   It can only get worse. Once that first batch of TLD is approved a bunch of large corporations will try to get their's as well. Initially the ICANN process will be perceived as bloated. To alleviate this competing TLD registars will take ove

   I'm sure that some Heroku customers already depend on the fact they're hosted on EC2 for accessing other instances or AWS services.

   Out of curiosity do we know if http://status.aws.amazon.com/ is hosted on AWS?

   Amazon also has its own fancy vocabulary but instead of cool sounding words like manifold they prefer short acronyms. Things like EC2 RDS AWS S3 EBS EMR IAM AMI SQS SNS SES HPC VPC But Amazon is the reference in cloud hosting and these te

   I certainly don't think it's a bad thing. Seems like without a MOC the programmer would have to write more code or file all that meta data in a separate file. So it's all good. I was just curious since I haven't touched Qt in years and this

   I haven't looked at Qt in a long while. Do they still have the MOC?

   It takes a lot of 99¢ app sales to afford one of those new laptops. If you're in the app selling business.

    From what I understand it is a version of Linux that can run binaries compiled for the iPhone on an ARM chip but doesn't provide any of the higher level Cocoa libraries (i.e. no GUI stuff)

    Does that mean the output of the transformer have no difference of potential relative to the ground? Why is that? It must be for the same reason that an electric shock from an ungrounded AC circuit doesn't travel through your feet as the ar

    Yes. WhosHere's answer starts with "We are not patent trolls". They should clearly change it to trademark . But really their gripe seems to be with borrowing the app concept which they agreed to. But they can only defend their trademark.

    Do we have to pay the Windows Store registration fee to deploy a Metro app? Or is there still way to send out an .exe to our friends and colleagues? Even if we get free development tools it would sucks if we can't share our work for free.

    Mingw would make more sense than Cygwin as VC++ replacement. Cygwin is for porting over Unix code.

    I broke a few DC plugs by tripping on the cable. Or stretching it to reach a power outlet and picking up the laptop still plugged in. Or getting tangled in the cable on the couch and such. These things break when you're not carful with them

    Can someone explain why Microsoft would go to such length obfuscating the Skype code and taking down derivative work? Is their IP worth the trouble? Do they see interoperability as a threat? Are they afraid of misbehaving clients? Surely it

    As I understand it Dropbox can work around the issue by presenting a plain login form (without any links) to its iOS users.

    Any chance this was done by some "intrapreneurs" from the Mint going outside the normal channels to test the waters? It could also be a ploy by Square or Payfirma for recruiting employees among the contest applicants.

    I mean problems with copy-on-write. By moving objects around won't we end up copying the whole address space? Then again we may not get into this problem until there's a full GC which would be quite rare.

    Can't we get into problems with heap compaction though? It seems that modern GCs try to keep the heap tidy by moving objects around.

    How do other garbage collectors handle this? Can I fork a Java or V8 process and take advantage of the copy-on-write optimization?
