For all of the grumbling about the continued reliance on cagey-yet-awful veterans, I have faith that both Ray Durham and Rich Aurilia will not be on the active roster by September. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. So I propose a kind of "dead pool" -- who goes first? Rich Aurilia, in the conservatory, with an outright release? Ray Durham, in the kitchen, with a trade to a panicked contender? It's a tough call. Cases for each to be the first on the chopping block: Rich Aurilia * The emergence of the lef... lire la suite

The simile makes more sense in my mind. See, Velez is the bread bowl. Durham is the heroin addiction that caused the homelessness in the first place. Barry Bonds is the fantastic double album written on heroin that caused the Giants to keep trying to recapture the magic. Justin Upton would be creamy and delicious clam chowder. The person who gives away the bread bowl without a hint of self-awareness -- "They should be lucky they even get my bread bowl!" -- is a baseball god. With just one more, I can make sure this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever written, so allow me to present Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain as two sweet, sweet bottles of warming hooch.
Basex, a business research firm, came out this week with a twist on the usual year-end looking-back and looking-forward lists. The firm picked a “problem of the year” for 2008, information overload. Others are trying to measure it too. The Basex press release quotes Nathan Zeldes, an engineer at Intel who studies computing productivity issues, who said, “At Intel, we estimated the impact of information overload on each knowledge worker at up to eight hours a week.” Basex offers 10 tips to help manage information overload. The e-mail advice includes:
Bonjour, Sous quel format doivent etre les dates d'une timeline simile ?? Merci de votre aide. Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 2.0.0.11
Come finals time, a schedule of traditional tests meant packaging hours and hours to study. It was the ultimate experience of Information Overload. It also was the quickest way to forget everything you just learned the minute the tests were over. In fact, if you hung out with my friends and me, the minute tests were over, every penny we had was destined to be spent on beverages that killed more than a few braincells. Information overload is having to read everything and remember it. Open Book life means knowing where to look to catch up when you are ready to catch up.. I will take the Open Book Life anytime
Gene Weingarten of the Washington Post tried an experiment recently. He spent 24 hours in a room surrounded by televisions, two radios and a laptop set up to cycle through a selection of blogs and news sources. It was all in the interest of science - to see what living in total information overload was like. Welcome to the blogosphere, Gene. Weingarten takes more than a few swipes at the folks who practice surfing in this sea of information that beats mercilessly these days. But there is a certain amount of truth in his dark humor about the overload of news, semi-news, punditry and analysis (both paid and freelance) that inundates us these days. Especially those of us who choose to do this on a daily basis. There is so much out there to read and absorb and talk about. It is, indeed, like drinking from a fire hose. I'll let you read the long piece and figure out where the title of this post comes from.
Both VB and C# have a feature of generic overload resolution that is fairly helpful and yet a source of gotchas. Lets say you have two methods with the same number of arguments. One method has arguments with generic types and the other does not. For Example: This type of overload resolution only happens if the compiler can statically verify that the argument matches a non-generic overload. So if we call F1 generically it will not bind to the non-generic overload.
If you liked our awesome computer rig contest, you will like Mitch Haile's clean but sensory overload workplace, with a total of eight displays. To me it's not as good as my favorite, the Death Star battle station, but that may be because I imagine it is a lot more comfortable to do visual work. And yes, with visual work I mean watching porn. Still, the gallery is impressive.
