I think I'm right in suggesting it's free with a bizspark licence, which is a kind of a free licence available to startups. Whilst the platform (Azure) is clearly proprietary, they…

Lamdas are not orignal.

- Access mandated via FB connect - Mini (proxy) allow integration between opt in site on FB platform via http headers? - Proxy sniffs traffic and gets a hi-fi profile of users. Sup…

I like this. It espouses good engineering principles (tell don't ask etc.) the advice here is in my opinion applicable to most platforms and domains.

The more accessible the grass route tools the greater the chance of adoption. Adoption for Win8 / RT maybe acceptable with the new Express options but frankly I don't see C# develo…

Agreed. No matter how complex they key, phyiscal security can nearly always be broken. From mysterious breaks ins to _we have ways of making you talk_

Yeah. I've been on the waiting list for months :(

You're brave sending pull requests to Linus on github for the Linux Kernel from a Windows machine ;)

Good point. If I need the efficiency of a keyboard I will use the git bash cli. I suppose this is why they've bundled powershell git extensions. It's a first iteration / release. I…

Banning wealthy entrepreneurial investors from your country would surely be counter-productive to stimulating growth?

Of course Facebook could acquire / lease Bing (or build perhaps?) and plumb that into Facebook. A user searches within Facebook and the platform can display the results, apply high…

I think I read somewhere that FB embed sound tags in their html to simulate the images trick.

Corporations are tax efficient, billionaire investors are no different. Eduardo Saverin is a Brazilian, who has settled in Singapore. The only reason he'd retain US citizenship one…

What are the ramifications, if Oracle win in the USA but isn't protected by EU legislation?

I smell and anti-trust suite hurtling towards Apple? Does anyone else?

I seem to be acquiring points from both spurious and cheeky comments made years ago and answers, that haven't been expected. I thank those that participate, but I don't have the in…

I wonder if Phil Haack's exodus was the straw that broke the camels back? Perhaps this was just the leverage Scott Guthurie required to finally get what that team has craved for so…

For those of you relieved it happened in the middle of the night. Hi from mid morning London where externally hosted services including their websites mysteriously disappeared for …

Why? Because Google maps is no longer in a position of inertia. Now if you require mapping functionality you'll perform some kind of due diligence based on requirements and constra…

I've met Jon Skeet and he sincerely is a really smashing chap. The cult of Skeet on SO is getting a tad much. (I find sycophantic behaviour a terrible trait)

As a grad I accidently changed hundreds of mortgage expiry dates from UK to US format (rectified immediately). Lesson learnt. Switching Facebook off for 5.5 million people trumps t…

VS seems to be going the way of Office, only the 80% of features that nobody uses are also often inferior to alternatives. The bloat associated with VS is utterly unnecessary, I th…

Concur. Would the movement to save the NHS eclipse any ACTA movement too?
