Personally we had a crib that was just next to the bed. It made it possible to get the baby out of or back in the crib without having to stand up. Very useful. Now the controversial bit: she would be the one to wake up and take care of the

On at least two occasion I was speaking with people relatively old, one who was close to dying, and one thing they said they were sad about was not having kids. How you feel or how happy you are in the moment is unrelated on what your futur

Yes, I've seen Cobol, APL too... but pascal was not so much a language for business applications, except in delphi I guess.

Wow, long time since I have last read Pascal code. Makes me wonder if there any Pascal code still in use somewhere.

I haven't used any of them recently but I had the perception that chicken had more libraries available. Gambit's generated C code used to be easier to port on other platforms. But to address the question directly http://www.iro.umontreal.c

What do you mean by data fidelity, you mean about how to represent the data so that it is comparable? I can imagine it is a problem especially since your scale can change. I know I am not showing accumulations graphically for a number of re

Very nice interface! I just have to comment since I've been building for a fee weather applications in my spare time for a little while. I know what a mess it can become, especially since you rely on different sources. I really like how you

Based on what I read, I can only guess turbo tax is nicer in the US than it is in Canada. My experience with the turbo tax french canadian equivalent from intuit (ImportRapide) was barely ok. Many times I'd see an unexpected number pop up a

According to some Aurora forecasts, today is just "quiet". Maybe the spot is not correctly aligned with us? I know the original article says earth was "in the crosshair" but still. Anyone is more knowledgeable on this? http://www.gedds.al

Undeveloped? I didn't follow every detail of the Hudson-Jenkins story but I thought the split was relatively recent. Have the codebases diverged that much since then? I would expect to still be relatively the same. Or are you referring to f

I don't think good people skills are that rare, at least no more rarer than really good technical skills. I think this perception is due that if you are hiring someone with experience in software, you already perform a selection on who will

Reporters were even getting trouble for putting cameras on their hotel balcony. If reporters carry the same fate as the crowd they are in, its not what the news should be (The news should be about what hapenned to the crowd, the reporter's

Attacks on reporters is worthy of cover because it is often done to drive reporters away so that no one will know when things go really ugly.

I guess digital cameras or webcams were not that available either. I am sure than having to take the picture, having it developed at the camera store and then scanning gave more time to think twice. Plus had a much less "private" feel.

I don't think it is just NIH, the new people just have a very superficial view of the amount of issues, choices and decisions that were faced in building the system. That means they have a tendency to underestimate the costs that go into bu

The 15$ per paper is expensive but the membership gives you access to all papers and is relatively inexpensive. If you need to access research material frequently, you are probably better off having a membership and an ieee membership as we

The author has not charged money for his app yet so while we know some users like the application, it doesn't tell if they are willing to pay for it. But my real point is that it depends on the type of users you have. I sell my web apps to

I am not sure I see how useful it is. I think people who would care about HTML5 are already aware of it and the ones who don't will probably not be influenced by the logo. What remains seems to just be some kind of nerdy bragging thing: col
