New study shows imbibers measure intoxication relative to other drinkers. Which kind of explains some of the posts on Friday and Saturday nights

How in the world does a sceintist get money to justify that study.
"Sir/ Madam
My proposed paper is to study drunks down at the pub every night, hic , The only cost to this study will be booze money and maybe some snack money. I predict this study will be conducted over the follow 10 year period hic."
"Good idea. Approved"

Not sure, but when I worked for Boeing back in the 90's, in the Life Sciences Testing Center, a colleague and I found the "Cow Flatulence in Relation to Global Warming" study. Reading it was funny enough, but when we read the name of the environmental scientist, we thought that it had to be a joke. The name on the paper was Dr. Colon Leaky.  
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Yeah, we didn't even need science for this one. Probably just some empirical evidence.

Confirming earlier reports that YouTube was planning to introduce more social networking features to its service, the company announced this morning the launch of YouTube Community, which allows video creators to better engage viewers using text, GIFs, images and more. Because everyone enjoys the community on YouTube

YouTube gets its own anti-social network with the launch of YouTube Community.

obligatory XKCD[^]
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft recently announced that they would be making changes to the Bing Rewards program; the company is changing the name, and how it operates, to Microsoft Rewards and we are now learning new details about the service. Temptation for those who have said, "I wouldn't use Edge if they payed me."
Not *completely* a duplicate, there is more info on this one (plus that was back in August)

Every C++ developer knows that std::string represents a sequence of characters in memory. It manages its own memory, and is very intuitive to use. How long is a string (and other koans)

But then if you have to pass the string outside its own C++ domain it's a PITA and char[] still are the best solution.
I kind of like the STL, but I can't actually use it anywhere if not in the innermost classes, the ones which aren't managed from outside...

Researchers have designed a new programming language that lets application developers manage memory more efficiently in programs that deal with scattered data points in large data sets. In tests on several common algorithms, programs. I like big data, I cannot lie...

NetBeans is moving to Apache, but it will continue to focus on the areas it has focused on while sponsored by Sun Microsystems and Oracle. For those who ask, "How do you kill something already dead?"

Oracle and Novell, the great murderers of tech ideas and software.

Novell was fine until SCO Unix sued and Eric Schmidt became CEO. The was the beginning of the end.

The decline started well before Schmidt and was mainly due to Novell's IPX not being free and Microsoft's TCP/IP network being "free". Of course, his stupid move to sue Novell's resellers caused most of them to drop Netware like a ticking nuclear bomb. However, the real death march of Novell happened because of the merger with Cambridge Technology Partners (CTP) and with new CEO Jack Messman (from CTP). He tried to turn Novell from a software company into a consulting company (like CTP is/was) and fired anyone who opposed him. Which basically meant all of the top management of Novell. That head chopping spree accelerated Novell's decline. Customers left in droves after that.

I have used NetBeans a couple times over the last few years and have no complaints. Personally I like it better than Eclipse, which in my experience is prone to obscure configuration mess-ups that can take anything from a full rebuild to a fresh install to fix. I hope the move to Apache ensures it will remain maintained for the foreseeable future – I know it didn't quite work out that well for OpenOffice, but in that case I think its decline has more to do with LibreOffice stealing its momentum.

LibreOffice happened because of assinine moves by Oracle. Some time after the LibreOffice fork was created Oracle threw-in the towel and "donated" OpenOffice to the Apache Foundation. But, it was too late, the damage was done. Oracle only has themselves to blame. Same with NetBeans. Oracle has a bad and extremely arrogant reputation.
