I'll have to look into that way of playing.

Best strategy (for me) seems to be to play it like tetris. Never ever use the up key and create a row at the bottom where everything collapses into it. This sort of clicked towards, oooh I don't know about 1:30am this morning.

One of the places I contracted at had the best dynamic in the team of developers. They had this lunchtime ritual where everyone went for a 45 min lunch walk. Cleared the head, gave you exercise and you were able to to chew the cud with peop

I think you'll be surprised at how quickly this type of thing is evolving. Google is putting an immense effort into solving this problem. I don't see self-drive cars as a solution for rural areas, but I do see a massive demand for

Not sure. Applying it to the design. By 30%you should have a general feel for what it's going to do, how it's going to do it, and why. You might even have a rough idea of the interface. This is probably 30%. Asking for criticism a

From what I can tell, this is aimed at 3rd world countries. I'm guessing Microsoft did not want to put their OS on a device that won't have top performance as well.

Kudos to him for this. Could not have been an easy decision but does sound like he listens and wants what is best for Ubuntu in the long run.

I have to say this rings true for me. Long term involved in one language and feeling that the world is moving on. JavaScript feels exciting.

I have to agree it seems a bit odd, however there may be some syndication meta data that is sent from dilbert.com that includes the topic of the strip. Again it seems odd. Of note I find the style of the comic up on Yahoo to be 'old&#x

Sorry but no. This isn't a tory only thing. This is down to the political system we have that allows people with little experience in a sector to be put 'in charge'. What I will say is that an expectation to be able to progra

Not so much Cobol, but basically the only places that still use it are profitable companies set up in the early 2000's. There's nothing wrong with it (although a lot of the time I end up writing Java as CF now compiles to it). It

Too be honest, after coding for 20+ years, I'm don't have a particular 'religion', but that probably has more to do with my main bread and butter coming from Coldfusion development. What I try and be is acutely aware of

I'm guessing the issues here are to do with the extreme danger you "choose" to put yourself into. You are 100% responsible for your well being and you don't expect or want other people to risk their lives for the situati

I could see this working for a company if the passenger was offered a voucher to the value of the taxi ride off goods/services that the company sells. I'm not sure offering a free ride to a centrally located business would make fi

My ex-neighbour is 'high' up in Nokia and I can remember having a conversation about how the Lumia would make a fantastic Android phone. I think he mentioned in passing that there was a team that briefly looked into making an Noki

As a BT Infinity (Fibre) customer I've realised the limiting factor for me is the fact I'm connecting over WiFi. Speed tests top out at around 50Mb and not 76Mb on my laptop. All my consoles/players are hooked up via cable. I

My own take on 4K/UHD is that it will allow me to get a cheap 39" display. Nothing more. I think the 'debacle' over the move to HD, the vague standards and the more recent 3D TV push has stayed my hand on upgrading my TV

The London scene is a huge mix of people from across Europe and Oceania. I think at a grass roots level it's very exciting mix (as an example see http://3-beards.com/ ). I think the OPs issue was more to do with where

Not sure a political party can be relied on to do the right thing. It's the nature of politics. 20 years ago I could buy a house for a decent price. I started Uni in 1990 and that was the first year student loans were introduced. So y

I'm guessing due to prohibition aka War on Drugs. I'm rather in favour of legalising and taxing all drugs. Then releasing all prisoners convicted on drug possession/supply.

Also the debt cannot be gotten rid of by declaring yourself bankrupt. It is a 'federal' debt. Think the UK has sort of got this right. Your tuition fees are a debt (at very low interest rates) that you never have to pay off unless
