It's possible.. they dropped their hugely incomplete Google Wave rotten egg on the public only a day before Microsoft announced MSN's Bing rebranding. Various project domains (waveprotocol.org) were only registered 2 weeks prior.

They use the same tracking system Google uses to create unique keys, except they built their own. That means the microtime of installation is sent to the mothership every single time someone pulls down the anti-phishing and

Ted's C programming posts make me feel really old, because I can remember exactly the same programming topics being discussed in the mid 90s . And that's C development for you, really.. every old bug is new again. It's frank

I'll bet $3 these were maybe extracted from Microsoft Symbol Server. Note it's not a MSFT site, it's some training firm.

Speaking as someone who on a variety of occasions has been asked to bake these kinds of restriction into a piece of code, I've tended to follow the restriction to the letter but not the spirit -- yes, this product has "DRM",

Sadly this is a common situation. They appear to hold off making any public notice (including often on their own "service dashboards") until support forums are screaming with upset users. Google App Engine has had numerous outages

Admitting Code is going nowhere, and seemingly for the first time in living memory, playing geek marketing catch-up with Microsoft :) I really love the new MS.

Unless of course, you want your side projects to work on non-Apple platforms. Aside from mobile stuff (and who really cares about that ;), the remainder of the Xamarin/Mono toolset is feature complete and almost entirely open source.

Note: Firefox currently uses OpenH264 only for WebRTC and not for the <video> tag, because OpenH264 does not yet support the high profile format frequently used for streaming video. We will reconsider this once support has been added

Aptly is a repository manager, it works in terms of tightly defined package versions and dependencies. Docker is for deployment, it works in terms of graphs of filesystem images. The tools do slightly overlap in use case, but they operate i

This post is surprisingly confused, it is phrased as a complaint about the language, then immediately degrades into CPython implementation specifics that have little bearing on the usability of the language itself. Ronacher should also know

I'm sorry, but this simply isn't something a search engine should be dictating. Turning enabling SSL into some arms race that panics small businesses into buying millions of new, pointless certificates just isn't very fair. T
