech startup is going to look somewha…

Wow! I read through this entire article and the thing that struck home is even how painful this process sounds vs my experience incorporating businesses in my home State in the United States. Even b…

I used to use Google Listen, but at some point started using BeyondPod and recently - within the last couple of weeks - went to the paid version of BeyondPod. It works great.

It's not true that zip codes are unique to a particular city and state in the United States. Where I live, for instance, several couple of cities share the same post office - and thus zip code. It d…

Nice! Thanks Billy for uncovering this.

I wonder how feasible it would be to add a plugin to the Evernote application to tie in with GnuPG through gpgme.

As others have pointed out already, the article is perhaps not the greatest. But it is a fun short read nonetheless. I think the section on Fear struck home the most where she wrote, "This technique …

Actually, according to the article HD 140283 is only 190 light years away. That's practically right next door to us. So no, the star could quite possibly still be alive and well in its old age.…

Sweet! Another neat project from Mr. Charles Nutter. I look forward to experimenting with this. One of my latest projects involves a cross-platform GUI built with the help of JRuby.

Very sad. I've always loved to use IMAP instead of POP for e-mail. Though I have never met Mr. Crispin, I feel honored to be able to use his invention.

Overall, I think the OP's article is excellent.

You remove as many barriers to the purchase as possible. Allow monthly credit card billing, but incentivize longer term payments. For example, PivotalTracker.com charges monthly. However, I personall…

Excellent job! Keep your drive, motivation, and by all means keep launching your software! You will go much farther than most people. I also started teaching myself programming at 14. 16 years later,…

Most of my consulting work comes through word of mouth and referrals from people who I've met at various meetup groups, hack nights, etc. Some leads come through the website from people searching from…
