You should have continued. His point is that while TDD is good for some things it misses huge areas and has very little ROI in most simplistic cases. Yes, you can mock HTTP requests, but there are numerous bugs you wouldn't catch unless you

True, also an icon for the download link. Although it's big is easy to miss. Maybe a "play" icon for each episode on the main page could help as well.

That's a very narrow definition of a tablet. Regardless, they also showed at a different conference the actual Windows desktop with Office running on ARM. If it can run the full desktop it can Metro as well.

It would depend on your audience. Do you want to come across as more confident than you are or would you rather paint an accurate picture? If you're talking to an audience that is close to your level of expertise certainty can come across a

"He later goes on to suggest that perhaps there will be no "traditional" Windows on the tablet, only Metro, which he discusses having the same sorts of backgrounding-and-suspending capability iOS enjoys." Which, again, proves he didn't watc

From a purely aesthetic point of view, I kind of feel the same as toddmorey. I find it too cold, too precise, too machine-like. It's like looking at a 3D rendition of a face versus an actual picture. A little bit of roundness here and there

Which proves he didn't even bother to watch the keynote. There was even a piece of hardware that showed the power consumption during sleep. They also showed the new task manager and specifically pointed out how the Metro apps have been susp

I don't see why you think it's not valid. You're taking an app that was designed to run in the browser, tell it to use different namespaces and it runs on this new Metro UI interface, phone, and tablets. You keep the same XAML, same code, a

Also the Skydrive integration. It's like moving the registry to the cloud. Of course it'll take a while before apps would use that feature, but imagine not having to worry about backing up settings or moving from one machine to another. I'm

There was a demo today at build where they took a Silverlight app, changed a few lines and now it was a "Windows 8 Metro" app. Then you take that app and run in on the phone? How can one say it's dead?!

So then how do you explain them filtering mostly negative reviews for their own service while filtering all positive reviews for the dog training company?

by pbz 15y ago
"Why do you need to enter in a captcha to view the unfiltered reviews?" Maybe they don't want Google to see them...

I'm surprised people think they wouldn't. They have the perfect hideout. Whatever the case they can always blame it on the "algorithm," and short of auditing their source code, nobody can really prove them otherwise.

What Yelp does is a racket, similar to what BBB does. In Yelp's case they are being helped by Google and other search engines. The problem is that when people link to them that's an upvote in Google's eyes. After enough upvotes are gained,

Does anybody know how this affects ado.net? Would it make it slower / faster / no change? Would we have to change any of the code? Any features gained / lost? Thanks.

I hope the reverse is true too, i.e. not loading metro ui if not used.

What do you mean? It showed two batches being copied in parallel. If anything, they should do less in parallel and rather queue up jobs between same disks.

I hope they do that (left a comment there as well). Right now, when I used explorer, a lot if times I do manual queuing, i.e. wait...

Yes, I'm on 2.3.4. I started with 2.1, the keyboard itself was OK. Sometime around 2.2 it started crashing, about every other day. With 2.3 it crashes even more. The particular problem I had above was not due to crashing. As I was typing, t

I know that, I said Android keyboard, not browser. I'm typing this on a vanila Android phone, and the level of pain I had to go through just to type the text above is ridiculous. This is not even alpha quality, it's pathetic.

I have seen that claim before, but in my experience the few times Chrome crashed I had to close the whole thing. The individual tabs may have been working, but they definitely weren't responding, or at least I wasn't able to get to them as

Somewhat related: I wish GWT had a "pattern" removal. With one of my sites, by the time I noticed that certain pages were missing the "noindex" tag Google happily indexed over 4000 pages. Considering the rate Google is crawling those pages

This is more like they have a warrant for one house so they seize the entire street or neighborhood simply because they can't make the distinction on the field between one and the other. In doing so they're causing harm to businesses, only

Privatization in theory is not theft, the same way communism sounds great on paper. In practice, however, when you're dealing with the level of corruption that was / is present in former communist countries, you can pretty much assume that
