My wife works in health care and is alergic to eggs. The solution her employer has come up with is simple: If you are sick, stay home. When you are at work you have to wear a mask.

I mean if we are so worried about passing on infection shouldn't they all wear a mask all the time?

Visual Studio 2010 Forces Tab Indenting 390

Posted by kdawson on Monday January 25, 2010 @12:26AM from the one-man's-readable dept.

An anonymous reader writes "For years, Microsoft has allowed Visual Studio users to define arbitrary tab widths, often to the dismay of those viewing the resultant code in other editors. With VS 2010, it appears that they have taken the next step of forcing tab width to be the same as the indent size in code. Two-space tabs anyone?"

Game Developers Note Net Neutrality Concerns To FCC 74

Posted by Soulskill on Friday January 22, 2010 @03:35AM from the game-developers-are-people-too dept.

eldavojohn writes "A list of notes from game developers (PDF) was sent in a letter to the FCC which represented a net neutrality discussion between the developers and FCC representatives. Game Politics sums it up nicely, but the surprise is that developers are concerned with latency, not bandwidth, unlike the members of many other net neutrality discussions. One concern is that each and every game developer will need to negotiate with each and every ISP to ensure their traffic achieves acceptable levels of latency for users. 'Mr. Dyl of Turbine stated that ISPs sometimes block traffic from online gaming providers, for reasons that are not clear, but they do not necessarily continue those blocks if they are contacted. He recalled Turbine having to call ISPs that had detected the high UDP traffic from Turbine, and had apparently decided to block the traffic and wait to see who complained.' It seems a lot of the net neutrality discussions have only worried about one part of the problem — Netflix, YouTube and P2P — while an equally important source of concern went unnoticed: latency in online games."
