For Windows developers we need only go back to Windows 95. An innovative way to present data to the end user was introduced called the listview control. In its most common usage it can be programmed to act like a grid. It can also be programmed to present icons representing the data which looks extremely similar to the presentation of applications on popular modern devices.
About the only reason I don't switch over to linux is due to the sheer number of distros. They remind me of a salesman pitching snake oil to cure your o/s constipation.
Until we understand biological intelligence, until we understand how the brain works, until then, and only then will someone be able to create artificial intelligence.
My favorite solution to this problem is to leverage a 3rd party solution to do the heavy lifting that creates the actual PDF document and tie into it with printing code. When you setup the printer device and print mode correctly you can render your output in a print document as you would to the screen. The only changes are in calculating DPI because the screen and printer will have different dots per inch. I have done this on Windows using 2 techniques. The first was long ago and that was to use an installed post-script printer driver to "print to a file" and then have ghost script convert PS to PDF. As far as I know this is still a free and open solution. The makers of Ghostscript only clause to freedom of usage is that the software can't be for commercial usage. The second manner is to have your software look for a virtual PDF printer driver and "print to file". When you install Foxit PDF it installs a virtual PDF printer driver that can be used by code.
When Obama took the podium and showed off all the citizens that are going to benefit from the ACA he fielded a question about the website crashing and he cited that Apple had bugs in its latest rollout and they fixed them but that didn't mean that Apple was a failure. Obama loves Apple. (period)
All this is great, hoorah, pom pom, etc. but when will my Nexus 7 be able to watch Amazon Instant Video? BTW - Installing Firefox beta and an old version of flash that deliver a laggy pixelated experience is not ever a solution, it is just a geek work around. A solution would be an Amazon Instant Video application for the Nexus 7. I am surprised it doesn't exist since there is one for iPad, Wii, and PS3. I can't understand what Amazon gains by limiting access to their pay content from the Nexus 7. I mean they sell their devices at a break even or loss price so it can't be because of that.
Does anyone have a sane answer or is this just Amazon sticking it to Google?
You won't need source control until you start using it and then you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. Then you'll start making wild changes because, hey, you have source control now so you can always roll back. This quickly leads to needing a testing environment.
It is Microsoft's own poor practices to saturate the market with their product that they are even in this predicament. Many in the tech community, whether enthusiast or professionals, have known that Windows is very fast and responsive when it is installed and configured properly. It can even be secured decently for consumer grade usage. Microsoft hurt their own brand by letting OEM's have free reign to dump all over their brand with buggy, unsupported bloat ware that cripples a new PC right out of the box.
I'm wondering if anyone has coined "fauxgrammer" or "fauxder". I see the authors point about Ruby and NoSQL but even though JavaScript gets a bad rap I thought it was actually a useful, object oriented language that is constantly being improved upon as internet glue.... I'm a C++ guy but I see the merits of a language that is poised to tie the cloud to the ground. I think the referred to culture problems stem from companies that hire multiple programmers to do the same job but as individuals and not as a team, where one solution will be picked. It has got to be a stressful way to write code, being slaved to your terminal because of ego, knowing your peers are working on it as well. That seems like an environment that isn't good for fostering trust.
I felt both the 4.8 and 5.6 EQ. We have severe rain today. Tomorrow it will probably be 115 again and the day after -31 with a tornado in the middle of a blizzard that has an embedded sand-storm. This state gets weirder by the minute. The best part about it are all the tee shirts coming out of the boutique shops like "I survived Okiequake 2011". Another funny one is a picture of a lawn chair tipped over with the caption "Okiequake 2011: Time to rebuild"
It seems like some brilliant person could discern the fractal pattern of file copying and estimate the time more accurately than the current method. Copying files is basically a self repeating pattern. Move 1 bit to 1 bit, Move 1 byte to 1 byte, move 1 word to 1 word, etc.. No matter what resolution you examine the problem from you are at once dealing with the same pattern and thus it is in the realm of fractal geometry.
I submit that our civilization is currently unable to affect the milky way in a negative manner. With this premise it is unlikely that an alien armada would even be dispatched to destroy us due to the cost of resources. I further submit that if we ever do become able to affect the milky way that we must be sufficiently advanced to the point where destruction of our own world by our own hand is impossible. This seems like a thought exercise with a "green" agenda behind it.
Coding is just an application of CS. The two disciplines just need better separation. CS can be taught classically using pen and paper, or tablets and stylus' if you prefer.
Assuming that you will have a laptop you could use a majicJack. I know it seems gimmicky but based on your requirements it is a perfect application. I think it would be cheaper as well if all you have to buy is the MJ. Just a thought...
I also don't understand his logic. If his logic were based on finding a machine that performed equivalently but using less power then his quest would make more sense. It seems that he is biased towards performance without factoring in power consumption. Pushing power hungry systems on an enterprise means higher TCO.
Having said that, he should use Prime 95 and figure out a way to feed the output into some charting software. He would at least get the benefit of detecting deficient hardware.
I recently cut myself off from COX cable + DVR + HD + Digital phone. I upgraded to 12 mbps down / 2 mbps up internet. I was too lazy to unplug the coax from the TV's. I discovered that the free OTA channels are still being delivered over cable. I still get the main network channels in digital and HD along with some local programming. This is a perfect setup. I guess they don't stop delivering the freebies when you are getting cable based internet. My TV's have streaming NETFLIX and Amazon as well as main channels for news, sports, etc... One TV has a PS3 with games and NETFLIX. My cable bill went from $136 to $59

Run skype on your shiny fondle slab and stop bitching. If that is not good enough for you then run Apples version of video chat.

Ming, where are you? When is the hot hail coming?
Sell It, get out, create something new, just like Steve Jobs said....
Someone needs to explore a tablet that is round, with a round screen, and does everything in polar coordinates. That ought to halt IP litigation...

Perhaps they are going back to the roots of the word "Geek" by trying to eat the competition.
