GMail is annoying. In fact, it is very annoying. the “Wer'e cool” bunch have decided to “test” the service, and everyone is clamoring for a GMail account. Well, guess what Google? I just found a service which features: 1GM email (accessible through POP3) 100MB space for FTP and webdav access Some more stuff. All...

Why on earth would I, as an interviewer, want to see a candidate write code on a piece of paper? There are many issues in this. To me this is nothing more that making life hard...

Heck, even my wife studied at some of his classes over at SELA university. They guy is a guru when it comes to low level C++,.Net and other interesting things. I think Alon...

Ohad Israeli, my co-worker and .Net guru , has just joined the blogging scene. Expect lots of cool and interesting stuff about low level internals and high level architecture posts. This guy is good.

Lots of weird things happen when you try to develop a right-to-left internationalized software package. For example, You *think* your menus on the main form are fine, in a right-to-left state, but when you *maximize* the form all the menus suddenly are re-ordered left-to-right. Like magic.   How to fix it - though it seems really stupid-...

One big concern I hear from people I meet is that they really want to have a weblog, but they want to write in hebrew, not in english, simply because they can express themselves better in their mother tounge. That was a problem. Lots of the blogging community in Israel either resides in non-technical sites, and whatever blogging infrastracture...

Well, I bought myself a pair of headphones with a mic attached, and installed Skype. I feel chatty, so if you feel like it, and see me online, Skype me (surprisingly, my user name is royosherove). If you've talked to me through the blogsphere, or on MSN messenger - I'd love to hear from you. I'll be offline in the next few hours (Dinner...

Bob powell writes a scathing post about how VB is rubbish. I have to say, as a Mort myself, some of what he says is true, and has been said before, but some of it is just total miundestanding of the reasons for the differences between the languages. I'll tryo to answer some of it: . “The crummy thing has case insensitive names so POINT =...
