   I would have thought the charging circuitry takes care of this?

   This is pretty amazing news if true. Imagine the flow-on social effects of aids being reduced (or even eradicated!) in africa. Less orphans brings less poverty brings higher education, less violence, it really is going to be a big deal when

   Had a look at the code, it's quite neat and tidy, i'm really impressed and surprised considering the need for speed/optimisation in libraries like this tends to make the code unreadable...

   I've always been honestly curious... why Objective-J ? Is it simply so that mac developers can start using cappucino and feel comfortable?

   I have a suspicion that they will focus heavily on ie because of windows phone 7 - they desperately need developers, and will do whatever they can to get them on their new mobile platform, be it native or web-apps. (this all relies on the d

   I think downvoting brings mean-spiritedness to the community, and is one of the main reasons i ran away from digg and reddit and came here.

   You can take NOLOCK out of my cold, dead, hands! That one is a lifesaver for reading from terabyte-sized OLTP tables with 100/sec inserts... I really like what the guy is saying in the article. However, it's the perennial idealism vs pragm

    +1 for "compilers can produce efficient code for any reasonable (i.e. non-Itanium) architecture".. laughed out loud, until i tried to explain why i was laughing to my wife. She thinks i'm a geek.

    My best idea in this vein is a multi-user todo list for small companies, where people can assign todos to each other, and mark their own todos as depending on someone else. That way you could always see what you need to get done, that isn't

    Seems like the common thread here is to 'start a web app, charge a recurring fee'... Any suggestions for such an app that people here would find useful and willing to pay, say, $10 a month for, that would be small enough to be developed by

    I'm all for child protection too. It can't be the parents responsibility though, for purely pragmatic reasons - i mean are there really any parents in the world who are able to put a filter on their net connection their kids can't get pas

    Forget code editors for the ipad. What about code editors for the mac? Your options are jedit (hideous) or smultron (buggy abandonware), or pay through the nose for textmate (also abandonware)...

    I'm still not convinced of the point of chrome os. I mean, isn't android pretty much already what chrome os is meant to be?

    Do people leave companies after a few short years because they're job hoppers? Or do companies drive them away with constant focus on profits, redundancies, cutbacks, and all these wonders of modern management? I'm more of the opinion that

    If everyone only wants to hire 'the best', the jobs market will soon end up the way of the metaphorical bowl of jellybeans: only the aniseed ones left, which nobody wants to eat. Why not employ people who aren't what you want yet , and, h

    Yes - I had no ruby experience, read why's ruby book, and started writing business intelligence rails apps inside a big media company. Funny now, looking back on it. FWIW i work with c# now, could never find another ruby job that paid well.

    I love your attitude mate! Why do people get hung up relishing their past? My future just keeps getting better. I mean, back then, didn't have the cutest daughter in the world. The past was good. Present is great. Future is frickin awesome

    Go - find some friends in a similar situation, and start a business. It's what i bitterly regret not doing when i graduated, but the job market was too good to pass up. Your situation may be a blessing in disguise, when in 10 years time you
