  1. Re:Invest in space heaters! on Sometimes, Microsoft is Right... · · Score: 1

    Let's see... hell froze over, and the first advice is, "invest in space heaters".

    What does this say about where /.ers read from?


    Space?

    Hoare invented CSP which is a more powerful model

    What's the CSP? Please?

    There's all sorts of margin around the Start menu

    there's no margins there on winxp

    I would concentrate all efforts to building an observatory on the moon.

    How do you know there isn't one already there?

  7. Re:w00t? no dynamic class loading? on C# From a Java Developer's Perspective · · Score: 1

    Loading precomiled code is a far different thing...

    it's not far different, it's identical to what ASP.NET does actually

  8. Re:What *interview*? on Visual C++ and C++ Standard · · Score: 1

    As to the future of C++ in MS' plans, C++ is the only low-level language Microsoft has left. Although it is pretty much useless in the .NET-Web-Service world, there are still a few people writing traditional software left... such as Quake and Office for example...

    Giving up C++ would be pretty much equivalent to giving up all future development on Office and Windows, so I bet C++ will last a long long while in the Microsoft toolbox.

    no, just using IE's built in Folder View for FTP sites, it's been there for a few versions now

  10. Re:i'm going to suffer for this but... on KDE Wins 3 awards · · Score: 1

    You and others are slightly missing the point. KDE can open, save, cut,copy and paste files directly to and from ftp urls, samba shares etc. No more hassle with special ftp upload programs! This is an area where KDE is ahead of windows

    Nope, not missing anything, windows can do that too.

  11. Re:Pathnames on MS DOS: A Eulogy · · Score: 1

    you can copy the files over during the move and since the path doesn't change none of the reg entries are affected

  12. Re:XP first, Linux distro second on Dual Booting with Windows XP? · · Score: 1

    So GRUB didn't overwirte the MBR in my case? I thought that's how bootloaders work. Maybe XP is different.

  13. XP first, Linux distro second on Dual Booting with Windows XP? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm dual-booting with XP, no problem. Install XP first, then Linux distro and let it's Lilo/GRUB write over XP's loader.

  14. Re:driver's license argument on Ellison's ID Card Plan Gets More Attention · · Score: 1

    If this were to be the case, we would no longer live in a country where Rule by Law prevailed, but rather in a tyrannical state where we are ruled by Will. Let us pray this never happens.

    No, it's "intents and purposes", actually. What in the name of god is an "intensive purpose", you retard?

    Love said that this patch even if added to the main tree would still be a config option.

  17. Re:Winamp authors on Winamp Alpha for Linux · · Score: 1

    Just because they have corporate sponsorship and their software is closed-source doesn't mean the software is 'bad'. Hear hear! WinAmp is the best Win32 code to grace my machine.

    A friend of mine just got a brand new Sony VAIO for US$999, Apple's got nothing close that in the low end. Some Dell and maybe Toshiba and perhaps some other manufacturers make notebooks with better price performace ratios than the iBook.
