Because the HTML/JS platform is only getting nicer. Almost everyone is already dumping fat clients for web clients, even in the enterprise, and it started way before AJAX was even heard of. The advantages of a fat-client client/server app a

I think if anything a VCS could make you faster because it frees you from worrying about whether you're going to make a change or delete something you can never undo. With version control you're always safe in the knowledge that whatever yo

I wish they would offer some decent resolutions as well...the 13" with 1400x900 would be nice (like on a lenovo X301), and 15" with 1920x1050 (like you can get on a dell xps 1550) would be so good! Who wants to lug a 17" lump around to get

I think another reason why meetings are an extra burden on Makers vs. for Managers is that for the Managers, the meeting is their work. Their job is to meet with people, get ideas exchanged, organise people and settle conflict, which you

Yeah I've had experience with a couple and they were terrible. One would just boil your clothes for an hour so when you took them out they would be creased beyond hope of any iron, and still wet.

We had Steelcase Think ( http://www.steelcase.com/na/think_products.aspx?f=11845 ) where I used to work. They look fantastic with their mesh back and adjustable armrests, but they're really not that good. The seat cushion isn't adjustable a

I don't have any answers but I hope the Windows 7 team do. As with you my main gripe is with dialogs that steal focus - especially ones that popup while you're typing, and only show for a split second because the focus is defaulted to a but

Oh THAT cold fusion. I couldn't understand how helium would relate to the Adobe web programming language.

I think you're definitely onto something here, and I think the guy who puts himself out there and puts the onus on the woman to say 'no' instead of waiting for her to say 'yes' is more successful for a few reasons. 1. As you say, it's easie

Big companies often use an off the shelf content filtering setup whose support contract includes blocked site lists with regular updates. I used to work for a bank that used one called SurfControl (who apparently have been acquired by WebS

Yeah, I can appreciate why people don't switch when there's something they need to be able to do (eg. Quicken or online classes) that they couldn't with the new software. But it seems to me that some people are just resistant to change and

A couple of people I know currently have computers that are basically unusable because of problems with malware on Windows. I'm thinking of suggesting using Ubuntu to them, but I'm pretty sure they will hate the idea. Of the people I have i

But Safari doesn't have its own new, fast JS interpreter (Squirrelfish) yet either - I'm only using v3.2.1 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safari_(web_browser)#Mac )

Hey you're right, I can't notice a difference in speed/responsiveness between Safari on OS X and Chrome on XP inside Parallels, whereas it's painfully slow on Firefox both on OS X and XP+Parallels. Does this mean Firefox is slow because of

Do you have any examples of Web Forms applications with clean/semantic markup and lightweight AJAX? From my experience it may be possible but all the purported advantages of ASP.NET - drag and drop development, not having to understand how
