Funny this ends up here. I was asking earlier on twitter today about whether there was a C# convention for naming private variables. Seems that it is indeed _variablename , while I don't know if I like it, it would seem that it is more comm

I was hoping he would have done what other controversial(Zed Shaw) and not so controversial(Joel Spolsky) blog authors have done and just turn off the comments and moved on, rather than shut it down. However, he is not indebted to us to kee

I wish he still wrote this blog.

well that is a clear shot across the bow of twitter. I wonder if twitter has any response for this?

I don't know that this article actually says anything useful. It gives a very short high level overview of 3 non-relational databases and regurgitates quotes from another couple of blogs about databases from digg and friendfeed.

you can also do this in gimp. I also believe gnome has a standalone screenshot tool as well. Seems like overkill.

You can make that argument, but reality is that casual users do configure apache so it ends up becoming a concern of the developers whether they want it to be or not. Like I said, in the long run, it might be better to make the switch, but

How are we unique? Do you know there is no other life in the universe similar to us? Can you prove there is no other life in the universe similar(or the same) as us? What do we have a connection to? God? Am I less significant because I don'

Are you saying its not possible? I don't know if I agree with Freaky, but I learned a long time ago to be hesitant saying anything is impossible.

Maybe. It could just mean that they are going to make Oracle software work better with the SPARC/Solaris stuff. As to be able to sell the software for other platforms as well as give you a reason to buy SPARC Boxes from them in the future.

Its a neat idea, but I would echo the sentiment brought up in the thread linked that casual users would have a much harder time with a lua config in comparison to the current one. Its probably a good idea to move in this direction in the lo

I don't watch Baywatch, I do like McDonalds from time to time however. I am Canadian and while our countries are certainly different my father and his family are Americans and I feel I do have a decent grasp on American culture. Your Presi

I'm not American, but I don't see anything particularly wrong with either of these assignments you mention. It kind of falls along the lines of the JFK speech "Don’t ask what your country can do for you. Ask instead what you can do for your

One reason why a company would want to store credit card data is to make it easier for returning customers to purchase things. Besides the fact that I am paranoid, the reason why I don't keep my cc data with amazon is that I know that if I

Sounds like she was snide about it. However, that is a dumb reason to fire someone. I would not have wanted to work for that company.

I agree completely, people do this all the time, waving pens at my screen, etc. I think the easiest way to do it was the way you suggested, most people will get the hint if you just polish the smudge they left in front of them. You don't ha

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with intense debate, considering Automattic(the company behind WordPress owns IntenseDebate). However, disqus would probably be a prime target. I think the issue is that if the services like Disqus goes

I may pay higher taxes, but I get a lot of "socialized" service. Seems like a decent tradeoff to me.

What seems funny to me about these screenshots is that even though they appear they are on a desktop computer, if you look in the bottom corner of one of the screens you can see what appears to be a battery meter(as you would see on a lapto

I like itunes, my main issue to date is that it is godawful slow. Which is why I switched to songbird, which is still pretty slow, but not as slow.

I'm Canadian, and I don't really care very much what people think of our system here in Canada. In my opinion it is great. I think wait times are overstated, in situations where wait times matter. To espouse some personal stories to compare

Dvorak is a troll, but by discussing him we are just validating him and he will continue doing what he is doing. Trolls generally do their trolling to bring attention to themselves.

In this case I will honestly say I certainly wouldn't trust myself beyond changing the oil or tire or something. I would imagine I could learn to do enough car repair to get by and it is interesting but up to this point I have spent most of

I think this is a neat idea. It would be irritating thats for sure. However, if I don't have enough self control to not read HN for example, I probably don't have enough self control to not turn off the script.

It would probably make you look pretty foolish though, I think maybe a beach umbrella is a better idea if you care about that.

yes, that's very true too. So after costs, it might be a break even proposition(or not as much as it might seem anyway) on an album.
