This. Getting 30 job offers a month probably would be as great as the author thinks. But how many of those 30 recruiter emails will lead to job offers? Probably zero. My beef with recruiters is that they repeatedly pitch me jobs that I k

A landing page with white text on a pale grey background? What is their UI designer smoking? That, and I can't pull up the "Sign up" page or view information about any of the available photos (I see the thumbnails, but nothin

Well, I once got email from a recruiter named Ponzi. I think that wins.

I forget the details, but practically speaking the database keeled over after some 200 or 500 files were open at the same time.

I learned the hard way that MySQL creates a file descriptor for every database partition you create. Someone had a script that created a new partition every week...

When the announces announces "The Macintosh Office", the implication at first seems to be that the people buying the Macintosh Office are the lemmings jumping off a cliff. Terrible messaging all around.

Bravo! I'm working on a demo for NVScene right now. I'm not going to target any size smaller than 64K, though.

Looks cool! What are the system requirements for this thing?

For every station platform, there's half a dozen pedestrian-accessible grade crossings. There's nothing you could really do without rebuilding the whole thing.

What seems to be happening is that someone's server gets compromised, and the attacker uploads malicious JavaScript to attack the site's visitors. Of course, a competent admin will reverse these changes as soon as they are detecte

Exactly what happens now: Nothing. US patents aren't enforceable in China to begin with.

How so? Android and Firefox OS can run few if any GNU/Linux applications without major modifications. Ubuntu run every Linux app I can think of out of the box.

I would love to see them donated to the Dojo!

Cal poly is close-ish to you, and has an excellent computer science department. Start making contacts there. There is a Cal Poly chapter of ACM, the Cal Poly Linux User's Group (CPLUG) and a Cal poly chapter of WISH (women in software

I suspect he's after something a little like Google Docs? Otherwise, following his description literally, he wants a web-based way to share read-only copies of random spreadsheets.

The current randomness supports human life. I'm not so sure that whatever replaces it will too.

Isn't that basically what Rails and Django are? Or are you asking for something client-side?

If you need to run any cables/fiber over any property that you don't own, then yeah. If you just want to set up a DSL reseller account, knock yourself out.

Supposedly, the reason there are so few successful FOSS games is that no one wants to play a half-finished game, offer feedback (or patches) and come back and play the next revision. Is this changing? On a different note, I've been int

Another reason to pay attention to #2: Most CPUs perform simple arithmetic operations fastest on their native word size. On a 32-bit machine, addition and subtraction on 8-bit variables is probably slower than on 32-bit variables. (Often th

I didn't realize that Haskell supported M:N threading in IO contexts. In that case, I don't have an answer to the original question.

Well, you could edit machine code directly, or do the next best thing and write in assembler: cmp eax, 100 jle LESSTHAN mv 10, edx ret LESSTHAN: mv 5, edx ret I doubt that's what the author had in mind, t

Pure functions allow the runtime to make an entire set of assumptions that aren't safe with other languages.

Like Linux distributions have done since 1997? < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_management_system> Am I misunderstanding you?

I let streamingcrack.com expire a while back after sitting on it a couple years, and it's still free. YMMV.

Apparently Oracle has an "early access" version of Java SE for ARM. I'm pretty sure that there are a few open source VMs floating around with ARM support, but I wouldn't count on any of them being full drop-in replacemen
