eekfuh··on If You Bought Apple Stock Instead of Products
Well in 2007 I bought a mac and ended up developing for my iPhone and I've made much more than 6x (about the going rate for 2007 items).
eekfuh··on Chumby One for $49.99 (+$5 shipping)
Great deal for a new chumby one.

eekfuh··on HP webOS Developers Await TouchPad, Pre3 With Questions, Optimism
As a developer of a few WebOS apps, I'll publicly say that HP hasn't done anything to entice me to continue developing for them. From not doing anything to sell more devices to not helping developers write good apps, by having the worst documentation and public api's available.
eekfuh··on IPv4 is depleted: Final five blocks allocated to registries
I heard Egypt isn't using theirs.

(edit: i can feel the down-voting coming)

eekfuh··on Ask HN: Review RentPost.com
How is this different than propertysolutions.com?
eekfuh··on Xbox Kinnect user experiencing an afterimage.
You can also just your digital camera, my iphone 4's cam picks it up (it comes up as just normal white light).
eekfuh··on Poll: How old were you when you started programming?
14 on a TI 83 while bored at school. Then I crashed my dad's car into a fence at 14 and he made me learn java as my punishment (I was trying to wash his civic, so he wasn't harsh on me). I hated java so bad that other than some TI basic apps, I didn't program again until 17 when I got heavy into PHP and then landed a job doing that.
eekfuh··on Check if your email is amongst those compromised in Gawker break-in
(I wasn't going to reply but since I'm getting pretty heavily down-voted I will)

I was commenting on how I thought it was interesting that so many government employee's would use their work email for (most likely) non-work related sites.

Also I find it interesting how assuming you were off such a small comment I posted.

eekfuh··on Check if your email is amongst those compromised in Gawker break-in
266 emails whose domain end with .gov

Very interesting.

eekfuh··on ToroPHP - A Tiny PHP Framework
I've used doctrine a few times, its nice that it does auto-loading by default (helps on load-times), but it does immediately quadruple the codebase of almost all my projects.
eekfuh··on ToroPHP - A Tiny PHP Framework
Anyone know of a good n small ORM for PHP?
eekfuh··on Linode is down again
Actually their SLA is only 99.9% uptime. Thats 525 minutes.
eekfuh··on [dead]
Hopefully it somehow includes mobile.me becoming free...
eekfuh··on Facebook Fails at https
I've known about this for awhile, which is why I use Firefox + HTTPS Everywhere by the EFF, to force encryption on Facebook.
eekfuh··on [dead]
Suprised they only used the continental USA in their visual figure and yet used the whole entire USA area in their number chart. Maybe they enlarged the USA to make up for the enormous amount of area that Alaska is.
eekfuh··on Rackspace, Hostgator, Linode customers must file taxes in Texas from now on.
Wow. This could seriously hurt Texas if people start pulling out of the TX data centers and those data centers are forced to shut down or move to a more friendly state. I personally use Linode and this freaks me out a bit.
eekfuh··on Don't make your Android app free for 1 day
I wouldn't call that gaming the system. If I recall, there was a pretty unknown game by PikPok that was released as a paid app, they made it free for a day, then raised the app price back up after that day and it worked very well for them, they even made it to the top 25 paid apps and was number one free app the day it was free.

If this wasn't a good idea, or was considered gaming the system, I'm pretty sure the FAAD (http://freeappaday.com/) for iPhone wouldn't be as popular as it is right now. People love FAAD.

eekfuh··on Ask HN: Any interest in a Salt Lake City or Provo, UT Hackers/Founders meetup?
Nate, you know everyone.

I am.
eekfuh··on 1099 filings expand greatly starting in 2012: the penalties for failing to file
What if you buy starbucks coffee 3 times a week, during work, making it a total of $600 of goods. Not only do I have to keep track of that, but I have to get starbuck's tax id.

(of course thats assuming I'm having my company write it off, which I would)

eekfuh··on [dead]
It's to steer the submarine that the "home computer" is in.
eekfuh··on The HTML5 Experiments of Hakim El Hattab
Seems to be more like the Canvas experiments of Hakim.
eekfuh··on This is the best "we're hiring" image ever drawn
I wanted to apply, except they used the term baller in the job description.
eekfuh··on Why Google should lower Gmail's attachment limit.
Stop whining.
eekfuh··on GazeHawk (YC S10) Does Eyetracking With Web Cams
The product portion I want to use is a web-based interface, however it can only be used for internal network use and we wouldn't be allowed to make it internet-accessible.

I think we should be able to webcam/monitor our users here, have an app gather data on our computers, then have our computers (which can access the internet AND our internal network appliance's interface which we are testing) upload the data to your website to be parsed.

eekfuh··on GazeHawk (YC S10) Does Eyetracking With Web Cams
Very cool software and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to use this, HOWEVER we make a hardware appliance and we can't let people on it (via web access) to do testing. I'd rather pay like $5k for a webcam and a software package to install and run tests with my customers (which are NOT normal web users, they are security experts) to see how they view our interface.

eekfuh··on Employees Challenged To Crack Facebook Security, Succeed
Isn't this common? They are employees of the company so they should understand different weaknesses of the code and should be able to exploit them.

When I was working at (huge tech company with 8000 employees) we did the very same thing and we were able to get full root-access to our SAAS servers from finding our .svn folders to get a full dump of the system code, then grepping through that code to find system level exec commands.

I would be more surprised if they (facebook or the old company I worked for) had found nothing.
