I don't know if it still works, but Google used to support network providers force non-ssl searches using DNS poisoning. BT's WiFi offering used to do this, which is one of the rea…

So long as LTE is included in the UK models this time, I can see that being a big selling point as 4G is starting to slowly be rolled out here.

So the fix for this then is to start our own country. I hear there's some unclaimed land in Africa which would do nicely - http://www.neatorama.com/2010/02/05/earths-last-frontier-…

Vim when I want to quickly edit a file Geany for writing longer scripts RubyMine for Ruby development (mostly Chef cookbooks these days)

Now we just need a little refactoring to merge these two. If only httpstatus.es was on github.

Do managers really need to use version control? Give them Dropbox if they just want to share files simply.

The problems you had when trying to switch to git are the exact same problems I have as a git fangirl when trying to use svn. To a large extent the choice of version control system…

So I'm guessing the experiment is either A/B testing of layouts of number pads, or it's testing to see if people can cheat the leaderboard. Also, it must be a slow news day for thi…

Don't worry about it, if a user doesn't know what Tweets or direct messages are then the service isn't for them. You'll struggle to get people to start using Twitter just to regist…

This app-in-a-day side project took slightly longer than it should have due to Heroku's recent problems with Amazon. Built with Padrino, Heroku and a Theme Forest theme, it went fr…

I believe this incident probably is the reason for the drop in price, along with the incident at Bitomat just before. It's just people reacting to vulnerabilities in the market tho…

On some badly configured Nginx servers the filename extension isn't parsed correctly. A php.jpg file will be executed as php because a badly written regex will match the .php. Even…

One hopes he is smart enough to have a solid legal argument for what he has done. If he loses the legal battle then it's going to set a bad precedent for all these academic documen…

I don't see why not, it's not like the site is requesting permission to do anything with your Twitter account - they just use it to count unique users as far as can tell. Mind you,…
