In conclusion, from the manufacturer point of view, there is more profit to be made by selling a product at multiple profit margin levels using the same manufacturing process. But …

So this is basically solve the same problems as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SecurID , but using a paper sheet instead of a hardware/software generated key?

At the end of the day, how do you implement scalable multi-threaded continuations? Yes the code has a better allure, but it's not exactly hard to add parameters to http requests. H…

I didn't know physics problems are assumed to be idealized... When you build a bridge for example, will the physics try to be simplified to the max? (Honest question here). Velocit…

Is the person currently pulling, are the weights on the ground, are the weigths currently moving to get into a stable position? Friction, weight of cord, acceleration, etc. etc. An…

Not community, but there is http://cert.startcom.org/ . You can also do your own (OpenSSL has everything you need). And for a community one, you'd still need a verification mechani…

I though the expression was "less is more that more". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Less_(Unix)

In some schools, you actually start with lambda calculus, just a bit more theoritical.

I think you're simply talking about different complementary things. One speaks about the fact that you can learn the basic keywords and flow (as in how the language is parsed) usin…

I think there are two types of awesome coders. The first type is extrovert and thinks of himself as an awesome coder. These people are known in the circle and are very few. The sec…

Yeah, that's the perspective of the client. The perspective of the service provider is that it's a marketing feature to sell. The trade off being that the service starts to be "ris…

So first, the equations seems to be mostly used to approximate and model a lot of stuff. Very precise, I know. Second, here's wikipedia take on the Millenium problem: Somewhat surp…

Not exactly the same thing. At the end you tend to re-invent the wheel if you learn that way. Learning about the existing wheels will save much time and correct a lot of errors tha…

It's something in the line of every change is a transaction. A redo is a replay of a transaction. An undo is not exactly a rollback but a reverse of the change and also a new trans…

Nobody should store information that could get them jailed/hurt/killed 5 or 10 years from now.

The author seems to generalize the "market" here. The effects described on the markets are/willbe much more subtle than the article claims. IT has always been multi-faceted. It's n…

It seems like, in my opinion that the online services are really the front facing side of the company and they are really trying to work their image through those services, not the…

So I guess that we can say for sure (2009-2010 numbers) that online stuff is now loosing money, windows is now doing better that office, and gaming is quite behind but stable and p…

As I remember correctly, Office saves everything else at MS right now (by a large margin, followed by OSes). The gaming has recently been making more money than they are loosing (a…

No, simply because they are from different domains and by extension from and for different systems. And as such, a natural ID (or arguably a GUID) can also be said to be more fitti…
