Two things: 1) I don't really know that this feels like an ivory tower tone. I mean, it was grounded in legit research or anecdotal evidence, not a lot of "this is how it ought to be" talk. 2) I'm pretty sure instances where someone is sing

So, uhm, to bring that back to the OP's question: I would go with Java, out of the two. It's as verbose as C#, but has, in my experience, much better support for pretty much everything.

To add to the list of examples of places where you have to roll your own: At my company we needed a simple CSV reader for a file submission. That's it--just something that could read CSV files. We figured that had to be available in class

I think it might be worth pointing out that this is only applicable to "those seeking cabinet and other high-ranking posts." It's not like every possible White House employee is being asked to hand over the keys to their online lives. And t

John Gruber of Daring Fireball ( http://daringfireball.net ) grumbled today about the closed nature of Adobe/Google/Yahoo's methodology on this one. Which means there's surely an opportunity to appeal to everyone who prefers openness in the

Granted, and bear in mind I'm not saying the Surface is a viable product--but the assumption in the article is that Multi-Touch is Apple's, when the tech is anyone's. That Apple has the trademark is another story, and raises (for me) questi
