Yes, they're usually called "Omniscient Debuggers". Intellitrace on Visual Studio provides this kind of funcionality.

Yes. Not only easier, but more reliable. The examples you gave are perfectly static sound bits - they don't change. It doesn't make sense to transcribe them to text, just match the audio. Soundhound/Shazam/etc do this easily. I'm pretty sur

Those don't really require textual matching, just regular audio fingerprinting. In fact, doing that would match Starcraft or movies podcasts, where people are quoting the source.

This has been crowdsourced once. Scott Adams, from Dilbert, once postulated that most hit lyrics are nonsense, and asked his readers to post random phrases to create a song: http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2008/01/writ...

I keep hoping for some smoother navigation on street view, first-person-shooter like. I realize the issues interpolating the pictures, but navigating down a street is quite clunky today.

Another data point: I changed my linkedin password about three weeks ago. The old one is in the list (already 00000-ed), the new one isn't.

I'd expand - it's not enough to avoid throwing a ton of settings to a user, you have to design so they are not needed at all. For me, the fact that you have to hide the "power-user" options, be it on the registry, about:config or under an "

Ugh. Googling Little Coder problem matches "small code problems" and "little codec problems" before something remotely related to what I wanted. There's a single relevant result in the first page. The verbatim search returns a very good mat

I'd watch experts programming. Games are definitely one of the most interesting areas, but if I wanted to learn some new technology, or just pick up new tricks I think other projects would be interesting too.

I think there's a good chance that these patches are for backdoors that would be discovered looking at the source. I await for someone brave enough to get the source and publish a security analysis.

I don't see how that can work. What would the server compare the received salted hash with, if it has never seen the plaintext?

The point of hashing is from the difficulty of reversing it; generating a string that when hashed matches that value should be difficult. That way, even if someone has access to the hashes, he is unable to login - he needs the password. If

You're paying for the performance. You wouldn't pay that just to hear the studio songs be played over the amps. And I guess you'd be fairly satisfied even if they only played songs you haven't heard before.

Does "owning" a song makes any sense in the digital world, or is it a relic of the physical album days? Even besides the licensing/ownership fact (you have always purchased a license to listen to the music privately), I bet there's more mus
