GWT on AppEngine (which it has great integration for) has a ten second startup time when not loaded, and on the free tier they unload it when not in use, so that's not the greatest. I used GWT for a while and it would be great for ente

I've used them all but settled on Themeforest. Yes you can make your own, but why would you when you can choose something that's already well designed for a couple of dollars. Save the design practice for the app itself.

I built a tool for visual interpretation of test results against requirements. It was pretty cool and I'm sure large engineering companies would use it if they knew they needed it. I learned that you should go niche, but find a niche w

It's actually all just pointers to data, so when you change something it makes a new node and copies a few new pointers so the new tree is still correct. All of the old data and pointers that aren't changed stay exactly where they

I thought it was interesting that they named companies who'd settled. It would be interesting to make a site isettled.com where people could leak that a company had settled to trolls. The idea being that you'd have to weigh the co

Actually 'I was just following orders' is not a defence. It's every soldiers obligation to question the moral standing of their orders. An illegal order, such as being told to bomb a church/mosque/hospital is invali

Doing the checks on landing doesn't address security though (rather than just drugs), so the airport checks are definitely pointless from that point of view. It's to show the public that politicians are 'tough on crime',

The state gets addicted to the revenue, people spend more time looking at their speedometers instead of the road, and the limits keep going down (instead of becoming more realistic) because the 'think of the children' crowd is jus

So true, it's the abuses of these laws that really catch the general public's attention, until that happens it's all academic. And this is a real life example that really strikes home to the heart of all journalists. Short of

Agreed, for enterprises (who also have the $$) the cloud is dead. Giving your data to a third party is now the same as waving it around it public, thanks to the US government. I had hope for a while, but not after seeing Keith Alexander lie

The lazer tag could be incredibly awesome, since you can actually see all the lazers coming at you, and with none of the range and safety issues that come with paintball. You could conceivably play it as a team event in your own office usin

Surely the true engineers would take all of that free time and build amazing things, free from any worry about success or failure. I know I'd love to have some amazing AI or robotics lab, pay modest salaries to some computer scientists
