I appreciate yours and sgift's response. I will probably keep away to be honest. I always see stories where we only see 5% of the internet on the surface and I wondered what the other 95% could be. I don't think I want to know to be honest,

I know this is a little off topic but what in general are the risks of going onto the Tor network? Like I say, I know it is off topic but I can't find anything conclusive to how risky it is? I want to see what is on there but at the same ti

I can see the auction has been removed now for that exact reason. My main issue with it was that it is not fair for other people that entered the the program for a trial pair of the glasses. The guy has clearly stipulated it was to pay for

I don't know if Google are going to like this if they figure out who it is. I would be inclined to say that they won't honour their agreement to sell them a beta pair if they don't even plan to use them. What does everyone else think on thi

Thanks for the link, I've been looking around for software that does similar things. I have been taking a look at SQL Web Edition in the view of coming away from standard that supports SSIS so it's good I'm getting a few options of other DB

We have dug ourselves the hole really by using feature specific code and relying on certain features in our structure. We are slowly digging ourselves out the hole with dependency injection in our code from a Entity point of view and want t

To save me a lot of reading time, is spring batch and integration more or less a drop in for SSIS? I am looking at Postgres at the minute and the biggest stop for me is mass data imports from our customers on a nightly basis. I've been keep

Never seen that image before, that is quite scary really. When people state that there is no such thing as aliens really annoys me when you see visualisations such as this.

You are right, I think I am being closed minded in how we plan to build software instead of revenue. That's how I develop now to be fair and not how I would build a product if I were to build it for myself.

I think I see it differently as we have just spent 3 years developing a CMS at our company and every decision has been a well thought out and concious one. We spent 3 weeks planning when we first conceived the plan. We have only had to do 2

Although I agree with your idea in principle, there are only so many times you can just hack something on top before you start to wonder if the refactoring technique is actually the better way to go. You could just end up with a hacky syste

Brilliant if you can do this, our company could never enforce this. Email is the last line in defence in a "he said, she said" situation where we need proof of changes in a project. Picking up the phone is great and making notes but notes a

To just reiterate this further, I am still 301'ing urls that have been dead for nearly 5 years. I still get requests in for them. I don't want to 404 them in fear of losing that slight bit of traffic so I just 301 them. I am really surprise

Like the others have said, the design is good but I just don't know what I am getting from the site on first approach. I also don't like how the home page main call to action is Sign In, what am I signing into and why should I? I expect the

There is a direct correlation between the size of a company and the cost they pay for a logo, if twitter gave a marketing company the power to rebrand their logo now it would cost thousands. There is a certain amount of responsibility in re

I think levels would be better, taking the idea of a veteran to the next level. But I think the levels should be based on time and "karma". So you start off green, if you stopped on the site 5 years and never added anything you would be gre

I find this balls if you ask me, the first one actually cuts out all the bullshit, the second one doesn't. I find the second email condescending and I would quite easily see through the crap of what they were trying to say. Personally we ha

They did this to themselves as it's against their guidelines to pay for page ranked incoming links. It was simply because in the end they were paying for the link to their site

Anyone else thinking they added a robots.txt entry for bing to disallow, waited to get de-listed then removed the offending robots.txt entry, posted this news article knowing bing would pick them back up in a couple of days?

Although I tend to agree that morale would decline I do not know the full story of the working environment. If you have an idiot coder that has been there forever and is hard to get rid of then this field would come up in their evaluation.

I think I must be in the minority of people that doesn't use Facebook to brag or project a different side to myself. I think this is the reason I don't see it from the other side of the fence. Some people use it to tell people how well they

I don't know why you have so much hate for the comment you made but I couldn't agree more. Facebook is a tool, all tools need to be guided by yourself, they never just work. Equally one tool will not work for everyone so sometimes you have

Drives me mental this, I dislike having to go over conversations to find if someone has replied or if someone replies to a previous comment than my last ones I end up going through them all. I don't really want an email whenever someone rep

Well as I was writing that post I got to thinking, woman (in my opinion) generally have a better idea of logic. Organisation and planning come second nature to a lot of women I know, where men (in general again) it takes more to get the pla

I have never in my years encountered a woman developer, ever. I live in UK near Manchester. I have encountered my fair share of female SEO's but never actually a developer? I don't think from my point of view it can even be classed as stere

I know I shouldn't feel this way but I never see the poster of questions or answers as women? I'm not saying at all that I think the value of a woman programmer is any less than a mans, I just do not encounter women in programming, full sto

I came here to make that exact point. We are 5 years on and I still think the ribbon bar is the worst design decision made in a UI. It's useless, it makes things harder to find. I introduced my grant parents to Office 2007 from the offset,

Well we were thinking of using SQL Azure. It's £50 for a 20gb db. This gives you triple redundancy. To get this type of redundancy in a hosted platform would be at least 3 sql licenses and 3 machines to put them on and manage the failover l

Our main out goings are software licenses to be honest. SQL has gone up to 240 per CPU now which racks up. Thanks for the advice though as I will certainly look around. I do like the propspect of te cloud though and instant scaling which is

I don't generally have a problem on StackOverflow. The last few questions I have asked have been quite high level and not been asked before and they tend to get some good answers / guesses. I find that a well structured question gets some g
