passpack.com accounts can share passwords between user-accounts. This solves the 'what if Bob gets hit by a bus' problem, (because only Bob knew the passwords to the servers). It seems other services should be able to provide this also.

Yes! Use a password manager. But then also add 'a third password' to it, in the form of a finger print scan via a USB Yubi-Key for two-factor identification. Similarly you can also 'authorize' your specific mobile devices, (which can't accept a YubiKey). It's a hassle, but it is also an investment in security; which is how these things always work.

I used the free version just so I could see acertain app really work (www.flightradar24.com) and was impressed.

I don't know how they do it now, and I never fully understood how the cook went as it was above my pay grade and housing, but I recall super-clean 32 gallon (or so) plastic trash cans w/lids in Saudi Arabia full of beer stuff & yeast as part of the process which I'll abbreviate. Mind you all of that stuff you might have heard about 'compounds for expats' did *not* apply in this place. When/if a room air conditioner conked out, a *serious* condition exists. Since a passer-by walking past the residence would hopefully notice the non-working A/C unit where a window might otherwise be if no one was home, certain folks knew to make calls discretely and illicit an immediate response. Yes, failures and exploding, smelly beer bottles did happen. Oh those were wild and sometimes, too many times, they were stressful times. To my knowledge, none of us from back then have taken up the hobby at home since. Don't think anyone wants to recall the stress, let alone the labor. But I do appreciate it when someone takes such care to cook, along with their skill and techniques. I also like the easily availability of good, cold beer in civilized countries. Wine too! (Don't get me started on how we made wine either, I really, really like store bought wine now!)

But does your process scale? While everyone's requirements may be different, here's another technology so beer drinkers can stress less about ever running out of beer. These were the best images I could easily search for to cite my point. We already *have* the technology people!

XBMC supports UPnP just fine, and if you can manage to run a headless Windows server and playon.tv, then you're golden. UPnP folks. UPnP.

Bono is rich and famous and a leader of his music/concert/marketing industry, and for many people, that's what counts. Whether or not his new digital music format can or cannot be pirated is something that remains to be seen, and is so far away in the future, that you can ignore the rest of his words that the media is propagating today. (And history, regarding piracy in a technical sense, is not on Bono's side. I'll bet against Sir Bono).

This is the technical explanation that has eluded me for years. Thank you. I hope you get modded up.

Maybe you should consider living somewhere else than if you want a career in IT. Through all of history the characteristics and features of a geographic location have dictated the type of economic activity that goes on there.

Umm, I am not so sure I agree with what you have just written. Isn't the very industry of Information Technology based upon the predicate of a solution in response to a requirement?

That's a fascinating wikipedia article you cited. Off-topic, but I was impressed by the caption underneath the FedEx aircraft that reads, "FedEx became the first U.S. carrier to equip its aircraft with an anti-missile defense system in 2006. The gray oval Northrop Grumman Guardian pod can be seen on the belly of this FedEx MD-10 between and just aft of the main landing gear."

Wow. If only Flight MH-17 had that stuff; really makes one think about airliners in 2014.

Not only that, but why as a developer would you want to limit yourself to a single OS, never-mind that this one has an evil overlord with its own interests at heart? And FWIW, how come no one in their right mind uses Active X web extensions either?
