Did Microsoft hit the "jump the shark" moment with holograms?

I have an MIS degree, and generally, you're correct. They're light on technology, though I did learn some basics. I already knew a lot of that already, though... what I learned the…

Personally, I always use either an auto-incremented ID or a GUID. I don't like using a real value of the object as a key. Generally, I think it's good practice, but you're right...…

Best line from the write-up: It combined three of my passions: running, photography, and getting attention. Great design!

Other cities have similar characters, I'm sure. Memphis has Prince Mongo [ http://www.1045theriver.com/pages/7337724.php? ] I grew up in Memphis. Prince Mongo had a nightclub that …

Interesting to compare the Partnership for American Innovation with this list: http://www.bloomberg.com/infographics/2014-03-12/offshore-pr... And, Apple and Microsoft have previou…

It's a bit difficult where I am (semi-rural)... busy roads, no sidewalks, dogs without leashes (pitbull attacks are too frequent). But, I do the same with running. I drive to nearb…

Those arguments should only affect the damages, not the finding of infringement.

Exactly. And I think it's a potentially valid argument (without knowing all the details about the case). But, not knowing about a patent, or saying you didn't copy from a non-exist…

I think that's kind of the point...

I guess I don't understand the significant advantage this would provide. You can accomplish some of the same functionality with other control flow libraries. Also, I could see the …

I just see it as removing a layer of complexity... I don't really care for having PayPal functionality, and not having to worry about the monthly fee paid to you makes it easier on…

Great job! I'll definitely be giving this a shot! Quick question, though... Do you use Stripe's Connect API for the 50 cent transaction fee you're taking (application_fee)?

Would be nice if they decided that cashflow forecasting (Microsoft Money and Quicken Online both did that well-ish) was important to add. That's the single reason I haven't gone wi…

I think the issue comes across pretty clearly in the initial conversations. If you're dealing with a client looking for the cheapest possible website, he's going to force the issue…

I have both RamNode and Digital Ocean servers in production. In terms of performance and cost, both are great. I haven't ever had any issues with Digital Ocean. With RamNode, they'…

Seems to be a theme. I had to re-do our TeamCity integration when they stripped out the IIS Path property out of the project file in favor of publishing profiles. For a shop like o…

Obviously that's not sustainable... but even the 60 hour version sounds pretty rough to me. Without a wife and kids, maybe. But I think if I tried this I wouldn't have to worry abo…

A few NSA.gov.cn addresses too...

Best piece of tech satire in a long time.

Google font the header.

Groupon was offered about $6 billion by Google in 2010. Groupon turned them down, thinking they were worth more and then went the IPO route. Now, in late 2013, Groupon has a market…

Exceptional? How about "A decent phone at a decent price."
