The majority of the source is available, but FOSS zealots love to complain about a number of binary blobs that exist within the DD-WRT source tree. There are also special versions of DD-WRT only available by purchase.
Facebook has crowdsourced the majority of the work involved in its foreign-language translations, and as far as I know, it's not faced any legal repercussions because of it.
If I just shut down explorer.exe in XP and try to go about launching applications and trying to get the OS to do various things, I think some things will fail since the shell isn't running.
Have you tried? Sure, launching things from the Task Manager is inconvenient, but nothing really breaks because Explorer isn't running.
It may also depend on the IDE version, perhaps. I've seen this in both the student version of the full VS2010 distributed through DreamSpark and the free Visual C++ 2010 Express; perhaps the MSDN-distributed version of VS2010 includes IntelliSense components these don't.
It wasn't contrived and forced like in Duke Nuke'm Forever.
Given the massive amount of awesome Gearbox pulled off with Borderlands, I was really disappointed with DNF. Then again, when you're given shit to polish, you're still polishing shit. I'm still really hopeful that, given their own IP to work with, Borderlands 2 will be just as enjoyable as the first.
Windows 7 on my desktop, laptop, and netbook. Despite the historic opinion of Windows around here, 7 provides a very solid, stable, and importantly, a usable desktop environment.
Serving static content from a subdomain or just another domain (e.g., Facebook's fbcdn.net) can also improve the load times because the browser won't have any cookies associated with that domain, and therefore won't lose time sending a pile of irrelevant content along with every HTTP request.
No. When Wubi breaks, it breaks hard. This is a bad option. These days, repartitioning is point-and-click off a live CD; there's no good reason for Wubi other than laziness, which is still a bad reason because in this case, said laziness may very well come back to bite you on the ass later.
It launched instantly, and everything was amazingly fast (for someone use to the 386, where waiting for things was just normal).
The extra RAM also helped amazingly with the stability, too. I tried putting Windows 3.11 on a 166MHz Pentium with 64MB RAM years ago on a lark, and was shocked at just how performant the installation was. I mean, you couldn't really do much due to the lack of modern backported software, but what it could do, it did fantastically.
No, it was done because the NT kernel in 7 is hardly different from that in Vista, so technically, it was just a.1 increase. While they could have artificially increased it, they actually did the right thing by making it 6.1.
Pardon me if I'm not understanding your setup or your problem properly, but in your Network and Sharing Center (Control Panel, Network and Internet, Network and Sharing Center), you should find a list of all connected networks with their various non-descriptive names (“Network 2”, how useful). Under the network name, it should list the “location” of the network (“Home network”, “Work network”, or “Public network”), and if you click on that label, you should be able to change the location. Helpful, or am I off by a mile?
I've had other issues with NetBeans not working properly at lower levels under OpenJDK. The best workaround I've seen for the GTK+ LaF sucking is to not use it. Activating the Nimus LaF is pretty easy and it provides a much more tolerable work environment, even if it doesn't fit the colour scheme of your desktop environment quite as nicely.
I have programmed with dojo several years and if you go to www.dojocampus.org you have quite a good documentation outside of that, there are several really good books.
Or you could just use jQuery, which has good official documentation, a good community, and is faster to boot.
I think Twitter is an interesting case because it's already been hugely popular once before, and is now bucking off the traditional social trend of being popular, fading, and dying by adding at least one more wave” of success between the fading and dying stages.
If you're on Windows 7, you should check out what happens when you hit Win+Down twice (and maybe the other arrow keys while you're at it, if that one tickles your fancy). If Win+D is a nuclear bomb, Win+Down is a sniper rifle.
I'm probably one of the few people that actually use the menu key, too.
I also control my media player through global key combinations involving Super. I guess the fact I forgot about them when listing uses of Super shows how much of an automatic response they are.
...so that guys like you don't know the difference.
Then please explain: in implementation (on either platform), what is the functional difference between Enter and Return?
the windows key is useless, no one really uses it.
Unless you're 1) on Windows and 2) like saving time. In my case, Win+E and Win+R get used multiple times per hour, Win+L gets used every time I leave my desk, and Win+Pause is one of the first things I hit when I start work on someone else's computer.
Also, one thing that hasn't been brought up yet (that I've seen) is the misbehaving Home and End keys. They're supposed to move the input cursor to the beginning and end of the current line of input, not... whatever it is they do under OS X – I've never managed to figure out exactly what that is.
...but completely unplayable. IMHO, platformers are platformers because the game mechanics require you to be able to see in all directions at once, not just one. While this is shiny (and, if I'm not mistaken, something of a jab at modern FPSes with the achievement-like scoring system), it's just another gameplay style that I pray never gets implemented.
Hi – I'm the education, right here. I worked as a tech in a mom-and-pop service shop for a bit over two years. People would come in with spyware-infested machines, and rogue antimalware products were often involved. They'd ask why it happened, and we'd explain. And they'd have questions, and we'd explain. And they'd act like they understood, and thank us, pay their bill, and head on their way.
Several times, they came back in again with more of the same problems a few months down the road.
People don't want to have to think, and common sense security – the best, most effective kind of security – requires conscious thought.
And actually, I'd say the situation is somewhat better with older people. If you can make them understand (analogies work best, I find) what's being dealt with, they're much more likely to latch on and do (or not do) what you tell them to.
The problem with a plain vanilla PostgreSQL/PHP is that it doesn't scale well, especially when you're talking about more than just a website. Sure, you can throw more hardware at the problem, but there comes a point where it's more cost-effective to use different backend technology to do the data processing even if you're still using traditional web scripting (Perl, PHP, or even Python or Ruby) for the frontend.

VS2010 includes no IntelliSense for unmanaged C++ code – that is, C++ that doesn't use .Net.

Or you could just, y'know, scroll down to the bottom of the page and read the actual replies instead of the fakes at the top of the page...

I know when running under Linux, you've got to use the Sun/Oracle-provided JDK. OpenJDK doesn't play nice with NetBeans.
