Unlikely allies Microsoft, Google, AT&T and a host of often-feuding advocacy groups and think tanks join forces in call for update to ECPA to reflect cloud computing and location services.
Over the past year, the PASS Board of Directors (BoD) has been looking at changing the by-laws. We've had in-depth in-person discussions about how the by-laws could/should be changed. Here is the link to the documents that I am referring to: http://www.sqlpass.org/Community/PASSBlog/entryid/300/Amendments-to-PASS-Bylaws.aspx One of the changes that…
<b>10 Things:</b> "Legislation that affects the use of Internet-connected computers is springing up everywhere at the local, state and federal levels. You might be violating one of them without even knowing."
The scenario: Having a Controller that controls a view composed of complex subviews.
Each one of those subviews is a separated class in a separate file. For example, one of those subviews is called ButtonsView, and has a bunch of buttons.
The Controller has to access those buttons.
Would accessing those buttons like this:

We have Amdahl's law that basically states that if your program is 10% sequential you can get a maximum 10x performance boost by parallelizing your application.
Another one is Wadler's law which states that
In any language design, the total time spent discussing

I've been reading up on this "Law of Demeter" thing, and it (and pure "wrapper" classes in general) seem to generally be anti patterns. Consider an implementation class:
class Foo {
void doSomething() { /* whatever */ }
}
Now consider two different implementations of another class:
class Bar1 {

The following code breaks the Law of Demeter:
public class Student extends Person {
private Grades grades;
public Student() {
}
/** Must never return null; throw an appropriately named exception, instead. */
private synchronized Grades getGrades() throws GradesException {
if( this.grades…
I would like to convert wav files to mp3 using the lame encoder (lame.exe). The wav files are recorded along the following specifications:
Bit Rate: 64kbps
Audio sample size: 8 bit
Channels: 1 (mono)
Audio sample rate: 8 kHz
Audio format: CCITT A-Law
If I try to convert such a wav file using lame, I…
The wikipedia article about Law of Demeter says:
The law can be stated simply as "use only one dot".
However a simple example of a fluent interface may look like this:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
new ZRLabs.Yael.Pipeline("cat.jpg")
.Rotate(90)
.Watermark("Monkey")

Can I take up another part-time job when working full time in a typical private IT company in India? Is there any indian employement law preventing…
How do you avoid getting into trouble with the law or lawsuits for a website that could enable illegal or potentially harmful activity by its users.
The only thing I can think of is to make the content wholly user-generated, and thereby I have no control or say or responsibility for what goes on…
Hello! I am currently working on a project where I need to generate multiple values (floats or doubles preferably) that follow a power law distribution with a given exponent!
I was advised to use the MathNet.Iridium library to help me. The problem I have is that the documentation is not as…
I'm trying to handle proximity search for a basic store locater in Django. Rather than haul PostGIS around with my app just so I can use GeoDjango's distance filter, I'd like to use the Spherical Law of Cosines distance formula in a model query. I'd like all of the calculations to be done…

I live in an apartment and some new guys have apparently moved into one of the apartments.
They have been shamelessly hacking into my WiFi.
Mine was initially a WEP encrypted network and out of laziness I just limited and reserved the IPS on my router for the people in my…
I find this to be equivalent to undercover police officers who join a gang, do drugs and break the law as a last resort in order to enforce it. To be a competent security expert, I feel hacking has to be a constant hands-on effort. Yet, that requires finding exploits,…
