Oracle Buys Sun - Gearlog I’m not sure how to feel about this. I know it probably went under a lot of people’s radar, but it almost feels like the passing of a rival. Something you wished would happen earlier, but not something you really wanted to happen

Greetings from the Pacific Northwet. After our recent Snow-pocalypse, we also suffered a run of flooding. Amazingly enough, it wasn't directly due to the 13+ inches of snow I had at my house, it was a combination of the snow and the monumental

WARNING: Rambling and ranting ahead. Read at the risk of losing time you could be spending doing other things! As I noted in my last post, I was to be migrating to FiOS TV on 21-November. Well, first let me say that every person I've talked to on the

Thanks to the intrepid reader, TJ, who notified me that NHL Center Ice was now available on FiOS TV . After 14 years of service, I will bid a adieu next Friday to DirecTV. For those of you wondering why I've been touting FiOS, it's currently

I'm on a pet peeve kick lately and another one of my big ones is WaitFor<Single | Multiple>Object with an INFINITE time out period. You do realize it's INFINITE right? And while you can mitigate the risk of actually spinning forever on an

First apologies for the disappearing act. I would like to say I was trapped under a fallen 10- year collection of Dobb's C++ Journals and couldn't get free, but it'd be a lie. A good lie, but a lie none the less. I would also like to apologize for not

It's actually the 15Mbps / 15Mbps package, but I can't find any test servers that will actually push the 15Mbps up limit, so it may not be a "pure" 15Mbps up, but man is it close. Next question is "why"? It does make it easier to work from home and also

And I'm sad to say that I won't have it ready this weekend. I'll work on it next week I promise. In the mean time, how about we write a kernel in a Managed Language eh? So cool to see they have some proof of concepts going. *Currently playing - Living
