  1. As little as possible on How Many Hours Do You Work in a Week? · · Score: 1

    I'm a consultant in New Mexico and based on my billing records for the past 12 months it looks like an average of 22 hours of billable work per week. I would guess about 10 hours of non-billable work per week (keeping up with technology and internal projects). I prefer to split up the work hours into seven days per week instead of five or six. I never have figured out what I do with the rest of the hours in the day.

  2. How is this better on Open Source Programming Language Design · · Score: 1

    Than Object Pascal as implemented by Borland in Delphi?

  3. I know what you mean on In-Wall Touchscreens for the Home? · · Score: 1

    It would be nice to have a small web browser with a touchscreen for navigation. I ended up using a LCD/touchscreen I got from smarthome.com and replacing the PIC processor. It uses a RS-232 link to a PC-104 386 class processor that runs the network. Color would be nice but even greyscale would be an improvement. The unit I used mounts onto a double wide outlet box, a picture here.

  4. Spaces with automatic indent/unindent on Spaces vs. Tabs? · · Score: 1
    I use Delphi for a lot of my editing, even if I'm not doing Pascal. I have indent sent to 2, so hitting the tab key inserts two spaces. With auto-indent everytime you start a new line it indents over to where the previous line starts. Hitting backspace will move to the left, automatically aligning with the last block up, repeat as needed. Works for me.

    To my surprise I found that delphi understands C syntax and does highlighting if the file suffix is ".c".

  5. Re:Let wardialers and FAXers cycle your UPS... on Open Power Management Console · · Score: 1
    "One trick I used was to put 7 1N4148 diodes in series to drop the power (VB) off of the Velleman board down to 14 volts or so to power the BASIC Stamp"

    Is it just me, or are these diodes in backwords?

  6. Been there, done that on IBM & Carrier in Web-Enabled Air Conditioner Deal · · Score: 1

    For the last year or two. I find it easier to just walk across the room and use the touchscreen.
