I see another FF extension in my future, also this.[^]
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

New built-in camera UI, settings tweaks, on-screen buttons, and more. As long as it doesn't require buying a new phone, I'm happy(ish)

Microsoft's Windows Embedded team seemingly has a new name, and may be expanding to have a broader charter. In the future, everything will have a NetBios address

I believe the HomeOS will be a big thing in the near future and IMHO has taken a long time to really gain credibility. But as with all things uSoft does they always enter late in the game@

Agreed, on all three. I would definitely love to see Microsoft actually start (and more importantly stick with) a trend again.

CentOS project lead Karanbir Singh and a handful of other core CentOS developers are employed full-time by Red Hat. As a result, the CentOS project will become another distribution and community cared for by Red Hat, like Fedora.
If you can't beat 'em, hire 'em.

I use it on a couple machines here at $work. I like it just fine for a production server.

The Internet is a part of our everyday lives. To have active and positive digital lifestyles, we all must play a role in helping to create a better Internet. So Microsoft wants to know: what is the one thing you will do to stay safer online? 1: I told you all about this site. I'm done.

Microsoft programming language climbs into the top 10 of monthly Tiobe language popularity index Is it April 1 already?

Right, and those language surveys are so reliable.

I recently moved from mostly C# to mostly VB.NET but I don't think I am (statistically) significant.
|
|
|
|
|
There can be no other explanation. You bear the blame

Yay - I look forward to a similar result in the "people cycling to work" and "people eating rice" surveys as I did both of those today too.
|

It wouldn't be hard to convince me that one developer switching from C# to VB.NET is statistically significant!
I don't expect there are that many of those.
|
|
|
|
|
I'll offset that. I went to just about all C# from VB.NET.
It doesn't matter to me. I make money writing code no matter what language is specified.

That's the spirit!

To be honest I am pretty much polyglot - although I do have to look up the different syntax for generics and interfaces... but VB.Net has improved since I was last here.

Well, I suppose this will get the anti-VB zealots going.

Joining an open-source community isn't required to land a development job, but it could help Do stuff for free to do stuff for pay

I don't know who these hiring managers are. But if I get a candidate that talks up open-source involvement my first reaction is... "so?"

I can see that if it's used as a way to vet someone's work. See if you like the way they do things and you can also see if they know what they say they do.

See, even if it were to be used as a sort of 'portfolio' I wouldn't know if they were really the ones who did the work. (Decades of people lying in interviews have made me awfully cynical.)
