Then why not pin those to the start screen, as well, and have an even larger mouse target for getting started that isn't at the bottom of your screen? (Unless you're using Win+1-9, in which case, ignore me)

It's more like "try to find the needle in a pincushion" became "try to find the spear in the haystack", since icons/tiles can be much larger if you want.

The Microsoft conundrum: Every UI, interaction, and functionality must always stay the exact same and never change or be iterated upon/refined, but why aren't they trying anything to meet X demand or Y new thing.

I would hope that you would be using minify in some way, which lets you still have your comments and just drop them for production.

This isn't always possible in every case--it's not too hard to imagine a lot of trivial assignment all going on at once, that isn't immediately obvious what it is or why on earth it exists. //really bad example,

This is probably completely and utterly wrong as it's just a guess, but potentially the Thumb [1] instructions (small, limited subset of shorter instructions in ARM) might allow for a wider setup. Thumb instructions make a bunch of sim

They can. It's legal in most states, ignoring states with "right to work" laws even. It's a known, serious issue in the United States.

An interesting point is I can imagine that the actual power savings from upgrading those machines are non-trivial at this point. Most of the machines that wouldn't be able to run anything past XP are probably Pentium 4's--which ar

They in this case happens to be the original author of Joda Time.

Honestly, making a watch that will fit comfortably for women would be a step up. Wrist size differences and all.

I actually run into this one (or its opposite, a URL getting treated as a search) fairly frequently, which is pretty annoying every time.

I almost actually clapped when I saw this one, having run into lifetime problems before.

From my experience it's been the same in Aurora 28/29--at least for the scrolling, I can't recall ever having pinch to zoom issues.

That's actually kind of disappointing. It was nice to use it on my underpowered laptop, and it tended to work fine. I can't imagine the intersection of "people who use Aurora" and "people who use Windows 8.1" a

Piracy offers DRM free movies that you can use anywhere, sure. But very rarely does it have properly synced well-written subtitles, multiple audio tracks, and a quality encoding. Find a combination of those that works together without 30

Oh crap I totally lost track of when it started this year. Dang, I was planning to take the week of it off so I could go completely absurd with it. I wonder if I can do a crunch week at work and 7drl at the same time..

I think it's the weight that's throwing me off--and yeah, I realized they were probably linked after I said it.

Definitely appreciate a new code font, even if this one doesn't so much look like it'd meet my everyday use. It's a bit too "thin", for lack of a better word, even if it does meet most of my requirements for disting

I'm personally of the opinion that verify is harmful, because it does tie your test to your implementation. Unless that's absolutely needed (it probably isn't), it's a bad idea. I use mocks more-or-less as advanced stubs

Because one of the main authors behind JSR-310 happens to be the JodaTime author and considers it to be inspired by JodaTime, even if it's different to fix some flawed assumptions JodaTime made [1]. And as far as practical use goes, th

I'm actually the most excited about JodaTime basically being baked into the language. Date and Calendar are so, so bad that it would be hard for Instants to not be an improvement.

This. Knockout's tutorials made me far more seriously look at it than Ember for a side project I was playing around with recently, coming from the position of not knowing either of them.

http://modern.ie/ ? Microsoft's got VMs for almost every IE/OS combination you could want. Edit: meaning, why are you limiting yourself to just XP. I realize that was unclear.

Ooh, this looks exactly like what I was looking for like ... a year and a half ago to go along with dmpc.

Basically. It's really well done, and in the right hands I'm sure could be incredibly useful for small hints (the on-hover use only), but it really concerns me for anyone with epilepsy for almost every other case...

Link "works" fine except yeah it's a completely white page for me in Firefox. Actually, in everything that isn't Chrome.

It's rather hard to believe that any number of them wouldn't have an email address, considering everything they would use in place of it requires an email address to sign up for. Are they mostly talking to friends via email? Proba

In Firefox, scrolling down the page below the cover image causes a Youtube embed of what I assume is the trailer to get stuck blocking a large portion of the content of the page.

What's certainly funny is that our current enterprise stack looks a lot more like what you lay out they "should" look like, and we're constantly looking for making it leaner. That's kind of comforting, really.
