You also do not have to host the app your self, so your not paying for the bandwidth. That cost is included in the 30% cut apple takes.

Well it appears that waylands first deployment is expected to be in MeeGo OS. So that implies Qt support will be developed and pushed by Nokia and Intel. Furthermore if you checkout waylands site, you can see screenshots of various Qt and

I don't think "ethics" is a trash course. At Texas A&M CS is in the College of Engineering. Engineering Ethics is a required course to graduate. One of the major points was using the Challenger disaster as an example case, hammering

Your ignoring the other things you get from the app store. You need to compare the 30% cut apple takes off the top to the possible increased volume of sales, the money saved from not having to host the app yourself or having to run your own

I am sort of confused. If you ask them to improve performance do they just ignore you? I know with the current project I am on, we have a very specific cpu and memory usage requirement. This specific requirement is silly in what the custo

Actually there are more ways to use the system than what you may traditionally think of when using a computer. For example, Boeing has patents related to controlling a swarm of UAV's via a g-speak based system. There are more applications

Nothing, Nokia has come along way with it. It the latest (Qt 4.7.0) they are slowly getting things closer and closer to native look and feel. There are carbon and cocoa versions for the mac. The Cocoa version obviously integrate better th

Your correct, ESRI tools are a de facto standard for map creation. However when your doing dynamic map creation or real time situational awareness the ESRI tools perform poorly. There are better commercial products on the market and free

I thought apple's mobileme product was based on sproutcore or a derivative.

The hard part is how do we verify that the records were actually deleted. Is the info still sitting on random backups somewhere. It seems that once it is out there, it will be very hard to put back in the box again. Personally that conce

What scares me is sites looking at this as easy money. By that I mean they purposely go out and collect as much info as possible so that you will want to pay to "remove it". Even worse multiple sites doing it so that there is a never endi

Sure you can create content with free open source tools and yeah there are some oss runtimes. But the runtime that the majority of the world has installed is created by adobe. If a new platform/os has a new feature, you still have to wait

Its probably going to work different for everyone. I see some saying they concentrate on the feet. I just look at the torso and the arm. To switch directions at will I just have to imagine the arm going behind or in front of the body. I

When I first started using clearcase I hated it. Now many years later, I really appreciate the power it brings to the table. Sure it has negatives just like all vc tools too, but the easy branching, dynamic vs snapshot views, automatic me

If you want to write a native objective-c cocoa touch app, you need a mac. However Novell and Adobe have alternative solutions: here is info on mono/iphone dev: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/01/open-source-... here is info

I don't think there is any perfect language for beginners. I think the most important thing is teaching problem solving. So choosing a scripting language like python and getting your students used to solving problems with it is a really g

No, you are not in the wrong major. There are many career paths available to you. I work for Boeing, and we have a lot of people in systems engineering roles. They define requirements, perform integration, and generally do a lot buisness

Haven't we been here before. In 1996 or so both sun and oracle were hyping network pc's. That's seems to be no different than now except we have re-branded this client/server architecture "cloud computing". I seem to recall a video where

It seems to me that the press is presenting this as Google Chrome OS vs Microsoft Windows 7 etc. When really its a competitor for Windows Azure which is another cloud based platform. Of course Google isn't doing a very good job setting exp

I don't know if I completely agree with why the author thinks this is unnecessary. However, I do agree that this would be a bad thing. I think making domain names anything under the sun would make it harder to find things and more confusi

I think the original poster was saying that he didn't have a B.S. in a technical field. So getting the Masters gave him the credentials he needed to go after jobs he was intrested in. I do not believe he was saying that he had a B.S. in C

At Boeing (where i work) a Masters Degree in an Engineering Field (cs for me) counts as about 2 years experience when promotions are considered. If you get your degree (Boeing will pay for everything) while you are employed here, they also

i'm not sure its the free time he is missing. i would guess he assumes that if he had completed his degree he would have the knowledge base to pick up a language and build quick utilities.
