Yup. Their interface doesn't even support the ability to add licenses to an existing certificate since their software update. Thanks but no thanks, I can save my company a bomb by …

Some viable arguments lost in a tirade of hysteria. I've never written an app for the iPhone/iPad, so I have no first hand experience with the approval/rejection nonsense. I do how…

FortiGate flags this site as containing malware. Odd.

Diaspora will be a geek resource at best, possibly backed by a nice network in academia. For the vast majority of people who post photos of their weekend (mis)adventures to share w…

Once decoded, the alien message will read: "Please update the playlist. We've seen all of these already".

+1 ...and it is my glue. So many things in my environment wouldn't happen to be able to talk to each other if it weren't for Perl.

The iPhone has been out for years and encompasses a single device from a single manufacturer. Sales to date prove the success. Android is shiny and new, any handset manufacturer ca…

I realise that PHP gets slated as often as not, but considering it's a language I am familiar with, and that time constraints in many instances mean I must simply sit down and code…

This bill strikes me as being a little odd in light of the drive toward the small and agile versus the monolithic and too big to fail. I think this paragraph sums up the potential …

"There’s a report from the early 1950s (in this PDF) of a one-ton spill of the stuff. It burned its way through a foot of concrete floor and chewed up another meter of sand and gra…

Great slideshow. I voted with my wallet for DropBox after buying my iPhone and finding them in the AppStore. I don't really need 50GB worth of storage, but it's an awesome app that…

So what's a viable strategy for complaint? People are used to ignoring EULA's and TOS by now. They just want to use Facebook, comment on photos, join groups, play games and keep in…

Thank you. Yet more sound advice from the HN community. The C Puzzle Book is good fun, and based on comments in the C threads, I cannot wait to get my hands on CII. I think I'll ge…

This is the kind of use I've envisioned having an iPad for, sort of a digital newspaper with the possibility to extend the information base with apps. Looking forward to the iPad l…

I found some brilliant discussion threads on learning C on HN, resulting in the purchase of the C Programming Language (2nd Ed) book and the C Puzzle Book, which I am working throu…

Even though I don't use it as much as I should, I enjoy having a small box with Linode. Great VPS provider. Looks like the weekend is upgrade time.

"Next up is probably Ruby but it looks like perl to me so I'm in no rush." Oh dear. Expect a early morning visit from the Ruby Re-education Police, who will no doubt politely beat …

Why carry around the weight of a framework if you're happier doing things this way? Insofar as an idea on putting together a sane PHP project built from the ground up, I think it's…

The industry sells image analysers hard. I've run ones by M86 Security and IronPort, and couldn't implement them based on the suggested approach, i.e. an automatic email wagging a …

Valid point.

Bit of a head scratcher for content owners as you point out. It would however make a nice bullet point for considering a web site: if you're considering HeyZap, you have a problem.…
