I'd love to go to schools and get kids in groups like <15years or <10 years and ask them to design icons for these things and see what they come up with. They have a lot less cultural history and technological history. might be int

Microsoft codeplex now supports git I believe so the general Microsoft community supports it and that specific MS product uses it now. Presumably some internal projects also use it

Wow, they go so far as to recommend gcc if you want "new" features. ~"We won't support those features, if you want them go use a more full featured product". Kind of makes it hard to keep peddling their product in the long term if they pl

That's usually when you have some idea of the error in what you're measuring. They are just reporting on a social poll they did, isn't that usually a bit different. I mean of course this isn't a rigorous scientific study, but that doesn't

Their entire product is based off of taking your facebook data and friends graph and arranging these meetups. It's not some instafail slapped on at the last moment because they thought it was a good idea, its a core peice of how they work.

With all the US laws about seizing data and the warnings from industry, what did they expect? The government of Canada cannot legally use US cloud services either without violating their privacy laws. It is only prudent. Industry warned th
