Are there other tools besides Mingle that would let my team create an online "wall" of post-it-like text notes? In the ideal world each note would have an associated author, tags for searching, be editable, and could be duplicated and moved around for clustering like we do with actual post-its during physical brainstorming. I like how ...
So the next version of C# will support dynamic binding through the dynamic keyword. Microsoft has especially talked about how this will make the syntax for COM interop nicer and it is of course necessary for interop with the dynamically typed .NET languages. But what else do you think we will be able to do with this new feature? ...

Given a DAG, in which each node belongs to a category, how can this graph be transformed into a table with a column for each category? The transformation doesn't have to be reversible, but should preserve useful information about the structure of the graph; and should be a 'natural' transformation, in the sense that a person looking at t...

My team has recently begun using XMind to organize development projects. It seems to be a pretty powerful brainstorming software. I'm just wondering if other developers have employed similar techniques to aid in documenting software design. ...
I'm looking for clever ways to build dynamic Java classes, that is classes where you can add/remove fields at runtime. Usage scenario: I have an editor where users should be able to add fields to the model at runtime or maybe even create the whole model at runtime. Some design goals: Type safe without casts if possible for custom code...

The reason I ask this way, is because I focus on graphically appealing Windows applications, and usually Mac apps has great interfaces in general. As an example, I w...
I work for a large organization that supports many different sites on a nation wide network. Our vendor supplies diagnostic tools for the hardware we use at each site. The diagnostics and reports are accessed via Telnet. The problem is we want to monitor all sites simultaneously and currently we can only check them one at a time (via ...
Question just occurred to me today. So many folks in computer science/engineering and related disciplines always seem to be drawing/writing on graph paper. As I write this, I have 3-4 pads sitting on my shelf. It's something I've always done, but I can't say why. (I also can't remember the last time I drew a graph that required graph...
