but anyway, yeah it looks it might be faster but that's not my point, my problem is that it's illogical in this case, since the data is already stored somewhere else and having two copies adds the unnecessary worries of keeping them synched
about storing music info outside of the files and in meta-data, does this make sense for mp3 files? The convention is to store it in ID3 tags and if you store it as meta in the file system as well then you get duplication...
Well what we did was we just hooked up cables to computers and to the hub, booted up the pcs and they all just took their IPs and were all networked. The pcs did it themselves. Whether I'm familiar with the exact process doesn't matter because I wasn't involved at all in the configuration, the systems did it all themselves.
And talking about getting a newbie to be proficient with Linux, does that one hour include an introduction to a common text editor such as vi or emacs and some config files? In my limited experience, those are a bitch....
meh I don't do any networking, just have been using windows for a few years now, when I had a small lan party at my home a week ago, the network set up took 5 minutes, every windows box took up 192.168.0.x where x was from 1-4 and we were launching redeemers at each other sooner than we expected
windows is easy and there is nothing you can do about it:)
So, now when you click on a link that has a million pop-ups and you decide that you don't want to look at all that crap and just shut down your browser... oh no! You can't, because it's also your entire UI.
You've never actually tried killing that iexplore process, have you?
Instead of writing crappy web pages for a specific non-standards-compliant browser, you could create GOOD webpages that work within standards and can be viewed/used by ANY browser
You haven't done any web development, have you. If you code according to standards those have to be 1995 standards because Navigator doesn't dig anything more recent .

Have you looked at the links posted in one of the comments to this/. article?
Actually he also mentioned that standards are never specify every feature required by customers and to satisfy customers a product has to go beyond a written-up standard specification.
Minidisc players are becoming more popular faster than mp3 players, at least at my school. The medium is just so much cheaper.
And have you ever put your CD player in your pocket? It only fits in my coat while my MD recorder fits anywhere.
Yeah man, error checking is for weanies! Us netscape engineers don't care if that pointer that was returned is actually a NULL error code and will crash the whole browser...
far more beholden to the common interest than a converted Communist/Stalinist superpower like Russia with a chip on its shoulder about becoming a dominant player so it can help its buddies, like the Serbs, and sell arms to terrorists and rogue nations.
Let's see, Russia supports Serbia, USA supports the KLA. Russia sells arms to terrorists and rogue nations and so does the US. Yep sounds perfect...
But how are they going to handle competing against someone that they can't just use their OS monopoly to push out of the market? Especially a company with the resources of Sony.
How about a partnership of Microsoft, NVidia, Intel?
Also, it looks like leveraging their OS is exactly what MS is trying to do. They hope to draw developers with their dominant and available DirectX API.
OK I agree with your post except the last line. VB definetly has advantages over perl in some situations.
Just think, if you have to write a little COM component that all it does is get something from an Access database and return it and it also has to be maintainable by the manager's teenage son/daughter. Do VB's virtues become apparent now?

LimeWire's UI is slow as hell compared to anything non-Java on my computer. It is definetely not "very responsive".

I call your bluff :)
You didn't actually do all these measurements, did you?

IE? pfff come on, I'm currently developping web applications, and you know what that DAMN FREAKIN IE IS PISSING ME OFF BIG TIMES!

I bet you weren't around back in the day when web developers had to test on Navigator as well

An even better idea would be to post the 500 names/addresses/pictures on the forum so that all of slashdot can get a shot at them freebies.

Actually the index of refraction is not directly related to density.

Not sick. If you bothered to read the replies you would have seen the supporting info on his post.
Wont fit in any pants I own...

Sounds like maybe he ran out of GDI resources.

I find this thread very interesting but I can't understand your comment. I think the thick sarcasm isn't helping at all.
Yeah you could buy the MSDN CDs or you could order the free subscription like I did.

This is the best, most appropriate, awe-inspiring Slashdot comment I have ever seen! WOW!
You do not have to pay for the DirectX SDK. I downloaded one for free recently off their site.
Maybe you mean the Xbox SDK?
