  1. Re:What about the "Object Store"? on Crush/BRiX: An Experimental Language/OS Pair · · Score: 1

    I don't know the details of the brix file browser, however I think it would be a good default to list all the files by the most recent usage.(ie the Documents tab in windows). You can do this with a search in most file browsers, but it brings up all the cookies and trash as well.

  2. frequent feedback and monitoring on Motivating Your Co-Developers? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well assuming you can't fire somebody, I guess you have to pick the people you think are actually capable of performing and monitor them frequently, via emails and daily face to face discussions, the rest, just make sure they aren't on your next project team.

  3. Re:O'Reilly quality has gone down on JavaScript : The Definitive Guide, 4th Edition · · Score: 1

    When I was doing web programming the 2nd edition was the most popular reference book we had. The section on dragging and dropping was excellent, the reference material was very useful. Thought it was a great book.

  4. Re:Regular Expressions Haven't Changed on Next Generation Regexp · · Score: 1

    The basics are the same with a few addons, but when implementing new regex packages its useful to know performance issues and usage caveats.

  5. Software Assurance on Contracts Contracts Contracts · · Score: 1

    The article has a link to new microsft contracting scheme. http://news.com.com/2100-1001-919097.html Microsoft seems to be quite an arrogant vendor, in the long run could help some of the other guys gain some market share.

  6. giant rock on Digital Dark Ages? · · Score: 2, Funny

    If a giant rock hits the planet killing all the humans but leaving all the hard drives then we might have trouble. As it is, valuable information will continue to be transferred to newer better technology, much more so than any other time in history.

  7. shootemup on Nintendo Hires Walking Gamers · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't try this approach with Quake III. People might get the wrong Idea.

  8. air car on Alternative-Fuel Vehicle Recommendations? · · Score: 1

    Mexico City has ordered 40,000 of these air cars... http://www.globalstewards.org/aircar.htm

  9. website link ... publishing. on Talk To Xanth Creator Piers Anthony · · Score: 1

    On your website there is a section for online publishing. Has anyone begun a successful writing career through any of these websites?

  10. Re:And now ged rid of the legacy on U.S. House of Representatives Makes Resolutions in XML · · Score: 1

    Schemas can be developed with backwards compatability to the dtd's. When implemented they would just find errors in the existing documents to be corrected.

  11. 2600 review on Atari's 30th Anniversary · · Score: 1

    After reading some of the posts I pulled out my Grand Pa's 2600 from the attic and played some combat and basketball. I gotta say the graphics are terrible, and I can get better sound from the internal speaker on my pc. I think the ps2 is way better!

  12. Re:Woe is.. on Moby Says Techie Fans = Fewer Sales · · Score: 1

    If the techie crowd was impacting record sells more than cassette tape copying, then why did the first album sell so well?

  13. Re:other forces? on The Music Biz Is the New Book Industry · · Score: 1

    Elimination of monopolized marketing trends is a nice idea, however... Eventually the entertainment/software industry will devise many proprietary hardware/software/legal setups which will turn things back to their favor. If we can keep the internet open and cheap those of us who are not so easily ammused can still find great wealth!
