Often, a language won't have its own community, or the "official" community isn't the most popular one. For all the languages you use, what is your favorite place to visit (besides SO!) for help - or just plain discussion/complaints?

I'm a newbie at networking. I understand the concept of multicast, but was wondering if it's reliable on the open/public internet? It seems like sort of an edge case that different backbones or ISPs might intentionally break to reduce router load or generally segment the network for practical high-use applications. Is my fear reasonab...

Is there a good tutorial on implementing application-level multicasting? I th...
I find myself browsing internet all the time and most of the time unnecessarily. I do find some interesting stuffs, learn something new daily.

Hello, I found a clear squared bug on IE7/8, which appears via automation (still looking for a workaround, btw). So, I tried with no luck to find a way to log this bug.

Having programmed for a while now I have noticed that I am becoming more and more reliant on the internet and intellisense to do my job. But I was wondering how much that has effected my knowledge over the past year or so. But does this matter? For example I am more likely now to remember that when I need to program against objects I ha...

I am planning to create a site that provides several games for self written game-agents. There will be a Tic-Tac-Toe for example (and some more complex games of course).
