If you apply thought and patience rather than treat it like a quick draw weapon, the results are better. For example, just a tree I walked past in London... http://i.imgur.com/BphXWFN.jpg The chunk of glass on the front is

Given up on any phone cameras. Missed so many opportunities and moments due to camera lag and shitty software. I drag a proper DSLR around with me now most of the time.

That is why you should never trust someone on commission from estate agents, through financial advisers[1] to tech sales. [1] I work with these bastards and they'd sell their parents to make a dollar.

No WP is not locked down more than iOS. I need iTunes to add something to an iOS device rather than just an MTP capable OS and it destroys the entire device's media collection if you move between machines. That's draconian to say

Agree entirely. My (now backup) scope is a Telequipment D83. It was manufactured in 1976 in London in the UK. It is fully discrete (no integrated circuits), has a full service manual that comes with it, has not had a single part replaced in

Yes Exchange integration is the big thing I miss after moving to Android. Then again I'm more productive and more attentive if I ignore the constant stream of email on my phone and just periodically check it with OWA.

The outside is of little concern. I repair a lot of handsets (it's my sideline between contracts). There are three classes of handsets: 1. Glued together with proprietary screws and requires heat gun to get inside. 2. Screwed + taped t

I'm going to throw my opinion in here because I find a few real pain points that drove me to Android eventually: 1. If someone sends me a document or a file or something and I need to do something with it and send it back, it's ho

See my original post. I use a laptop and a desktop as well on LTS.

Yes 100%. I want stability. In fact I need stability and there's nothing more stable than a boring corporate desktop so... CentOS 6.x's Gnome desktop despite being considerably older is an order of magnitude more stable, works fla

Really don't know what to do about 14.04 landing. I maintain a few systems which are in devops territory on top of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, a single desktop machine and a laptop. 12.04 is EOL in 2017 and we plan to replace them next year (we

I've used both extensively. When iOS screws up, which at least it does in my house regularly[1], you're SOL. We're moving to Android devices slowly (up two Moto Gs at the moment). [1] we have three iOS devices and I'm th

There's a fine line between each manifestation of batshit so I'm not so sure that's valid. Edit: for the downvoters; I'm not tarring everyone with the same brush but can you truly trust a person's intentions who exh

An anecdote perhaps but Microsoft's Office online proposition is virtually unusable in the "outlook.com" form at least. I haven't tried 365 yet but I imagine the codebase is the same. Even in its native browser (IE) it f

I'll confirm this. I'm much older than the "younger" generation and I have virtually nothing compared to my parents and theirs. I can get everything I own in a 45l bag and a large box. They can't get all their crap

I thought the same many years ago and spent lots of time with trackers and more programmatic methods of music production. Then I bought a hefty synth and after about 6 months of sounding like a tramp bashing a trash can lid, I finally click

Thanks. I'm sceptical (having been through several similar systems and ripped them out) but I will read your draft later.

Perhaps it's because it is Sunday but I phased out after the first couple of paragraphs. I've read it now and am still unaware of why this is fundamentally better. Command/Query pattern is an imeplementation concern. The arch

Lucky you. Mine manages to hang before I can fully open my laptop lid! (12.04 LTS). Reverted to windows and using Linux in a VM.

My bullshit detector was tripped by the number of buzzwords. What does this actually solve versus say traditional MQ (EIP stuff), service bus systems and normal SOA? I've dealt with NServiceBus extensively and really big scale .Net stu

Jan Gullberg wrote an excellent book: Mathematics: from the Birth of Numbers. It's mainly pure math but is a great foundation. I mean really better than anything else I've read.

The problem with that is that your software is a bad citizen in the windows ecosystem. Even a one shot can be pushed out or run via an msi package with no install. And you get the benefit of being able to easy throw it out via GPO, pull dep

What's wrong with an installer? An unattended installer or even a click through one is no obstacle these days.
