Something simple, for example working out orbit periods, camera f-stops, ie. something you've an interest in. You can pull the basic maths from wikipedia articles. Then you can work on writing the code around them. From there you you can learn how to use GUI elements to make it fluffier - you can use datatables to display the results, GDI+ to draw graphical representations of results, etc.
Personally, I've always found it difficult to learn a new language by just reading about it and trying to follow examples. By having a target, no matter how simple helps me learn a lot faster. For example, I came across Kerbal Space Program a while ago, so I decided I needed some help planning orbits, transfers, etc. So I read up on orbital mechanics and wrote a couple of tools to help me visualise how to do things. In that case I decided to use Javascript because it was quick and dirty. It was also a great opportunity to learn to use the HTML5 Canvas to draw the Hohmann transfer diagram.
I use my mobile as a WiFi hotspot regularly so that I can use my (non-3g) tablet. It'll be interesting to see what Vodafone's coverage will be like at Weymouth tomorrow (got offered a ticket by a mate). It wouldn't surprise me that LOCOG will manage somehow to degrade 3g coverage to get people onto BT's network.
It's very easy to get around and also means that license payers abroad can't use iPlayer, including servicemen. I'm quite happy paying my license fee, and don't really see why I should help fund free viewing for the rest of the world. However, I don't think they're using the best option.
I'd prefer to have a login that is provided when I pay for my license fee. The BBC could then stream concurrently to [for example] 4 clients using the same login details.
I've set myself up a proxy in work so that I can use iPlayer when abroad - works very nicely too.
Great, so not only will we have a dinosaur, it'll also be able to drive around unimpeded in a large piece of mobile artillery. How is that not a bad idea?
It's apparently not illegal, but it doesn't stop you from over reacting and preventing people from entering the country, especially when all they're doing is using some UK slang and quoting from Family Guy. Border security even looked through their luggage for shovels.
If you're expecting the state to pay because you throw your toys out of the pram then everything should be made public.
Don't want your dirty laundry aired in public, then either grow up or pay an independent arbitrator to make the decision. What is it with people wanting to eat their cake and have it too?
Can you explain why. Like a lot of things in life it seems to go against what one would think. For example, the transit of Venus occurs twice about every 120 years, I would have thought the transit would occur 1.6 times a year (365 / 225), if our orbits were in the same plane.
Yup, I had the exact same thought when I was joking about the idea of having standard and performance enhanced groups. My concept for the performance enhanced athletes was a bit more cynical though - You're allowed to take as much of whatever drug you want, as long as you're alive when you cross the line you win, posthumous awards are allowed.
On a serious note, I don't get the idea of cheating. I sail and there are is a woman (an ex olympic national catamaran sailor) who is renowned throughout the fleet as a cheat, and she just doesn't care. She'll do anything to win. I'm competitive, but I'll put my hand up when I do something wrong. Then again, maybe that means I'm not actually that competitive.
Great, and what percentage of PCs with Windows are required to be PCI DSS compliant? I'd also [like to] believe that sysadmins configuring PCI DSS compliant machines would be using an image rather than configuring the machines individually.
Put simply, it's a bloody useful little utility for diagnosing network issues.
Seeing as it's Microsoft, they've probably removed it as it's bloat. After all they removed the telnet client from the default install to reduce space. Apparently it was also to improve security, conveniently forgetting that the client isn't the same as the server (which was never enabled by default anyway).
I found it's quicker to download PuTTY than to install all 200k of MS' telnet client. Now I just have a minute USB stick on my keyring that contains PuTTY, Notepad2 and a handful of other useful utilities.
Unfortunately we have two pieces of software that we rely absolutely on which store user data in Program Files. I've tried informing them that there's no way in hell that they should be doing that, and that that is what %ALLUSERSPROFILE% is there for. Their response, "that's the way we've always done it, so live with it" <sigh>
Fine so it's not general, but guess what, my Galaxy Nexus on both ICS and MJB have done exactly this. No scrollbar is visible in the browser or lists (I just checked) until I touch the screen. When I touch the screen a UI hint appears on the right (or bottom), its size is inversely proportional to the length of the page and its location informs you of where you are. Prior art?
I'm pretty sure Unity does something like this, but that's using a scroll wheel not a touchscreen so obviously its a completely different patentable concept. </sarcasm>
I'm not convinced, Khader Aissani's ears appear to stick out a lot wider than those of "Perp 1". I can see more of Aissani's right ear when he's not looking directly at the camera than I can of "Perp 1" when he's looking directly at the camera.
Our websites were rated at C/D, and our intranet was susceptible to BEAST*. It's also quite handy for advising you on what ciphers to disable. All at A now - it's given me a nice warm feeling inside.
* Yes, I know, BEAST was published in September - I know I'm not worth my salt.

No, pot is illegal so the tools for the war on drugs can be sold.

So long and thanks for all the ... fish.
Is that actor Ronald Regan still available?
Nope, apparently he got some kind of management job instead.

As far as I can tell, yes. Or at least, they do in our office.

Yesterday I caught a fish this big.
<0---------------<
Actually, it was quite a poor day, I'd hoped to catch more.
Damn it, there's a time and place for logic, and this isn't it.
Of course a hashmap is better, you just use a 0 (or 1 if you're using VB) based integer as the key. That way if things change you can reuse your code!
for example, in Ireland, Catholics and Protestants really really hate each other. A lot. Or at least, the people in charge of those two groups do.
Actually, we don't (and neither do the church leaders), but don't let your misunderstanding of a complex situation get in the way of your stereotypes.

Brilliant find, I especially love the foam satellite and his comment "it reached escape velocity"
As has been mentioned, no recompiling is necessary:
