So if I have a pointer to x7123 and that is to be removed, and my next pointer points at x7999, and its a 10 byte data structure, move the values held in x7999, x799a, x799b,... x8002 to x7123, x7124, x7125... x712c
Since you already have a datastructs worth allocated at x7123 you shouldn't have a memory access problem, however you are leaking memory (at x7999)
And its much better re-write, Cyberpunk 2020. With the improved combat system (the first was taken from statistical analysis of real shooting statistics (system was called Friday Night Fire Fight) but the second made it easier to play!) and the ultra improved net-hacking section (so good it made me peak) forget magic.
And yes you had to avoid the dreaded cyber-psychosis if you got too much metal.
But to get back OT- YES. YES YES YES. THis is exactly where this technology is going. And you know thousands who would literally give an eye to have night vision/scanning/HUD/etc. So while it seems private practice and academia are pushing the envelope for the disabled, the military will have it first (some cyber-soldiers) and pioneer the field of augmenting those with two functional eyes.
Whats super exciting to me is that it seems our technological future has been sufficiently influenced by our science fiction. Wether that be our science is better or our fiction was just closer to reality, I don know. (the Gernsback Continuum by our man Gibson is a neat-o little story related to the future that never was).
A friend of mine told me about the night after drinking like a fish in China, he was BLORTED. (lets just pretend thats a word and move on...) So this girl he knows says "Drink this." and its this almost saturated salt and water solution. Its thick and gross, but he downs it.
A little while later he felt spry and energized. She said it was some type of malaria medicine.
You need to re-hydrate FAST. Salt helps retain water. I like the combination of Excederin (a little caffeine kick to get you going, but unfortunately also a diuretic!), water, and some salty food. Maybe some rice with pork sung!
When emeril is "on", he's on. But frequently he drags. The show drags. Its not entertaining.
The Naked Chef adds storyline- while you may be completely bored with his trip to the shore with his little cousin and annoyed by the video montage of his band playing, he's got something to keep you going.
Alton has a good mix of vignettes in a quick-cut style.
But that emeril. Sometimes he says funny things. Sometimes he says the exact same thing in the same way and its just not funny. Look at his sit com. That's why it blew chunks. Oh, and he uses WAY too much fat, butter, and sausage. I mean, it's dessert, for crying out loud!
Now that, coupled with the fact that he's always on just gets to me. Yep, I like him better than Bobby Flay and Martha, but I think he's over exposed.
I had to bring in my wife's laptop once in two years- and that was because I broke the pc card slot (don't drop the laptop on its side when the 802.11b card is sticking out...) I think that pretty much equalled out the price of the extended warranty!
He'll do a bunch of research before hand. If there was not time for that, I bet he'd simply ask around (thats how I found some great barbeque in Kansas city (not that thats hard, but the first two places I was "directed" to sucked.))
I find that the power of the DVD format is wasted on most movies. Frequently the extra content are a few lame scenes that didn't get any CG and aren't worth the film they were recorded on (yes, there are some exceptions, but I'm not enough of a fan boy to care!)
Really, the best things are 1) the crisper picture and 2) the ability to fast forward almost instantaneously.
Infact reason 2 is why exercise videos on DVD are super-fantastic! Just want to do Abs? Go to the Abs chapter! Work out too hard? skip to the cool down. And frequently there are a la carte options where you do one piece, it brings you back to the menu,then you quickly pick your next piece without resting too much between exercises.
At least, thats what I keep telling myself when my wife says "I just bought the 23 dvd workout set!" (don't laugh. its real! check out the quantity discount packages!)
The next logical question then is why doesn't slashdot submit the questions using the proper channels?
This has the two-fold benefit of having "our" questions answered and making them look good. That way I can glide past all the "look at how secretive and curropt the EPO is!" posts...
Its a litigious(sp?) world we live in, and it would be horrible for a blatantly bad patent application (you know, the kind that get approved in the US everyday?) to take the EPO to court based upon some answer that a guy (who just so happens to be employed by the EPO, therefor acts as their agent) gave, forcing the patent to be granted, and set the precedent for bad patents!
just becuase we are geeks doesn't mean we can't follow some rules.
yep, it's sugar free, and saccharin rich! 4 out of 5 dentists would recommend it to their gum-chewing patients, and it may reduce the risk of tooth decay.
I know, I have a cinnamon value pack right in front of me.
After the demise of Audio Galaxy (and even with AG things weren't perfect) getting the tracks you want can take days. Weeks. Months. and sometimes longer.
If I could pay 25 cents and get the mp3 in the time it takes to download (small on a cable modem) they satisfy the convenience criteria.
