  1. Backsaver chair on Aeron Chairs As Stupidity Barometers · · Score: 1
    Here's one that looks truly comfortable.

    Funny you linked to my home office chair, the nice leather one at the top of the Backsaver web page. It was the chair Judge Ito used for the OJ trial.

    Anyway, I have had the chair for 6 years now and it looks as good as when I first bought it. You just can't beat leather for an office chair. Very comfortable too. The leather breathes, so it doesn't get hot either. The armrests are wood, so you can stain them if they get a nick.

    It was around $800 at the time. There were cheaper chairs, but few would have lasted 6 years and still remain in good shape.

  2. They randomized the password in the binary? on Interbase Backdoor, Secret for Six Years, Revealed in Source · · Score: 1

    If all they did to fix this was randomize the password in the binary, and the password is stored at the same offset in every binary, isn't it trivial to find the randomized password by reading the binary file?

    Last I looked most executables were readable by world.

  3. My book is online and it is selling well on Free Books Online · · Score: 2

    I wrote a PostgreSQL book at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/awbook.html. The book is online, but I sold 2,155 print copies in the first month. Clearly having it online has helped book sales.

  4. Re:PostgreSQL Beta on Open Source Databases Revisited · · Score: 2

    We hope to go beta in the next month, and final around January/February.

  5. Features on What's The Best Cell Phone Calling Plan? · · Score: 1

    I just got an Audiovox CDM-9000 from Verizon. Don't forget features. While it has web/email access, the feature I really love is text paging via email. It beeps when I receive a text page.

    I can edit my .forward file to send all my email to my cellphone as a text page. I only get 120 characters, but that is enough.
