Since this is the Internet, 99% of the 4,546,212 podcasts in existence consist of 2 dorks arguing over who was darker: David Gahan [...]

News Story by Julia King NOVEMBER 08, 2004 (COMPUTERWORLD) – Skeptical, stressed, scared, sucked dry. This is how IT professionals feel about work these days.

It’s been a while, but here’s some software for dat ass. If you develop language-localized applications, you spend a lot of time making resource files.
