Show progress of the work, not the time. You never know what other things the machine is doing, and is better to give no estimate than a bad one.

And don't suffice with a bar, also provide information on what the process is doing.

Windows CE didn't fail. It is all over industrial handheld devices (barcode scanners mainly, but also embedded computers). I have yet to see a multitude of Android / Windows Phone devices. There are some, but the large majority is Windows CE5.

Nice, in-context typo.

Okay, I only looked at it for a few minutes, but I can't see the difference with classic boards. Yes, it is more fancy, more JavaScripty, but functional, I couldn't get any differences. Just a list of topics, when clicked go to a list of replies.

No voting system, no "highest votes on top", no threading, ...

I use the printer at work for personal printing, but since I own the company it is also my printer .....

I choose "my own printer" because it fits the bill best.

For the parents yes. They have to get up in the middle of the night to calm them down. Our kids don't see any TV after dinner, just so WE can have a decent night's sleep.

O, come on, who are you fooling?

If that would be the case, why are legislators and gun makers not trying as hard as possible to make them safer? They are exempt from consumer safety laws. And why? Because their goal is to be lethal.

You are completely right. And it is why the automobile industry puts a lot of effort in making cars safer. And why there are laws like having to use these safety precautions.

By the way, many more cars than guns are used also every day for there intended purpose (moving from a to b) than guns. So your statistic (as tragic as it is) does not compare well.

I see this so often and I think it is inherently false. Case in point: Guns are designed to kill. Cakes (or cars, or ....) are not.

Or it indicates a bug in someone else's code.

For example if you build a piece of software that supports thirdparty plugins. Run it, and catch *everything*. When something is caught, disable the plugin, do not crash your application.

200 generations, not years. With an average of three generations per 100 years, that accounts to roughly 7500 years, which is basically "modern man" in terms of evolution.

Don't you mean ONE MEEEELION DOLLARS?

(somehow supervillains always have an accent, also this is to pass the yelling-filter)

Why is there no +1 respect ?

Cost of labor is not the same as the wage the laborer gets.

I had a N900 and did some hacking on it with Python. I also have a Galaxy Nexus and am using the exquisite Android Eclipse plugin to develop for it.

I can tell you, developing for Android is way better than for the N900. You get better apps out faster. Plus they run on almost all devices, not just the N900.
