- What if we could use computers without all the little annoyances that constantly irk us? What if you applied common sense to how computers and PDAs and cellular phones worked, and let the simple things be simple again without losing all the richness and variety of tasks you can perform with them? >>>>>>>> [Read more] |

- Horn is correct that click-and-drag methods were invented at Apple and not at PARC (or elsewhere, as far as I know). I created this method for moving objects and making selections after finding the Xerox click-move-click method prone to error. Bill Atkinson extended the paradigm to pull-down menus. This all happened relatively early in the history of the Mac. The way my insight got extended by Bill was typical of how things developed then. |

- He started working at the Xerox Corporation while still a computer science student at the Rochester Institute of Technology. In 1981, he started working for Apple on the Lisa project and he continued his work on the Macintosh, principally writing the Finder and Mac system utilities. From 1987 to 1996, he was the chief architect and Apple Fellow for the Newton, where he led the specification and development of the user interface of Newton, shepherded the team of software developers, and wrote many portions of the built-in application software. From 1996 until 2001, Capps was the user interface architect at Microsoft. His early work at Microsoft resulted in the Internet Explorer Search, History, and Favorites panes. |

- During the initial testing of Greylisting in mid-2003, it was observed that the vast majority of spam appears to be sent from applications designed specifically for spamming. These applications appear to adopt the "fire-and-forget" methodology. That is, they attempt to send the spam to one or several MX hosts for a domain, but then never attempt a true retry as a real MTA would. From our testing, this means that in the test environment, based on a fairly conservative interpretation of testing data, we have attained an effectiveness of over 95%, and that is with no legitimate mail ever being permanently blocked. >>>>>>>> [Read more] |

- One interpretation of 12% more, since it once had 10%, is that it now has 22% fruit juice. That would be 12 more percent; not the exact same wording, but ad writers are not mathematicians and cannot be held to precise standards of expression. Of course, the change from 10% to 22% is a 220% increase of the original 10% so marketing would probably have used the larger number. Come to think of it, the increase itself was 120% of the original amount of juice. |

- One claim that is obviously false without requiring testing involves weighted rims that are sold for audio CDs. The makers claim that the added mass will help the CD spin at an unvarying rate. This is true. People who know a bit of physics are aware that a greater mass is accelerated less by a given force, so any disturbing force will have less effect on the rate of spin of a heavier disk. The makers also claim that this will make the CD sound better with less "wow" or "flutter," which on tape recordings or vinyl records was the result of uneven motion of the recording medium. |

- And I have the ultimate respect for Paul Graham -- I think there's a good probability that in a year or two we will credit him with being the man who solved spam. But I think that if you try to ignore the fact that millions of programmers around the world have learned lisp and don't prefer to use it, you're in the land of morbid cognitive dissonance. And this attitude that "lisp is only for leet programmers so it's good because only l33t programmers will work on our code so our code will be extra good" is just bullshit, I'm sorry. Plenty of brilliant programmers know lisp just fine and still choose other languages. Most of them, in fact. |

- Overall, I think that the goals worth striving for are truth, beauty and justice. Goals such as success and fun are not bad, but they are not everything. To adopt them as one's primary goals, as many people do, is a fundamental error: it is to aim too low, to have too small an ambition in life. One you have taken care of your needs for survival and some basic comforts, it's time to try to put some of your effort into making the world a better place. |

- "What, you mean using terminals and such?" I asked him, vaguely remembering my dad's sheaf of teletype output from many years before. He replied yes, and although I still had no particular interest in the subject (my futuristic idea of what computers were having been replaced by a more mundane belief that they were good only for sending out bills and Readers Digest junk) I thought I'd give it a go anyway. It had to be better than needlework or cookery or somesuch, and, if I didn?t like it, it was a potentially skiveable ? |

- Although many operating system textbooks offer highlevel descriptions of file systems, few go into sufficient detail for an implementor, and none go into details about advanced topics such as journaling. I wrote this book to address that lack of information. This book covers the details of file systems, from low-level to high-level, as well as related topics such as the disk cache, the file system interface to the kernel, and the user-level APIs that use the features of the file system. Reading this book should give you a thorough understanding of how a file system works in general, how the Be File System (BFS) works in particular, and the issues involved in designing and implementing a file system. >>>>>>>> [Read more] |

- Torvalds said he was "a bit disgusted" at Intel for not even mentioning AMD in its documentation or its press releases.

- What solution to choose is a decidedly non-trivial solution for most people. Generally speaking for most businesses I think going with Red Hat Enterprise products is the best solution, both from pure cost and also to ensure a smooth transition. Switching to another Linux vendor has very little benefit, significant cost will be incurred in the transition, retraining, and the cost of the product. >>>>>>>> [Read more] |

- Look, I used to be a program manager at Microsoft, and there's a really strong tendency in that culture to treat customer requests as fun intellectual challenges to be fended off like exercises in debating class. But I've been talking to customers since the days of the Visual Basic 1.0 runtime in 1991 -- thirteen years ago! who have been begging for this problem to be addressed. Jason, why don't you go talk to somebody on the FoxPro team. |

- The Kernel Janitors project kept (and in fact is still keeping) a list of smaller bugs and cleanups that needed to be fixed. Many of these bugs or cleanups are caused by a larger patch going into the kernel that requires changes to many parts of the code, such as something that would affect device drivers. Those who are new to kernel development can work on items from this list, allowing them a chance to benefit the community while learning how to write kernel code on smaller projects. >>>>>>>> [Read more] |

- In the struggle to meet deadlines, I think pretty much all programmers have put in comments they might later regret, including swearwords and acerbic comments about other code or requirements. Also, any conscientious coder will put in prominent comments warning others about the trickier parts of the code. Comments like "UGLY TERRIBLE HACK" tend to indicate good code rather than bad: in bad code ugly terrible hacks are considered par for the course. It would therefore be both hypocritical and meaningless to go through the comments looking for embarrassments. |

- Remember, the evil of duplication is that it greatly complicates the maintenance of a code base: if you need to make a change, you have to remember to alter 'n' different things. So even though the artifacts may contain duplicate, you never have to maintain that code directly: you always go back to the original input, which contains no duplication. >>>>>>>> [Read more] |

- The recipe for Coca-Cola is one of the most closely guarded secrets in the world. Yet a small Canadian software firm has sold 150,000 cans of a rival fizzy cola, which tastes very like Coke, and has made the recipe public. The firm behind the drink, Opencola, makes software, not drinks. It used the drink (and its open recipe) as a metaphor for the most important trend in software today. >>>>>>>> [Read more] |

- Most software engineers don't set out to create 'bad designs'. Yet most software eventually degrades to the point where someone will declare the design to be unsound. Why does this happen? Was the design poor to begin with, or did the design actually degrade like a piece of rotten meat? At the heart of this issue is our lack of a good working definition of 'bad' design. |
