   Two things I noticed right away. 1. The buttons on the ribbon are insanely large. Almost to the point I think I would be annoyed with this back in 6th grade. (I'm not 6 years old!) 2. The description of the move command is very technical. T

   Do I really need to point out the "facebook login" incident again? A lot of people trust computers and assume they are magically correct. Example: THE DATABASE is magically and completely up to date in every detail. Just try getting incorre

   I prefer to be interrupted if I've made an important error in an explication or my ideas are off base. (Or correcting my pronunciation)

   This greatly disturbs me but I find myself wondering why. I drink cow's milk so why should this be any different? I must ponder this.

   And this is a surprise? IE8 doesn't support much CSS3 right now. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc351024(VS.85).aspx

   I've had the same experience. Having the interface split between a color touchscreen and a non-touch e-ink screen is bad enough but did they have to screw up basic navigation on top of that?

   For the typical American, it's hard to defend the eating of meat. Not to start a fight but, being one of those typical Americans (and a decently smart one), I don't have a problem defending the eating of meat. My reasoning is quite simple

    Parametrized queries still use escaping. The only difference is instead of you doing the escaping and query construction you're letting someone else's code handle it for you. (Code I would assume is far better tested than yours)

    Not exactly a great move on apple's part but I can understand why. I'd imagine quite a few parents would be upset to see adult content in the app store.

    Vagueness could result from the writer of the apology not knowing the exact details of who did what or not being able to discuss the details. (Example: internal investigation and company rules don't allow discussion) Alternately, weasel wor

    For several years now, Airbus has offered its customers a special safety program - called "Buss" -- at a cost of €300,000 per aircraft. If the airspeed indicator fails, this software shows pilots the angle at which they must point the plan

    The problem with the Airbus series of aircraft is that the flight computer has the ultimate authority with flight controls. The flight computer can actually override the pilot if it senses the pilot was attempting to fly outside of programm

    Given that you can hot-swap the binary you could just write a bash script to enable or disable the modules you want and swap out the binary when it finishes compiling your changes.

    Very good article. I'm definitely rethinking some of the admin tools I'm developing for a community website I'm working on. Admins being able to login as any user (viewing only) doesn't look so good any more.

    Summary: The nexus one will dial the local emergency number when a call is placed to 911, 112, 999, 000, 08, 118, 111, 120, 122, 110, 119, 995, or 0800 after a January firmware update. The problem is 0800 is the prefix for toll-free dailing

    Great, 12 more ways for your phone to dial emergency numbers in your pocket with the keys locked. I thought auto-dailing 911 with locked keys was bad enough.

    Awesome, the windows 7 packages also look very clean. I think they learned something from Apple about packaging. Unfortunately Microsoft's website is still a nightmare wall of hypertext.
