When I think back to the time of the release of IE7, I was surprised that there wasn't border-radius support. It seems like an obviously great idea to have a css-property name for rounded corners, which can potentially make a site look less like it came from the computer stone-age.
Finally, today we have IE9 and Microsoft finally decided to play ball with the rest of the world. But the question remains, why didn't Microsoft bother to support border-radius in IE8?
The problem probably became obvious to the company as the growing chorus of complaints from web developers got louder after the release of IE7.
Was the company so isolated or in group-think mode that they were blind for that many years?
Or did Microsoft have some additional motive to suppress the border-radius property?

I get swamped by spam on my weblogs.asp.net weblog. Both comments spam and spam through the contact form. It is getting so bad that I think the platform is becoming useless for me. Why o why are we bloggers from the first hour still in stone age without any protection against spam. Implementing Captcha shouldn’t be that hard… As far as I know this is the same blogging platform used by blogs.msdn.com. Aren’t all Microsoft bloggers getting sick from spam? In the past I tried to contact the maintainers of weblogs.asp.net, but never got a response. Who maintains the platform? Why are we still running on a Community Server Edition of 2007? Please help me out, or I’m out of here.
I would like to add sound effects to a basic 2D game. For example, a stone sphere is rolling on wood surface. Let's say I have a 2 second audio recording of this. How could I use the sample to add sound for an arbitrary duration ?
So far I have two solutions in mind:
a/ record the sound for an amount of time that is greater than the maximum expected duration, and play only a part of it;
b/ extract a small portion of the sample and play it in a loop for the duration of the move; however I'm not sure if it makes sense with an audio wave.

I just returned from the PASS Summit in Charlotte, NC – which was excellent, among the best I have attended – and I have had Dr. David DeWitt’s talk rolling around in my head since he gave it on Thursday.

I am normally skeptical of product announcements, and I find too often that real technical innovation can be overwhelmed by the...(read more)

At times,
I can be an impatient customer. But I’m not alone. Research by The Social Habit shows that among customers
who contact a brand, product, or company through social media for support, 32%
expect a response within 30 minutes and 42% expect a response within 60 minutes!
70%
of respondents to another study expected their complaints to be addressed
within 24 hours, irrespective of how they contacted the company.
I was
intrigued when I read a recent blog post by David Vap, Group Vice President of
Product Development for Oracle Service Cloud. It’s about “Three Secrets to
Innovation” in customer service. In
David’s words:
1) Focus on making what’s hard simple
2) Solve real problems for real people
3) Don’t just spin a good vision. Do
something about it
I believe
midsize companies have a leg up in delivering on these three points, mainly
because they have no other choice. How can you grow a business without
listening to your customers and providing flawless service? Big companies are often
weighed down by customer service practices that have been churning in bureaucracy
for years or even decades.
When the all-in-one
printer/fax/scanner I bought my wife for Christmas (call me a romantic) failed
after sixty days, I wasted hours of my time navigating the big brand manufacturer’s
complex support and contact policies only to be offered a refurbished replacement
after I shipped mine back to them. There was not a happy ending. Let's just say my wife still doesn't have a printer.
Young midsize
companies need to innovate to grow. Established midsize company brands need to
innovate to survive and reach the next level. Midsize Customer Case Study: The Boston Globe
The Boston
Globe, established in 1872 and the winner of 22 Pulitzer
Prizes, is fighting the prevailing decline in the newspaper industry. Businessman
John
Henry invested in the Globe in 2013 because he, “…believes
deeply in the future of this great community, and the Globe should play a vital
role in determining that future”. How well the paper executes on its bold new
strategy
is truly mission critical—a matter of life or death for an industry icon.
This customer
case study tells how Oracle’s Service Cloud is helping The Boston Globe “do
something about” and not just “spin” it’s strategy and vision via improved
customer service. For example, Oracle
RightNow Chat Cloud Service is now the preferred support channel for its
online environments. The average e-mail or phone call can take three to four
minutes to complete while the average chat is only 30 to 40 seconds.
It’s a great
example of one company leveraging technology to make things simpler to solve
real problems for real people.

