Fraud is not the same thing as incompetence.

I've used them for a few personal sites and projects with no complaints. The fee for wildcard certs (~60USD) is a one-off to verify your identity - usually via a quick phone call t…

Nice game - how much work is something like this? I like how the controls/movement are precise yet just forgiving enough. Only thing, I'm not hearing any music (Chrome 11 beta, OS …

I tried this and an extra field appeared above the URL allowing me to specify a value for HTTP_HOST.

Very handy - worked well for a couple of simple rules; it'd be good to see more feedback when it can't handle something (e.g. feeding it the rules from http://stackoverflow.com/que…

Solving it perfect is non-trivial (I've known entire PhDs to be spent working on a small subset of the problem). There are a number of products/projects that solve it to some exten…

Nice execution - as per the comment below, something like this would've saved me lots of manual fiddling back when I was doing lots of PDF stuff. Given the focus on APIs I guess yo…

The RSS feed just shows the title; my reaction was along the lines of "endtimes... of what? next!". Didn't get as far as the description. Having taken a look now, sounds handy!
