That is depressing, isn't it? On the other hand, I'm still wondering why Google hasn't switched away from the Flash-based graphing tool seen Analytics and Finance.

I can only agree. Recently I wanted to get better at C and started to poke around in wget's bug tracker. I found an appropriate bug and asked twice on the mailing list if my suggested implementation would be okay. No answer in both cases. T

To be fair when I talk about, say, legal issues I tend to blurt out dangerous half-truths that I deduct from supposed 'first principles'. On the other hand I would never write an article on the law like this person has done.

I believe that is basically it. They won't be participating in writing specifications, but I don't think that anyone will be stopping Apache (or anyone else) from implementing any of the JSRs. If a hypothetical Java Servlet API v4.0 would b

My brother is writing his thesis in Economics soon and we live at different ends of our country. I'm trying to convince him that Latex is the way to go and being able to do online help sessions would help a lot . Besides, to someone who ha

I'm sure they aren't writing another phone OS, but what devices exactly are they targeting? TVs, set-top boxes, MP3 players? I loved the hardware of a Sony MP3 a bought a couple of years ago but it was ruined by absolutely atrocious syncing

Could you explain the joke for non-Americans?

I switched to Vim because to me it seems that TM2 is vapourware. I know Allan is trying to get it right with his second go but he is so coy about any sort of details that I lost interest in it.

Good point, but why are they doing it then?

They are trying to force people who develop websites for IE (which applies to 95%) to buy a copy of windows.

Hi, I have read the job descriptions and they sound really great. I have 2 questions: 1. I have left university 13 months ago and have worked for an online shopping company in Berlin ever since. I have done freelance development as a studen

Also in this case the "desktop" would then be just any old client which could easily be upgraded/swapped out and something other than Windows could be used as OS.

I understand why Microsoft is doing it, but I still know this is against my best interest.

The right solution would be to have more frequent feature updates.

What is the website's audience and is it private or for work? Whenever I've done side projects, I just build it for modern browsers and then maybe make it just a bit better than not working on the most recent IE.

Yeah, I enjoyed it because I haven't read a Stallman interview yet that wasn't about licenses, the FSF, politics or some thing that he strongly disagrees with. This reminds one that Stallman is a great hacker and not just a campaigner.

You are misinformed. Mercurial is still very much written in Python with a small part in C.

I kinda agree with the article but is like Microsoft saying: "Who needs Java when you can have .NET?" They would say that wouldn't they? I can't figure out what they are trying to get at with this article. I can't help but feeling that they

Maybe this chart is a little misleading but I looks like Mastercard and Visa are quite superfluous. Why do they exist?

Oh great, I looked around but haven't found anything like it.

Years ago I started to wonder how long China could keep this whole game of censorship. I thought that they would inevitably become more open as their contact with foreign countries increased. This hasn't happened, has it? What I see instead

Is it me or are some words missing in the 2nd paragraph? It makes it hard to follow the article.

I'm German I find the recent sentiment towards Germany enjoyable but a bit surprising. Not long ago we we're the sick old man of Europe and Ireland was the European tiger. I like life in Germany but it all seems like flavour-of-the-month jo

You said it better than I did. A Catholic priest, who has credible authority talking in detail, would have been better. If you go in front of a crowd who is outraged by the actions of the organisation you're representing, do expect difficul

I didn't notice any misrepresentation of MS comments. What the commenter has done was to shorten and strip out the BS.

I read the original thread on reddit and this pretty much sums up what I silently thought to myself. It was a nice touch to get in front of the reddit crowd, but they completely sidestepped hard questions. It's a bit like a Catholic doing a

Runs slow in Safari too. I dislike MS as much as the next guy but I guess you can't really berate them for trying. I'm fairly impressed by their release strategy and marketing. To be precise, I'm impressed that they started doing those thin
