    If you're looking for a more DIY solution, I found a tool call iOS Beta Builder helpful. It prepares the XML manifest and creates a nice HTML page, so your testers just need to cli…

    The browser defaults for outline are ugly, that's why so many people set outline to none. So, some visual examples that show sexy outline stylings seems a more reasonable approach.…

    It's interesting that in North America it was an intentional decision to make land and mobile #'s indistinguishable, yet we are now supposed to keep track. I'm probably a bit slopp…

    The killer feature is that you know when the message was opened. With SMS/text-messaging you have no idea if it was received by anyone - since it might have been sent to a landline…

    I'm also surprised that the funding source requirement somehow makes this discrimination arms-reach and hence legal. If i was a millionaire homophobe, could i create a fund for pos…

    True. And speaking of GoDaddy a client recently mentioned that they registered two new domains with godaddy. Total cost (with all the ridiculous, unneeded extras): $138 Misleading …

    Are you opposed to a lightweight framework? Or a templating tool like Smarty? Ideally, a good framework would make a cleaner, more coherent codebase. If you restrict frameworks, I …

    PHP4 end of life was at the end of 2007. I don't think you'd lose many users for requiring php5. (sorry couldn't reply to the correct nested comment)

    I'm sure it's a great service, but it's overkill. Still looking for something as simple as a shared webhosting (mail and webserver work "out of the box", easy control panel) but wi…

    Isn't this just a VPS? "Cloud Servers" = 256MB for ~$10/month which is a great price - but it looks like a plain old VPS. I could set it up, but there's no "friendly" way to admini…

    Ask HN: More reliable than shared webhosting, more friendly than a VPS?

    I have several past projects and clients on shared web hosts. Basically, a single server, running apache configured to run hundreds of virtual domains. I've been monitoring these s…

    How do people get torrent files? From the web. So, if Apple is going to be consistent, a web browser shouldn't be allowed on the iphone. Silly. (And of course, you could always get…
