If you do have back pain, consider starting an exercise regimen slowly. If you have not been getting any exercise, the muscles that hold your spine in alignment are weak. If you put excessive stress on your back with weak muscles, you have

My solution is to use my provider's DNS servers first and Google DNS after those.

One reason I don't use OpenDNS.com or Google DNS is that it means I might not hit the optimal CDN for me. Maybe they have improved things but last time I used it, I often ended up hitting CDN end points that were not optimal. For example, d

The author stated a couple of times that they would happily pay for the service. The problem is it was free until suddenly it was $3000/month and it took two weeks with an outage in service for that duration to learn that fact.

As a somewhat recent practicer of tdd, I find that the koans + tdd approach is more rounded: I'm forced to learn/use a function/aspect that I might have glossed over. And occasionally a particularly nice usage of syntax jumps out and gets a

The background behind the box that goes across the page and contains "Find awesome games to play on your browser or phone" has some sort of animation that causes ugly flicker on my laptop (Dell, Linux, Chrome, LCD with LED backlighting). I

You're the ideal candidate for http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc which will typically recommend something like this: * Intel i5-2500k * Crucial M4 SSD etc It is getting easier and easier to build a desktop. If you want to, it is certainly

If you have an Android phone it does have a breakdown. The couple times I've looked at mine it was screen and radios (wifi, cell) active/standby. But I think that is not important. As programmers, we look at the overall and can pick and cho

One reason to use SSL is to avoid any intermediary caching servers. I hope those days are gone but some providers might still use them. Data retrieved via SSL would avoid the local cache and be more accurate. So perhaps this was one of the

I brought the 128GB m4 and have had a similar experience. On a side note, there is a firmware upgrade that just came out that improves performance. http://www.crucial.com/support/firmware.aspx

My experience is similar but in addition I also noticed that I would come across many of the topics a day or two before they were actually posted on /. so it started to get less and less relevant. Now I don't visit at all.

How about PogoPlug? They are ARM-based, run Linux and cost around $50 per unit and a unit means finished (power supply, networking, USB, etc).

It's really minor things like the src and bin directories. I could come to like it that way but if it really is a small chunk of code I'd probably keep the .cs and .exe in the same directory. But that is really minor. The other thing (which

I just tried it and it was simple enough to use. After using it though I agree -- I'd prefer my own rolled batch file as it has conventions built in that aren't to my taste. By importing System.* assemblies do you mean automatically adding

Actually, this is great even with all the rough edges. You know why? It makes it really simple to test some part of C# in a tiny program if you don't know what you're doing very well. Where I am we all use VS to develop websites and it's a

It is becoming increasingly rare to work on an island away from open source. A lot of companies use open source in some way and having an in-house developer familiar with the projects they use or relay on can be quite useful. And the improv

Have you taken a look at Mono? The Windows servers aren't always required. There are definitely some caveats but it might be an option.

Are you using msbuild to build your project? I've figured that out and some of msdeploy so it seems like making the jump out of Visual Studio/Express should be straight forward (I came from Vim with PHP/Perl and often find Visual Studio/Exp
