Well, they wouldn't, unfortunately. But I guess if having an enterprise version that doesn't auto-update means that more people are going to get to use it, then that's a Good Thing.

I'd just be happy to be able to use it at all at work. Our organisation blocks it because, apparently, 'it sends a lot of data back to Google.' I have no idea if this is true or not.

That's a real shame. Maybe it was up to individual schools how much they bought into it. I was amongst the last generation of people to take 'O' levels (ISTR that GCSEs came in two years after me?), and our school had compute

Interesting that the author offers the chained hash table as an alternative implementation - that was always how I was taught they worked back in school. (1986?)

I love my Apple Watch, but have to admit I mainly use it... as a (beautiful, IMHO) watch.

I'm in the same position, and in fact started a project/blog to try and force myself to learn about the 'newer' features that had passed me by. Like many of my personal projects, I kind of ran out of steam, but maybe I&#

Bought ours on Saturday, and excitedly asked Siri to play some David Bowie when I got it home and set up... It just displayed a list of films that he'd acted in!

I'm based in the UK, and was assuming - perhaps incorrectly - that many of the commenters that weren't bothered by the word 'retard' were based in the US, where I believe that word has less of a stigma. I honestly don&#x

I actually find it slightly depressing how many people here don't find it offensive, and are comfortable with it. Maybe it's a US vs. UK thing? Many people in the sixties said 'coon' or 'spade,' and many peop

Nice! I was a ZX Spectrum teen myself, which I also remember had lovely manuals.

I can't be the only person why misread the title and got excited thinking they'd see a schematic or design notes for the original BBC Micro...

+1 for a combination of both CBT and mindfulness. Both have really helped me with my depression.

I use iVolume - http://www.mani.de/en/ivolume/ - with iTunes on a Mac as an attempt to solve the loudness problem, and it seems to work quite well to my untrained ears.

Now you've kick-started me to start looking at 'Land of LISP' which has been sitting on my shelf for a number of years...

I love this as a visualisation. It would be great to provide links to the algorithms (if they were there, I didn't find them).

That's one of the main reasons I enjoy programming in C#/.NET. The fact that there are, as far as I'm concerned, a solid set of de facto libraries without having to hunt around for third-party ones somehow makes me feel warm

Me too. I'm really struggling with all the negative comments in here! Loved the story, thought I'd delve in to the comments to find more heart-warming goodness, but no...

Northrop Grumman did a similar, but wider-ranging, thing a few weeks ago; blocking all sites classified as 'news.' This lasted a day or so.

I've been wondering this for a while now, regarding splitting assets up if one gets divorced. (N.B.: I'm hoping this won't happen to me!) Me and my wife share an iTunes account and some purchases are solely for me, some for her, and some we

The big thing missing in EVE for me is being able to control your spaceship with a joystick and engage in dogfights. Let's hope this Kickstarter will inspire a reboot of the X-Wing series... (Are you listening, Disney?)