Sure- people will still trade and warez and whatever as long as its free- the cheapskate/money criteria. But for those of us who work and have some disposable income, I want the most bang for my buck. Sure I can make my own coffee, but its faster and easier to get Starbucks to make a caramel machiatto. Especially when theres one in the frickin' grocery store!
Infact, the true test is to see how this stands up against the P2P networks- there will always be people copying tapes, cds, software, etc. Negative reinforcement classicaly has not worked (look into a psych 101 text book). Give me a reason where I directly benefit (saying "its against the law" will get you laughed out of the cool kids lunch table).
Comment 4016034 in this thread answers your question and gives you a link to the report to back up the statistics. Nevermind your rule of thumb, "how many piano tuners are there in NYC?"-crappy job interview question-style deduction: this is a DoE report.
However I'm too cheap to pay $47 for a dead-tree copy of the report!
Where are the people who are most likely to understand technology issues and their implications?
Are they shopping at J. Crew? (hey! I shop at J.Crew!!!) Are they going to Britney Spears concerts? Are they in the malls?
Or are the electronically inclined listening to electronic music and are part of the culture that surrounds?!
When it comes to lobbying groups it is money first, numbers second, and then "social status" (WTF?!) dead last.
Perhaps a public tennis tournament would be buried under the US Open (which is currently for sale to the highest corporate bidder... I know because I've been in both the cheap seats and the oh-so-groovy, comfy, and very close corporate seats (not to mention the boxes, dear lord! the party boxes!))- unless the EFF can afford to be a major player in it.
Image is nothing. Money is everything. And if you can't get money, a whole mess of grass-roots activists are the next best thing.
And guess what? Them there ravers are going to be the power-elite of the future. Lets fill their heads with the good ideas now.
I'm pretty sure I once clicked through a EULA where I promised my first born son and regular virgin sacrifices...
The legality of certain portions of the eula are dubious at best. Not to mention that once something like this finally went to court, this sort of compilation of EULAs would be part of the discovery process!
You gotta love lawyers. Especially when one of 'em is your wife.
Code reviews can be very constructive. And even if they are "vicious" in terms of the minutiae they cover everyone learns. My favorite thing to do is to A) invite my office mate to my inspections- since he doesn't know any ADA he asks a WHOLE lot of questions- very good if you can answer them all, andif you can't, why not?
and now I invite B) the software architect. True he's a busy man but he goes through that code with a fine tooth comb!
In addition, frequent code reviews can also show what good code does look like. Start by reviewing YOUR code (the one that's 50% done). Then they have a model to work from.
Software Engineers don't code from scratch, they copy and modify!
true true, but if your machines are set up correctly, you don't have access to erase anything important (like in/etc) and the only things you can seriously screw up are your own home directory. In which case the last time/home was backed up is what you will end up with.
For a good sys admin, its a chuckle, however long it takes to mount the tape and de-tar it, whereas the crappy ones are the ones who have to come into work on the weekend.
Yes, I have wanted the true arcade experience at home. The rich buy the cabs outright. The crafty either refurb or make their own mame boxes.
But is there enough market for people who kinda want the arcade experience at home, without sweating for it? Aren't they served very well by most consoles?
It seems to me that this is not die-hard enough for the truely rabid arcade fans. However I would love for their sales figures to prove me wrong!
While the AC above me had the best definition of.NET, I'll try to take a swing (I was at a.NET developer "training class" (really, just a 3-day advertisement)) WARNING: I really don't remember much but this post should act as a good straw man for people to improve-upon. (kinda like software development!)
From the ground up,.NET needs to be defined as the.NET framework (Someone else on slashdot has already gotten to it... but to summarize)- you have this CLR- common language runtime env? Basically, this is what.NEt has grabbed from java. You compile to byte code, then you run your byte code.
In addition, the "international language" of.NET is XML sent through port 80 (oh, I'm sure a bunch of security-minded Sys admins won't mind that!).
So you have these microsoft development tools, you have a new international language, you also have much better version control- as they "love" to say, no.dll hell! Your apps are signed in the registry and if version 1 of your app needs the first version of a.dll, it can use it, and version two can use the newer one, they don't get confused.
On the higher level, the idea is that your web-app would make a "call" for these.NET services (call a couple of central servers, MSFT being one of 'em), the server would hook you up with somebody who was serving the info (lets say you want a currency conversion service), you two figure out what you guys need from eachother, and you get the data back.
I saw a book once that had a number of recipes using things found in most hotel rooms. The crowning acheivement was cooking raw chicken in a coffee maker! (put chicken in coffee filter. Put a full pot of water through 5-6 times or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Then, for the sauce...)
