I cannot believe that you actually think this was warranted. How does having a burqa indicate that you are a possible terrorist. Points of view like this one is what lets custom agents and TSA high school dropouts drive this security theatre every single day.

I travel all the time, and our security system does not protect anything but our peace of mind.

I just want to say great job man. I have been doing a lot of traveling lately (for iOS development) and I play this a lot on the plane. As a fellow iOS developer, good job.

That is an option, but much more difficult if he is planning on selling his app.

I started up a small development shop about a year ago with a couple other people from Hacker News, and we have done a lot of iPhone development. I would be glad to talk with you about your project. We deliver quality work, and charge much less than some of the more well known shops.

We just launched two iPad apps this past weekend, and they are in the top 100 in both overall categories (free and paid). And they are a #2 and #3 app in their respective subcategory. Send me an email (its in my comment).

same here. Use this every day.

My most common applications in my workflow are Coda, Terminal, and Fireworks for the occasional graphics editing. Also, XCode is a big player when I'm doing my iPhone development.

If you get an invite, make sure you check out the AccuWeather weather app. I made it, so please give me any feedback you may have.

partially above the fold? What resolution are you using that an image 400 pixels down on the page is partially below the fold?

I think the best way to learn this is to get into a framework and start hacking with it. Go through the tutorials and re-develop what was done in them. Then develop a small appliaction just for you. Maybe it could catalogue movies if your a collector, or document your exercises etc. Just something that would be useful and a learning experience.

Then do the same thing with Javascript. Look at some tutorials. Re-develop them. Experiment with cool animations, ajax requests, things like that.

The frameworks I recommend are Kohana (www.kohanaphp.com) and CodeIgniter(www.codeigniter.com) for PHP.

And like most other people, I LOVE jQuery. (www.jquery). Feel free to email me (its in my profile) if you have any questions. I'd be glad to help.

You definitely WILL be surprised at how fast you can pick these frameworks up.

These are times when I wish i could "bury" articles on hacker news

Have you ever priced out a white board to fit that space? An actual whiteboard that size would be much pricier. This actually doesn't seem too unreasonable.

Yea this line also baffled me. I love safari and I use it for my development, but I didn't understand his reasoning behind this.

I would also be interested. Shoot an email to rah5051 at gmail

I almost did something similar to this during this past year. Perhaps we could have a chat when school starts up again in the fall and I could tell you about some of the things I found.

One of the main problems behind getting the universities to switch is because of how heavily invested they are in a product. For example, I go to Penn State and they have a whole team around supporting our system (Angel). Penn State even modifies the code base to support our school specifically so they would never switch over after all the time/money invested. But good luck, I never even go on Angel anymore because I hate it so much.

256mb ram and a 600 MHz processor. Also, improved battery. Old one had 128mb ram and 412MHz processor.

I liked this design. I've been looking for a designer for some work. Could we get in touch? Email is in my profile

I would definitely pay to use twitter although I do not think that would be a good idea for them

I really like this as well as Kohana. I have been using Kohana lately for php5 benefits

why did you submit this to hacker news?

???

First thing that hit me was "wow great design." I actually am looking for a designer for my next project. Could I contact you/metalabs about it?

this was on the front page about 2 or 3 days ago

Anyone trying to sell a SaaS is essentially selling graphic design. The interface is what makes or breaks many applications.

User interface design is a skill of artistry. It takes a certain talent in order to do that.

Yea it definitely will. Just follow the tutorials on slicehost's website and you will be fine. Start off with ubuntu 8.04 imo

20 here and I like the community here because people of all different ages can talk without any form of disrespect or judgement based on age, experience, or any other factor.

That was a typo. I definitely meant to say linode.

Ive tried both and so far I find slicehost to be much more efficient especially because I dont need to install a 64 bit operating system.
