I'd find this to be the most likely scenario, have met lots of Microsoft employees and a surprising number of them were on board with open source + acknowledging mistakes. I'd love to think that it wasn't his performance tha

Yeah, I gawked when I saw the Mazda comment too. A bunch of Mazda's in those years, especially the 90's were rebadged Fords. Compare the Mazda Navajo to Ford Explorer Sport's of the same vintage [1] [1] http://en

Huge impact? Most Definitely. Huge positive impact? Unless you feel the need to keep tabs on everyone you've ever met, probably not.

Hockey fan here. Good luck getting a bar to turn on the game when football is still on or baseball season is underway. Beyond that, some people just really don't like bar environments. (Or show me a sports bar where people are hangin

Being free from the tyranny of Eclipse workspaces is, on its own, damn nice. If you're the type that likes your version control integrated in your IDE, SVN and git feel much more natural in NetBeans than the Team Provider implementatio

Since they released Notes with 10.8, its pretty much replaced Notational Velocity for me. Search isn't quite as fast but syncing via iCloud is awesome. Now with AirDrop its super nice, being able to quickly send a note to someone els

For a PA system? I'm pretty sure all of that is using transistors now. For a guitar amp, I hear you (though I also think the quality of things like guitar rig in the last few years have started to sound pretty believable)

Same exact situation for me, definitely don't want to be reading anyone else's chats or for there to be any concern that someone might be listening in.

I wish they'd make something like this that captured time lapse imagery... The construction going on in Brooklyn Bridge Park looks roughly like where they were at last summer. Would love to see the summer turn into this winter we&#x27

Or the process of releasing those in need of treatment during the 80's. Its amazing how we're capable of so much as a society but can't get it together to help those most in need. (Interesting piece from the time on how it c

Don't know about public opinion on life imprisonment for minors, but the death penalty still has support from a majority of polled Americans [1]. I'd say it might be 'old' just because the UN passed this almost 25 year

It's kind of interesting how that G5 ad on the front page has a testimonial about freeing you from the chains of Intel and MS. Apple was was probably right in the middle of getting 10.4 ready to run on Intel at this point

sublime and notepad++, sure. I doubt, though, that they think they're going to move many away from using a full-blown IDE like NetBeans, Eclipse, Intellij, etc.

This was actually the last thing I was looking at before throwing in the towel and moving back to the app server in the interest of getting things done. I'll have to give it another go some time, thanks!

Do you use any open source libraries at work? Are they flawed? Write good bug reports and get involved in the community. It's not building up a patch portfolio (I should trademark that) but it shows that you're paying attention

Except using indexes is a major part of developing for a database. In many simple schemas, performance will completely break down without proper indexing. That's a bit different than spending time investigating if for-each is faster