Hello,
I recently made a start on learning BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) after watching a Google tech talk presented by David Astels. He made a very interesting case for using BDD
and some of the literature I've read seem to highlight that it's easier to sell BDD to management. Admittedly, I'm a little skeptical about BDD after watching the above video. So, I'm interested to understand if BDD is indeed nothing more than a change in vocabulary or if it offers other benefits.
I've got the following in /.bashrc
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin/jdk1.7.0_03/
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/jdk1.7.0_03/bin
This is fine, if I do $JAVA_HOME I get the directory above.
The problem is if I do java -version I get...
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.1) (6b24-1.11.1-4ubuntu3)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)
How do I make the official jdk version the right one?
Sorry I'm extremely new to Ubuntu.
Thanks,
David
What system specifications would a game need if it was:
Total players per planet: ~20000
Total players per team:~1M
Total players per map(small volume of space or small surface over a planet): ~2000
Total players: ~10M(world has more players than this amount i think)
Two of the players are commanders of opposite quadrants(from HUD of a strategy game).
Lots of players use space-crafts as a captain(like 3d fps and rts).
Many many players control consoles in those space-crafts as under command of captains.(fps )
Some players are still in stone-age trying to reinvent wheel in some planet.
Players design and construct any vehicles they have.
With good physics engine
Has puzzles inside.
Everyone get experience by doing stuff(RPG).
Commerce, income or totally different resource-based group(like starcraft)
Player classes(primitive: cunning and strong, wrapped: healthy, wealthy)
Arcade top-down style firing with ships when people get bored
very low chance of miraculous things.(mediclorians, wormholes, bugs)
Different game-modes: persistent(living world), resetted periodically(a new chance for noobs), instant(pre-built space + hack&slash)
I suspect this would need 128GB ram and 2048 cores.
I tried to open a dialog like David Planella describs here (and quickly help add):

But this don't works for me. I always get the same Error-Message if I open the creadted Dialog:

(Note: My Dialog-Name is replaced with "NewDialogNameDialog" to be more general.)
I tried to test a tutorial for the Ubuntu app showdown to learn how to use quickly and python.

Does anyone know how I can go about updating the version of wine that one prefix uses without self-destructing everything in it?
I want to bring it from 1.4 to 1.5.5 - I read on a forum that someone got the microphone working in Rosetta Stone with Ubuntu 12.04 and wine 1.5.5.
Thanks for any guidance on this matter. :)
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11984993&postcount=20
Update: Issue resolved.
Thanks to zuberuber I was able to approach the issue in a different light. :)
I made a new prefix called "test" in PlayOnLinux. I compared the new prefix with the Rosetta prefix.
It contained a PlayOnLinux.cfg file along with the reg files.
It contained:
ARCH=x86
VERSION=1.5.0
I copied this over to the Rosetta prefix and adjusted it:
ARCH=x86
VERSION=1.4.1
After doing that, I was able to change it from 1.4.1 to 1.5.0. I confirmed it in the prefix's winecfg's About tab.
Hi,
So I'm writing a small game using Direct3D 9 and I'm using multitexturing for the terrain. All I'm doing is sampling 3 textures and a blend map and getting the overall color from the three textures based on the color channels from the blend map. Anyway, I am getting a massive frame rate drop when I sample more than 1 texture, I'm going from 120+ fps to just under 50.
This is the HLSL code responsible for the slow down:
float3 ground = tex2D(GroundTex, multiTex).rgb;
float3 stone = tex2D(StoneTex, multiTex).rgb;
float3 grass = tex2D(GrassTex, multiTex).rgb;
float3 blend = tex2D(BlendMapTex, blendMap).rgb;
Am I doing it wrong ? If anyone has any info or tips about texture sampling or anything, that would be nice.
Thanks.
