- Use the most official title: 'Yes Trooper', 'Thank you sheriff', etc.
- Be honest, authentic and remorseful, but not apologetic. (I don't agree with #1)
- Be well groomed. After I got my beard and hair cut, I stopped getting tickets. I've gotten 8 consecutive warnings, most verbal. Before getting 'cleaned up', I got 9 tickets and 1 warning.
- Have a woman in the car. Doesn't have to say anything, just smile and reply to questions.
- Pull over, turn on the dome light and leave your hands on the steering wheel. I lower my window when a flashlight hits me, and only get paper work in response to a command.
My streak of warnings still dumbfounds me. I even got pulled over twice after a superbowl for a tail light and got a verbal warning twice.
Arq is a good backup-to-cloud service if you're conscious of where your data goes(S3) and who has the keys(Only you).
They're both indie programmers out of Boston too, which may be some of my bias, but check'm out!
I remember the day I realized that I could have windows and play heretic all day, or install linux and tinker all day. Linux quickly won.
The biggest skill I learned from linux is to never expect things to work, and to expect the internet to fix things. My round trip time from not working to google and back to working is by far my most valuable asset as an engineer.
And still, almost every day I leave work I think "God that was awesome!". I hope that never goes away.
Oh, and so +1 for 2 hour nr epic SC battles! Except it was under wine, and man did it quake!
I think differently if I'm looking at a page vs, navigating, and I continue to fail to use scroll-to-navigate. If 2 fingers did forward back I would love it. The current method overloads an abstraction to the point I can't trust it.
The fact that chrome and firefox duplicated it is disappointing.

"Emissions at the operating frequency were as high as 60 dB over the airplane equipment emission limits, but the other emissions were generally within airplane equipment emission limits. One concern about these other emissions from cell phones is that they may interfere with the operation of an airplane communication or navigation system if the levels are high enough."
I would agree that the recommendations are strongly based in paranoia, and I'm completely ok with that. Being based on inertia, and policy vs the latest science is something no one wants to see, but it will take a lot more than a NYT pseudo-test to change it.

Anyways, seems funny to see them innocently tip toeing around this 'brand problem' they're having without acknowledging they basically had a softcore-porn logo for their first year or so.
protip: When life sucks act perfectly.
The guy had his baby killed and these guys ream out the way he responds. He was working on making something that people enjoyed. Hearing people on the sideline, put that much effort into making him wrong strictly pisses me off.
There are risks in paying an indie for a game before he delivers - wow that's a shocking conclusion.
Feel bad for the developer, that's a kick to the nuts I hope I never experience.

Great demo video about 1:30 in to the launch video.
I'm also very concerned about the no 'restore' option from gmail. What good are google backups if you can't initiate them?
I'm an independent app developer. I picked a name for my app that I've been using through beta and just discovered that the name of my app is in name of another software company. If Foobar was my app name, they are Foobar software. We are in a different field altogether - I'm a consumer mac app, they're an IT / business integration tool set. It's a pretty generic word.I performed a search...
Neat, but pretty worthless in the domain explained though isn't it? Exposing re-compressing proxies? So if your float for re-compression matches their float for re-compression, you'll see a slightly blurry word!
It's the same as people calling tomatoes vegetables - technically wrong and no one cares.
