Comment on Starwood American Express Card Review by Dustin Weber

@ adam schwerin

The only advantage to that card is that it’s a VISA, thus it’s more widely accepted. If you bear down and look at the facts, the Starwood AMEX is better.

For the pure fact that you can transfer miles into any Frequent Flyer program is worth it. I guess if you like good deals on fares to only Alaska and Hawaii that’s cool, but this humble author likes to experience new places.

Walk-in with this card to any Starwood hotel and see the difference. I was impressed and continue to be.

I am not sure how well it compares to Alaska Airlines Visa Signature. I have been using this for some time now and the $99 companion fare to Alaska and Hawaii really add hundreds of dollards of value from the start. My wife and I just saved $600 in the first year by using this card.

They also partner with the Starwood Hotels and Resorts along with many others- although maybe not with the same amount of value as the Amex.

I feel I would have to research more details and get more examples before I would leave the Alaska Signature card .

In “Executive Travel” magazine it is listed as #1 for its mileage plan.

I will check out the Starwood Amex.

youall seem very in the know, so I have a question. I have to write a web page with different user acounts and a database. I have only taken a java class in my life. what “language” or “framework” will be the easiest to learn and use for the complete beginner? I know nothing about servers, databases, or even writing scripts of any kind. sorry for filling the thread with off topic things, but thank you for your time and understanding

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. However think about if you added some great pictures or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this blog could definitely be one of the best in its niche. Terrific blog!

Comment on HTML Email: Not In Microsoft Outlook 2007! by ian

I know this is an old post, but:

“No emails should contain HTML. Many mail servers strip out the HTML and you are left with big blank spaces. Thanks to the virus writers and hackers we cannot safely let HTML through in emails.”

This is an absolutely ridiculous comment. HTML emails have become common place and it’s not possible to write an HTML virus or hack someones computer. The commenter does not know what they are talking about. HTML is just a markup language and MS has not removed the ability to use it they have just mangled and broken it.

Anyone try Dolphin? How about Nitrogen? The problem with most frameworks is the code bloat and the lack of IDE RAD tools.

Comment on Alarm.com Security System Review: The Best Available? by Samuel Mistry

I used to sale the Concord 4 panel (awesome security system) with the Alarm.com GSM module, great service. But! I pointed out to them that they had weakness and their verbal reply to me in a sales meeting is that we use what the customer had in place. The sell was more than important and not the security of the customer. What am I talking about? The encryption of the alarm .com with the camera that they was selling was encrypted only from the router to their server, So if any hacker that knows how to hack a weak encrypted router such as WEP or weak encryption password on WPA are vulnerable to be seen from their own home with the camera that they got with alarm.com. Their reply to me totally turn me off and I then refuse to sell their camera with their GSM module unless the customer had a strong encrypted router and password. The others did not inform their customers. So be careful if you bought this combo. So if you had their camera installed in the last four years, I would be weary of having a hacker seeing inside my home and watching my family movement. Not being in the IT field and looking back, I just wonder if the hacker could just goes directly to the camera and get the same result. I do have my emails of all concern parties to back me-up.
