"Perhaps by 2014 or so, Microsoft will have overcome their intellectual challenges..." was this really necessary? I'm quite sure that Microsoft is smart enough to implement the C++11 standard, so why it isn't implemented is actually more nu

there's something awesome about saying "I don't know" -- you give your conversational partner the opportunity to explain! people love talking. the more chances you give them to talk, the more they will like you, or so says dale carnegie in

indeed! a trouble here is that the original fault is in user-mode csrss. you cannot use a user-mode debugger to debug csrss, so, to debug it you must use a kernel debugger. the process is involved. it is documented by microsoft though... an

it isn't without risk either. as a small company, your insurer can drop you at any time if you start to get too expensive. though this is wildly illegal, if you confront them about it, they know you're a small company with razor thin margin

how do you create good and worthwhile things if you do not try and make them better? how will you make them better without finding the elements that can be improved and improving them? maybe this is part of the engineering mindset, the abil

I agree with you. However, there is a difference between having been taught something, knowing about it, and having the information available in instant recall. For example, the B-tree question. three possible thought processes for this que

I think this is the correct question to ask. in my experience, false positives in early ventures (research projects, startups, project partnerships, whatever) are the kiss of death. If you need a group of people to do work at high capacity,

it occurs to me that when you're programming functionally, especially in a functional language, you must think about your data's structure and types first (or fight a whole lot with the language). if linus is correct, could a strength of FP

also there is very little information given and that information isn't in a format that would be useful to its intended recipient. great, "AGENT" is at (x,y) and "AGENT" is at (a,b) and "AGENT" is at (c,d). but I want to talk to "AGENT SAND
