Listening to the radio - that's what cars are for. Mind (in this context) I have the misfortune to live in the UK where music radio stations seem to think that their output should be constant banal chatter from a "DJ" with ju

Cool idea (great demo of the Roslyn tech) but you need to be able to write "Space Invaders" for that true taste of nostalgia. I wonder now if I should have a go at re-creating VB3 - now that was a brilliant introductory programmin

OK I agree, XSD was just a way for pedants to be a pain. But, any form of structured communication that works for humans (and this is a mark-up language that is supposed to work in the human as well as machine spheres) has to include a degr

The whole point of having two sets of comparitors (=== and == in this instance) is that you can use the correct one for any given circumstance. Proscribing the use of one in favour of the other is just woolly thinking.

An attempt to improve the quality of technical search results by using the power of the "crowd". Looks like this is an "add on" to Google so there is no loss of "raw" search data - just hopefully, seeing the be

Stack Overflow is an amazingly useful programming resource - but - like most things has problems. From my viewpoint, the main problem is the drive for "karma". You may visit an interesting question and you will often find that par

If your boss was fired for justifiable reasons then perhaps staying is an option. If it feels that his/her departure was for financial reasons or just plain whimsy then it is time to explore the other options - as fast as you like.

Which at least gives balance to how I feel about Kings (Kings like Saudi Kings in particular) and those who would criminalise anyone who does not believe in their daft religions. Know them for what they are - no friends of democracy, freedo

Don't you just love statements like "and canned and frozen fruit appeared to increase risk of death by 17% per portion" - I could be dead by nightfall. I do look forward to a proper statistical analysis of these results rathe

Surely "style" is more than "use === not ==". That's a tip - and perhaps not worth a lot as a tip if there is not a full explanation to back it up. "Why not?" and "What's wrong with that?" D

Ok - but do you think that (continuing the example) the JavaScript entries do add up to something more than just what Lint says to do? Cos I can see it. I do think there are benefits in more assistance for people with style and structure -
