Active Directory and it's deep integration into all MS Products is a killer feature in my opinion. Federated Identity Management, and ADFS are tightly integrated into AD but at the same time open and make Access Management and integrat

I would agree with you that the iPhone 5 has a better camera than the Nexus 4 but we're talking about camera phones, not a DSLR vs a Point-n-Shoot. It's better but it's not that much better. I'm sure my knowledge of ex

I'm always disappointed when I receive SPAM from large online companies like that. SPAM on non-profit emails or from small businesses that probably use Outlook are no surprise but large IT related companies are disappointed. I was ple

This is a classic case of engineering a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. The first question you have to ask your self is for what reason would anyone choose to do that? Shits-and-giggles and malice against me personally are a

Are you referring to how Android will reclaim memory from inactive processes? Android handles memory differently than you expect, it tries to keep thinks in memory and only kills apps if it needs their memory back for a more demanding proc

I did a double take when I saw this because I've been in contact with Equifax recently because I started receiving SPAM form a non-existent email address that I shared with them. I have a Catch-all address setup on my Domain so that I

I've had a Nexus 4 for over a year and it's been passed around quite a bit between friends and coworkers who all either have iPhones or S3s and I've never heard a disparaging remark about the screen, quite the contrary actual

> which can not run each others' software? Actually Windows 8 can run anything Windows RT can run. The opposite isn't true however, since there's no way to write a desktop (x86/Win32) application for Windows RT.

I disagree with you regarding legibility. I've been using commas like this in SQL for 10 years and I find it to be much more legible and functional this way. Besides the subjective argument of legibility, what other benefits does it have?

I understand the need for diversity in the database and you can argue that not filtering by blood type would expand the diversity, these appeals almost always ask for people of a particular race or heredity which limits diversity and seems

by cptskippy 15y ago
Compatible donors need to have both a compatible blood type and the same leukocyte antigens. The later is usually dictated by your heredity and can only be determined by an expensive test. Race is the biggest qualifier that can be used to

by cptskippy 15y ago
Appeals like this always bother me. You can weed out incompatible donors by simply comparing blood types and yet no one ever posts compatible blood types or even their blood type. This seems like such a simple thing to do to increase your

The impression I've gotten from all their presentations about MinWin and Metro is that Metro and Win32 are independent subsystems and that the Win32 subsystem is not being ported/supported on ARM thus no Win32 applications will run on the A

Win32 and Metro are both User Mode subsystems running on the same MinWin NT Kernel and you flip flop back and forth between them based on what you're doing.

OS X and iOS are both running the Darwin OS with a different User Land UI running on top.

This isn't really a ground breaking revelation but something that MS has been hinting at for months if not years. Win32 was never suppose to be so tightly integrated in the Kernel, it was suppose to be a user mode subsystem just POSIX. Min
