Ruby blocks/Java closures in C
I've been trying to understand how Ruby blocks work, and to do that I've been trying to implement them in C (^_^).

Which browsers support page break manipulation using CSS and the page-break-inside element?
I'm trying to use the page-break-inside CSS directive, the class of which is to be attached to a div tag or a table tag (I think this may only work on block elements, in which case it would have to be the table).

Work Breaks & Eye condition
I've found this tips great. But some years ago, I had some programs that popped up an alert every hour or so (Tea Break or something like that was the name of the program). Does anybone know a good, non-intrusive program that indicates me when it's time to have a break? When I'm deep coding, I loose the notion of time, so some kind of n...
How long do you program before you (need to) take a break?
I'm only a hobbyist programmer, so maybe my body isn't used to it. But I've found that I can only code for a few hours (usually 3) before I need to take a break. I move around quite a bit while I'm sitting, so it's not because of back pain or anything like that. Nor do I suffer a lot of eyestraing because I have a habit of glancing arou...

"Undo" feature in Visual Studio 2008 stops working
I'll be coding along in Visual Studio 2008, and eventually I make a mistake. I press CTRL-Z to undo and NOTHING HAPPENS. I'm not talking about anything complicated, like undoing a search and replace across multiple files that weren't open. I am talking about undoing a cut / paste action, or simply the typing of text. It's so frustrating...
