I think you're doing a good job of proving the point. Advice from the 'guy who knows cars': Read the owner's manual. Are you using the type and grade of oil and filter they recommend? Listener response: I don't care. I just want the car to

I'm one of EPB's fiber optic customers; nice to see they're getting some recognition for a great offering.

I think the HFCS is a big factor. Mountain Dew recently ran a limited-time version of their drink made with normal sugar instead of HFCS. It was, at least to my taste buds, much better than the normal HFCS version. I hate the normal version

It's probably more accurate to say that they're hiring people who are willing to use MS tech to pull a salary, regardless of their personal preferences.

That and the fact that the speed was sustained for a longer period with this test vehicle than with previous vehicles.

Didn't mean to delete my earlier comment. Actually I'm glad he asked the question, because I wasn't aware .Net MVC could be made to work under Mono until I looked it up.

My first question after reading the title was "Why?" From the article: "JA: All the problems we had (licensing, testing, deployments) could have been overcome. We could have used workarounds, written our own deployment framework, etc. What

I'm not sure that the country spent the entire day watching that particular event. The cable news stations did.

"What a blogger writes just doesn't matter" Actually, the fact that people take the time to write long, detailed posts about various programming topics matters a lot. At least it does to me, and I think I can pretty safely make the assumpti

This is exactly why I lock my doors and use a door chain. If they wanted to get in, they'd make enough noise to wake me and everyone else in the house up. Hopefully it would give me enough time to wake up and get to my gun. If I didn't live

I'm actually rather surprised that the researchers had as much luck as they did (with either gender) in the "dentist office waiting room"-like environment. I personally cringe every time I have to go to my dentist office, precisely because

Seems like a slippery slope to me. Ok, so the university doesn't let these ~2 dozen students graduate because they refused to enroll in a 'fitness' class that was only required for the obese (if I'm reading the article right). What other ar
