Knew a couple people attempting to use it for an 8k self filing solution. Uploaded word docs get transformed and typeset behind the scenes then output to the SEC's version of HTML for filing.

My reaction to this was. Oh, I've seen pocket knives with thumbdrives. Wait does that say 1TB? They can fit 1TB in a tumbdrive??? How long has this been possible?

Just signed up. I am a bit worried for them that there is such an easy and direct way to trnasition off this service. If I really like using Audium or whatver I have a whole month to set up my own ircD. If I really like this I will probably

I like this a lot. I think there could be a market for something like this that allows you to play games off newgrounds if they could get the controller right. Or displays a custom news feed with video and a crawl based on selected keywords

Useful for The DebuggerStepthrough attribute! I have been thinking that such a feature must exist but hadn't gotten around to looking it up. Otherwise yeah, no real surprises. Except maybe the Generic aliases.

I think you may be right, but that is a technical aspect. I think there is a psychological aspect. Some people want an exclusive space where they are not reminded work people or relatives or high school bullies exist at all. Even if they al

Changing nature of Facebook, it was inevitable as they added millions of people. Facebook is not good for people who want thousands of passive followers and symmetric relationships with only a few. Some people will leave, or abandon their p

What a mess, original marketing firm The HAND Media claims to have dumped n-control. And Ocean Marketing is using old HAND Media email addresses at n-control domains. http://kotaku.com/5871400/cut-paul-oceanmarketting-christofo...

I actually feel bad for these guys. They put trust in a supposedly professional,albeit somewhat slimy seeming with the pushing ebay auctions on the corporate Twitter account, marketing firm and this blows up over Christmas weekend. I worked

Yeah, the inventor David Kotkin is/was a teacher and inventor in Miami Florida, he was actually on local news demoing it. It seems it is being sold by a company called iNcontrol Enterprises LLC. Interestingly, all the press releases up unti

Oh, of course I agree you should not be profligate. And there are times you have no choice if you are hemorrhaging money. I work with middle managers who let contractors go and sit on projects months at a time in order to get cost cutting b

Yep, it is easier to increase profit by cutting costs, so that is what people will do to hit their numbers.In the long term, it is akin to burning your clothes to stay warm.

Need to support legacy files. The last (and biggest) was to import word docs into a commercial typesetting system. We need to keep the barriers for our clients as low as possible so couldn't require they give us .docx.

Right, they are talking about exposing the existing Office API to Javascript. Not having Office generate Javascript or some abomination.

by Hominem 15y ago
Sounds good if it works. Writing plugins, or automating Office through COM is an exercise in frustration right now. I've had to automate office to do some ridiculous stuff with word docs by invoking the COM objects half a dozen times now, a

One Sunday I got a call from a help desk guy involving an application I had worked on. This was the first call I had ever gotten about this app. I am pretty sure I was last on the contact list PM calls me 10 minutes later and says we need t

I must be the odd man out. Daily standup. But I am in constant contact with him during the day and CC him on all my email so he knows the exact status of any development without him having to ping me. If management is leaning on him especia

He couldn't fire them? I've always thought his blaming the digg developers was pretty classless. He was in a leadership position, he needed to lead.

I was just thinking about this. In a nutshell, I was a pretty smart kid, when I first started being taught math nobody believed I didn't "just know" things like multiplication tables. When I got things wrong, they thought I was acting out b

I'm not so sure I agree. I think it is saying "if you have to think hard, and can only come up with one counterexample, there is pretty much a rule" It isn't for things like provable facts, it is for things like "only men win best director

Elaborate code? Is he talking about encapsulating things like database and web service implementation details? Is he talking about stuff like IoC? What happens when you need to fix a bug or add a new feature. I know he says "just change wha

I have been working on a silverlight app for almost 2 years. We started in silverlight 2 and are now on silverlight 4. There have been a million twists and turns but our business demanded things that simply are not practical from HTML/JS. P

I feel for you man, but did you not test with more than one user at the same time? I live in constant fear of this kind of thing, I always round up as many people as possible to test at once.

I write software that makes people more efficient. I look at their process, write an application to help them, and next thing you know they are doing 100 tasks where before they did 10. My company can then take on more work, or let people g

I rarely have issues but is always a chance that something is going to go wrong, so everyone is sitting there waiting for the all clear. I was able to make the case that having developers, DBAs, and sysadmins sitting around in the middle of
