I love listening to music when doing the easy parts of an application, like crud code, light refactoring, etc. If I have to really think about something, I find myself having to turn down the music, as it becomes distracting. Agree on the d

Problem is the ribbon is so full of buttons, that people will spend just as much time looking in the ribbons, as they did in the menus.

I just read one of your replies to edw519's post, but I think you deleted it. I can't find it anymore at least. In any case, it stated you were not at all interested in programming. I think you answered your own problem with that post. I ha

What is this about? I didn't understand anything what so ever. Only some PR firm calling some blogger a bitch by accident in an e-mail. The reason though was lost to me. Something about a picture of a guy collating papers?

I really wouldn't know about the specific Unix related points, but his frustration is easily recognized in my current work on MS enterprise applications. The actual solution is a desktop client and a web application used for simple CRUD pur

The issue is mainly with the large companies, who primarily seem to be using IE. Due to their size, they can't auto-upgrade without incurring massive costs. For the average consumer, it's not really a problem.

Down-voted for suggesting IE support I suppose. The point was that 50% of end-users won't be able to use this site. I'd have said the same if the site didn't work in Firefox. You do not make a site that doesn't support the dominant browser,

Yeah, that's the point. Freelancing rates and salaries take a dive during low demand. An auction is focused on getting a high price for something which is in high demand. If there is not a high demand, you wouldn't have a need for an auctio

Could be an interesting concept. In the current climate where good developers and designers are highly sought after, it might work. However, it would probably also be very sensitive to market changes in demand for developers / designers.

If you want 10K for the site, you should probably add IE support!

That depends what you are jiggling around :-) If you can't immediately make basic loops work, then yes, you shouldn't be anywhere near production code yet. But if it's starting to use some advanced OO concept, a new protocol or similar, exp

About the McConnell quote: "Inefficient programmers tend to experiment randomly until they find a combination that seems to work." The essence of this quote is being passed around quite often these days. When you first start programming, yo

I only saw a lot of facebook-like streams, avatar pictures and a lot of other bling making it hard to see what's actually going on.

Can't really recognize these problems. I've no problem with working offline for example. You get the latest version from the repository, do your stuff and check-in when your done. Conflicts are pretty easy too. I don't know this 3 pane "sta

This is unfortunately very common! I experienced it quite recently, when I had to make a decision between 2 jobs. A guy from a recruitment agency who I had interviewed with, made me postpone deciding for the two jobs, as he was "dead-sure"

Don't know about living costs in Japan, but I've lived in Thailand and Russia where doing a bit of remote consulting and a bit of product development earned me around 2000 USD a month without a whole lot of sweat. In those countries, it was

It might very well be tech contractors. For people with specialized skills (not your typical .NET, PHP, RoR guy) who contract on stuff like SAP or similar, it is definitely not unheard of, to have a rate of £2K for a 8 hour working day. Esp

2) Though "cross-referencing previous discussions in order to let people learn from them" sounds good, if you read Colins profile, he seems quite angry at all this reposting. There is a little to a lot snark in most of those comments (thoug

You shouldn't counter one "horrible generalization" with another, such as "Successful people always work hard/long hours to make something succeed."

Not working in IE 8 for me at least :) Works fine in Firefox. Great app, would be very interesting to try it on one of them digital whiteboards.

It is essentially just a vaporizer like all the different e-cigarettes already on the market. The difference is this one uses buthane instead of battery. This product seem to have been released a while ago to a lukewarm reception. It's a ni

Any game or app for that matter can benefit from a demo, trial or similar. Even though 5 euro is not a lot, it's still money. As there is so much low-quality stuff out there, customers are sceptical about buying something they haven't tried
