Do you have any links on this? I had a quick duckduck but sadly nothing much came up. My understanding of 'type erasure' is that it is a compiler step, that un-does all the generic information. This means that you could just ig

As an early adopter, I would want it to have some kind of 'geofencing' logic. Given that I currently use as my main mobile a Windows Phone and the announcements that they are doing something around this area come (should be detail

The licensing? If you've got an MSDN ultimate it's very easy to get going. If you don't, then it's quite hard, compared to say using the TinyCLR on the .Net Fez things [1] which are easy and by comparison designed to be

I find myself increasingly not using my Arduino stuff, the problem is I want to use it for complex things, and it just isn't as much fun. My weapon of choice, 10 years ago was always a PIC micro, I prefered them to the Atmel, and I&#x2

Not likely. The Pitot static systems (which are redundant) on a 777 are very far aware from the transponders. So this fire that magically spread all the way across that, somehow allowed auto pilot to have enough elevator control, change th

I don't know where you got your ATP from, but there isn't a good reason, in clear weather, to climb above the service ceiling for your air-plane. Now, I don't miss-underestimate how failures happen, how they combine, but I kn

this fire just happened to cut out all four radio circuits, both transponders (physically separate systems) before he could squark about it, or contact anyone on the radio? I really doubt that. If I thought that was possible, I wouldn&#x27

You don't need a transponder to show up on radar, it just makes it a lot easier. Radar operators have a hard job telling a plane from clouds or echos. A transponder makes that job a lot, lot easier. However, if you have a good radar s

That's not true at all. It will be liable to CGT, (Capital Gains Tax, which is higher than VAT for those earning more than about $50k per year), it must be declared with your self assessment.

As it tests if it it's equal to 0x23dc67e8 after XOR, I'm guessing this is a protection against some patching or similar. It get's XOR'd once after the GetProcAddress, then XOR'd back before the STDCALL invocation.

But if you study now, you are going to have $150k of debt just for your full license and maybe one larger type rating. Any jet time and that number will rise very quickly. I hear from my US pilot friends, that they also must have a college

For me, it's the design of Metro UI. I remember the first WIMP computer I had (well my dad had) an A5000, with 4mb of RAM (this had to be soldered on, and was considered wantantly excessive). If I wanted 256 colours, resolution would

Erm I think we are diving a bit deep into semantics. I guess it depends on why people talk about app count, is that due to press or their own way of understanding? As a geek who uses the pretence he needs to evaluate all the platforms, I&#

I think people have made a mistake bragging about 'app store numbers'. When Windows Phone 7 first came along, a lot of the tech press liked to simply score the platforms by the number of apps. Microsoft originally were pretty hot

This is the point people often miss-understand when discussing different programming languages. Few languages prevent you doing anything. No one claims they do. The point is some languages encourage you to do things correctly, others, mak

Why focus on the NSA or the intelligence services. The fact is that many private companies have this vast amount of data, the big push with mobile device advertising was the accuracy of the geo-location. The fact you can offer really well
