Can't build ? Why not? Developers in general love their tools (Visual Studio), the language has a huge user base (C#), and they're leveraging a rapidly maturing framework (Silverlight). If anything, when it comes to getting developer min

I hate to lead this further off-topic, but I'm trying to get into Vim myself -- how to you approach having multiple files open? Buffers? Tabs? Windows? The netbeans/visual studio/et. al. tabbed approach has always worked well for me, an

Couldn't you make the same argument for images? I know some sites try to be tricky by disabling right-click, etc., but the same "rule" definitely still applies. Or is it generally believed that images are of less "value" than video?

Right Click -> Inspect says it's two spaces. HTML ignores extra whitespace.

Great technology companies often do. If that's true, at what point does that trait change from an advantage to a liability? Is it purely about openness? Or is it more subjective (e.g. I don't like Silverlight, so Microsoft should supp

One of the biggest criticisms against Microsoft over the years is that they suffer from Not-Invented-Here syndrome. Is it just me, or does Google seem to be increasingly heading down this path? Granted, Google tends to go down the open-sou

It looks like that's about it (other than a few "data-*" attributes thrown in). Unless I'm missing something, there's nothing here that couldn't have been done in HTML 4. HTML 5 is great and all, but please let's not turn it into a marketi

The tutorial is certainly nice; however, I'm guessing that running the following snippet in the ruby tutorial: output = `cd \\etc && cat passwd` puts output shouldn't actually be returning the contents of the passwd file.

I'm sorry, but source? Stats? Anything other than anecdote to back that up? I tried to find some information, but the best I could do was from an article written in 2009 ( http://www.next-gen.biz/news/ps3%E2%80%99s-web-browser-usage... ):

Can someone give some insight on the last line? That's it. Simple. Now you can launch the hello program by entering ./hello. Look at the binary size -- surprised? Without being able to compile the executable myself, is the binary surprisi

Ah, that makes a lot more sense. I guess that's my own fault for not doing enough research before commenting.

At the risk of coming across as "my favorite language/platform is better than your favorite language/platform", the fact that you have to jump through these hoops to get Razor working in your ASP.NET MVC app strikes me as anything but easy

You have to own all of one color before you can put houses/hotels on them.

Agreed, but we are talking about the shortest theoretically possible game anyway, so might as well put all options on the table. One could argue that rolling doubles 5 times in the first 7 roles is just as unlikely. :)

Couldn't this game theoretically be over much faster? From http://www.hasbro.com/monopoly/en_US/discover/strategy/rules... Whenever a player lands on an unowned MONOPOLY property he may buy that property from the Bank at its printed

Perhaps I missed it, but how exactly does this posting verify that it's official? Other than the opening paragraph, the words 'official' and 'announce' do not appear anywhere else in the article -- nor can I find any links that point to any

I'm not quite sure the author justified tacking 'And Why Microsoft's Still Evil' onto the title. I suppose one could make the argument that 'soulless company' (author's words) equates to 'evil', but if that's the case, then the author shou

Perhaps it's just me, but for an article about removing Google branding, wouldn't it make sense to show before and after screenshots for those of us without an iPhone?

While I certainly am not questioning the potential uses of this, it also gives me have horrible flashbacks to the days of using MSN Messenger -- when 75%+ of my contacts felt it necessary to have to at least two smiley faces, three hearts,

Do you really think that either are a healthy choice? No, not necessarily. You're comparing two poor choices ... Of which one is most certainly less poor. Granted, neither might be optimal, but if you've reached the point that you're r

Is there anything 'functionally' different once you have one applied? Or is it really just Themes 2.0?

Maybe I'm not looking in the right places on their (Mozilla's) site, but how is this different than the 'themes' that have been a part of firefox for several years now?

For starters, instead of using integers all over the place, I would use a cleaned up version of the browser name (i.e. _description_1 becomes internet_explorer_description, _installLink_1 becomes internet_explorer_download, etc.). If they'r

Haml does allow for finer-grained control over whitespace, but even if that's not enough, when needed you can still "embed" plain-old html directly inside of your Haml files. I guess I fail to see how html has any advantage over haml. The

I personally like the approach that JetBrains takes. There products are also developer-targeted and not-necessarily cheap. They handle this by showing the price, allowing you to download a 30-day trial, and then sending out an email solici

I don't do any of those things and I'm only 5 years out of college. Does that mean I'm old? Either way, I think there's still something to be said for just watching 'tv' in the historical definition. My guess is that you and your acquaint
