Wait a minute. They can hardly rely on data from the MSRT, given Microsoft's own assertion that users running pirated Windows don't use Windows Update.
Of course the infection rate as reported by the MSRT will be low, if it never gets run on the pirated (and therefore infected) machines.
I've seen developers who can't touch-type and that is pathetic when such a skill means so much to getting the job done.
I have to disagree here. Typing is most definitely not the bottleneck when it comes to coding - thinking is.
I consider myself a perfectly good developer, and I can't touch-type in the traditional sense (I can type at a decent rate using most of my fingers, but I have to look at the keyboard every now and again.)
I also think this is actually a decent idea. The only problem is that it takes a bit of user configuring, and will also make changes to the page on Wikipedia as well as the "internal" version.
You could also just keep a server running that mirrors Wikipedia for the pages that you want, and uses said regexes to insert the internal links then. Transforming at compile time rather than runtime, if you will.
Agreed. Sure Linux "just works", after you figure out how to use the console, install a new wireless manager, find all the random configuration files you need to change and change them, figure out how to install proprietary graphics drivers so your display doesn't suck, etc etc etc...
Windows, on the other hand, actually does "just work" right off the bat. Of course, if you want it to not suck, there's still a bunch of work to do; installing Firefox/other non-IE browser, removing crapware, etc etc. But most Joe PCs don't bother with this and manage to get their work done without any significant setup.
In any operating system. Try the file menu.
You do have to have an internet connection the first time you open Steam, but after that you can switch to offline mode and then play indefinitely with no internet.
Slashdot Mirror
Actually, no - he needs to remove the open brace after "if (sleeping)". That way the else clause matches up.
No, we've got over 50 toothbrushes now.
Imagine that! A whole fence made out of toothbrushes!
I was assuming that when he said Europe, he meant France and England.
How's your education system going? Any improvements?
Obviously not, or he'd know that there are more than 4 countries in the world.

With Telephone... You make the call!
Lol viruses? Get a Mac. Oh wait.
Defragging the "hard dick"? Given the context, I can't tell if that's a typo or not. :/
I just typed POA into Wikipedia and found the Prison Officer's Association. It helps if you start with the right acronym.
