This is interesting, I was just discussing a similar idea with a friend only a month or so ago. Our "inspiration" was the Wikileaks ordeal, to see if there was a way to sort of crowd source web pages, similar to how bittorrents work. Could

I'd say that having anyone pledge to donate anything is something to be immensely enthusiastic about.

I have the exact opposite experience actually in FF 4b7, and though I'm not running some crazy awesome machine, its still a decent box. The page basically crashes the browser.

Well, I assume though that there other platforms (like Wii) aren't running silverlight. This could be an incorrect assumption, but it at least seems that they have the player available in other code bases.

While I get what you're saying, I think an important point here thats been mentioned several times is the fact that the tickets lose all value as result of the buyer backing out. As a completely unrealistic example, imagine if by some magic

This is much clearer thank you. From your initial example, I thought you were suggesting to just load 2 large tables into memory at once and iterate through them to find matches. Also, at the surface, this seems like it would be a good appl

Can you explain this some more? You don't really list what you're trying to achieve in your example and I can't think of a case where looping over a large data set in code is better than querying against it.

I agree with this, but I will say that Outlook 2010's search is a vast improvement over the previous versions.

Honest question: How is this different from the actual interview process? All it does is potentially reveal these things earlier, but still prior to a hire. By this logic, couldn't you argue that big companies wouldn't participate in face t

Exactly, while they might not be as powerful as others, there are definitely free versions of these floating around that are more than able. The GIMP to replace PS: http://www.gimp.org/ Inkscape to replace Illustrator: http://inkscape.or

While I agree, with the general consensus here, that the design itself is pretty useless in practice, I think that some of what they've done is kind of intriguing, from a mouse intent perspective. When I saw the label of a "clickless" inter

If its a tool for discovery than I still say its not usable. If I went looking for list of articles, linking CS + Music, this doesn't help me. I'd want to click CS, click music, and then receive a list of articles matching that correlation.

I see almost no correlation between bio and psych. In fact, I only see 2 articles that link those 2 topics at all.

Neat? Yes. Usable? No. I'm not sure if theres some piece of information thats trying to be portrayed here (other than quantity of dissertations per major) but as a browser, it's pretty useless. It employs mystery meat nav heavily, mostly be

I believe the saying goes "Weeks of coding can save you hours of planning" Certainly holds true here, but I think the real value from things like these is beating the task.

This seems to severely punish those who would even attempt to follow the rules. I've had instances where I can't find the answer to a problem and will spend hours hunting it down. If I had a professor give me a problem with that constraint,

I agree that the examples are nice, but it'd also be awesome if there was some explanation as to what that function did.

Is there an actual quote from him saying it will be the dominant platform? The article seems to be lacking that. In fact, there aren't really any quotes in here that even hint at him damning or praising one platform over the other. It'd be

Well, I'll be flying that day, but I would probably opt out without the designated day.

Yeah, exactly, I think this is why it necessitates it being a service and kind of assume that it's not a static database for that reason. If you have a fixed list of questions, it's easy to get answers to those once and never have to do it

FAQ, Testimonials, and Sign Up links at the bottom don't seem to anchor anywhere. Actually, it looks like signup anchors to the pricing section, which is kind of confusing. Similarly, I feel like those links a the bottom should actually bri

I'm a little confused about which elements here are true actually. Did he piece together pieces of factual history to create a plausible scenario? And if so, was there ever a flash mob that resulted in a riot which lead to 23 deaths?

Yeah, I think I applied a bit after that, maybe sometime in April of this year. Not taking it too personally, I'm only a few years out of school so I imagine there are some more experienced applicants.

I sat over the shoulder of a co-worker who tried it out when they ran their $100 deal a while back. From what I saw, which was probably close to 9 months ago, it's a pretty impressive tool. Lists off drug reactions, probable diseases, where

I tried applying to them a while back with no dice. They seem like a really cool company to work for and I really like their product. It's disheartening to see their ads for engineers everywhere I go, but maybe I dont qualify as top-notch a

Very neat, I checked out the other stuff you've got on there and it's pretty sweet. Seems like a lot of people have missed the point that this is just a hack to see if a light box in JUST CSS and HTML could be made. Because theres no JS or

Agreed. Thinking about it now, I would rather the inverse in a language be true, and have == be used for value comparison, and have a more wordy function for reference comparison. In my experience, I feel that its a much more common usage,

by torme 16y ago
Totally nitpicking here but != and == should typically only be used when comparing primitive values. For example, if you have an Integer object (not a primitive int) you should use .equals() and not == for comparison. The == is used for com

I like this a lot. For my current needs, I think this gives the best results of all the tools out there I've tried. I do occasionally get duplicates in the same set of results, but other than that this rocks!
