> but if you must then the correct way to do it is to say what his views are

I did. Read the end of the sentence you quoted. It's a snapshot of his hateful views. There is, however, breadth and depth to his hate. Which is I directed you a few good keywords to search his own words in context to get a taste.

I'd say take my word for it and don't waste your time. But it's your time, bud.

I'd say read some history on effective non-carceral and non-violent ways to deal with hateful people: shunning and shaming is the best option. It lets hateful people live their lives in a bubble if that's what they want. But also gives them a chance to address their abhorrent views, make amends, and become part of a large community again.

But you have to understand history to know that.

I disagree. Someone with these views on humanity should not have a platform. They should be shamed and shunned. They should not be an "influencer" (however minor).

Look, I grew up in a cult too (the Baptist flavor). I also grew out of it mostly unscathed. He's a grown-ass man that still believes these truly heinous things. He has not grown as person. Or addressed his ignorance. And he's never retracted or apologized for his hateful views.

Which... it's his right. He can be an asshole. But people should be informed and, like I said, he should be shunned and shamed.

Search his blog for his views on abortion, contraception, women, and gay people. You don't even need to look at archived versions. He keeps that shit up.

He's a freaky little neo-nazi religious nut who views women as owned by the man of the house and hates gays.

But he plays "normal guy" or "quirky nerd" on youtube.

Correct.

Absolute nonsense.

>> "Hard to justify going to the trouble of encrypting your backup."

Huh? If you're "encrypting" using SHA, I've got some bad news about those backups of yours.

It exists. Pick up a device that support ARM64 Windows 10 and it has compatibility with x86 programs (via an emulation layer like WoW64).

This announcement is for Firefox for ARM64 Windows 10 (without using the emulation layer). So, faster, uses less battery, etc.

I didn’t say “not useful”. Clearly they’re useful. I said non-EV certs “aren’t as useful”. Which is just a fact (as evidenced by the Smart Screen “reputation boost” that EV certs get).

I already read that blog post. I’m person that linked to it in the forum post.

EV Code signing certs get you immediate trust with Smart Screen. Recently discussed over on the bootstrapped forum: http://discuss.bootstrapped.fm/t/code-signing-certificate-re...

Regular, non-EV code-signing certs, aren't as useful as they were when Vista / Windows 7 were the main Windows OSes.

I don't think you actually understand cracking if you're claiming your protection is uncrackable. You're certainly not the first licensing company to sell that lie, if that is what you're claiming. I can explain why what you just said is easily crackable if you'd like.

Spoiler alert: nothing can stop cracking (but that's not the point of licensing): https://wyday.com/limelm/features/why/

But I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt and say you didn't actually understand the question.

(Also, I'm certain I'll be downvoted for commenting on a competitor's product, but licensing companies that lie to customers is a particular pet peeve of mine).

Exactly. A bad workman always blames his tools.

Fantastic find, crescentfresh! Changing "i" to "j" in the inner loop fixes the problem on IE6.

Now we just have to wait for jQuery 1.6.1.

This release causes Internet Explorer 6 to freeze just by including the script in the page. This is a non-starter. I'll submit a bug report about it later today, just thought you guys would like to know in the meantime.

EDIT: It looks like the freeze on IE6 might be caused by FancyBox (http://fancybox.net/ ). Though it didn't freeze with any previous version of jQuery.

Yes, quite a bit more than 50K/year, but we're only a web startup in the sense that we sell all our products via the web. Our 2 main products are an updater suite for Windows apps (http://wyday.com/wybuild/ ) and licensing & online activation for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X apps (http://wyday.com/limelm/ ).

In short, we make development tools.

>> You're kidding, right?

Nope, they're just misinformed; they read the roadmap incorrectly. What the Firefox devs mean is a 64-bit version of Firefox (i.e. an x64 process). Right now Firefox runs perfectly on both Windows 7 and 64-bit versions of Windows.

Funny thing is, if Microsoft had used a directory without a space I wonder how many apps would exists where they didn't handle path names with spaces correctly.

What would the computing world look like if every program were as temperamental about spaces in filenames as, say, MATLAB (or any CAD software).

"No mom, you can't use spaces in the filename. Why? Because developers are annoyed by how normal people think."

Favorite moment was @43:30:

Steve Huffman: "If you've been to reddit's front page, pro-weed is the least inflamatory thing. It's a cesspool of kneejerk reaction headlines."

This is exactly right - licensing exists for enforcing contracts. Weak systems (e.g. serial-only licensing) results in actual lost sales. It's not always malicious thieving - mostly it's just inefficient bureaucracy.

This means you should either protect your software using hardware dongles, or online activation. Hardware dongles are a pain in the ass and will increase your support costs, but some companies prefer them.

Nadam, if you're looking for licensing and online activation we're the makers of LimeLM (http://wyday.com/limelm/ ). Or you can build your own. But we do offer entrepreneur friendly pricing.

Our company makes wyBuild: http://wyday.com/wybuild/ . It comes in 3 parts (wyBuild, wyUpdate, and the AutomaticUpdater control). wyBuild makes the tiny update patches, wyUpdate is the open source updater (BSD licensed) and the AutomaticUpdater control is the open source control that adds the ability for fully automatic updates (LGPL Licensed).

Here are the links to the source code, for those interested:

wyUpdate: http://wyday.com/wyupdate/

AutomaticUpdater: http://code.google.com/p/automatic-updater/ (instructions: http://wyday.com/wybuild/help/automatic-updates/ )

Exactly. The hosting didn't start off that slow. When we first purchased the server slice the average page load time was about 1.5 seconds. But as time went on, the hosting company overstocked their servers and load times inflated horribly.

By the way, this crap hosting company is MediaTemple.

Yes, speed matters. This is just anecdotal evidence, so feel free to dismiss it:

We recently switched hosting companies and our site load speed went from an average of 10 seconds to the new server speed of just under 1 second.

Our monthly revenue instantly doubled. People stayed on our site longer, they learned more about our products, and thus were more willing to shell over their hard earned cash.
