Disagree with subject line ... many great free solutions out there.

BUT ... have used GotoMeeting and GoToAssist for these tasks at work, and GoToAssist is fantastic.
Multiple connections in case you are supporting more than one person at a time and ability to reboot are both great.

Automatic "giving" of control is a nice feature compared with GoToMeeting.

Agreed.
Just get them to OK the project.

The fact that it is a volunteer / free thing I can't imagine why they would object.

Should be great exposure for them.

Also depends what sorts of post you mostly do.

If most of posts are multi-line, then it is more convenient to do a "normal" ENTERs throughout and a CTRL-ENTER once at the end.

This post saves 5 SHIFT's and costs one CTRL with Matt's scheme.

Which makes total sense since they have less time to "win it back"

Seems fairly logical.

I don't know the actual objective ... but if the concern is "'We need to get more code out there, not improve how it looks.'" ... the objective is bad.

Wouldn't shouldn't this be about catching subtle logic / calculation flaws that lead to incorrect conclusions?

Agree ... if this is about indenting and which method of commenting ... then yeah ... bad idea.

But this has the possibility of being so much more. I would see it as free editing by qualified people. Seems like a deal.

EBook readers are much simpler than tablets.
I expect much of what we are seeing is that most of the people who want(ed) one ... have it now.
Battery life is soo good and processor usage is low, that you don't need to update them every year or two.

I have two Kindles ... the first is >5 yrs old now and still works great.

How about tell that to Apple?

I can see marking it as cheaper ... but if Amazon marks down to $0.00 ... what's their cut? They are still hosting which has it's own costs (albeit small-ish)

Per:
      http://www.vancouversun.com/news/earthquake+hits+Haida+Gwaii+Region/7459506/story.html

... the second largest to hit the country since 1949, when another earthquake was recorded in the same area with a magnitude of 8.1.

Emphasis mine

So no.

First Item is $100.
Second Item is $30 (you pay $15)

Total savings is 100*(1-(115 / 130)) = 11.5% savings

If you had 20% off on all ... you would be well ahead.

Break even point is if Item 2 is $66.67
Any less and 20% is the better deal
Any more and buy one, get half off is the better deal

Solved that with Algemebra

'cause I am SMRT (doh!)

Isn't this kind of like asking the concierge for a dinner suggestion and being referred to a restaurant in the hotel rather than outside?
If I ask someone who runs a landscaping company who I should get to mow my lawn ... I have a pretty good idea in advance what they are going to say.

Meh ... I never bothered upgrading two of my machines (main office and laptop) and still use Vista.
With decent drivers I don't mind.

I still find 7 annoying for hiding too much stuff. Vista is bad in this sense, but 7 is worse.

UAC I have (unfortunately) kept enabled ... we are a software company and I need to know when things fail due to that to support our customers.

Or more generally ...

Any programming related to simulating real-life scenarios often involves higher math. I wanted to write a simulator for curling (go ahead make fun of me ... my friends do) ... The actual forces involved governing a spinning rock sliding down bumpy ice are VERY complex before you even get to the collisions.

So ... if you are doing DB programming or non-game web programming, you may be able to avoid math, but if you are trying to simulate any real life situations, count on requiring a little more math.

NEVER rely on a single source for anything of any importance!

I rely on my wife for sex. How is that wrong?

What I find most odd about this ...
      "... when an emergency arises"

Assuming you own a gun (which I expect you do based on the tone of the comment) ... what percentage of the time do you use your gun in an emergency situation vs not?

And your friends with guns?

IF I were to have a gun it would be for sport not protection.
