Submission + - 2.4M Kickstarted Oculus Rift Delayed until March/April (oculusvr.com)

An anonymous reader writes: After an amazing Kickstarter campaign garnering over 2.4M in backers, VR headset Manufacture OculusVR has announced manufacturing details and also a shipping delay until March or April 2012. Oculus claims that due to the number of backers, mass manufacturing would be required. Additional details are included on their 1000hz 9DOF head tracker and 7" screen. It looks like the VR revolution will have to wait a little bit longer.

Comment I kind of get it (Score 1, Insightful) 736

I have experience as a programmer, project manager, business analyst, software infrastructure architect, server and my current assignment is to create a new software department. You can call me an IT guy, but that doesn't describe my level of expertise. I graduated college as an Engineer, which doesn't describe all that either.

You wouldn't plainly call a building architect the "construction guy" or the CFO of a bank "a finance guy". Sometimes you need to make the distinction to prevent people from thinking that you have a simple job. If you are proud of your qualities, you can call it whatever makes you feel good.

I generally just tell people, that I'm a nerd.

Submission + - Microsoft Releases IIS FastCGI Module (iis.net) 1

Marcy writes: Microsoft has just announced the final release of the IIS FastCGI module for IIS 5.1 (XP), 6 (2003), and 7 (2008). This FastCGI module was built with collaboration from Zend (creators of PHP) and intended to solve the CGI on Windows problem. Now the only question is, is this to stop people from switching to *nix servers or to make Windows sysadmins' lives a lot easier?
