I would have expected privately-operated prisons to still be classified as "state or federal prisons", but I'm no expert.

Interesting — I've gotten the opposite sense anecdotally: that MVC has become basically "the way" to do ASP.NET these days.

How about a printer with a picture of itself built-in as a test page pattern? :) I'd guess that its sculptures started as fairly undefined clumps that served the purpose somewhat well (presumably that's what's built by other "sculpting spid

I think one also has to factor in the psychological costs, though, to citizens that worry about gun violence. I tend to think statistically like you, so I'm not particularly concerned about getting shot. But my mother certainly doesn't thin

Do we have evidence at this point that Ms Lanza wasn't "a good parent" (aside from some apparent negligence regarding keeping her guns stored well)? Or that her son was "cast away into a land of prescription pills"?

Suppose we were to send in people to help everyone in the US to access all the educational opportunities that are available to them. This would still be a USA in which public schools are funded by regional property taxes — and thus a USA in

People thought the human body could not run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Bannister did it in 1954. Once he had shown it was possible, two months later two other runners did it in the same race. I've heard this a million ti

You expect me to go to all the extra trouble of typing a 4-letter command instead of a 3-letter command? This is Unix!

Why? (Unless they somehow live wholly isolated from global temperature affecting their experience.)

I hear that used sometimes and I think it's better than trust, but it still holds some connotations that seem undesirable for the purpose: right now, a significant number of people in the USA seem to dogmatically believe that the government

I personally have no issue with the word trust in this context. My concern is with the many people who vote and who aren't educated about what its specific meaning is in this context and react to the word emotionally. In the case that the

Good post. This might be a slight derail, but: I wonder if part of the problem with getting people to accept this is the use of the value-laden word "trust". Many people immediately react to this concept with horror: they don't "trust" the

Lots of people see a similarity between Sinofsky leaving and Forstall's recent exit from Apple (and a similarity between their positions and that of Rubin). Just a silly joke, though.

I don't get the hate for in-app purchases of this kind. It's just like the shareware model that used to be popular: lots of people get absolutely free usage/enjoyment out of the base product and then, those who specifically want more, can p

Is that in a "Retina app"? If so, my understanding is that text for them is rendered by the system at the right size (so not rendered then rescaled) at any resolution.

What's the virtual memory situation on Windows RT? Does it use a pagefile?

Agreed. Although Office staying Win32 sure doesn't send the signal to others that its worth the effort to move software like that to .NET. Anyway, I'm always surprised how few things seem to be .NET, here nearly 11 years after it was introd

I might be running more .NET software than I realize, but it seems to me that .NET isn't anywhere close to becoming the majority "instruction set" of software shipped on Windows.

For most devices in most quarters (aside from those in which a major upgrade to that device is introduced), Apple doesn't tend to have shortages, so it doesn't seem like their growth is being significantly constrained by component supply.

As someone who has little idea about chip design: is there that much room for benefit purely from instruction set? i.e. if someone were to design the Optimum Instruction Set [and perhaps it'd have to be optimum in only some types of workloa

Everybody should get to choose what to make their life "about"; life is so varied, it's hard for me to take seriously any pronouncements about what a certain specific segment should be about.
