It's definitely an inspirational story in a way...but lets not be quick to call the other kids "losers". We must remember that they are all kids just trying to find their way. Some kids find their way by trying their best to fit in while ot

Yes, I've looked at PhoneGap before and it looks like a great tool. Unfortunately our needs (or our customers) involve using an existing web app but wanting the ability to find that app in the app store. Our solution has been to create smal

All I want in the App Store 2.0 model (and I realize I will never get this) is the ability to submit a web application to be included in the store.

I ended up getting the Samsung Focus S. I was convinced I was switching to Android and going to get the Galaxy Nexus after owning every iPhone since the 3G. However, after looking at several different phones I found the Mango UI to be the m

I gave up my iPhone for a Windows phone and I haven't looked back! However, I don't use any other Microsoft products at all.

Child porn is already illegal Honest question, is it illegal everywhere? I'm just taking a stab in the dark that there are societies somewhere in this world that either haven't established laws or are terribly enforced if they do exist. P

I started my career as a developer working on the Microsoft platform. In fact, I'm probably still most comfortable in C# more than any other languages. My current job I work in a mixed environment of C#, Java, and Ruby. I'm not sure why the

There are definitely far fewer apps in their app marketplace. However, the core apps that I use quite frequently are there and are just as good as their iOS counterparts (if not better...both Spotify and Twitter I prefer on Mango). There ar

I've been an iPhone user since 2007 and have had every model with the exception of the 4s. I fully intended on moving to Android, specifically the Galaxy Nexus, but after playing with the Mango UI I bought the Samsung Focus S and I'm glad I

To illustrate how not-obvious the design is, compare the original kindle (released prior to the iphone) to the iPad. And now compare the Kindle Fire (released after the iPhone/iPad) to the iPad. First of all, that's simply not true. iPhon

The "post-PC" world is extremely far off for Corporate America... or Corporate anywhere for that matter. I happen to even believe it's a long ways off for non corporate uses as well.

With a good API I could think of lots of things that I'd personally use this for. I, for one, like having a daily list of tasks I need to accomplish on paper that I can have with me (I know I have my cell phone, but something about that phy

I don't think there is much difference between what ActiveRecord is doing and what LINQ does. The main LINQ object is an IQueryable object that implements IEnumerable. However, IEnumerable is not the object that has all the enumerator metho

by akmiller 15y ago
That makes some sense to me, but technically that object at that point is not an "Enumerable" so you are essentially faking it knowing that it would be once executed. Is there some significant benefit to it returning true for Enumerable tha
227.
by akmiller 15y ago
Yeah, I'm not sure I understand that either. The whole point is that with the first example it is NOT an Enumerable yet. You are building, what is essentially, a query object and until you access something that query will not be executed at

I'm fairly certain the NFL has licensing rights and prohibits any video reproduction of any kind so you could try to get away with it for awhile, but it wouldn't last long!

I think it's less about pure education and more about a safe, controlled environment to have open and honest communication. As you suggest it's a very complex subject with many questions having no generally applicable answers. However, bein

I don't really see what specific stances he's taking in the article. The thing he seems to do and do well (from reading the article) is have open conversations about everything and let the kids have open dialogue in a controlled fashion. He

A better title for this would have been "The Social Graph is incomplete and complex." A more accurate title perhaps, but definitely not a better title!

I agree with you. I have no idea what's involved and because of my own ignorance all I know is that it could be a lot of pain and somewhat time consuming. That being said, I just signed up. I had started reading the book "The Emperor of All

On the contrary, Unity is the very beginning of Ubuntu. For the first time I feel that Ubuntu is the easiest to use of all 3 major OS's I use daily (OSX, Win7, and Ubuntu).

I agree that they have power but as I said above that power is usually not felt immediately. My top comment comes off like I'm a big time republican and that couldn't be further from the truth. I just want to point out that the great econom

Yes, the economy was soaring thanks to the technology and housing boom. You can pretend that our economy revolves around who's president and what political party system they belong to but no matter how hard you pretend it still isn't true.

I realize what the author is saying about the GPU being slightly outdated but even at that isn't doubling the ram and having faster CPU's likely to make up for the difference in the GPU? EDIT: Much better explanation found here: http://w
