It's interesting to see how much the world has changed in 10 years and what's left of the companies that were hot back then.

I think it would be difficult to find a recent test-based game that could be considered 'well received', there hasn't been much interest in text-based games since the advent of the GUI. It could be quite interesting to see what is possible

Most people seem to forget that the origin of the term cloud was networking. You just shove your packet into the internet and it magically comes out where you want it to. Because you don't know what is going on inside you just draw it as a

The University I'm at (University of Canterbury, Christchurch) is switching from Java to Python for 2010. The main reason is that we loose ~10% of the undergraduate enrolment explaining why hello world is: public class Main { public static

Most try-catches are considered boiler plate and are often generated. For example of the default options in NetBeans generates the following: try { foo.bar(); } catch (Exception ex) { Logger.getLogger(InvalidConversionException.class.getNam

The latency in the network has more to do with the networking equipment than the transmission speed. Also routing can often cause longer return times and dropped packets. Paying the high price ensures that their transactions don't leave the

Abstract thinking is sadly lacking from our school curriculums. I've seen students even at university level who are bewildered by equations like w^2-2w+4=0 or d/dm(m^3-m^2+m) just because the they haven't been taught that the variable x is
