I would agree with you, apart from the remarks about "the (scrap) heap" :-) . I still use two of those technologies (WebObjects and Hypercard) almost every day, and I never used either of them until about 5 years ago. For what they do, th

I have FF and 1 other browser installed on each of my computers, and use each browser for different activities. But I see no need to delete cookies (and lose potentially useful information), when I can just create another user and use fast

No need to delete cookies. Whether you're on Windows, Linux or OS X... just create a new user account for the particular purchase you are interested in. When you use the browser from that account it will have no cookies. When you've fini

I don't think anyone stresses just how much damage can be done by sitting immobile for long periods of time can be. Whilst I have no problem with 'piles' and was not hacking as the OP was. I was slim and athletic - used to walk 5 miles a d

Thanks to the link to 'Tcl the Misunderstood' here last week, I've spent a very interesting week re-appraising Tcl and how I might use it. There's no way I'm going to grok lisp, but Tcl is offering more lisp-like facilities than most other

I recently started using a small, lightweight, linux umpc for all my internet usage and development work. The one thing I missed was Lotus Notes [Notes-haters just hold your tongues!] To my very pleasant surprise I could run it under Wine

I would estimate that the vast majority of IT jobs are not programming-related. Most are in technical support and admin. And an employer is just as likely (maybe more likely) to employ a liberal arts graduate to do technical support, as h

The story lists £70k as the salary for a full professor. I worked in the UK as an assistant professor for 7 years, having to re-apply for my job every year. Finally I admitted that per hour worked burger-flippers were being paid more than
