The ISPs also don't treat it as a proper utility. If I don't use it for a month, I still have to pay my full monthly rate.

And the dairy board. And the turkey board. And the beer store.

If you're looking for a more DIY solution, I found a tool call iOS Beta Builder helpful. It prepares the XML manifest and creates a nice HTML page, so your testers just need to click to install. (you need their UDIDs first). The process is: - "build and archive" from Xcode - save the ipa - drag it into beta builder - publish output to a your website - send URL to beta testers

The browser defaults for outline are ugly, that's why so many people set outline to none. So, some visual examples that show sexy outline stylings seems a more reasonable approach.

The author dismisses all aesthetic concerns and loses credibility with the aesthetically minded people he's trying to convince.

It's interesting that in North America it was an intentional decision to make land and mobile #'s indistinguishable, yet we are now supposed to keep track. I'm probably a bit sloppy with my contact list, but still people forward calls to their mobiles or transfer numbers. I've definitely sent SMS messages to the wrong place before - also because people change their mobile numbers frequently.

The killer feature is that you know when the message was opened. With SMS/text-messaging you have no idea if it was received by anyone - since it might have been sent to a landline #.

I'm also surprised that the funding source requirement somehow makes this discrimination arms-reach and hence legal. If i was a millionaire homophobe, could i create a fund for positions that specified "no gays"?

On page 2 of the free PDF it clearly states "public domain".

True. And speaking of GoDaddy a client recently mentioned that they registered two new domains with godaddy. Total cost (with all the ridiculous, unneeded extras): $138

Misleading and intentionally confusing UX can be very good for business.

Are you opposed to a lightweight framework? Or a templating tool like Smarty? Ideally, a good framework would make a cleaner, more coherent codebase. If you restrict frameworks, I have a feeling most devs will just roll their own.

PHP4 end of life was at the end of 2007. I don't think you'd lose many users for requiring php5. (sorry couldn't reply to the correct nested comment)

And the one-touch purchase button has never been more terrifying.

I've heard about easy Wordpress upgrades, but never experienced them. Here's my cheatsheet:

  * download latest.tar.gz and rename
  * untar
  * mv wordpress ../wordpress-x.x.x
  * cd wordpress-x.x.x
  * cp wordpress-current/.htaccess . [only if wordpress is in site root]
  * cp -r wordpress-current/uploads/ .
  * cp -r wordpress-current/themes/ .
  * cp wordpress-current/wp-config.php .

What am I doing wrong?

(Also moving from a development install to production is also ugly. I have to search and replace hostnames in the mysqldump of the database!)

I'm sure the algorithms for time stretching and the effects have been tweaked over the years, but the core principles of snipping wav files, sequencing on multiple tracks and adding parametrized effects are the same.

I'd love to see someone reconstruct some other tracks (like Public Enemy's "Fear of a Black Planet", 1989) with readily available consumer software like Apple's GarageBand.

I'm sure it's a great service, but it's overkill.

Still looking for something as simple as a shared webhosting (mail and webserver work "out of the box", easy control panel) but with better performance.

There's a business idea here for someone.

Isn't this just a VPS?

"Cloud Servers" = 256MB for ~$10/month which is a great price - but it looks like a plain old VPS. I could set it up, but there's no "friendly" way to administer it.

"Managed Servers" are starting at $100/month, which is way too expensive.

What is your company? (I tried your domain, and got an empty page.)

Summary: We have no data about this problem, nor our proposed solution.

"In most cases, however, users will appreciate getting clear-text feedback as they enter passwords."

If Nielsen had a mockup or something that we could all clearly see was a huge improvement, then sure, let's do it. A UI change this drastic should have an order of magnitude gain to it. Otherwise, move on to bigger fish.

At least Canadians are starting to realize that "the future is here, just not evenly distributed". (W.Gibson)

You might like the more rational grid approach to web design. Once you familiarize yourself with it, you'll start seeing it everywhere... A good place to start is: http://960.gs/

How do people get torrent files? From the web. So, if Apple is going to be consistent, a web browser shouldn't be allowed on the iphone. Silly.

(And of course, you could always get around this by using a bittorrent client that can be controlled with a web browser.)

um, this has been going on for a while. you post a link on twitter, and the google crawler comes by almost immediately.

As others have said, I find Settlers to be all about the initial positioning of your pieces. Choose wrong and it's a slow grind to an inevitable defeat.
