Most of the websites I've used in the past (including this one) do not offer an option to delete your own account. I think the main reason is to avoid the orphanage of the items created (or the delete on cascade of those items). Modern sites (like this one) have a place where those items go when an account is abandoned (in the case of ...

I must say I have never had cause to use bitwise operators, but I am sure there are some operations that I have performed that would have been more efficiently done with them. How have "shifting" and "OR-ing" helped you solve a problem more efficiently? ...
I have an application that uses WCF for all DataAccess. It returns some business objects and it has some operations. Should this code exist in my Client or in my Service? If in the service, HOW should I implement it? Can I simply add it as an interface to my business object? Will that come through the WCF Service Proxy Code? (This is a...

I try to produce correct UML when we have our design/whiteboarding sessions but my attempt at well structured UML ALWAYS degrades into uml-looking-but-understandable-to-those-in-the-room-with-a-little-explanation. But is this good enough for the consummate engineer? Do you always produce well-structured UML in your whiteboard sessions? W...

Is this a consequence of the relative inexpensive nature of memory now or is this just minutia that developers needn't worry about? ...

For example, if I have a directory /java that contains a bunch of .java source files, is it better to put the test cases in /java itself or use something like /java/test. If the latter is preferred, how do y...

This is just a small personal application which will trade maybe two or three times a day depending on mar...
[Update] I actually compromised on this problem for now by foregoing the fixed footer design. It seems that there is no problem with dynamic content moving the footer and resizing containers appropriately unless the footer is fixed to the browser bottom initially. I hope others will eventually provide a great solution that encompass...
