Why not? I use a similarly spec'd 12", 1440x900, 1.8ghz Lenovo X200s. Sure I dock it and connect dual monitors when I'm at work, but having that resolution plus being able to cart it everywhere and pop it open without hassle makes it a gre

Have you ever considered how necessary the "toe" aspect of them are? If the problem is the sole, well fine wear something with a thinner sole. But then you'd really feel like you're just wearing flip-flops or ballerina flats for men. The

Its a wealth transfer - young people pay in, old people get paid. Also, some amount is currently being set aside for when there aren't enough young people paying in to pay for all the old people directly. That amount looks like it won't be

The first half of the article, focused on a factual assessment of the state of the American labor market, is accurate and informative. However the author proceeds to assert, "Well, the globalism and "free trade" that our politicians and bu

Yes; but even this only goes so far. Execution plans change based on statistics collected by the query optimizer. SQL was invented because query optimizers do a better job than humans. The same is commonly true for ORMs.

Can you elaborate the issues an ORM has in dealing with indexes? An ORM can be made aware of indexes via, e.g., annotations or other declarative syntax, and prefer those when joining and filtering, and will probably be more consistent about

Not necessarily - you could store a resultset based on the query and parameters, and if the same query and parameters come within a certain amount of time, you return the whole resultset from the cache. In this scenario, the resultset coul

This article reiterates a fundamental point that object stores quite clearly present less friction during development than relational stores. This is plainly true: your domain object is meant to model the domain, and if you can store it di

A couple disagreements: We'd like a thank-you note right away. Honestly, this level of formality would drive me bonkers and I would be more likely to think of the candidate as an overachiever type Reference-checkers can call anyone you'v

So, my question is, what is the problem with enjoying an activity as a social activity rather than a goal-achievement activity? If he chooses to spend his social time in a softball league rather than Scouts, is he doomed to mediocrity for

I don't know but I imagine that the complexity of building said tunnel is much higher than the alternative that is currently being pursued - relief wells and the "bottom kill". Building things in water is many many times more complicated th

Huh? It's talking about glee clubs, and in particular the glee club on Glee, who mostly do live performances. The article begins, "For a show that regularly tackles thorny issues like teen pregnancy and alcohol abuse, it’s surprising that a

Ehm, I think most schools have agreements with ASCAP and BMI that cover this scenario... perhaps through something like this: http://www.ascap.com/licensing/pdfs/imla_rate_schedule.pdf

Leaving aside the name-calling, I agree with the sentiment that this is pretty lame. At the point where I had to find a morse code lookup sheet I gave up (although maybe that's a red herring?) anyway I don't care enough to find out. When y

Sounds like a $1.6 million unplanned marketing event. I'd bet it pays off better than $1.6 million in traditional advertising.

Brought to you by another episode of snide answers to snide questions. This kind of question doesn't merit serious response, it is not meant to engage in a serious discussion. It is meant to humiliate and deserves only a response in kind.

Presumably creative directors are a particularly vain sort, and likely given the type of self-promotion required to be successful in that sort of job, the most successful are likely the most vain.

What a fantastic question. SAP is a form on top of a database the way Emacs is a text editor. From a certain point of view that is sort of true, but you only need to scratch the surface to see the gigantic morass lying underneath. SAP is m

Wouldn't it being a win-win for everyone include the operator of the site? Anyway I imagine that if it became popular, there would be value in having your deal listed before other people's deals.
