  1. ACK - because it's better than grep on Ask Slashdot: What Software Can You Not Live Without? · · Score: 1

    It's one of the first things I install. http://beyondgrep.com/

    Not affiliated, just a fan.

  2. Re: Can someone please explain the law (US)? on Google Fixes Credit Card Security Hole, But Snubs Discoverer · · Score: 1

    I think you mean a meta tag with "noindex".

  3. no documentation?! on New Analyst Report Calls Agile a Scam, Says It's An Easy Out For Lazy Devs · · Score: 1

    If you're not documenting your code and providing adequate documentation on your feature then you're a lazy programmer regardless of the process your team uses.

  4. PicAxe on Ask Slashdot: Best EEPROM Programmer For a Hobbyists? · · Score: 0

    Check out the picaxe line of microcontrollers. Super easy to learn and cheap.

    Oh wait, it's not April....

  6. No IE6 support = lost revenue for ecom companies on Why You Can't Pry IE6 Out of Their Cold, Dead Hands · · Score: 1

    As a senior web developer for an ecommerce company, we're required to ensure anything we develop will work with IE6. While < 10% of our visitors use IE6, those are still potential customers. Should they upgrade? Of course they should. Do I like having to test and tweak my code to ensure IE6 compatibility? It's definitely not the highlight of my day... but if it helps the company in the long run then it's worth a little extra hassle on my part.

  7. Re:this has been the case all along on Is Hushmail Still Safe? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The problem always arises when another human is involved.

    Don't humans write the software?

  8. getfirefox.com still links to FF2 on Firefox Download Day To Start At 1 p.m. EST · · Score: 1

    Even though it's 1 hour 40 min past when it was supposed to go live, the main link on www.getfirefox.com still links too 2.0.0.14 even though the image says Firefox 3. WTF?

  9. Views on Keeping Customer From Accessing My Database? · · Score: 1

    You could find out exactly what the user needs and set up views accordingly and give them permission to only access those views

  10. Re:I got the, er, "early adopter" version. on Vista Service Pack One Almost Here · · Score: 1

    the perfectly sensible option of going to the lovely homely Penguin tavern next door where they're serving wholesome, nutritious and filling meals for nothing, and with free beer.

    The only thing they're not telling you is that you have to figure out which ingredients taste the best and then you have to brew the beer yourself.
