xRecurseDiff is a small sotware, useful for all those programmers working with a own code repository (class library or similar). Helps to rapidly verify difference between different copies of the same file.

For every file in project directory search in library directory for files having the same name. A report containing results is shown. A detailed diff output can be shown. Search can be case-insensitive and limited by a char filter.

Everything in a UNIX system is a file. Well, except things that aren't files, such as sockets.

# Serial ports are files—these can be read from and written to, but seeking in a serial port has no meaning.
# Normal files are also files..

.NET 2.0 won 2 out of the 3 major tests – clearly besting Java 1.5 in both execution speed and real-world memory efficiency. Java did, however, manage to hold its own in the native types memory comparison by a pretty wide margin. This indicates that on the whole .NET is a more efficient platform, with perhaps at least one area for improvement – native type memory efficiency.

In November of 1990, Tim Berners-Lee, a researcher at Europe's CERN Particle Physics Laboratory, invented the very first web server and web browser. The server, entitled simply httpd, and the browser, called WorldWideWeb, ran on Tim's NeXT cube and worked exclusively on the NeXTstep operating system

Google homepage is easy and great in it´s simplicity. Microsoft has a simular service that have a different approach, they do things their style (as usually).Even if google have spend quite a lot of money on research they have a approach that i really love - the live by the principe of: KISS - "Keep It Simple Stupid".

The top 5 red flags of software development

1. “Wouldn’t it be easy to…” (the hidden cost of change)


2. “This shouldn’t take long” (artificial time frame)


3. “Can you make this small change real quick?” (“small” and “quick”)


4. “Before you finish X, could you do Y?” (the mental costs of interruption)


5. “Let’s push this today” (artificial scope)
