• Is there considerable energy saving using a black background on my website?

  - by isolatedIterator

  I had heard that you can save power by using a black background instead of a coloured background. Is there any evidence that this saves power on people's monitors? Is this a way that we can cut down on energy consumption (millions of users times milli-watts add up over time). It could also affect battery life on mobile devices.

• Are floppy disks still used in the software world?

  - by isolatedIterator

  just reading the bbc report on how millions of floppy disks are purchased each month in the UK: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/8646699.stm Does anyone still use floppies? Is this a legit distribution media for software? Are there specific uses for the little plastic disks?

• why does vb.net not support multiple inheritance?

  - by isolatedIterator

  I've seen some discussion on why c# does not implement multiple inheritance but very little as to why it isn't supported in vb. I understand that both c# and vb are compiled down to intermediary language and so they both need to share similar restrictions. The lack of multiple inheritance in VB seems to have been given as one reason for the lack of the feature in dot net. Does anyone know why VB doesn't support multiple inheritance? I'm hoping for a bit of history lesson and discussion on why this was never considered for VB.

• are there function pointers in c#?

  - by isolatedIterator

  I am trying to learn some c# coding and wondering if the c++ concept of function pointers is included in c#. I see there are such things as delegates. Are they the same concept? or do they differ on a more fundamental level?

  I think the title says it all. Any references to text books would also be appreciated.

• Are there any tools for porting c++ code to c# code?

  - by isolatedIterator

  I have a couple c++ utilities that I would like to port over to dot net. I was wondering if there are tools for porting a c++ application to c#? I imagine that any automated tool would make a mess of any code, so perhaps, I should also be asking if this is a good idea or not?

• Can silverlight detect or communicate across browser instances?

  - by isolatedIterator

  User starts up a silverlight application in their browser by navigating to a given URL. User then opens another browser and starts up the same silverlight application by navigating to the same URL. Can the second instance of the application detect that there is already an instance running on the same computer? Can it detect itself if both applications are running within the same browser instance? I would expect the answer to be 'no' but thought that i would ask it anyway. Otherwise i believe that i will have to setup a webservice and have each instance register itself and send requests to other instances from the same IP. does that sound reasonable?

• in relation to web development, what is a taxonomy?

  - by isolatedIterator

  Can people explain what taxonomy means in terms of a web site? My current understanding it a classification of the contents in relationship to each other, but it seems like it must go beyond that simplistic definition. and yes, I have read the wikipedia entry for this.

• how to convince website users to use openid

  - by isolatedIterator

  Perhaps this isn't the best forum for this question. If so, would one of the other child sites be more suitable? I am wondering how to overcome the learning curve of convincing a non-technical bunch of users how and what open id is. how do you convince users that it is a good thing and that they want to use it?
