Nope, got sucked into the US for its tech jobs & stayed: Boston > Minnesota > California > Minnesota.

I think I had the choice of stainless or iron back in 2003 (U of S). They probably just had an old box of iron ones hanging around. They were pretty clear about the tradeoffs, the iron ones were traditional and symbolic, but they rusted and

I got mine in 2003 for a B. Sc in Mechanical Engineering, but since I ended up going to work at a software development company, I decided not to wear it - just felt wrong. This was a personal choice, YMMV :)

As a native mid-continent Canadian, I find it interesting that such large swaths of Canada are lumped together. For instance, I find the accent of Albertans quite distinct from Saskatchewan/Manitoba, and BC definitely so.

That 'family mode' is a good start, but to be really useful it would be awesome to be able to specify different constraints/preferences/etc per family member, and yet have the resulting recipes work (or be modifiable) for the entire family.

Try searching the web for 'Standard Operating Procedure software' or 'SOP software'. This is the terminology used in the nuclear/oil/utility industries to describe the type of software you're looking for. They have developed tools to handle

Yes! I totally forgot that. Burning CDs did rip on BeOS.

I remember being completely blown away back in the 90s when I installed BeOS on a Pentium - on Windows 9X the machine struggled to play a single RealPlayer video, whereas under BeOS I could run 30 or 40 videos simultaneously with each windo

You mentioned in your original post that pure visual programming languages have issues, and having a ton of experience with one (Simulink), I wouldn't disagree - especially as the 'codebase' size increases. However a hybrid visual/code appr

Working with a couple IBM consultants, I had just gotten an MVP of InfoSphere Streams running at a supermajor oil company before I left the job last year :)

Thanks for the first hand feedback. What do you mean about 'not add new emails to your identity information'? I'm OK with missing out on the latest & greatest features/products. I also don't really care about Google+, if that's what you

Thanks! I was thinking it would be great to have a new revision of one of these books that included material from C99 and newer.

Thanks, but that seems kind of backwards - that way you're using the free/unsupported gmail account as the 'front end' to relay incoming mail to your paid/supported Apps account. If you then call Google up to troubleshoot something, would t

I enjoyed 'Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets' for the same reason. Anyone know if there are other more modern books along similar lines?

This is an aside, but does anyone know if there's a way to get Google Apps but keep using your gmail address? I'd be happy to pay the Google Apps subscription rate, but I don't want to go through the pain of switching my email address to a

Send your idea to support@github.com; I did that for a suggestion I had regarding the github UI, and got a nice response back in a day or two. They also confirmed that this is their desired way to collect feedback/suggestions.

How does it compare to the way BeOS was built?

I agree - great looking docs!

Nate, you might want to consider giving the pages a more descriptive <title> than 'Draft'. Makes for a pretty unmemorable bookmark ;) Along those lines, it would be nice if bookmarking a document gave it a title related to the docum

Neat. Could you add some sort of way for the user to choose whether they want to restore into the current window, instead of a new window? Cheers :)

Knowing Google, I'm pretty sure that their drive population was consumer-grade - I think they mentioned that in the paper. It was interesting that the paper lamented the usefulness of SMART in predicting failures, because one of the things

Disclaimer: I work at a company that makes hard drives. Don't forget about their sensitivity to rotational vibration, most often induced by coupling from other drives. Maybe it's not important in this particular application, but it can be a
