It's a decent IDE, refactoring tools are a bit crap though. Personaly I use resharper plugin for my VS 2008, which makes VS work a bit more like IntelliJ (the bestest Java IDE ever), but it's dotnet only. However, there's a free tool for VS out there called Refactor. Never tried it so cannot say if it's good, but migt be worth a try.
to MS (slighly feeble) defence, they cannot really go and look at the implementation of open source versions of the formula as they risk tainting their code (unless it's BSD style licences of course). Same reason as why we should not look up patents!!
as far as I know linking to a GPL library will cause your code to be a derivate work, as far as I know only gcc is excepted from this. That's why FSF created the LGPL licence. (even if they don't want you to use it)
utter rubbish, in an informal environment like this wikipedia is fine. Indeed you should not use it in papers and such, that' splain silly, but for a quick lookup of fact, together with a quick check if the content seems unreasonable or not, it's fine
actually 4 and 5 are stable, from wikipedia: In contrast to the collinear Lagrangian points, the triangular points (L4 and L5) are stable equilibria (cf. attractor), provided that the ratio of M1/M2 is greater than 24.96.[5][6] This is the case for the Sunâ"Earth and, by a smaller margin, the Earthâ"Moon systems. When a body at these points is perturbed, it moves away from the point, but the Coriolis effect bends the object's path into a stable, kidney beanâshaped orbit around the point (as seen in the rotating frame of reference). However, in the Earthâ"Moon case, the problem of stability is greatly complicated by the appreciable solar gravitational influence.[7]
oh, I thought the jvm already put local new'ed objects on the stack rather than the heap if it thought it was possible (i.e. for local objects in a method, etc)
WHy not run the Firefow 3.1 beta with the JIT enabled, maybe not as fast as Chrome, but still damn faster than current firefox release. Don't forget to enable the JIT for the Firefox UI as well
I'd be very suprised if the modern javascript engines suddenly started doing things in multiple threads. The javascript environment has been single threaded since is invention and now intruducing multithreaded behaviour would break a lot of things. Also, ANYTHING that touches the UI on Windows and as far as I know on all the other big OSes must run in the same thread as the UI itself. The DOM is most likely running in the UI thread, hence the workers cannot touch it, not without some sort of synchronisation. In fact, as fast as Chrome's V8 is, I cannot find a single note that it would run in a multithreaded way, surely they put in something like gears, however, they are most likely going to have the same problem as Mozilla with call UI and/or DOM from their workers. Looking at the Gears API, which I assume will be the same for all browser implementing it, it certainly looks like tyhey wont allow it. Sure they might go for the lowest common denominator, but i cannot find anything that says so.
ah, freudian slip, I meant webapps! might be because I work with web ad tech nowadays. but yes, between you and me if it been web ads, not much of value lost;-)
argh, don't joke about it, I actually managed to do a rm -rf / on a our live server, serving all our webads to clients, (I typed in/home/foo/bar / , which deleted the dir bar as well as most whole drive before I managed to stop it with cntr-c). All this while explaining the care one must take when using rm -rf while logged in as root to a junior developer. The system actually continued to run, as all neccessary programs were still in memory. Basically noone where allowed to touch it in case it'd brake while I build a mirror of the server on a VPS, which we switched over to while rebuilding the real server. THese were moments of agony
Maybe you cannot prove that Got doesn't exists, however, I see it as EXTREMELY unlikely considering all we know. If god existed and operate within our physical world, then who created him? I believe in KISS and the world of science provided a far simpler and logical, and even more beautiful, solutions to why we are here than any old god oh and regarding the stone hitting the floor, unless there are other forces working on it than gravity - it will hit the floor every time, it's the law around where we are!;-)
"Because the magnetic field has never been observed to reverse by humans with instrumentation, and the mechanism of field generation is not well understood, it is difficult to say what the characteristics of the magnetic field might be leading up to such a reversal. Some speculate that a greatly diminished magnetic field during a reversal period will expose the surface of the earth to a substantial and potentially damaging increase in cosmic radiation. However, Homo erectus and their ancestors certainly survived many previous reversals. There is no uncontested evidence that a magnetic field reversal has ever caused any biological extinctions. A possible explanation is that the solar wind may induce a sufficient magnetic field in the Earth's ionosphere to shield the surface from energetic particles even in the absence of the Earth's normal magnetic field [8].
Although the inspection of past reversals does not indicate biological extinctions, present society with its reliance on electricity and electromagnetic effects (e.g. radio, satellite communications) may be vulnerable to technological disruptions in the event of a full field reversal."
rubbish, ie ran in circles around netscape 4.x, which sucked, pardon my french, donkey cock. Yes bundling ie helped a lot, but to say that ie 4 and 5 were worse than ns 4.x is not true. THere's a reason why the mozilla guys decided to scrap the whole 4.x code base and start from scratch with the gekko engine.

well, with google geaars you can run gmail and doodle docs offline as well.
windows gf are cool, as long as you remember to protect yourself!
OMG, that looks exactly like my wifi router back home! and my gf is working from home today!
noes!
no worries you can use it with dot net too! ;-)
Honestly though, spring is cool stuff, try it out.

indeed, like Stockholm
Good, but not as good as this one for Windows 386. A classic....

yes, I looked that one up AFTER this happened, of course too late by then, but will hopefully prevent future disaster.

there is, however, a certain monopolized desktop market that MS is using to expose their browser to everyone

well, might be tought to work in an environment full of moon dust, as it has been found to be extremevly abrasive and potentially very dangerous for humans.

...it's a glandular problem....
well, with html 5 we all will have the video tag so there's a solution in sight - hopefully!
well, we know for a fact it occured quie a few times before, and our atmosphere is still here.
Wikipedia describes it quite well:

with google gears installed on your computer, very well actually!
