  1. The Elements of Programming Style on Myths About Code Comments · · Score: 1

    For heaven's sake, just read:

    Kernighan, B. W. and Plauger P. J. (1978) The Elements of Programming Style, 2nd edn. McGraw-Hill

    They deal with commenting and its pitfalls perfectly adequately.

  2. Re:Spread the word! on Vatican Debates Possibility of Alien Life · · Score: 2, Informative

    The definitive SF novel is 'A Case of Conscience' by James Blish (winner of the 1959 Hugo).

  3. Re:OSX - 4 gigs RAM, 14 gigs swap?!? on How Much Virtual Memory is Enough? · · Score: 4, Informative

    The VM Size listed in Activity Monitor is not the size of the swapfiles. I'm running on a machine with 1 GB RAM, my VM size is 6.53 GB, but I only have 128 MB of swapfiles. You might find it interesting to intall MenuMeters http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/menumeters/ to keep track of what's going on.

  4. Why do you think M$ bought Connectix? on Microsoft Kills Off Mac IE, Blames Safari · · Score: 1

    In time, I think that Microsloth's Mac unit will produce only one product: VirtualPC. Then, if you want Office for the Mac, you buy Office for Windoze plus VPC, and the same for all other M$ products. It's much cheaper for M$ to maintain just the Windoze code base plus VPC.
