Isn't part (majority) of their Singularity OS written in C#? I've been waiting to see if they were ever going to release the realtime GC as part of that project to the C# community at large.

I actually think we created a mortgage system that will keep most people working (income earning) for the majority of their lives (30yrs). Now that our life span is increasing, will the norm be 40yrs?

Is it me or are 90% of the Microsoft articles voted up on HN slaps to Microsoft. I've been using them for years and really enjoy their tools but, admittedly, don't go for OS upgrades often. Still love XP when I can get it. btw- At work, w

I started reading Patrick Byrne's adventures in Naked Short Selling in the beginning but have since trailed off (this is like 10 years ago mind you). Perhaps his infamous "Miscreants Ball" diatribe kicked everything off which has been ridi

Indeed though the ones I've read about uses some type of liquid coolant for heat/cool interchange. Just curious if circulating just air through the piping would suffice as a poor-mans implementation thus reducing the need for the above gro

How difficult would it be to do a geo-thermal like system? Instead of coolant + heat exchanger, can you just force warm air down some pipes buried in the earth (running some distance) and having the thermal exchange occur "naturally" to sur

Just goes to show that anyone can write a book. The first two reasons: 1. Default Object Lifetime Is Non-Deterministic 2. Object Lifetime is Not Determined by Scope For a GC based language? Seriously? Sorry, but this article should not be

Even though he knew the formula, at least where I buy lottery tickets, the person behind the counter gives you the ticket. Assuming there are many more losers then winners, without being able to select the tickets yourself, it would seem a
