Now I can Reddit at work and everyone will just think that I'm on git! But in my browser?

It does tell you, but you can "anonymize" yourself by selecting an option they have. Then I think you can only see it if you are a paying member. I'm sure there are other ways to find out who viewed you but I don't know of them/don't use it enough to warrant it.

It's still over the internet, right?

That sucks to have happened to you, but that sentence made me lol.

I've been at more than one place that does this (one just had a sys admin be the one to do it, after it was user tested) :(

Both were pretty entry level positions.

There was a good xkcd what-if on this a while back. http://what-if.xkcd.com/38/

This is something that played a big role in me going from Android to iPhone. I was big into Android since the HTC G1, and just liked the feel of it over iOS. But if I wanted the latest release of android (without flashing the device, and usually compromising some feature) I had to buy a new phone, extend my contract, etc. I really like how Apple supports their past phones with updates for years after their release.

Great work! This will be helpful to me and I'm sure a lot of others.

This has been a growing trend in many arenas and stadiums in Florida too. I've seen them in at least 5 different venues across the state now.

It sounds like they built Marvin from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

This has been true with most sports or competition based activities that I have done too. There's nothing quite like the nerves you get just before a match starts

I'm not sure they can test for alcohol since it is federally legal (I know that most places would test for on the job incidents however. I'm meaning it in a "drug test" style screening). Aside from that, I'm not sure how long you can find traces of it in your system. I wouldn't guess it to be longer than 48 hours.

EDIT: parentheses content.

the extra hour would consist of you driving to a terminal. why couldn't you use the toilet at the station? pr perhaps stop at a gas station along the way to/from the terminal?

In my experiences, it seems that contactless payments just never caught on in the US and I'm not sure why. I remember in the early 00's when mobil (the gas station) had their speedpass system that was a key fob (linked to your credit card) that you waved in front of the pump. I'm not sure how long they lasted but I haven't seen any for quite some time now. Similarly, I had an american express card some years ago, that had an rfid (I think) chip build into the card to wave in front of a card reader rather than swipe. If I remember correctly, I was able to successfully use that once, as most machines would fail. I've also tried (and usually failed) to use the Google Wallet version from my Nexus 4, when it came out.

Come to think of it, of all the people I know with a new iPhone, exactly 0 of them have their cards imported to apple pay. I've also never witnessed anyone else using it at a store. From my memory, whenever I'd try and use these systmems, the store clerks would always say "it's the coolest thing they've seen" (aside from speedpass, since I was alone at the pump). However, they seemed to take more time than to just swipe my card and be done with it. Maybe that's why?

Edit: Also in my area (south florida), outside of major retailers the support for these is atrocious. Most places only have the small telephone line based readers to print and sign.

My school (university) was all Windows. Plus, if you were in the CS programs, you had free access to the Microsoft Developer Network which gave us free product keys to XP, Vista, and Windows 7; along with a host of other MS products. On top of that, copies of Windows and MS Office were subsidized for students. Allowing anyone attending the school to purchase copies for under $10.

I do both front and back-end development (usually back-end heavy web applications) and am looking for a new gig in LA after recently relocating.

Any of my more "important" relationships are maintained via frequent text messages and less frequent phone calls. For me, Facebook is rarely used for keeping in touch and mostly for its group features. Otherwise its just old acquaintances from yesteryear who'd I don't necessarily care to keep up with anyway. In fact, if it wasn't so painstakingly tedious to delete large numbers of "friends" on there i'd probably only have about 50.

No love for Sansa though

I have a friend in Denmark who told me he buys a danish beer from Germany and has it shipped to him in Denmark, because its cheaper. I thought that was pretty interesting in itself.

I've been doing this all of September, thus far, but I've been trying to do it completely sober. And although I have had a couple of beers (for instance I had one on NFL opening weekend) they have only been one for the night, and usually with some friends in a celebration. I have been feeling great after days that I would normally go drink. On a Saturday morning I'll wake up full of energy and ready for a bike ride or a run. However on a typical weeknight, when I don't usually drink anyway, I haven't noticed much of a difference. One thing I have noticed is that, that one beer has more of an effect the next day than I thought it did though!

Ahh thank you! Now i can watch it on my laptop, and it doesn't cut out every 2 minutes

I'm still pretty into it, although I'm refereeing now on the national tournament series. Its far too expensive and time consuming to travel all around the country and play these events plus practicing each weekend (it's very competitive now, gone are the days of drinking at night and playing hungover). So reffing still allows me to travel to these events and see all of my friends still in the sport (now mostly other ref's or working in the industry at various companies). Plus I get to travel around the country with a group of good friends and still come home with a couple bucks, or at the very least a free vacation!

The big American league now is the Paintball Sports Promotion (PSP) league, the flagship being 5v5 Race-To-7 format. Think very fast paced games and the first one to win 7 times wins the match.

I believe that the NPPL is taking a hiatus for a year, if they come back at all, they've barely been able to stay afloat for a while now. From what I've heard it's been due to poor financial decision making on the leagues behalf.

As far as the markers go, most of them are now based off of the Matrix or Intimidator designs from your link, with a couple using the Hollowpoint design (at least in the tournament series). They've also begun limiting the Rate of Fire in the PSP, being 10.2 shots per second in the professional divisions to remove any advantages of higher prices markers.

All in all its still a pretty cool sport. I've met tons of great people through it, and many life-long friends. Hopefully it gets back to where it used to be in the early 00's, it's definitely been growing the last few years after the hit it took around 2008.

Snapchat has always been more about the one-to-one messaging. Yes you can do one-to-many, but it still gives a more personal feel than a many-to-many group message. You had to click on that person to send it to them, you actively thought about them no matter how instantaneously.

I use Snapchat for both very close friends and acquaintances too, I can send both inside jokes or just a simple hello to someone I haven't spoken to in a while. I don't feel an obligation to respond to snapchats and don't feel ignored when someone doesn't respond to mine, how I would via text, or facebook messenger.

I personally never use facebook messenger. I've had it turned off for a couple of years now and only use it on the rare occasion that a friend changed phone numbers (friends moving abroad mostly) and even that is just to get their new number so I can use whatsapp or text messaging. As for whatsapp I strictly use it for large, on going, group messages or friends in other countries. But I guess everyone has their own use-cases.

I still don't have it and I'm in the US :(

Namecheap recently redesigned. It looks much more modern now but it still looks like the same template everyone else uses.

What is the other person deserve to get?

You still gain all of the experience of having helped start a company. you gained SOME monetary compensation. In the end, one person made the better decision (whether or not they knew it), and is being rewarded as such.

My dreams have come true. (Commenting to save for later)

Nice read, pretty entertaining round up. I like the use case lists (I think they added most of my entertainment), and overall tone of the article.

It's such a great feeling. My favorite part is how, no matter how long you've been doing it for, you still get that feeling time and time again.
