Heh, Scott sure sounds bitter, doesn't he? "Kudos to Dan for being able to overlook something this important." Anyhow, I'm also of the opinion that a phone is really about the network. My coworkers will go on and on about their beloved iP

I get where you're coming from, but let me play devil's advocate. The NSA has a possibly unique position of being able to protect the United States' information infrastructure from emerging threats, on account of their well funded, top-sec

"I guess you get what you pay for." Let me guess: you just bought Windows 7 and you're trying to persuade yourself that the ridiculous amount of money you put down for that piece of software was well spent. Not too far off the mark? In any

> Yes, Dot Net is for any OS, Windows, Linux, MAC. No, .NET is not available on Linux (nor on the BSDs, for that matter--a far cry from "any OS"). Linux has the Mono project, but as it is not an official product in the .NET family, it

I use Emacs for most things, but the fact that elisp isn't multithreaded made gnus a painful experience for me. I've had much better luck using Mutt--and setting the program's editor command to emacsclient -nw. Sounds like this guy had a s

This is why I gave up on OS X and moved back to Linux :( The problem, really, is that Apple no longer sells a professional laptop. Because regardless of how their marketing department tries to spin it, if you can't swap out the battery on

I'm supposed to master an obscure language element, read through the source code of an open source project, refactor a method, run a static analysis tool, and do all the rest--all within six minutes? I do like the idea for making hard-coded

Some tech at Microsoft chose the wrong server to host a download, therefore Microsoft's corporate strategy with respect to the Web is "clueless"? Hard to argue with that kind of logic.

Wrong, wrong, WRONG. You DO NOT understand the problem, if you think that this means the probability of the other child being a boy is 1/2. GB and BG are equivalent linguistically, but not mathematically; they do not represent identical p

But if you support any sort of *nix, then you quite possibly work on OS X already. If not, there's still probably minimal work to do. It's not like going from Unix to Windows, where you have an entirely different access control mechanism,
