One word--- fractals...

The complete lack of any mention of printer's ornaments (pi fonts) or specialty fonts (chess anyone?) suggests that 'Career' doesn't even begin to cover edge cases. Which of course leaves the land of hum-drum in the middle--- no thanks!

While the article is a good read, the best part is the ad on the first page that links to MySpiceSage.com offering Ghost Chilies! Yum--- or not, your mileage may vary along with your taste buds.

Not having seen the book until after I got back from Vietnam I thought it ironic in the extreme that the best way to acquire expertise on the subject matter was in fact to volunteer for the draft, survive the year, come home and get busy. W

Pretty pictures are great! For those of you who want to learn a bit more about what is going on behind the scenes, you might want to research L-Systems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system The authors who brings it home the best are

IANAL, but an agreement (EULA whatever) that cannot be read probably is not enforceable other than by legal bullying. Doesn't do any of us any good, but it is a chink in the Apple armor that may be useful in the future now that EULAs are be

I've used AutoCad with 2 button mice and 16 button mice--- either works. What might be a little style cramping would be the size of the iPad. Still doable though.

As mentioned in other comments, 'it depends'--- not mentioned is that it depends (partially) on your age. Older is not better. 6 months probably won't hurt, a year, two years, more? Chances decline as you go.

In order to get any satisfaction when looking for programming books you have to head to a book store with some reason to actually pay attention to a difficult market. Powel's Technical in Portland is a reasonable example. Op-AMP in Los Angl

He is right--- bankers at the level he speaks of certainly don't deserve the crap handed out by the tech community. That said I'd still apply the 'Shakespeare' solution to the rest of the corporate pyramid just after handling the lawyers.

Seems to me the ideal way to scale is to use the 'neighborhood' as the granular unit. Combine this with a loose federation and you could cover as large an area as need be...

Somewhere I still have a deck of punch cards of my version of Life written in (of course) FORTRAN IV. Each generation printed out on fan-fold. Of course if it ran 'too long' I'd get kicked off of the printer, so I'd run those with different

Clear and cogent. A little to trusting of the DOJ's getting it right, now or at some point in the future. As memory serves, when they took on Microsoft, Andrew Schulman had three 'Undocumented' books on the shelves, any one of which would h

Normally it's the diabetics who make such claims about the industry--- it's a surprise (a pleasant one) to hear such come from a possible solution source! As a long time type-2 diabetic, I'm still happy for ANYTHING that may someday help my

At a guess, you won't see such a beast in the wild because unlike the rest of a typical general ledger business package, inventories tend to be customized for the particular customer. This before any effort to involve point of sale hardware

From TechDirt: First, the MPEG-LA would engage with independent experts to ensure only essential patents would be placed in the MPEG-2 pool. They told the DOJ that the MPEG-2 pool constituted of 53 essential patents. Second, independent exp

EditPlus because it does what I need and very little more. Has add-ons for just about any language I've every needed to program in, but still simple for all that.

Lovely idea! That said, it failed on 'Instant Personalization' and 'Friends Share'--- spotted the problems displayed the fixing message, then the scanning message only to revert to the warning message...perhaps some sort of info on how to d

I don't mind sharing with those I explicitly choose--- it is everyone else that bothers me. The idiotic mantra of 'privacy is dead' is being used to fanboy those who are killing it for a buck.

The tutorial that the article points to is a good beginner's survey on meta-stuff that every project should at least consider before ignoring. As far as ASDF goes, the downloads and dependencies don't give me any problems, it is the loading

I can live with the current level of 'politicize' as it is vastly better than the previous level of 'theologize'. As you I would much prefer an atmosphere of point and counter point but those days (if they ever existed) may be hard to come
