Yeah you have to watch commercials. You also "have" to watch the commercials on the live feeds as well. At least we are moving to an on-demand system that will allow those of us who don't care to watch ABC at 7:30 pm to see some random show. We can watch it when ever. When this is all said and done it will be similar to this for every network. Eventually Cable and Telephone service providers will be nothing more than ISP's and who ever serves up the media will be the real winner.
BTW I agree Disney's channels really don't offer much to me either but it is a start.
Unfortunately this will not be seen for some time but it will be great for the Mono people and the nixes. It will be interesting to see how much they actually released.
Quote revlayle (964221) : my current employer has a MESS of a desktop app full of.NET front ends and legacy C++ backends in a mix of multiple versions of MFC and.NET - argh - which makes it unbearable at times, but only on the app I currently work on.
Currently most of my companies' work is with C# for both the Gui and the Business Layer. I can safely say that C# is nice for gui but to get the business layer speed of Natively compiled C++ is not feasible at this point in time though I will confess it is very easy to code in.
on topic: Web UI is great for what it is used for but lets face it for most tasks you are ultimately going to have some System language binaries feeding the gui. It really doesn't matter what the Gui is the Business and Data layers will always get better performance as a Native compile. Gui's are in my business done by either C# programmers or VB6 programmers and to be honest I could care less what they use it is the data and business layer that matters you could just as easily use a Web/Intranet based UI to fill the options and view the results. Almost all nix based software has command line interfaces for that very reason.
System development will not die because of AJAX or any subsequent tool that comes along because System development isn't really about viewing the data it is about processing it.
Lets face it your hard-drive gets cluttered with useless data. As a new (undocumented) feature the all new Vista OS will automatically clean your system without any nagging questions like do you really need it. This and many more undocumented features are sure to listed in many more forums just like this. Buy Vista Ultimate it is Pretty and it costs more so you may do less.
I do not condone using a business' reputation to exploit people, but if the domains are there to purchase why don't they. Pressure Go Daddy and the like to sell packages that contain "All" permutations of the Address Requested. It is wrong to assume that just because you have a name that all other names similar to them are infringing. If this were true in the "real world" we would have to eliminate all but one John Smith and if John Smith was wealthier than John Smithe he and all other John Smithe's would have to go as well.
Secrets to U.S. government's success
1. Tax your income.
2. Tax your purchases.
3. Tax the crap you already paid taxes on when new.
4. Tax the buyers of said crap that taxes have already been paid on when new.
5. Tax the crap that was taxed as crap that was taxed when new and now sold by the 3rd tier owner.
6. Increase taxes in a bracketed method such that you really don't make much more money until you are at the top of that tier.
7. Give loopholes in taxes such that only the very wealthy can afford then audit them.
8. Raise taxes.
9. Tax the crap left over after you die.
Major problem is we are still in debt. hmmm
Well firstly whether you are aware or not likely you pay something towards the park. Also the Asterisk statement was an example of the Leaching system that OSS provides for. I am not against OSS and in-fact support it as much as I can, but someone eventually does have to put work in on it. I also feel that there should be a moral obligation, though not a legal one, to donate some of the profit, if not man-power to the software Community that helps support and create what they use. Basically the statement was to say that any MS OSS will be used the same as Linux based OSS and that OSS is OSS.
What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Can we really expect OSS to be completely altruistic. Even within the Linux community there is a great deal of use without the contribution to back it up. How many service companies use Asterisk? Do they all contribute heavily?
Those of you who agree with this stance or disagree should contact your local representatives and help stimulate them to back or not back the proposed bill. I haven't read the bill and am basing this statement on the assumption that if this bill helps fight stupidity in the patent system it may get the ball rolling for medical patents and even other patent areas. Also it is a bit frightening to think that someone owns a gene that may be found in my body.
Thanks

I agree it is pretty easy to tell. I think the problem with the study is it doesn't take into account that Darwinism doesn't seem to work in today's society.
I agree you just have to get practical knowledge. You will be surprised at how quickly you catch on to projects that you are working on. Learn to relate what you are seeing to things you know. If you have a good background in algorithms almost everything you see will have similarities to something you learned in theory. Or if you know how to program a compiler then you will notice that the emulator that you fear is very much like an interpretor. Most schools don't teach you everything you need to know to survive. They teach you how to gain the knowledge to survive and excel at what you do, if you so choose.

Yes. It will be possible to play it through your dvr first but it will be in real time so a 1h show will take an hour for your dvr to capture it.

If mono and gtk will run on the system then the language will work on the system.

Maybe they could start by creating a Xen enabled MS kernel. Virtual Windows sounds much safer.
