    I'm curious, did you move for Act 20/22? Based on your model, I assume so. I'll be making the move in December.

    I've been with them for two years or so and in the beginning I had a streak of problems but actually the last year has been rock solid. Today's problem did take two of our large si…

    Everyone has different opinions, such as Rand Paul's view on family/abortion/etc. Some people agree with his views, others don't. However beyond that, you should be more educated b…

    I want to back this up. Just shut it down, and move on. You learned a lot, and maybe next time you will make something that can actually make money and work full time on. Probably …

    You are 100% correct, and I've thought so since the day it was announced. I believe this extends to all wearables, such as watches. Apple intelligently chose to leave the camera of…

    Thank you! This is the one point I very much disagreed with from this talk. His argument is that our logical brain, which is new, is first to interpret our environment but am prett…

    Creepy... That is the exact progression I had... Well, if you throw perl in there around the C/PHP part. What projects did you do with z80? I created the Usgard OS/shell with some …

    It sounds like you are referring to password hashing. Neither BLAKE nor MD5 should be used for password hashing. At the bottom of the article make sure to read his section "P.S. th…

    It's really more like a bank shut down, or maybe the bank owner stealing everyone's money. If you had a dollar in your pocket it would be fine, but here it was deposited into a ban…
