It is as important to Windows, once running in GUI mode, as grub or lilo would be to Linux if it weren't cleared from memory once the kernel loaded.
Is this the official party line? Does Linux call any grub or lilo code after it's booted? No. Does Windows 9x call any DOS code after it's booted? Yes, all the time. Have you forgotten the investigation that Matt Pietrek and Andrew Shulman did?
It pops up a dialog that says, "Windows can perform the same action each time you insert a disk or connect a device with this kind of file: Program" "What do you want Windows to do?" "Open folder to view files with Windows Explorer" "Take no action". That's not autorun. Autorun is when it executes the program automatically. You know--without asking what I want to do.
Weight counts for something too. A lighter laptop will cost more, even if it has slightly lower specs. The XPS M170 starts at 8.6 lbs (which is quite heavy), whereas the MacBook Pro is 5.6 lbs (about average).
P.S. The XPS M170 you linked to has a 2GHz Pentium M, whereas the MacBook I assume you're talking about has a 2GHz Core Duo. You fail it.
Dr. Leong worked at the FDA, and was the main government official responsible for setting the current standards for Microwave Ovens.
"Dr. Leong emphasized that the effects [of ionizing radiation] are cumulative and long-term."
That's nice, but microwave ovens don't emit ionizing radiation. Microwaves are lower frequency (and hence lower energy) than visible light, and even visible light isn't ionizing. You have to get to ultraviolet before the photons have enough energy to ionize atoms.
Just because you don't personally know how to do something doesn't mean that it's not possible to do. I suggest you read the OSX online help to learn how to use keyboard navigation. Command-` cycles through the windows of an app.
OK, I get the distinction now, but I don't get why it matters. IIRC, this thread is discussing the feasibility of testing universal apps without having a PPC Mac, so why the focus on getting the bare binary to run under Rosetta, rather than the.app bundle?
Maybe if you're a numismatist. If you intend to do anything else with those coins, destroying them is a federal offense.
Not in the US... some other countries, such as Canada, prohibit destruction of the national currency, but the closest thing the US has to a law like that is USC 18 331, but that only applies to fraudulently altering, defacing, etc... a coin. As the US Mint's FAQ mentions, "As a matter of policy, the Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent."
Lots of tourist places have these "penny presses", where you put a penny and a quarter into the press, turn the crank, and it flattens out the penny and presses a design into it (generally related to the tourist site you're at), and of course, keeps the quarter.
I don't know whether you can force arbitrary fat binaries to run under Rosetta ("arbitrary" means "if I download the source to GNU Hello and compile it fat or for PPC only, can I run the resulting executable image under Rosetta?", not "can I tell Launch Services or whatever does this to launch an arbitrary.app under Rosetta?").
I'm not sure I understand the distinction you're making... perhaps the Forcing an Application to Run Translated section of Apple's Universal Binary Programming Guidelines has the answer to your question though.
The easiest way to run a fat binary under Rosetta is to open the Get Info panel on it and check the "Open using Rosetta" checkbox.
The new WINE code must somehow interface with the GDI32.DLL differently.
No, as others have been trying to tell you, WINE contains its own implementation of GDI32.DLL. It does not use Microsoft's. That's pretty much the whole point of WINE, ya know--to be able to run Windows apps without needing a copy of Windows.
It looks like a y with two dots over it when handwritten. That doesn't mean it is related in any way. E looks like an F with an extra line, but it would be incorrect to say that E was originally an F.
A short animation: "All of the film's images were created solely by using the photographic capabilities of a photocopying machine to generate sequential pictures of hands, faces, and other body parts."
If Microsoft would change the Windows Scheduler to properly treat an HT CPU by adjusting the way it distributes threads and processes to the two virtual CPUs,
In order for a work that is created by a freelance contractor to qualify as a "work made for hire"... The rules for employees are different. The employer clearly has the upper hand there.
Yes, well, this thread is about work done by employees, not freelance contractors. Please re-read the thread and note:
All work produced by a person during the course of his/her employment is owned by the employer, not the employee.
IANAL, but I don't think that [assignment of copyright to an employer] happens by default.
As the article notes, they coated an LED with the quantum dots and got white light out of it, so no, you don't need a laser. But even if a laser were required, I'm wondering why you think using one would be impractical. Lasers may have been exotic tech back in the '60s, but they're everywhere now--many consumer devices use lasers.
Since VMWare does not build a native binary for any platform other than Linux and Windows...
Why do you care? If FreeBSD will run the Linux binary with no performance degradation and with all the features that it would have if it were running on Linux, what difference does it make? I've never tried running VMWare under FreeBSD, so perhaps there are problems. You didn't mention any though, and in my experience, Linux apps run excellently on FreeBSD.
Slashdot Mirror
Autorefractor? They use those on adults too. I don't know how it tells when the image is in focus, but it does a pretty good job.
o rly?

It used to be possible to use Japanese characters on Slashdot, but that was removed for reasons unknown to me.

this is just more blathering nonsense
Indeed it is. Since when is that limelight? Go away and don't come back until you get a clue.

no thanks
I'm confused :(
Ah, Linux VM... where the implementation is completely changed like 100 times on the "stable" branch before they finally get it vaguely right.

And your comment is not relevant to this thread.
*checks date of post* *checks calendar* Um, Vista has been in beta for a few months.

Face it, you got pwned big time. YHL. HAND.
No, it used to be written ij, and it still is. Which is why the capital version is IJ, not Y with an umlaut.
It looks like a y with two dots over it when handwritten. That doesn't mean it is related in any way. E looks like an F with an extra line, but it would be incorrect to say that E was originally an F.
Yes, those "other body parts."
It does. See section 5. (Google HTML conversion of original Word document).
then there should be ... no penalty.
But there is. So what's your next suggestion for Microsoft?
