Limes102··on ICO.gov (click on continue without agreeing to cookies)
I don't think it's a good thing. Many websites rely on advertising to allow them to even exist
Limes102··on ICO.gov (click on continue without agreeing to cookies)
Okay, so I don't really use cookies ever, the only one I use is for the PHP Session Identifier. Is this going to be allowed? D:

I'm guessing that it will be because ICO is allowed..

Limes102··on Glitch In iTunes Activation Servers
It broke mine... I used redsn0w to get it going again and then tried the iTunes update again. Seemed to work for me!
Limes102··on IPhones and 3G iPads log your location in an unencrypted file on the device
When I read this I simply had to try it out for myself and quickly plot the data. It's a nice reminder of the places I have been over the past year.

I don't mind that Apple have saved the information on the device, what I mind is that they haven't given us an option to clear the logs or to actually visualise the data directly from the phone.

Limes102··on PhpMyAdmin 3.3.10 is released
phpMyAdmin needs a lot of work in my opinion, it feels incredibly outdated. SequelPro is probably the best MySQL front end I have ever used.
Limes102··on Ask HN: What's the best way to do COMET in PHP?
I've used PHP for Comet a couple of times and I've never had a massive problem with it.

The only thing I found was that the PHP sessions tended to lock the connection, so if you tried to change page it would never load. session_close() seemed to fix this pretty well.

Also, It's worth setting a time out because scripts often keep running in the background if the connection isn't closed properly.

Limes102··on Ask HN: What to think of the end of unlimited broadband internet?
I have a 50GB cap on the ISP I am with, and I cannot fault them for it as it uses BT's network.

It's sort of fortunate that my phone line is 40 years old because if it wasn't, I would download a lot more than 50GB/month

Limes102··on Ask HN: Do you Hate or Love your competition?
When you meet self actualisation, you get bored. I think it's always good to have something to keep you on your feet.
Limes102··on Show HN: GetToLike.me - a place to meet people with similar interests
I think showing only the people who have a mutual interest is good, but I disagree with hiding the rest of their interests with people who are actually able to view their profile.

Perhaps think of it more the 'Like' button on Facebook

Limes102··on [dead]
It's cool but obviously fake. Why the hell would a video signal be coming out of the headset port?
Limes102··on My fellow geeks, we need to have a talk.
Meh. It isn't actually that important at the end of day.

There are the geeks that help out and the geeks that criticise.

Limes102··on Stack Exchange CEO: "Nobody Wants To Find Yahoo Answers In Their Search Results"
I think Yahoo Answers are quite useful. I hate Experts Exchange, however.
Limes102··on Google: Hide sites to find more of what you want
I have been waiting for this so I can hide Experts Exchange.
Limes102··on Can you use PHP without frameworks nowadays?
I never use frameworks... I don't really see the point. Most of the time it's just a few SQL queries and a few if statements.
