I don't really know why, but the thought of my (elderly) mother using this made me laugh almost as hard as the El Risitas guy[1]. I adore it, and it also should never ever be used in any car GPS scenario. It's far too distractin

I have used Beyond Compare for 20 years, and as far as I know, it has always been and still is written in Delphi. Quest Software, maker of TOAD for Oracle was also a big Delphi shop for many years. Not sure if they still are.

Suggestion: Add an "I don't know" button. If I don't know a word, I can admit it - but if I have to guess, then I have a 1/4 chance of getting incorrect credit.

If this is the Trump Administration's "punishment" for "disloyalty", then we are in for a treat. Hopefully US forces can also be withdrawn from Japan, Iraq, Italy, Guam, and the other 180 locations where they are c

I'm pretty sure you are right. Or to emphasize the devaluation, "$100 today would be worth only $3.05 in 1914." I think it is astonishing that we accept that in a best case scenario of sustained 2% inflation, we are literall

I have very fond memories of working with Delphi 5 and 2005 in the early 2000s. Both the language and IDE were a real pleasure to work with, and they were head and shoulders better than anything from Microsoft at that time. The community

I don't think I understand what you are trying to say. Are you suggesting that if a technological advance is sufficiently important, that we should ignore or accept security threats that it poses? That is how I read your comment, but i

As an American, I am also gratified to see the EU take steps toward independence from US foreign policy. Independence doesn't mean enmity; it just means that the EU and US should both be adults in the room, reaching decisions on equal

Assuming that these claims are unsubstantiated, as the article indicates[1], what is the motivation for the Trump administration to put forward this bogus assertion? [1]From the article: A Kenvue spokesperson told CNBC in a statement that &

I am not an expert on SQL/PSM, but I have worked in an Oracle shop before, and used PL/SQL extensively. In SQL Server, the equivalent is T-SQL. T-SQL procedures can do pretty much anything (assuming it is executed by a user with

To be fair, if you imagine a system that successfully reproduced human intelligence, then 'changing datasets' would probably be a fair summary of what it would take to have different models. After all, our own memories, training,

I personally would not be able to sleep well with earplugs. The feeling of pressure in my ears, combined with the 'pushing' of the earplug if I rolled over to lay on my side would be very uncomfortable.

In principle, I do not think the income tax should be replaced by anything at all. Most federal spending is either unnecessary or actively harmful. But practically speaking, I'd suggest a federal sales tax combined with a Universal

I'm going to be that guy and just say that one of the many many harmful side effects of income taxes is the kind of social engineering power it gives politicians, who are neither qualified nor properly motivated to make good decisions

The article suggests that someone from Maine would be reluctant to ask Mississippi for advice, given the stereotypes and biases that all Americans have absorbed over the years. If the Maine Secretary of Education overcame his or her relucta

I think we need to consider what the end goal of technology is at a very broad level. Asimov says in this that there are things computers will be good at, and things humans will be good at. By embracing that complementary relationship, we
