"Perpetual Money
Making Machine..."
(September 8, 2004) |
This entry will not live in its own
page, as there isn't much to say on the subject, really (Perhaps,
there is - However, I don't want to do any research).
I finally figured out why movie studios make "re-makes"
of older, successful releases: to sell DVD or generate new revenue
through DVD rentals.
I bit into their marketing schemes: I went to see The Manchurian
Candidate, with Danzel Washington, and I had to rent the original
DVD. What an Industry. In 50 years, movie studios will be re-releasing
a re-make of the re-make, and in turn release holographic releases
of the re-makes (Ok, I don't know what will replace DVDs).
A perpetual money making machine. I mean, we definitely want to
be entertained. Or, at least the entertainment industry tells me
that we want to be entertained - And I'm sure they are only looking
after my best interest. |

"Do
online petitions work?"
(May 21, 2004) |
I bought a Latitude D600 and it gets
really hot on the left side of the palm rest. Believing in the democratic
process, I set up an online petition to be signed by disastified
D600 owners. Some have signed it, even Martha Stewart ;) |

"Using
static or instance method calls"
(December 10, 2003) |
Is there a difference to use either
type? Is there a performance difference while using static method
calls? Static method calls seem to run faster, due to the lack of
dynamic binding... |
"Why
is this application so slow?"
(September 27, 2003) |
If you develop software for a living,
you must have heard someone paying for your services utter the question:
"Why is it so slow?" There are many reason, and hence
many solutions... |

A while ago, I was commissioned
to write and teach a quick introduction to ASP. This is the result:
a 2 day introductory/hands on tutorial. |
Security
in an insecure world
(February 06, 2002) |
This has nothing to do
with real security, but, software security while buying things online
with a credit card. Should you use a credit card or not? |
