Well, granted there is not enough women talking, but I don't want to hear about women talking about women in tech. I want to hear different the different perspectives of people in tech talking about whatever which could very well be a femal

Exactly, when my 2.5 year old uses our iPad, she is actually using it - watching videos, looking at photos.

Just think how happy they would be with an iPad or something like that. I think it's all relative, but it reminds me of that film "about a boy" where the kid was really happy to be receiving something at all. Also computers in the 80s - sim

The final polish tha you are looking for gets the implementation into patent hell from what I understand. I have been using OSX for as long as it was available, and I am starting to get tired of its look, but I am increasingly switching to

That is complete and utter nonsense. There is plenty of well published cases that are unfair to both parties. You should open your eyes to the fact that the law system here is certainly not perfect, and that a lot of the people in people in

This is an extremely badly researched and edited article. As someone that has been building very quiet PC systems to have in close proximity to sensitive microphones, it is full of non-truths. For a start Dell is one of the better manufactu

If you have a DBA that knows MySQL extremely well and doesn't need to change. If you have a existing system running well, and the future roadmap of your development doesn't make staying with MySQL difficult. I am totally a Postgres fan, but

It should be said that the older books have never been very good. I have read probably all of them, none come close to the documentation on the website.

So you are saying that they might as well give up? they have to start somewhere, and choose a good base to start from, from now on its adding those more advanced features and the gravy that users expect. Perhaps the linux guys should have g

I don't think it's so much the font as the font rendering. Not sure because I need to get a Haiku system up and running, but Windows, OSX and now Linux have spent a lot of time getting the rendering working with tricks like clear fix. Inter

I am also a huge HC fan, have his books and owe him a great deal for the inspiration that he has given me. And although I agree with many things that you have said in your post I really do disagree that there are less generalists than befor

Texture overload! Seriously though, I counted 11 different textures, and is the same league as too many font faces on screen at once. You could probably reduce that to a couple of either clearly contrasting or subtly different depending on

Alternately you could hand it off to the web server which is probably a better more elegant solution. http://wiki.nginx.org/X-accel and mod_zip for instance. Why do people keep reinventing the wheel, thinking node is the be all and end a
