Don't get too excited, although I don't personally have authority to dismiss this, I have word that this is a completely FALSE rumor (sorry, I can't back that up-- at least do yourself the favor of being skeptical). Edit: Confirmed http://

VS2010 made some improvements to this (RC is available here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/dd582936.aspx ). Now you can tear off tabs from the main window and place them on another screen, or tile them on the same screen. Also, n

A small bug: if I want to search for "basket", I'll type "basket" + TAB + [ZIP] + Enter. It looks like your overloading the tab key though, so it selects the first suggestion when I hit tab. You might consider handling suggestions the way G

Microsoft would be foolish to not give away free developer tools. You don't need to purchase anything to use .NET; you can download an ide that comes with a C#, VB.NET, C++/CLI compilers off the bat: http://www.microsoft.com/exPress/ And

Even though I don't own any Apple products, I'm still glad they are around for this reason. More competition in the marketplace is good for me, the consumer, which should go without saying. However, I'm not sure Android is a good example of

Is this meant to be used in lieu of a feed reader, or in complement? At some point you should work on nice error pages, by the way: http://www.socialreader.net/blah/

This is funny, but I doubt there is any actual security flaw. I expect that Microsoft will verify these transaction later on with the vendor and throw them out.

I hate to be pedantic, but I think "negatively correlated" would be more correct. Even though people know what you mean, it gives the phrase less meaning in case you meant to use the technical definition.

It's slower, though. It takes longer to search through the index than to just run the program in the windows directory. For programs I run frequently, I place 1 letter shortcuts in the windows directory. That way, to launch a program I just

Feel free to correct me, but I believe the trust was funding for the ~$5B project that BrisConnections was beginning. If the trust was dissolved, BrisConnetions would be unable to complete their project. In order to protect their project, t

It's eerie for me to read that article; I am also a programmer that skipped high school and recently graduated from UC Berkeley. As far as skipping high school goes, I think I'd recommend it. I was immensely bored in school before I did, an

This is an excellent guide for beginners, and gives a good understanding of how pin tumblers work (and a few other types of locks). Also, there is a good survey of tools and their particular uses. If you are interested in learning about loc

As a matter of personal opinion, I prefer lists to newspaper style layouts. With the new york times site, my eyes wander, never actually reading anything. I lose focus very fast and move on. With HN, though, I will invariably read every tit

Sometimes it's helpful to think in contrapositive: would it be more regrettable to miss that year of high school, or to miss other opportunities that time could afford you? I, in fact, skipped all four years of high school, and opted to go

http://openphotovr.org/ is really cool, good work! I uploaded a small set, and it was very easy to make a 3d scene. I'm sure people would be willing to pay to be able to host a viewer on their own site. For example, companies may put a 3d

I think karma can be very informative-- it gives me an idea of what the majority viewpoints are .

My biggest problem is getting on track. Once I've started working, I really get into it and I can't pull myself away for anything; food, sleep, etc. The best trick for getting started is attacking some small, even trivial, task that doesn't

I've found bing results to be comparable to google so far (mostly identical), but bing just lost a lot of respect from me: search: "learn you a * for great good" Bing returns no results .. it doesn't respect the wildcard.

I got a lot of practice at these 'tricks' while taking a few chemistry classes; all multiple choice. It was excellent practice too since I attended classes but did not study, so the answer was somewhere hidden in my mind, associated to what

I like the design. I knew immediately what it was. It might be nice to be able to list a job that I need done as well, instead of hunting for a someone that I think could do it.

From a business perspective, making a Porsche-caliber android phone doesn't make too much sense for Google. As far as I know, their business objectives include 1) getting as many possible people online with their cellphones searching the we

I see your point now, thanks for elaborating. As it stands, I use my desktop for dev work, which I wouldn't think of putting Chrome OS on, but, I still am eager to put it on my laptop.

I like the idea. While crowd-sourcing is good in many areas, sometimes it "feels" good to interact with a company. I could definitely imagine myself using your service, especially with the no risk free license. On the usability side, I had

"... but if they want good stuff dev'd on it" I think this completely misses the point. Applications are web apps. You're not supposed to dev for the OS. Edit: formatting

I wonder if putting brainfuck on my resume would get me in the door, or thrown out the door.
