Just agree on the astyle flags and don't give it a second thought. You can even get somewhat fancy and add astyle as a check-in hook in your revision control system.
Other than that, don't waste time thinking up clever "best practices" and "standards" that will be forgotten in three days or waste time talking to boring, self-important pedants on slashdot.
I remember walking into a BestBuy circa 1999 and there being a fully stocked quarter isle with Linux distributions. Checking back a little later, it was all gone.
Now they sell boxed Ubuntu sets instead of Redhat and Mandrake; it seems like they are simply returning from whence they came.
It is entirely plausible that computing in general could look very different were different business decisions made. If IBM got to the PC market a few years earlier and was able to design their whole architecture in-house, it is doubtful that the industry would have moved as fast as it did in the 1980s; they would have likely come to market with a miniaturized and crippled version of a System/370.
However, the study make the situation appear worse than it is as they selected all of the "non-computing" for the survey; all the people, who might be predisposed to thinking that computing is not boring, were removed from the sampling pool.
Given a random profession, outside of jobs that fall under the category of adolescent dream (e.g., astronaut, football player or treasure hunter), most day-jobs and careers shall seem boring.
The only way to describe the experience is that it is like paying $21.95 a month for stealing your neighbor's wireless: most pages end up timing out, and forget about anything that requires low latency. Sshing or mstscing is out of the question.
If done right, municipal wireless could be fantastic. But, it seems that a intentionally half-harted effort was made to burn people off of the idea.
Chasing prestige is among the worst reasons to pick a school.
The stock CS undergraduate curriculum is standardized by the ACM. Whatever school you end up picking will have a mix of good professors and not-so-good professors, and the ratio between the two is not caused by the name of university: you will likely learn who is who after a term or two. It's not as if universities other than "prestigious technology schools like MIT or Cal-Tec" pick their tenure-track processors and other teaching staff off of turnip trucks.
Find a place where there are professors that are doing thing that you find interesting and try to do undergraduate research. Specialists are in a given field, by definition, are not going to be evenly distributed among schools: there are some "lesser" schools that have areas that are not as represented at better-ranked institutions.
People typically don't watch cable news to learn about the latest scientific and technological advances; it's moving wall paper that they can watch while half distracted. If you really care about being informed beyond USA Today style graphs and the headlines, try a newspaper, magazine or the Internet. With the increasing availability of broadband Internet connections, functional literacy is essentially optional; there are few barriers to "learning" about pop-science or pop-technology.
Complaining about the scientific content of television programming is as impotent and useful as complaining about the scientific content of a bar or the scientific content of billboards.
According to the fine article, this guy would just happen to have his XBox360 on hand at various events just so he could accost them to sign it. What a fucking sociopath.
The fact his precious molded plastic case was cleaned makes me feel nothing but Schadenfreude: it serves him right for stalking people and placing so much value in a single piece of consumer electronics.
I hope Microsoft summarily ignores this tool while he cries his crocodile tears. How could he not foresee that random parts would be replaced when he sent the console in for RMA service? He is faining outrage: the only reason for pretending to be outraged is to collect even more fabulous prises out of some-kind-of sense of communal outrage.
The "controversy" over military blogs is just more of the same old propagandist model: it constrains public debate between two ultimately irrelevant opinions. Time is wasted over what amounts to whether or not to release viral public relations material; the overt yet tacit decision to limit the access and ability to the real press to cover an unpopular and indefensible aggressive military operation against a formerly sovereign nation goes without question.
That is not to say that the U.S. Press would have were they given the opportunity as the Military-Industrial-Complex beholden them to a general quiescent and submissive position in Uncle Sam's whore house. You can see photos of caskets coming back from Iraq and actual reportage of the war in Der Spiegel but not in The New York Times.
I looked at the fine list before I read the comments. As soon I saw assembly programming, I knew there were going to be a GigaSlashbots opining indignantly and at length and with links and citations that the list is clearly wrong---my god.
The question remains: how does such an awful cross-section of humanity come to congregate together? The only comparable scenario that comes to mind is the brotherhood of Islamic suicide bombers. Slashboters hate anything that calls into question their technical machismo; suicide bombers, the Jews.

Exactly.
The fact that you're developing .NET matters; the fact that you're using it on IIS doesn't.
With Apache interoperability, you'd be able to run .NET internet applications and web services internet wide.
Step 1) Buy 3G iPhone.
Step 2) Violate the TOS by using a p2p application.
Step 3) AT&T terminates the contract.
Step 4) Find a way to unlock the phone.
Step 5) Buy the plan that you want.
I dual-boot between Vista and GNU/Linux.
Just use EasyBCD to configure Vista's bootloader to add an entry.
This reminds me of the Unix Hater's Handbook from the 90's. It's available for download.

Then, I take it you're a big fan of Spamusement.
You can still write in Dr. Paul as a protest to the modern police state that Obama and his neo-con/Saudi/Al-qaeda minders want in the United States.
Spam.

Romansh? Only if she's pushing 80.
Why is this modded troll?

New grads shun work as "boring."

It looks like LeRouche's supporters shall have to invent a new public works project to be the capstone of their New New Deal.
Null routing MediaDefender? So much for Net Neutrality.
How did such a poorly written, presented and researched paper get into Nature? Is it April 1 again?
Thanks, Governor Ronald Reagan.
Is it called DB2?
I'm posting from Feather(tm) in Philadelphia.

And nothing of value was lost.
