Enlistments in the source for many of the projects around Microsoft can be very large, and it only gets worse when you need to work on multiple branches at the same time (see my article on Branches for good reasons why you should often be working in different branches simultaneously).

As soon as a project gets to a certain size developers want to break it up to decrease their turnaround time for changes. The common solution is to have a set of headers in a 'common' include directory that is separated from the source, the idea being that as long as you're not touching those headers you can build the subdirectories of source independently of each other without worrying about dependency issues.

| 3. | | Why Choose Microsoft for your Portal? - Captured: 14-1-2005 10:51:00
Whether you're a business or technical decision maker, it's important to think about what's important to your organization when making a software decision. For most companies, software is an enabler of business. That is to say, your company is probably not in the business of making/developing software, but rather using software to run your business. Since I'm most familiar with the Portal space, my remarks are specific to Portal software. Nevertheless, many of the same suggestions and concepts a...

I played a clip of audio from IndyMedia's podcast feed on today's
source code about the Federal Reserve. It sounded pretty incredible.
According to Guan it is.

Sorry 'bout the lack of a source code yesterday. Life got in the way
again. I went up to Blackbushe airport to get all the info on obtaining
my fixed-wing add-on. I thought I was pretty much immune to getting
lost with my Audi's fabulous gps/route planner. Unfortunately many
addresses in the UK are really only trackable by postcode. Many houses
don't have numbers, just names. The airport is in Camberly. No street
name. Unfortunately the Audi system doesn't 'do' postcodes, so I saw a
lot o...

Well, here's an article that doesn't trim at all with what I've seen at Microsoft. My first thought is, the only people who might give somebody a hard time about a music player are people like me, and it's all in fun. Second, I've seen a couple of music players on people as they walk around campus and most of the time that player isn't an iPod as far as I can tell.
"About 80 percent of Microsoft employees who have a portable music player have an iPod," said one source, a high-level manager who ...

When I first got involved with Microsoft
it was around 1990 or ’91. The world of the time was dominated by IBM, with
DEC a close second. If you wanted to network PCs you used Novell or Banyan. All PC
programs were DOS programs. “Windows” was just one of many graphical libraries
being used by software to handle drawing on the screen. And if you wanted to do real
work you used a mainframe or minicomputer.
At the time, M...

On the PeerCast website there is an FAQ in which
they recommend turning off the Windows XP Firewall:
I got everything right with my broadcast, but no matter what I do, my stream
can't get through. Should I get lost?
You are probably behind a firewall, if it is a personal firewall installed
on your local PC, try turning it off. (Windows XP Pro for example..)
No wonder open-source is “more secure”, when they are actively runnin...

The
February issue of The Reader’s Digest has an article entitled “
America
’s Worst Judges”.
It
begins, as many regressivist commentaries on a variety of subjects do, by asking you
to imagine that you’re the victim of a crime. Because
we all know how much that sort of imagery contributes to rational thought.
Then
it goes for the ...

George Soros is a Billionaire investment
capitalist who came to the attention of millions of Americans for the first time with
his 527 organization MoveOn.Org. From
where I’m sitting, George seems like kind of a nut-job and an egomaniac…but
then anyone who comes up with his own civil philosophy, and then spends billions of
dollars promoting it around the world would have to be…wouldn’t he? And
frankly, he’s the egomaniacal nu...
