I'm always adjusting it so that might be beneficial after all :)

May be something completely unrelated? I had the same trouble ironically. Blamed my desk and chair for ages. Then I sold my car and it went away. The thing I didn't realise was that the car whilst having the perception of being infinitel

Default ones worked for me. Windows 2008 64-bit. 40Gb disk. Do you haave VT-x on your CPU?

That sounds like someone is having a massive laugh at everyone's expense.

I never quite understood the appeal of standing up all day. Having done a couple of jobs in my youth which involved standing up all day and spending 2 hours a day on a train standing up, I couldn't think of anything less appealing. I love

I tried it on VMWare workstation 7. Works fine for me.

Hardly. I like it here. And as for startups, I worked for one once. It's a big business now. I build software which happens to reside on the web, not "web sites" or "web applications". Sometimes we have desktop applications deployed becau

Bars are horrid for working out "what portion of a whole" is represented. I don't care what iTunes does - it looks like shit.

Tell me two characteristics or features of node.js that cannot be built (in an old-fashioned circa 2001 way) with either ASP/JScript, Perl/mod_perl or PHP 4? I'm not interested in "scalability" as that's moot - hardware is cheap.

You should have not implemented it to start with :)

Pie charts are fine if you use them carefully. Funnel charts are a sin though: http://peltiertech.com/WordPress/bad-graphics-funnel-chart/

Your 7 year old should be playing outside. Don't take their childhood away so they can live by your standards.

What about me? :) I agree with him. So you're suggesting that the time to market of an ASP.Net MVC, NHibernate, Autofac, Razor, SQL Server application is going to be lower than a classic asp and SQL server application?

I agree with your sentiment but I see the other side of it. Technology is cumulative but noise slows down decision making and fragments knowledge. The world does not need 200 programming languages, 1000 javascript frameworks, 500 different

Yes it is. It has driven me away. It's so damn inconsistent and chock full of bugs, even in the LTS releases. Not only that, Launchpad is about as likely to get a fix released as Microsoft Connect is. Fedora rawhide is more stable! Bar

Whilst I like SICP and have studied it thoroughly, it's a way of life if you choose it to be. Most don't.

But 99.9% of these innovations don't help the world. They help a small subset of a small subset of a small subset of problems from a small subset of a small subset of a small subset of society. Compare to if someone worked out how to stop

It sounds like you're suggesting that we should replace our children's life with sterile simulations of reality? I'm a programmer but I value physical experience far more than anything a machine can portray. The programming bit allows me to

Without going on too much of a philosophical tangent; not about fusion - about everything in general. It allows me to concentrate on now rather than in the future. Now is the only time that is certain. Now is the only time you get to enj

It's fundamental in possibly less than 5% of careers. Don't inflate it to something it isn't.

Personally, I think there are plenty of good programmers. Unfortunately there are a lot of problems which people like to solve over and over again...
