Yes. PowerBasic. Since the original developer has passed on (Bob Zale), I don't use it for new coding. However, I have an extensive existing code base. Very fast compiler, very sma…

In short ... too many people take themselves too seriously. too many people reading the intent to malign from internet postings made by people intending to help.

We Americans are not lost because power is taken away from the Federal government. The states (or even more local authorities) should be in charge of this. Ask someone from sparsel…

Stunning out of the box thinking. Fantastic idea and implementation. Color me impressed.

It is more irresponsible to make a comment like this. People should write software in a language that A) can do the job B) they're proficient in. For example, I would much rather h…

Yes. I agree so much. Everyone should be free to purchase the car they want. If it sucks gas, the free market takes care of it with gas costs. I pay a ton more in gas tax (priced p…

Unheard of ... unless you live in the midwest. Here in Minnesota, a ton of cars have them because a ton of people own boats and/or rv's and/or snow machines. The same reason a lot …

I'm not sure how this works ... 1) husband is sleeping around. 2) wife says "pay me for sex" ... why in the world would a husband whose sleeping around on his wife pay for sex with…

waiting for kimdotcom to weigh in ...

My frustration with automotive controls isn't limited to touch screens, but I've never used a touchscreen I like. I have two cars with awesome controls - a 2000 camary and a 20007 …

One thing to understand, my Harley riding brethren, Harley cannot be targetting you. They are clearly targetting new riders. The combustion engine is a hobby as much as anything fo…

You have a fantastic gift for finding small useful projects. Truly fantastic.

Interesting that they mention medical records. I'm pretty sure that US HIPAA law would preclude storing any medical records from being stored on a network whose owner you don't hav…

An observation ... just the fact that many here treat the "midwest" as one place in their comments speaks of maybe misunderstanding/ignorance or even arrogance. As a person who has…

I hate these stupid "my db is better than whatever db" articles. 1) What db to be used depends on the situation AND MORE IMPORTANTLY 2) what experience your staff has I can say tha…

Just curious if anyone who works writing software as a service for a small company ( I have a ton of experience in this area, having worked exclusively in this realm for the last 3…

Call me a right-wing loony ... but why aren't we questioning why the government is giving out loans in the first place. Since the proliferation of government student loans in the l…

Various governments were not happy with BitCoins ... I'm sure this will drive them crazy x10 if it catches on.

I am of the opinion that web sites should never make noise automatically. Never, no matter what site. I often have my sound on without even realizing it. Nothing is more disturbing…

Wonder if he uses the air conditioning? Wonder how many people are in the car? Are there places he can't visit specifically because there aren't charging stations - sorry I don't k…

so if i do this, every list server that i subscribe to will be junked because normally have unsubscribe info in them ...

I don't think Joel is wrong per say, however, I don't think he is attacking the symptom not the problem. The answer lies in federalism and giving power to the states. If the federa…

Let me preface this by saying I'm not particularly a microsoft basher, however this smacks of their history of interface development. Remember COM in the 90's? It was so complicate…
