Sorry bro - but you wish it was only 1%. Business users are notoriously slow to upgrade. We are seeing about 6% users with IE6. The majority of our users are IE7 with about 30%.
Well said. That is exactly my story. I already had a programming job when I went to college. Eventually, I worked full time and finished my schooling at night. When I finally got my piece of paper, I got a raise. That pissed me off since nothing in my job changed, but I guess it was company policy.
Exactly. I'm 58 and have managed to get/stay more physically fit than most people I know in their 30s. I do so because I don't want my later years to be unbearable.
I hope that works. You don't know how many of the old wrecks you see stayed physically fit all their lives, and old age still caught up with them. My dad cycled over 100 miles a week until damage to his joints made that impossible.
I think that points to a different problem. My Dad used to do morning exercises every day, including deep knee bends that he learned in the army. Now his knees are for sh1t and he can barely walk. I keep myself healthy and exercise, but I try to do low impact activities.
On planet Earth, weight and mass) are roughly the same thing. I read the blurb to mean measuring the gravitational force on a molecule. I wonder if they used any experiments in space to get a baseline to measure against?
Well said. I have the same setup - dual 1920x1200 16:10 monitors and can't imagine doing my job on 16:9 screens. My corporate laptop is also 16:10 1680x1050. I can't stand my wife's 16:9 laptop.
Bottom line is you just have to pay more to get the "proper" resolution.
"Shadow of the Beast" has great game play? You're kidding, right? If great game play means ripping your hair out, wailing, and gnashing your teeth, then yes. It was indeed the coolest game of the time (I played on the Amiga 2000) with mutli-plane parallax scrolling and amazing music. The dark underbelly was the cruel restart from the beginning after dying. If a game transitions from fun to torture is it still a game? I still have emotional scars from that beast.
... for example not claiming MS is dead, but pointing out that MS has become like IBM in how it operates.
Heh - I was just telling my brother who works at Microsoft that they are the new IBM. I sort of meant it as a compliment. Big companies can rarely continue innovating and winning in new spaces, so you might as well hunker down in the trenches and set yourself up for the long haul.

Nice sig. I made that choice back in 1987 - a color Mac went for $5K. I bought an Amiga 2000 instead for $1K. I don't even look at Apple elitist products.
There is a decent hybrid solution available for SSD. With the Intel Z68 chipset, you can setup an SSD as a cache for the primary hard drive. It is configured similar to RAID. This allows me to get the capacity of an HD with the performance gains of an SSD. However, I have not been able to easily quantify the performance gains.

Sure, but if the company goes belly up in 15 years who is going to pay the lawyers to go after the hackers?
While we love to live in our virtual worlds, we are bound by the constraints of the physical world. Our bodies were not designed to be sedentary. I am a full fledged coder + gamer, but the thing I love most is doing things in meatspace.
Sure, we love to reminisce about week-long coding frenzies fueled by Mountain Dew and pizza, but it has consequences.
I may download this book for my newly acquired Kindle Fire.

I will add to the litany of long-term/. readers that are horrified by this feeble attempt to expand/. You are trying to squeeze blood from a stone and targeting the very thing that/. has always avoided.
When the content and polls on this site are directed by marketing trolls fueled by bean counting business types it is time to say goodbye.
Consider yourself warned. Bank of America realized their foolishness and changed before it was too late.
How about we just stop the silly burning of carbon based fuels and find more modern fuel sources? Let's leave climate change out of the equation and just do what is right.
What if I add "using computers" or "using The Internet"? Can I apply for a patent for "Method of not falling off the Earth through the application of gravity and The Internet"?
I'm glad to see "book burning" is alive and well in America. I guess that's what the conservatives mean by restoring America. Now we just need to find some really cheap labor.

Yes, it is a QA nightmare testing for all flavors of browsers.

Billions and billions of molecules...

BTW, don't be confused by these weights and masses.

There is a great song that sums up this whole fracas.

Would you like some cheeze with that whine?
Next step would be tests on space-based mining, factories and farms[2]. These can be done concurrently.
Then space colonies, and self-sustaining space colonies.
First target - LV-223. I hear there are some nice eggs there ripe for harvesting.

Let's get the factories built. It will also create jobs.
