Okay, I buy that - It might even be instinctual. Back when Og met Augustus it made sense. Does it now? I'll let you know after Y2K.
I'd like to add assertiveness. Poor Charlie Brown, so wishy-washy. But is that really the type of person you want to be with for the rest of your life?

17 and younger are often required to be accompeted by an adult. (18 or higher)
If something happened to the 17 year old while unattended, comdex would uninsured. It's a common practice.
I imagine that they realize that it would be hard to keep track of a 17 year at Comdex, and therefore just ban kids in general. Comdex is not Disney World, you know.
I imagine that if the 17 year old CTO promised to stay with the 18 year old CEO, Comdex would be okay with it.
God, I'm almost 24 and I'm already starting to feel like I'm over the hill, especially on Slashdot.
It looks like Contemporary Logic Design revolves more around state logic than actual implemetion. Computer Organization and Design is more the physical layout. It's kind like comparing Spice to Renrior - different tools for different approaches.
This book seems to get really heavy into state logic, which is really not as important as implementation. You can solve any problem by adding states, but it just slows things down. Being able to implement good forwarding, hazard detection or parallel logic seems to be a more important skill these days.
I was following the game on a day by day basis. Things I learned:
1) Given a good leader, the world put up a damn good fight. I'm not sure how many positions were analized but it was really a good group effort. Even deep blue would have been in trouble.
2) Style is everything. There where several points in the game where the world could play offensively or defensely. For the most part, the world played offensively almost with reckless abandon.
3) MS sucks. They really tryed their hardest to put the world at an disadvantage. Only one of the anylists was allowed to follow the discussion board, and they where not allowed to talk to each other.
4) Trolls suck. The discussion board was full of garbage posts and flamebait - it was a wonder that anything got done. On top of that, any Joe that came along could vote what he liked without even discussing the alternatives.
5) I want a replay. PR stunt or not, most of us in the know learned a ton of stuff from GK. My rateing probally has tripled since the start of the game. The slow pace was nice, kind of like a school class. I'd like to see more games played (or at least followed) this way.
Yeah, the watashi stuff (Z for those of us who hate romaji, who know kanji, AND have SJIS decoders) is really annoying. I'm suck in "polite" mode mostly myself.
Learning "ú-{OEê these days is best done with furigana and not romaji.
I would like to see an international slashdot someday. Post in your native language and slash will translate it into another, or maybe have non-english threads. I need to constantly practice to keep my language skills intact, and this would be a neat way to do it.
BTW: I'm thinking about learning Chinese next.(which one I don't know yet) Any good web resources out there?
A nice built in language translator would be cool - of course I would not be able to use flat mode anymore because my browser would have to keep changing encodings... (SJIS and BIG5, for example)
Hmmm, something to think about. Any of you out there have any experence with unicode webpages?
And where can I get a kana keyboard in US? I hate romaji.
If you like computers, don't use your brains to hack systems, invade other people's privacy, and take away their networks. Hacking can get you in a whole lot more trouble than you think and is a completely creepy thing to do. If you're so smart, use that computer to do great things!
Some Linux device drivers for my printer would be nice...
What's with the "creepy" thing? Don't tell me that lingo is back in style...
NT Server. When three registry settings are worth $500, you know you're getting a deal.
I've played this game. I was bored one day so I thought I'd see if I could get my NT WS PC to be a Primary Domain Controller(PDC). My using a NT server cd and we bit of hack the registry, I was able to get to browser service to run and send out NT server election packets.
What was interesting was that the NT server would release control, but because it would not go automatically to BDC status, it would launch a new election after a few minutes. Even on a SAMBA machine with OSLEVEL set to 255, the NT server would not give up until the browser service was manually restarted on the NT server (the real one)
Is there a way to make samba demote a NT PDC to BDC status now?
You can do some really neat stuff with their Journaling File System./usr geting too small? No problemo, just add another drive, bump of the number of Physical/Logical Partitions, and voila!
I think AIX 4.3.2 is 64-bit native too for that new RISC chip...
I've seen the ploy - Rebates. All the prices on the site will be jacked up, and you won't be able to by anything cheap without a e-wallet account.

Thank god. Sorry, but I really have given up on CORBA. It has yet to provide everything it promised. The OMG seem to have their head in the ground recently. I will be following Kanossa very closely.
Personally, I've become great supporter of COM, mostly because I program with it everyday. It's such a timesaver, if you do it right. It's too bad that there are no open source implentations of it. I know, it was made by Microsoft, but that does not mean it was a bad idea, just unforunately a propritary one.
Shared libraries are okay at long as there is good backwards compatability, which for Linux seems not to be a big problem.

...the voyager probes just keep going... and going... and going...
I'm constantly amazed by the engineering of the early space probes. They must of been designed to be more rigid and stronger than diamonds.
So when Jan of 2000 comes around, what are they going to make it do next? Deep space probe number 4?

In Vb there are at least four different APIs to develop DB applications
Actually, it's around 7.
Shall we?
VBSQL
DAO
RDO
ADO
LDO
DDO
(I'm missing some...)
For the back ends you have
OBDC
MSSQL
OLEDB
never mind the third party ones like Oracle.
I'll tell you two thing I which Linux Development had:
1) Browseable type libraries
2) Context sensitive help.
Give me both of these, and I'll ditch windows for good.
