Ενδιαφέροντα νέα απο την Microsoft. Ο Scott Guthrie και η ομάδα ανάπτυξης του .NET , ετοιμάζουν ένα MVC (Model View Controller) implementation για την ASP.NET. Είμαι πολύ περίεργος για το πως όλο αυτό θα δέσει με τα postbacks, το Visual Studio και γενικά με την υπάρχουσα υποδομή της ASP.NET. To MVC framework θα κυκλοφορήσει σαν feauture της ASP.NET το πρώτο εξάμηνο του 2008.

37signals is searching for another full-time Rails programmer to work on (mostly) existing and (occassionally) new products. You should be comfortable working from home — we have an Chicago office, but mostly work remotely — and be strongly self-motivated and driven (we don’t have dedicated project managers). Strong Rails chops, good software habits, and open-source involvement are a given. We also prefer good writers. In return, we offer a flexible working environment: as long as you get the work done,it doesn’t matter too much from where or at what time of the day. Pay is competitive, health-care included, 4-day work weeks over the Summer, and A Life Outside Computers is encouraged.

I read again and again this.

1. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, open the folder you want to print, and then press ALT+PRINT SCREEN to copy an image of the active window to the Clipboard.
2. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Paint.
3. On the Edit menu, click Paste, and then click Yes to display the image.
4. On the File menu, click Print.

NOTE: If there are more files or folders than can be displayed in the My Computer or Windows Explorer window (in other words, you must scroll to see all the files or folders), you must scroll to view these files, and then repeat steps 1-4.

So this is the recommended method to print a folder listing.
The last review date is January 23, 2007 the products that applies are from Windows 95 to Windows 2000.

So, my question is..
Why Microsoft removed this unique functionality from Windows XP and Vista?

Google has recently added support for face based image searching.
There isn’t an option for using this service yet so you’ll need to add this parameter to the URL manually.

 Examples:

• gates (classic search)
• gates (using imgtype=face parameter)

 Compare the two queries. In the search results of the second example you also get this notification:

How to do this?
Simply make a standard image search and add the &imgtype=face parameter to the end of the URL on the results page:
http://images.google.com.au/images?svnum=10&hl=en&gbv=2&safe=off
&c2coff=1&q=gates&btnG=Search+Images&imgtype=face
