  2. Found something. on Help Find Steve Fossett · · Score: 2, Informative

    I started cruising around in Google Earth and I found something interesting at 3815'31.05"N,11918'59.08"W . It's about the right size and is not on older maps. How do I report it? The Mechanical Turk interface has no method for reporting except to flag one of the random tiles.

  4. Best process is no process on What Workplace Coding Practices Do You Use? · · Score: 1

    For small operations, less than seven people, establishing up front standards and processes just get in the way. Just get the rudimentaries such as source control, automated builds etc up and running and adapt when neccesary. If you have any problems swivel your chair and ask the relevant person. When you notice the same problem coming up again and again create a policy to avoid that problem.

  5. Author's experience vs. Mine on Initial Review of Microsoft's Acrylic BETA · · Score: 2, Informative

    1. "I downloaded the file 3 different times and each time the file was corrupt. " It downloaded fine for me.
    2. "There's no way to move around the image easily. No scrolls on the side or bottom. " but in fact there are scrolls on the top and bottom, they just look a little different than the usual scrollbars
    3."Another problem is that Acrylic is slow. " but it seemed fast to me.
    4. "Overall, there is nothing outstanding about this product at this juncture." but I thought it had a much more intuitive interface and therefore was easier to use than other similiar software packages.

  7. Let the mindless bashing begin on Mono and dotGnu: What's the Point? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We know that Slashdot posts these kind of articles as bait for the meatheads who think that being against Micro$oft makes everything they say correct. Microsoft bashing is no substitute for thinking. Be free! Think, think!
