Simply select 2000 18 year olds and give them BI for life. That isn't all that expensive even in worst case and would actually show if BI could work.

I always wondered if the art galleries in my high tax country were used for money laundering. It seems pretty obvious: Individual A buys a piece of art for, lets says $10,000. A co…

I know many like me, who also just prefers the application language to be in English. From decades of using English I have no idea what many terms are in my native language, native…

I build Danish self service web applications, and from my perspective I would always want to control that date formats fits the displayed language. Why must it then be in Danish? B…

Not only that - judging from used car websites in Denmark around the time, quite a few people seemed to have bought Teslas with expectation that they could sell them at a higher pr…

Business folks: So instead of new features we have sold to customers we have to spend X weeks on this feature which was working perfectly fine?

I have been the victim of this tactic, and yes it is terrible. But it's also completely understandable. It's an extremely easy way for a company with deep pockets to bury a smaller…

It seems far more likely that the universe is a computer game rather than a simulation. A simulation implies that it tries to simulate everything accurately - if it's a computer ga…

But why wouldn't the callcenter approach work? That's where I see many other industries going. Cut the workers, use a callcenter instead through telepresence. Even if it's only 95%…

IANAL either, but from experience everything that can be seen as shady is very dangerous if it comes to a court case. It makes you look like the bad guy, and can easily be used by …

And as I have learned the very hard way, a judge can just decide it doesn't matter and the appeals court probably won't care. Please don't ever rely on how it's supposed to be - al…

It probably takes many different forms, but the ones I know about go something like this: 1) Government identifies some area that needs focus, usually so they can say they're doing…

The time dilation was really quite fascinating. However, I assume that the entire planet would not behave as if it had the same time dilation all the time? Considering the massive …

It was 7 years from XP to Vista - and 9 years to Windows 7. Now it has just been 5 years since Windows 7 and apparently it's already completely outdated. It's only 2 years since Wi…

Ah, don't know how I missed that. Thanks. Crazy that it's limited to 8.1, and not even working on 8.0. I really wonder if there is a valid technical reason, or they just use it to …

This is really one of my big frustrations with Microsoft. On one hand, they really try to push everybody to upgrade to their newest and shiniest, by making a lot of stuff (like thi…

I think this actually went pretty well. - Internet crime is reported - Police IT team tracks it to specific IP and address - Contacts owner, she says (incorrectly) the WIFI is secu…

I think that your "What am I wrong about?" approach is going too far in the opposite direction. I usually use "That shouldn't be possible" - whether it is possible or if it's user …

It's now (finally) possible to inline with newest actionscript compiler and it's included in the recently released FlashBuilder 4.7: http://www.bytearray.org/?p=4789 Just compile w…

Basic types are optionally nullable. int? is nullable, int is not. It is a fantastic tool in many cases where a null is much clearer than something like -1 to denote a missing valu…

Linus knows that and says so as well. But that's okay, because that works. Starting down that very same path again without a huge reason to do so would be very painful for any matu…

Everything in life is a trade-off. And the 30 x 1 years quote nicely illustrates why you should always strive to learn new things. However, if you already know how to do something …

It worked pretty well with an animation from an old project: Html5: http://enwire.dk/Wallaby/Html5/ Flash: http://enwire.dk/Wallaby/Flash/ At least it works in Chrome but it looks …

I really doubt anybody would accept that. The solution in many cases are simply to reboot the servers every night. Sure, we would all love to fix the bugs, but if there are no easy…

My take is that the two are different simple because Apple matters and Facebook does not :) If you have a product or service and want an additional presence on iOS it is to provide…
