It's a very thorough review, but it's of a pre-beta version, and a lot has changed about Windows 7 since then. I'd love to find a more recent review...

The news story linked to in the article is worth a read, if you're not familiar with it. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/05/prosecutors-seek-th... Even though the jury did not find her guilty of the charges filed against her, they c

I have to switch languages a lot too, but I've found that I don't have a problem as long as I use each language regularly. It's when I haven't used a certain language for a few weeks / months that I confuse it with other languages. edit: Fo

Who cares about it representing a year - C++0x is a cool name all by itself!

You're right on the money. Granted, it's a movie - but that's exactly what happens in I Am Legend. They modify viruses to cure cancer, and because of the perceived benefit, the risk is overlooked. The virus is tried, and it turns out to be

More importantly than how much it costs is how it represents itself. If a service specifically tells you that from time to time you can expect a few hiccups, you can't complain, paid or not. If Gmail were to announce that it had developed t

Yeah, tough call. Since he knows better, he shouldn't have let the passwords be stored on this other website so insecurely, and he shouldn't have been snooping. He did help Jeff out, technically, but he definitely crossed the line to do so.

Good advice! Thinking of passwords in pools is a good way to limit the number of passwords you use, and still maintain decent security. Since a lot of my financial stuff is linked together, breaking one account breaks all of them - so I gav

Education has to go both ways, though. Sure, employees and users need to to know the dangers (for instance - Facebook users need to know how dangerous it is to give Facebook the password to their email accounts) but Facebook thinks it's dan

PHP offers little more than convenience. I use it myself because it's so easy to integrate with PHP and MySQL, and it's easy. I think it's a decent platform for a basic web-site, but further than that it doesn't offer anything truly unique
