You'd be arrested for batter-y instead :)

Go for a walk periodically or walk to work if it's not too far. The simplest solution is the best.

No accumulator register. You have to click the keys. Reasonable evaluator. Avoids Javascript 0.1 * 0.2 float issues. I'll stick with my 17 year old TI-92 though.

I live in the UK and conciously chose to watch "Coming To America" (great film) instead of the £9.3 billion that they stole from us taxpayers for a 2 week long militarised running …

In the UK, most ISPs are marketing outfits running on BT's monopolised infrastructure. BT are bad enough on their own as a telco. The marketing companies are even worse than going …

The answer to this, at least in my case, is better than my children's primary school teachers by an order of magnitude. I get the feeling that most of the people bitching are paid …

Sod all. They'll chuck him on the street and declare it's a victory on his part. That's the legal system for you.

Sounds like someone whinging that they've got a little competition in their locked in content delivery store with another locked in content delivery store. That's life - suck it up…

Unless you have ADSL...

I think the guy's opinion is in line with the "popular internet opinion" but as usual that doesn't really match reality. I deal with a lot of small-medium businesses in the UK, and…

A hierarchy is inadequate for categorising data as is inheritance for modelling objects. Tagging/Traits is more appropriate for pretty much everything. I think SICP goes into this …

I whinged about this to our partner rep who made some calls - apparently they fixed it for RTM. Whether or not that is bullshit or not, I don't know.

That shit isn't water. It's water with shit in it.

I've never heard the one-eyed trouser snake one before - I nearly spat my (non-Olympic-overlord approved) water in my ThinkPad :-) They are by far the worst mascots ever.

As the parent commenter and a previous resident (of Leyton), you've nailed it there. Our landlord upped our rent from 1000GBP a month to 1400GPB a month the moment it was announced…

I'll give you some ideas why it's an absolute fucking disgrace: * Rapier missile launchers installed on residential flats. * Dispersal Zone around Olympics which has kerfew, 42,000…

That wouldn't be that horrid Adobe forms thing that sits on JBoss would it? (we have a VM for that!)

Good stuff. Can you please make the text darker - I suffer from some sight problems which make grey on grey quite hard for me to read.

We run around 400 VMs across 44 (big scary) servers and I find that VMware only exists as a cop out for bad planning and bad architecture, albeit more cost effective than fixing it…

New VMware is probably more expensive than old vmware and it's expensive enough already. Every portrayed advantage of virtualisation is not cost effective when you have to pay thei…

Sorry I will clarify with a genuine question: where is the public source code with changelog? It seems like a snapshotting tool, so you check out the stub and then dump the snapsho…

Looking at the code, you have to check out the source and then run another script to check out the source from Google's private source control system/depot. Why it isn't just in a …

I thought TCP over TCP was a sin?

It depends where you live. My local Tesco is like fort Knox as it is right next to a council estate.

It's a commentary on how providing isolated islands (app stores) damages the distributed nature of the world wide web. Effectively every app technology is a landgrab by some entity…
