You are an engineer...Is he? With bathroom sensitivities like that, I'd expect marketing-Shades (October 06, 2011, 01:20 PM)

On the note of him not 'Giving To Charity' for any of you people who are "Hating" on someone who just passed...for reasons NONE OTHER than his lack of charitable nature:"NONE OTHER"? That part of the equation is just a bonus bit, a final "oh yeah, in addition to being a nasty piece of sh*t business-wise, he's also a scumbag in person"... not the sole reason for not mourning his death.-Stephen66515 (October 06, 2011, 01:53 PM)

Oh, I'll try to best that, then:WTF this is the most heartlesssssss comment I read today.Steve Jobs showed little inclination to use his personal wealth for philanthropic purposes.
And, strangely for a self-professed Buddhist, he did not embrace environmental concerns

Seeing fanbois get their knickers in a knot when they can't get their hands on the latest iDevice just because their precious, innovative, company used someone else's tech would make me so happy.That makes two of us. Anything to piss hipsters off makes me a happy camper.-Eóin (October 05, 2011, 10:48 AM)
What options does that leave for Fido, and the BBSs if the internet's TCP/IP v? gets perverted into (Uber regulated) Cable Pay Channels?TCP/CP.-Stoic Joker (October 04, 2011, 01:56 PM)
My guess is +90% of all Windows users?Apart from that, Explorer won't let you create files or folders (or rename files or folders) "without a filename" before the "extension"Correct but who on earth really uses it (there a literally dozens of file managers that do a 10x better job than windows explorer)?-highend01 (October 03, 2011, 02:17 AM)


Samsung is a major supplier for Apple, and I'd love to see them flex some muscle and decapitate Apple. Oh... how sweet that would be~! =P+1.-Renegade (October 04, 2011, 12:01 PM)
I didn't have the luxury of waiting to see how that turns out so I opted to write a portable C++ core and glue it to separate Android/Java and iOS/ObjC user interfaces.I can see how you can glue a C++ core to iOS/ObjC, but how do you do it for Android?-Eóin (September 28, 2011, 09:55 PM)
A lot (perhaps most) software will be able to open and save those files just fine. I've bumped into a fair amount of software with minor quirks, though - usually involved around "getting file extension from after the first '.' in filename", and often related to "tile type" detection. Usually not too big a deal, but an annoyance... and knowing what kind of path-splitting code we wrote back in the DOS days (and the mentality carried forward), I'd advice against leading-dot names for regular files.Pretty bad idea for regular files anyway, since a fair amount of software will break on those files.
Really? I stumbled upon ... zero ... in the last 16 years (since win 95) and I test new software every day...-highend01 (October 02, 2011, 03:28 PM)

We are currently preparing a new Text Expander software with a MS Office like Ribbon user interface:Ribbons are fine when you've got a gazillion different menu items, especially mode and/or context sensitive ones.-BartelsMedia (August 27, 2011, 05:13 AM)

As far as SQL goes, I love it. It's such an elegant language.Right up until you have to do anything remotely complex, when it turns into a nightmare of proprietary vendor extensions, (even more) messed up syntax and horrible performance (cursors, I'm looking at you!), et cetera.-Renegade (September 26, 2011, 08:00 AM)
They abandoned their own technology -Silverlight ?Good question - I don't know if it's going to be in the metro version of IE10 or not, but it'll definitely be available for the desktop version... and .NET applications are first-class citizens for WinRT (the replacement for Win32), silverlight is just another .NET aspect.Man, this is really bad message for all those .NET developers.

Atleast windows tablet will support flash, multi-tasking and many other features that apple failed to do so.Will it, now?... for Metro, anyway. Yeah, you have the option of installing 3rd party browsers, but the message is clear.-mahesh2k (September 16, 2011, 04:51 AM)
