Perhaps someone wants to port it over to Mono?

Check out this ABC radio interview. The story leads in with an interesting study that shows that the comfortable indoor temperature has risen over the years and this means more heating costs. But why?

India is outraged, and so they should, given the shabby treatment of Dr Haneef by the Australian authorities.
More worrisome is that polls in Australian online newspapers show about 50/50 support for the government’s stance to revoke the doctor’s visa. It just goes to show how deep the paranoia runs, and how hard the government is [...]

The Sopranos Finale Explained:
But in reality, when you die, it ends. There’s no more; you don’t get to see the reactions of other people to your death. You don’t get to do anything.

Here’s a recent piece on the apparent rebirth of Kalpana Chawla, who perished in the Columbia shuttle disaster back in 2003.
The curious and interesting part is actually right at the end:
Upasana was born barely two months after the astronaut`s death in 2003
This begs the questions:

does this mean there might [...]

If it’s not in our genes, maybe it’s in our junk. So-called “junk DNA” may turn out to be just as important as our much [...]

Terry Heaton summarized why the Backfence experiment failed. Of note, is the distinction between hyperlocal versus hypertargetted. Increasingly, the physical world is so small that people who share common interests no longer live in the same town, or in the same country.
Out in Toowoomba, population circa 100,000, a lot of people forgo buying the [...]

Scott Berkun’s talks about dysfunctional development methodologies.
He has left out Fantasy Development Methodology.
Here are the basic steps:

Sales promises delivery of fantasy product on a fixed cost fixed time basis
Business analyst specs up fantasy software
Project managers spec up fantasy schedule
Engineers make fantasy estimates
Lead engineer adopts fantasy methodology
Fantasy driven development meets fantasy-driven schedule
Software doesn’t work, but journalists [...]

Can AJAX be used to strengthen REST-style programming? Yes! Here are some common scenarios where AJAX is better than standard HTML.
User authentication
Display authentication dialog on the URL where access is attempted, instead of redirecting to a logon screen, and then redirecting back.
Dialogs
Present dialogs using DHTML instead of popping up windows. URLs should be permanent if [...]

China becomes the factory of the world, and the
 ensuing flurry of economic development
   creates new demand in China for oil and gas, and this
    raises fuel prices, which in turn
     causes the U.S. to turn to corn for biofuels, which in turn
      causes corn prices to rise, which then
       raises [...]

This has to be the most surreal experience I’ve had of the web ever. Jason Calcanis, the master of publicity embarks on an audacious linkbaiting scheme by merely talking about linkbaiting. The last time this happened was when Alex Barnett posted about how to game memeorandum.

Via Reddit. The greatest forum post of all time.
Incidentally, can any Indian readers tell me if it’s actually the polite form? I’ve received resumes in this style. No kidding.

This essay by Lee Iaoccoca contains an interesting juxtaposition of two metaphors:
We’ve got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff

One point that hasn’t been raised enough in the global warming effect, is that man-made agents triggered three decades of global cooling mid last century. Throwing more pollutants to effect climate-change is probably anathema to environmentalists, but for engineers, it has to be studied as a serious option.
Here’s an excerpt from the climatogists’ response [...]

Prashant lists 15 exercises for learning a new computer language. Here’s my 10-point approach (fair bit of overlap with Prashant’s):
(Hint to people writing documentation for their languages: cover these points and people will be able to get to work quickly with your creation. Sure there are lots of nooks and subtleties in every system, [...]

In a couple of years, my brother will hopefully be setting up a private practice for helping kids with allergies.
Allergies are scary. I have to have an epipen around the house, and make anaphylaxis action plan known to the school. Statistically, an accidental exposure occurs about once every two years. We just had [...]
