I thought StackOverflow was done with such poll-type questions? I was sorry to see the "Best Programming Comics" question go.

Okay, where would you put Turkey here? Europe or Asia? We're not totally Middle-Eastern, nor totally European. In fact, if you believe there's a cultural cliff between the Middle East and Europe, Turkey is that cliff, which makes it a cradl

There are many reasons why the current status quo won't change so soon and an important one is because ARM still lacks 64-bit addressing. Servers have long made the jump to 64-bit, so has most of the consumer-grade computers. Without 64-bit

A quick google shows that there's still no way to disable browser cache in Chrome. How do you work around that problem? Or is it already fixed?

Syslog is definitely not on its way out. It's been in use for 30 years because it works . Perhaps this is rather Redhat trying its hand at the embrace & extend game by introducing proprietary tools? Forcing staff to train on such techn

Here's my dream scenario: Nokia offers the same hardware with two different OS selections and also has Qt working on both Meego and WP platforms. This would obviously be a win-win situation for both the developer and the user. But this woul
