I agree, I'd "go for it" and worry when it becomes a real problem. If you grow fast enough, then everyone will want to be on there (maybe you could even sell access to the #1 spot) much like Google. If you don't get any

This is the "problem" with not having things controlled by some central figure. Following the road example, the Dept of Transportation would simply open the new road, and close the old. You wouldn't have a chance to continue

I've had similar experiences with their auto-scaling. It used to be (looks like they've changed it[1]) to get the cheaper prices you had to use auto-scaling. The problem was that it would start a new instance to service one requ

I'd worry about an appliance too quickly re-ordering. My printer refused to print because it thought the toner was all gone. A black marker to the sensor on the side of the toner and I'm back and printing. It's been almost a

I don't know, looks amazing to me. Yea the branded button isn't great, but let's face it, it's going to be sitting next to the branded box/bottle anyway. If your toddler presses it, the worst they can do is order on

Ah, true... so what is the difference between a reference and a pointer then?
136.
by wspeirs 12y ago
Why is it inaccurate to call it a reference in Java? You don't dereference a variable in Java to access it, so that would make me think reference, not pointer.

Yea, NYC has a HUGE advantage because of the train system going into and out of the city. You can easily commute south to Jersey or north to Connecticut. Each stop going away from NYC drops ~$20K on comparable houses (with a few exceptions

I was under the impression that GCC would stick around as long as the Linux Kernel was in existence because there was a tight requirement for GCC to compile the Linux Kernel... well I was wrong! http://llvm.linuxfoundation.org&#x

I've gotten a few comments[1][2] from people saying Appcelerator compiles to native apps. I understand this, so do Cordova. The point is that you can write your app once, and compile it for many mobile platforms. Maybe these aren'

This is a good point... most people working on mobile have an affinity for design and feel they cannot get the same look-and-feel. I think a lot of these frameworks have caught-up to the look-and-feel needed for mobile, and folks should re-

They claim other search tools are, "too slow, too hard to configure, or require too much software to be installed." Something like OpenGrok ( http://opengrok.github.io/OpenGrok/ ) seems fairly straightforward a
