Comment Re:notion? (Score 1) 217

the possibility that neocotinoids are the main cause of colony collapse has been all over the news in the past two years, outside of north america.

even the new york times picked up on this - http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03...

the harvard research in question has been mentioned, off an on, over the past six months, to a year at perhaps most.

politely - are you sure of what you are claiming?

Comment just not MSDN (Score 1) 352

i've done more harm to my own (and other people's) code by following advice taken from MSDN articles than by any another means.

microsoft have a way of breaking everything, and then writing about it is if they invented the solution.

except their solutions never work.

the number of times i have had to rewrite server code, socket code, locking code, threading code, all because the original was based on one of their samples.

there is no single "right" way to write code, but there are plenty of wrong ones, and microsoft have been the worst offenders, to date, in my experience.

at time of writing stackoverflow is my best reference, and otherwise plenty of RTFM.

Comment interesting how so many (Score -1, Flamebait) 274

seem to feel threatened by this information.

plastic footed metal beetle space bugs, smell of laboratories, and live on soap.

is good to be human, in the information age, and i do hope these strange offspring of the petrochemical age die off soon..

yes, this is flame bait, however i am making the point that it is also further evidence that we have a problem, and this is news that matters, however many cannot handle that information.
