Honestly, I drop support for IE <=8 for most of my sites. IE9 is pretty good and aside from a few glitches and IE specific stuff (usually 1 small hack around per problem). IE doesn't pose as much of a problem as, say, Android browser or

As much as people crap on art school an art degree can at least pay for itself as long as your willing to work for other, and not, say, make drawings of anime all day. Most of the anti-college rhetoric comes from 1 simple things. Cost of de

Remember back to highschool and college. Who would be most likely to end up in congress. Were they technically competent?

This is honestly why I use duckduckgo on any of my dev computers. They don't always have best results, but for stuff like java(script) not only do they have the !js/!java syntax for going straight to the docs but they also don't have over-s

If you can appeal to the 10-12 year old market you appeal to the whole world. Because who, really, considers themselves older than 10-12 on the inside?

I'm really hoping apple will try to become an ISP and revamp our infrastructure.

Depends who you ask. Ask most people at my school and they will give you an answer of "Java". Is Java their favorite language? No. Its their only language. Also if one cannot understand the philosophy behind the language that they are using

This changes nothing. App developers that needed more than 50mb would just download assets after they downloaded the app. So a small app download (1-2 megs) and then another 500mb of assets. Usually only games did this. This really doesn't

Try to learn one of the hot techs(JavaScript, Ruby) and write a small app in one of those. I've noticed that despite having serious knowledge of Java, C#, C++, my JavaScript skills are what people go after. Secondly, what do you have to sho

On that note, two things. First, when you actually start the animation, make sure that the images are loaded first. If I hit one the demo sites with a cleared cache, the images pop in pretty bad. Use document.onload instead of $(document).r

You have to remember, Windows Live Essentials (what they call it) doesn't come standard with windows. You need to download it. That said, Apple has long been aiming at standard users and not power users. Apple knows that everything that pow

Aside from being just interesting, Does this have and applications? It seems like it might have some applications in data structuring but is this just a math problem or are there actually people who are waiting on the solution?

As a Dev and CS major I can tell you that schools have gotten to be pretty good about teaching more than just the difference between merge sort and quick sort. My school offers things like Databases, OS, and even a web dev class this semest

Microsoft is probably making just as much off the patent system as any other troll. They get money from android because of thier patents.

My point exactly. Had I had to do something in Smalltalk and not known that, that would have been a fun bug to find had I decided to be frisky and write it as 2+2*2.

This is exactly why when ever I need to do any sort of math in a program I make sure to put parens around any single operation. Even 2*2+2 gets the treatment because god knows there have been people who screwed that up.

The economics are different. I'm assuming you mean the guys writing the programs that run trading platforms. Those guys are super specialists and for their employers a small boost in performance means a huge boost in revenue for the day. Al

Spotify doesn't let you own the music that you listen to though. Netflix doesn't let you keep the movies you watch either. Both are DRMed because thats how the company keeps you subscribing to their services.

But the point of those two industries is different. On the STEM side of things why wouldn't you want the kid that will give you the most bang for your buck? Whats the point of holding ourselves back just to create a fair playing field for e

I agree 100% with what you are talking about. And such misuses of a device like this could be dangerous if not deadly. We should absolutely regulate such a device and control its use. When I say throw ethics out the door I specifically mean

I say throw ethics out the door. In sports the idea is to entertain and compete fairly so steroids reduce the value of sports. Memory and math? What is this a competition? Why on earth would you not want to increase your capacity for memory

My one issue with this mod (and most amazon mods for node) is that they don't include S3 support AND SimpleDb support. The node app I'm writing needs S3 and SimpleDB and thats it. But the only library that has that doesn't work with my sy

I'm a little confused about this article. Its a little all over the place and not very helpful. First of all #10 has nothing to do with node at all and is quite obvious for anyone dealing with mobile web. Second of all, some things not ment

Personally, when ever my back is against a pile of rocks is when I decide to try out the forklift. When ever I have a pile of schlep that I've been doing manually (or when I see that I will have to do it manually) I usually opt for the fork
