Depends on what I'm doing, and in what language. For Java/Python projects, Eclipse (with appropriate plugins). For Ruby, jedit. For one-file shots, Notepad++. For live editing of remote files - which I shouldn't be doing - E or WinSCP. Ulti

I call shenanigans. If the traffic is that bad on a regular and consistent basis, people could account for it by leaving their origin earlier.

Check out this ad for buying Avecora OnDemand - http://www.dealasite.com/buy-sell-website-16385.html Interesting quote: I'm selling a startup of mine, Avecora OnDemand. We currently have no customers, so this is purely a technology sale.

Negative, but great comment - very much reminiscent of Steve Yegge's Shit's Easy Syndrome , one of my favorite pieces of tech blogging.

re: the Holocaust, what part of it is that you're not sure of? - That 9+ million people were killed? - That this was done in a methodical and organized fashion? - That the vast majority of the people killed were Jews, gays, gypsies, and oth

I'd say that a "corporation" is a "large business" that has offices in more than one country and is traded on an exchange/has investors in some other way. Probably best answered by the poster, though.

I don't think there's an explicit prohibition against it, but I imagine Health Canada would probably lay the smack down pretty hard on both the network and the company for trying to skirt the rules - seeing as HC owns the game, it's probabl

Pharma advertising is something that always strikes me when I watch US TV feeds. Here in Canada, pharma advertising is very heavily regulated by the Federal government. It can come in essentially two forms. One is the "for sale" form, in wh

Interesting - I would never have thought of doing my budgeting that way. The way I do it is that I know my work commute is about 30KM, so about 150KM per week, and that my Mazda has an average combined fuel efficiency of about 7L/100KM - me

I'm curious - why the fixation on range of a tank of gas? If we're talking about serious off-road vehicles, then I can see why you'd want to max out your range to make trip planning easier. But thinking of the majority of drivers doing the

You wouldn't know it from the shoddy copy-pasting, but this garden was actually displayed at the 2003 Chelsea Flower Show [1,2], thus stretching the definition of the phrase "this year" to include six years ago. [1] http://www.telegraph.co

Any ideas on what a "non-imaging photodetector" actually is? There's very little in Google that's not connected to this video, and all of those references simply use the term without going into it.

I don't think it's listed in one place - I would get a list of school from Wikipedia or the Dept. of Education (they must have a list somewhere), and put it out as a MT task. If you do this, do a search for how to properly use the service,

Valid - gallons/100mi would probably be a more user-friendly measure. Another interesting argument, although I can't find a source offhand, was to force manufacturers to display a gallons/10,000mi - on the basis that since the average Ameri

The root of the problem is that we shouldn't be thinking in miles per gallon - we should be thinking in gallons per mile. The follow-up problem is that average person think miles per gallon is linear (as they would phrase it, "the differenc

I don't think they could - hence, one of the many reasons that they don't grow it. I'm saying that if they had the capability to grow corn, as fizx suggests, then it would be better to use that corn for food, as opposed to biodiesel.

If the could grow corn or soybeans - which are the main feedstocks for biodiesel - it would be better for everyone if they just used it for food production, as opposed to refining it and shipping it over here.

There's something I don't quite get about the 301works idea - don't they need the domain in order to do anything? Let's say I run a shortener, and it's quite popular. For whatever reason, it goes bankrupt. I can give all the redirect info t

The steering element is, I find, initially counter-intuitive. But my first time driving one of these boats I looked at the engine, saw how it moved where the thrust "pointed", and then it became entirely intuitive - I just needed to build t

I think it's a neat idea, but I don't think I personally would use it much - a lot of how I think and organize code is visual. For example, I'll write half of an invocation of a function, move it around a bit, and then complete the signatur
