I'm a Software Developer. When I was younger my family owned a local computer company supporting a range of customer sizes. At the time I recall saying to my Dad that I wasn't sure if I should be a programmer or an IT technician.

The largest problem with Linux deployment is support. Suddenly you need a tech support team that can support Linux as well as Windows. Blizzard had a Linux version of World of Warcraft, but can you imagine how hard it is to ensure your supp

This benchmark is out of date almost immediately because of the patch level of the Java runtime and the Golang compilers change frequently. I was half thinking of creating a VB6 module for LLVM just as a tongue in cheek joke of taking a lan

I don't understand why that would be horrifying? Terra forming Mars has never been something which I imagined we would do. I always thought we'd be living in greenhouses and digging for minerals and fossils.

I think the difference is that in the UK we have a heritage of building canals that can service as a utility. The Canal system has largely been forgotten but it could be a useful network again. A canal system wouldn't work for the USA

IPv6 has multicast built in, lets hope the ISP's leave it switched on, as it will help their interconnects and create a new set of application innovations. I for one would like to see a p2p multicast protocol for super fast file delive

What? You are using more than 3.5GB of memory for your browser? I consider myself a heavy user with 20-30 tabs open at any one time. I used to have a 2GB memory usage with Adblock Plus and since switching to uBlock it averages 0.6GB of RAM.
