1) VB doesn't work well with source code control - it has unnecessary binary files (*.frx, *.ctx) and it's text files create bad diffs because the IDE flips lines around and changes case of identifiers
2) COM components in VB don't keep the same GUID from time to time (depending on what changes you're making). This causes build problems because when the component's GUIDs change, you have to change all the other projects that reference them. This can be a huge timesink in development.
3) VB6 is unsupported and is a black box, which means no one else can support it either
This method allows you to open up the aperture to get more light while retaining large depth of field.
An alternative is using deconvolution to retrieve the focussed image from the defocussed one. You'd have to know the point spread function, which I think you should be able to derive from knowledge of the optics.
I supposedly put a fraud a lert on my credit reports - the one I sent it to said it would forward it to the others. In the end, only 1 report has a fraud alert on it and that one doesn't work - they still give out my credit info!
Good idea, but I don't think you go far enough. After all, the nuts, bolts, tires, glass, bauxite etc that went into the car were probably made by a supplier to the auto company - surely they're entitled to their cut from subsequent sales as well?;)

So your advice is to never watch a football game in HDTV?:)
Your reasoning is backwards - their strategy would have to be to do something to require you to buy a new computer thus suckering you into buying a new copy of windows.
The problem is that if the authorities find out (via the player reporting back or _by_other_means_) that a player has been hacked, it's key will be revoked and all future blu-ray discs that are produced will not play on that player. And I gather that the encryption is serious, standard encryption this time round.
The problem for the blu-ray folk will be the "normal consumers" complaining when their player doesn't play the latest disc.
Hacking players, if it can be done, would break the entire system from a business perspective rather than a technical one.
If this really is the case then a small proportion of the savings should be able to be spent to give out free or very low cost digital->analog converters and everybody wins.
If it doesn't happen because the beneficiaries are too numerous and varied to fund it then it's a job for government.
Suppose that a person doesn't want to buy photoshop for $500 (too expensive), but it's technologically impossible to copy it, AND they really needed an image editing program - then they would probably buy something cheaper like Paint Shop Pro.
So an unauthorized copy of Photoshop is more likely a loss for JASC than for Adobe. Of course a lot of those people would just use Paint if they couldn't copy Photoshop (they don't really need it)

It's true, though, that a TV-like device that uses 2/3 of the power on standby that it uses when fully on NEEDS FIXING!!!
I'd like to see that number quoted on the specs, which the government could enforce.

From lessons learned from therac-25...here we see error #4 being repeated :)

"Hack it the way they want"

Customers cost money to acquire - Netflix already has many customers.
They are like a Netflix asset. Amazon will have to spend the money to catch up.
If Intelligent Design generates a hypothesis, which is then tested and found to be false, this will not invalidate Intelligent Design.
The explanation that "we just misinterpreted His intentions" is always available as an alternative to rejection.

it's more for different, not more for less. you can't watch a dvd on a portable psp-sized device.
plus of course the price is based on volume, not just "size".
i take you point though - it doesn't seem anything near good value to me
but the heat is leaving the room via the heated water flowing out of the end of the tube, right?
Some of the money you give to netflix goes to the movie companies and then to the MPAA.
If the LCD refresh rate is 60 Hz, then the response time cannot be any _faster_ than 1 / 60Hz = 16ms.
I guess that isn't much of a constraint. is that a correct interpretation though?

I find C++ very good for machine vision software, and only OK for GUI programming.
It's fast and has many features that give you flexibility in design (templates, multiple inheritance, operator overloads etc).
For GUI I prefer C# or Visual Basic.

i think that just puts you back in the position of SMP - you have to deal with synchronization between the 2 parts of the cache again.
exactly. since the patch is new software, the only way the government is getting it early is if everyone else is getting it late.
it's also, bad on the government's part to be complicit in this witholding of security fixes - it makes the country less secure, not more secure.
Do you think that when people talk about conduit they mean metal or hard plastic (PVC?) pipes?
I was thinking of smurf tube, which I don't think would be resistant to a drill
I've seen this before - java only. The good thing about this is that it's multi-language on the backend.
The problem for those cable businesses is that the government can forcibly tax people to lower their prices.
