I was sort-of glad that Wealthsimple bought SimpleTax (Canada) before Intuit had a chance to swallow them. Hopefully that one works out.

That is false.

"To posh to push", was also a saying a generation ago.

I did not expect this one! How fast was "fast"? 55ppm seems... reasonable? for ~$1000 CAD https://store.hp.com/CanadaStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=K0Q15...

This is exactly what I do too, but unfortunately I don't think you can get the tablet plan any more without attaching it to a "real" plan.

That's very US centric though. It's already much higher where I live (Vancouver, just minutes from the US border): $1.70 CAD/L ~= $4.80 USD/gal. I don't think $6 is far off at all in many locations.

That's the first one I thought of too. :)

(Oh my, I recall reading that roughly in real time when Colin wrote it, can't believe that was 2007 already!)

It's in Settings.

I had been using that as an excuse too :) but I've made some progress with Mango (may be available via a local library).

Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Metallica... 90s were still pretty hot on guitars.

(Maybe less so by the late 90s, so maybe I'm a few years old than you :)

Why a small roof?

Because every hour after release that it's not-yet-cracked equates to a substantial improvement in lifetime revenue.

They're not stupid, they know it's getting cracked. It's just a play for more time.

Pretty soon, the only end-customer things in cities will be coffee, restaurants, bars, yoga, and gyms. And Apple stores, apparently.

It seems nostalgically sad, but there's also going to be lots of space for doing "something" locally. I don't know what though.

There's another party! And yeah, she's pretty centrist too.

It seems like it'd be pretty easy to have do "something" on a server, and then just mail you the package you need to submit to Apple, given a few extra bits of data.

To the point where I've been thinking about doing it for a long while, but clearly someone was way ahead of me. :)

Ah, I've loved this for ever! I didn't know other people did that too. :)

Stealing your K-kill idea too!

I really wish there was "ac"/"ic" (or something) for comments. Especially for a gq motion it would be really helpful.

I expect that, monetarily, things worked out just fine for him.

Good lord, can we petition them to write the petition in English first?

Puffy did Montessori and he's doing pretty damn well for himself!

Jay-Z started in the projects and didn't finish high school, and he's doing even better!

Holy crap, I know where I'm sending my kids!

Nice! I was swearing at Wikipedia's animation of a flipflop a couple days ago. Downloading and fiddling with 'convert' was substantially more annoying.

edit: Heh, and the url? http://google.com/+1button

Confusing broken URL cracking code everywhere. ;)

Bookmark-ish functionality I guess?

Maybe you could pretend it's a microtransaction gift to the receiver, which it probably is in some vague way.

I like it. Seems unintrusive and simple, but useful en-masse.

(-1 the mouseover animated highlight glossy thing though.)

Fair enough, I could believe that he did not know the address of SCEA. Of its existence? Someone who's as deeply involved with consumer tech devices and software as he is, it seems pretty unlikely that he would not have encountered them.

For example, searching for "sony playstation" and visiting the first link takes you to http://us.playstation.com/ which is an SCEA website as listed at the bottom of the page.

That's why I was asking. If it means something more like "I've never dealt with them personally or contractually", well then sure. But "never had knowledge of their existence" seems a stretch. Anyway, of course IANAL, etc.

It seems like a nice enough idea, but uh, "App Pirater"? I think a rename might be required.

What does the declaration of "unawareness" that Hotz filed mean (near the end)?

Is that some sort of narrow legal definition, or is he actually declaring that he's really never heard of SCEA and didn't know they were located in California?

That seems highly unbelievable and a bit ridiculous.

DAMN LIBC DEVS BROKE MY ABUTTING memcpyS!

;)

Or maybe it would be as popular as gopher, and we'd all still be ftp'ing shit around.

Kernighan & Pike:

    The ANSI C standard defines two functions: memcpy, which
    is fast but might overwrite memory if source and destination
    overlap; and memmove, which might be slower but will always
    be correct. The burden of choosing correctness over speed
    should not be placed upon the programmer; there should be
    only one function. Pretend there is, and always use memmove.

Shucks.

Also, static linking.
