ten7··on Ask HN: What code editor do you use?
Dare I say Coda? Um, I guess I just did...
ten7··on Teambox - open source project management tool
I have to agree with you. Although BC's new "most active discussions" at the top of Messages does help.
ten7··on Have an online store? What you need to do by July 1.
Oops, sorry. Thanks for editing the title
ten7··on Have an online store? What you need to do by July 1.
Not sure that I totally agree with the rationale here, what's the consensus here at HN?
ten7··on Ask HN: Mac users, do you get AppleCare for your Macs?
One more thing, don't buy the AppleCare from Apple: there is actually a company in CA that sells the real deal AppleCare for less than Apple does by miles. See here: http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/featured.cgi... (they are an actual company that I've bought all my AppleCare from and it works)

You can also have the person in the Apple Store match the AppleCare price that they have if you're sceptical: I've done that without a problem as well.

ten7··on Ask HN: Mac users, do you get AppleCare for your Macs?
Yes, totally get the AppleCare -- I've had to replace a main board in a PowerBook one too many times, and the total cost (without Applecare) would have been more than just buying a new one.

You should also get yourself an AmEx card and buy the hardware on it -- it extends the manufacturer's warranty (whether you get the AppleCare or not) by 1 year, i.e. with AppleCare you get 4 yrs total, without it you get 2 yrs total. And it doesn't cost anything extra. (Here'a a post I wrote about it a while ago: http://ten7i.com/content/how-buy-mac-pro-right-way-and-save-...)

ten7··on Dan Grigsby (Mobile Orchard) abandoning iPhone development
If this goes against his principles, then why did he start the site in the first place? It's hard for me to believe that the "only native apps" reason is what pushed it passed the line of being principle. I smell something else...
ten7··on News.YC Greasemonkey script to hide iPad articles
Does the script hide this item from the front page as well? Hmmmm....
ten7··on Ask HN: When will PS3 be available again?

I mostly want to get back into gaming and spend some time with my teenage son online. At first he will kick my ass, but I have to believe that I'll eventually get up to speed. And if I don't it'll be something he can laugh at me about. I mean, he needs a 1up on me too, right?
ten7··on [dead]
Um, sad to say that I haven't played video games in 10 years and am now getting back into it! Most of my friends ahem aren't gamers.
ten7··on Chatroulette + GeoIP + screengrabs = Chatroulette Map
Finally, a constructive use of Geo Location!
ten7··on Drupal Sucks
Awesome. I tried finding some numbers myself, but was disappointed in the lack of data. Would be glad to see what you find...
ten7··on Drupal Sucks
Majority? Where's your proof? I think "majority" is just conjecture... show me some numbers and I'll believe you.

It boggles my mind that NO ONE has mentioned that a CORE module of Drupal that is simply not switched on by default is Syslog. So what if the CMS logs to the database by default? If you know better, switch that off (you have been able to do this since V6 started using dblog and NOT Watchdog) and log using Syslog. Come on people, wake up!

Check these: * http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/syslog * http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/dblog

ten7··on Can you trust 37signals with your password?
You said "37signals stores passwords in plain text in their database"

You have no way of knowing how they store their data! And saying something like this is ludicrous and insulting, IMHo. Sure, they emailed you your password. That doesn't mean the password was stored in "plain text"... it just means it was stored. Yes, a one way hash would be better, but they stored the password. That doesn't mean the password was not encrypted when it was stored. It also does not mean the encryption key and the storage database are not on different servers -- which would be harder to crack, since it would mean two servers would have to be compromised. There is the possibility that they used two way encryption. That exists, you know...

Just sayin'...

blink tag anyone?
ten7··on Wired magazine is 56.2% fullpage ads
First time poster - didn't realize it was a big deal. Noted for future posts. Thanks.
ten7··on Wired magazine is 56.2% fullpage ads
Wow, I had no idea. I guess it seemed to me that at least in the past I was reading content that I could find easily. Now it just seems like every other page is an ad and I have to struggle to find the articles.

You're right, I went a little comma happy there. I fixed the sentence to read a little better.
