Possibly, but isn't the entire carnival of Apple the same? Tell me which bit of my post was not factual?

It'll be another ceremony. A parade of metal and glass. A celebration of our supposed progress. Another device for consumption. A window into a walled world. Another false need. An…

Psychs (both types) who are funded by medical insurance are the issue. They're being effectively paid commission from the insurer to find anything that could be wrong with you so t…

This is where we are. We use Crucible/Fisheye as well which really just makes things painfully hard.

Brandy Basic is pretty much that: http://sourceforge.net/projects/brandy/

Rubbish! http://www.southgatearc.org/news/november2010/make_a_transis...

HTML5 is a piss poor evolutionary abstraction of what was effectively SGML and scripting carnage. If you could start again, would you really end up with HTML5?

Well actually, I reckon yes. Much to my parents' latent terror (I didn't tell them until they came back from holiday), at the age of 15 a friend and myself built a small blast furn…

Cool - I bow before your Eliteness! (pun intended ;-)

Considering the web server takes less than 5% of the execution time in my stack, I'm not bothered and 99.99% of you probably shouldn't be either. It'd be a better performance impro…

Get a Cub monitor though - it's not the same without one!

Semantically speaking, understanding is simply knowing enough to recreate something, preferably with your own aquired skills and knowledge. We're all just fancy parrots wrapped up …

It doesn't get us anything at all other than a fucking huge rabbit hole to stare down every time you do anything. Lets look at a pretty naff case for .Net CLR on x86 for windows wo…

Not until the printers can make their own CPUs and complex parts such as threaded rods. That is a long time off. 3d printers are supposedly promoted as printing themselves i.e. as …

I was the proud owner of an ARM copro [1] many years ago (I still have the Master it was plugged into) and the first Acorn RISC machine (an A310 with 512k RAM if I remember correct…

Good for you! I (the parent of your post) actually have a BBC Master (and the advanced reference manuals) lying around still for precisely that reason. It's quite a handy and very …

RAM, separate GPU+core and profit buy the looks.

A complete understanding if you ask me is one which requires no impenetrable "black-box abstractions" to be substituted in the abstraction hierarchy. In the case of a CPU, you woul…

It's an awful community (no pun intended). There are some of the worst people on the Internet hiding behind it.

My god I remember that guy from the late 90's. There was an Internet fad around then. Now I feel old.

At the risk of sounding like a whinging old man, but do we really need 1Gbit to the home at the moment? If you take the UK as an example, a lot of the country (outside major cities…

I didn't eat meat for about 5 years. One day I just bought a quarter pounder with cheese from McDonalds for no particular reason other than I felt crappy after being sick for two w…

Just as an anti-point to the above... I'm doing some in depth analysis to see if it's a suitable replacement for C#/.Net framework in our current application stack (message oriente…

I've got one of these: http://www.avalontest.com/e-store/media/prod_full/hp_6236b.j... It's terribly useful. What you do is read the voltage you want from the device, turn the knob…

Indeed - but that is the nature of the Internet. There should always be a counterpoint to a good view.
