  1. Where are cooking resources going in the tech age? on Ask Nathan Myhrvold What You Will, Live Q&A April 3 · · Score: 1

    As an early owner/adopter of your physical book, "Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking", I have to say that the searching system (in particular, the index and table of contents) is unusually poor and the books are somewhat unwieldy (they are larger and heavier than my Larousse Gastronomique and the box they arrived in my country in came marked with a "warning: heavy" label), therefore making the information contained less-accessible while the books themselves are clearly pushing the boundaries of practical usability.

    You have said that you do not plan to publish an e-book which has led me to prefer and use an electronic PDF over my own physical copy. Can you explain your reasoning behind that decision and, more generally, where do you see the future of cooking "books" and other resources going?

  2. Dude looks like a lady. on Nokia and RIM Respond To Apple's Antenna Claims · · Score: 1

    She? Fiancé is male.

    Fiancée would be the female.

  3. Site works fine and ASP.NET 4 just released. on Microsoft .Net Libraries Not Acting "Open Source" · · Score: 1

    1. referencesource.microsoft.com works just fine.
    2. There isn't anything new on the blog likely because they've been busy working on ASP.NET 4 which was only released on April 12 so let's give them a few weeks of sleep-ins before we starting beating them up, m'kay?

    So that just leaves you with... a couple of people's questions went unanswered on a forum.

  4. Silverstripe built the demcon site. Ask them. on Linux Not Supported For Democratic Convention Video · · Score: 1

    Silverstripe http://www.silverstripe.com/ built the demcon site. You could do worse than try asking them. They're a pretty decent bunch of guys. Disclaimer: I don't work for Silverstripe, but my friend does.

  5. Hasbro only avail in 2 countries. Thanks Hasbro. on Hasbro Sues Makers of Scrabble-Like Scrabulous · · Score: 5, Informative

    How about Hasbro makes an application that isn't only available in America and Canada before they spoil our fun?

  6. The Audio Critic on James Randi Posts $1M Award On Speaker Cables · · Score: 1

    Sadly, these sort of reviews are commonplace, http://www.stereophile.com/ being the worst offender. These people give us music lovers a bad name.

    Luckily, there's http://www.theaudiocritic.com/. This great old guy measures gear using lab bench equipment and double blind listening tests at levels matched within +/-0.1dB, and posts the results on his website (all free).

    I'm surprised no other /.er posted this. There must be some of out there who love music?

  7. Re:"Good practice" is an outdated concept on Best Programming Practices For Web Developers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm not a contractor - but I like his style.

    I'm a web developer with a successful SAAS product in the market. It's a cool flashy app that's kept us at the front of technology. Yesterday I could have either built a new ajax graph widget for the front page - so we can win another client - or fixed the log in code so it stopped calling the database twice per log in and save me having to order another server.

    Guess which I did? :)

    There are more types of apps and development practices in heaven and earth, Pike65, than are dreamt of in your advice.

  8. If the Robot's running Windows on Robots Teach Autistic Kids Social Skills · · Score: 2, Funny
