On a Windows/Hospital related note, I heard this antecdote in a class, any confirmation if true or source? Seems very plausible and likely. During an operation, one of the OR monit…

I have to agree. I really like the concept of the service, and I am sure it will find some niches, but I don't think I have ever considered "...like X, but better..." a strong mark…

If you use something enough, and truly want to understand it, then I assume you know all about some programmers, and that enough others are like you that these people can be consid…

It just spun around a bunch and then the feed cut. Is the show over or did something happen?

My main argument is now that they have allowed public comments and such backlash occurred, they cannot feasibly double back on it. Any purging of comments would only further feed t…

I have had this book on my shelf for a few months now, yet I had never read it, nor really planned on it. That's different now, I will try to start tonight.

Regardless of who's side you fall on, I think this is a pretty good example of why allowing public comments is a bit of a dangerous move. (Clearly the more dangerous move here was …

Thank you for this, this was apparently fixed in .NET 4.0 which I was unaware of. I think there is still some validity in my post in confusing whether you are using native accessin…

Many people find function chaining more intuitive to read, or enjoy it more after being exposed to it for a period of time. The reason that functions are used to set flags or param…

One small caution when using LINQ, especially in performance critical areas (XNA for instance): .Count and .Count() are dramatically difference in performance, when simply looking …

It was worded a bit awkward, but again the goal is not to eliminate the boilerplate code, but to abstract it to a level where you only need to write it once.

It is mindsets like his that destroy and stagnate langauges, and fill them with bloat to support outdated legacy code. I don't see why anyone should be truly content with a platfor…

If Google offered its first public services in '98, where did these posts originate from? Did Google merge an existing message board system into Groups when it was released?

The module used in the article was simply to demo the exploit. It could be used against any null deference vulnerabilities found in current kernels (the article uses a recent one a…

I think you are missing the point. First, the article doesn't care what you want. Second, it is using the current population density of Brooklyn, and that is with the current trans…

Do you refer to the long flat ones at airports as lateralscalators, forwardscalators, or orthangonalscalators?

The author is arguing that it is good enough, and going any farther is unnecessary complicated. However, the use of a static salt or modifier, in this case "foo" does not change mu…

Very cool, but I have to question one statement from the article. """The coconut-carrying behavior makes the veined octopus the newest member of the elite club of tool-using animal…

It is a nice thought, but it does seem to not fall under the scope of the prize. It would probably make more sense to pursue the creation of a Nobel (or other global prize) categor…

Many of the techinical people I know play go, or atleast know of it. I'm not sure if there is a direct correlation, but generally the stronger they are at Go, the better of a progr…

I assume lacker's point is in reference to the use of the word "Wii" itself, which is clearly a Nintendo trademark. It is not unreasonable that Apple does not want to have an app u…

You are not limited to developing native apps, in fact, even if you are comfortable in developing in Obj-C, for applications of a certain size using PhoneGap or YUI to make cross-p…
