I prefer to imagine the world where windows version names mirror street fighter version names. "Super Windows X Turbo: World Warriors Edition" sounds pretty sweet to me.

Accurate and fast facial recognition (combined with cheap public cameras and abundant cheap storage) is one of the few technologies that makes me truly dread possibility. I don't want to live in a world where all travel outside of my h

I see talent. This is a nifty display of technical prowess. I don't see discipline or any concern for the experience of the user. Having spent some time in the explorer section, what I see is something pretty, but unreadable. After the

I concur. It wasn't until I started working with an OSS guy that I realized how different (sometimes frustratingly so) the OSS mindset is. I wont try to draw any conclusions here because I don't know how much of our personal confl

I am totally behind the spirit of your article. I also believe it's a travesty that we have so much power that can be attained so cheaply, yet we aren't using it at home.

It's a big industry out there. There are those who make bespoke products, and those that take a number of pre-built more general purpose libraries and just stitch them together, and everything in between. Stitching together libraries i

I think I see where you're coming from. Correct me if I am wrong. If I were solving the same problem: public void CreateBooking( int chosenBookingType,... ){ ... - and - public string[] GetAvailableBookingTypes(){ ... or something simi

I'd much rather have a second image with a gray scale depth map. I took a look at the lytro, but it appears they have some weird proprietary image format.

How is debugging different in Visual Studio than in the tools usually used for debugging the Linux kernel? I work in Visual Studio on things that have nothing to do with Linux and am ignorant of the profundity of this product.

Bart de Smet's book "C# 5 unleashed" is a good place to start. It's an excellent resource and takes you from beginning concepts far into advanced ones. It's really all I'd recommend without any more information

If you wanted to make a version with a live UI that's monitoring a stream instead of a file, I suggest Reactive Extensions. It adds support for IObservable, the stream version of IEnumerable (what LINQ is used against). Once you get yo
