  1. Logitech M560 on Ask Slashdot: Where Can You Get a Good 3-Button Mouse Today? · · Score: 1

    It has a small button below the wheel that you can program as the middle button. It's a decent mouse. I'm a happy with it. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/...

  2. Re:rest in peace on John W. Backus Dies at 82; Developed FORTRAN · · Score: 1

    I wish this [cminusminus.org] had become more popular. There's still time. Seen LLVM ? http://llvm.org/
  3. Re:Do we really need another D infomercial? on The D Programming Language, Version 1.0 · · Score: 1

    It seems to me (not having any experience in numerical analysis at all) that the crux of this whole discussion shouldn't be about 80bit float precision, but rather that D requires implementations to have the 'real' type map to the highest supported precision in the hardware.

  4. Re:ASM on Taking Your Programming Skills to the Next Level? · · Score: 1

    I second this. Learning ASM was a major enlightenment for my programming

  5. Re:yes, it turns off VS on IE7 To Ship With Windows Patches Tomorrow [Not] · · Score: 1

    Indeed I do, and Firefox delivers :)

  6. Re:yes, it turns off VS on IE7 To Ship With Windows Patches Tomorrow [Not] · · Score: 1

    sounds like I'm not getting this update then. Thanx for the heads up!

  7. Re:don't want it! on IE7 To Ship With Windows Patches Tomorrow [Not] · · Score: 1

    What do you mean it turns off Visual Studio? That would seem a pretty stupid thing to do...

  8. Re:poor US on US–EU Flight Talks Collapse · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately that will probably not happen again in your lifetime...

  9. Re:What I really want to know... on Chinese Lasers Blind US Satelites · · Score: 0, Troll

    And you consider the US a stable regime?

  10. Re:Didn't we learn on Ubiquitous Computing — The Invisible Assistant · · Score: 1

    Clippy is certainly not proactive. Rather it bugs you when things are already going wrong.

  11. Let us all just wait on The Future of Closed Source Software and Linux · · Score: 1

    Last line of TFA: "Now I guess we will have to wait and see if this will in fact happen."
    Yeah, thats exactly how standards get done...

  12. Let the numbers speak! on Demise of C++? · · Score: 1

    I find it interesting that C++ is supposed to be dying with all those developers using it. The top 3 programming languages on SourceForge (based on number of projects using it): 1. Java (17457 projects) 2. C++ (17281 projects) 3. C (16363 projects) I think this indicates that C++ is quite healthy... I'll definitely stick to for yet a while.
