On the flip side, how reasonable is it for an employer to claim ownership of outside-of-work code? And how do you evaluate someone who works at such a place -- certainly, that could be a large incentive to avoid extracurricular projects...

Are there any plans to refresh the appearance to better fit with Vista? It looks quite ugly, especially compared to Chrome (which does an excellent job of integrating well with the look of Vista -- quite surprising, coming from Google). Twe

Silly that he messes up the first example, but I've wanted something like this third solution when sorting by rating on Amazon -- when a product has only a couple of positive reviews, it's almost the same as being unreviewed. (On the other

Nah, it's not yellow journalism -- it's from the WSJ's middle column, a place for quirky character profiles (which this story is) and human-interest stories. Previous topics have included truck-driving competitions and the wild-boar infesta

The article seems to imply that adults will find learning an instrument extremely difficult and will likely never become really proficient -- but suggests they should just lower their expectations and go ahead and try anyway, because the ex
