I gave up on TV when I realized that I was often feeling bad for missing shows I wanted to watch and how meaningless my attachment to them was. It makes no sense to be emotionally manipulated by worthless entertainment. It doesn't hurt that the networks only pump out dreck nowadays. Other than small dose of news and educational shows I occupy myself elsewhere.
C was meant to be close to the hardware and have no unnecessary overhead at execution time. This was normal behavior at the time C was designed and it's initial evolution to ANSI C. The distinction between arrays and pointers only exists at compile time precisely because it was deemed an unnecessary burden to carry extra metadata around on array parameters at execution time.
Either you're horribly offtopic or you're trying to imply that MS has a right to secretly manipulate search results in their favor
MS has a right to return whatever results they want with Bing. It's a free service. They have no obligation to serve you impartially. Get over your unfounded sense of entitlement.
Because the shuttle connection is just sensationalist journalism. This will necessarily happen for any rocket that emits water vapor at the appropriate altitude. There are launches going up all the time so the occurrences aren't as easily correlated to the shuttle.
He has perseverance. Considering where they started from in the early days I'm amazed they have finally begun to have real prospects of success. Their electronics used to be an ramshackle mess of amateurish hacks held together with spit and duct tape. I would still never set foot on a manned spacecraft that they designed but congrats to them.
You ought get to work polishing your resume. Discretion is key in the defense community and blabbing about your job on Slashdot is a bad idea. For a start you should have phrased the question in a more vague manner rather than outright naming your employer. They will find out who you are and you can kiss any any access permissions goodbye in the near future.
I can't believe this doofus is trying to lay the blame on the OS. I had a fully functional X server running Linux in the early 90's on a 486/33. How they could screw up the coding so bad as to drag a 400MHz processor to its knees is just amazing. The flavor of Linux involved is irrelevant. There was so much layering of interpreters and scripts that the house of cards couldn't help but be dog slow. If the smalltalk junk hadn't been somebody's pet project before OLPC the system might have had a chance of working well.
This is just a CAPTCHA implemented with a secret decoder ring. All is takes to crack is a motivated individual to create an optical simulation to process the image into something that can be OCRed. That final step will be easier that what they have to do today since the text can't be distorted too heavily without the risk of too many failures from legitimate users.
If that were in any way possible, we'd be seeing it now.
Actually in a limited scope is is possible to synthesize the speech of a real person. The only problem is that the researcher who came up with the system was DARPA funded and his project went black after it was initially reported on in the media. There was some footage of him with a recreation of Whoopi Goldberg's voice saying novel things. This is a technology that the spooks want exclusive control over for as long as they can.
I don't think that Apple should be forbidden to do what they have done
Really? They made a non-functional tweak to their software that just so happens to impede interoperability with a competitor's product. This is the same as MS tweaking Windows 3.1 so that it would be unstable if run on top of DRDOS. It is disappointing to see Apple sink so low with clearly anti-competitive behavior. I would venture that most iTunes users already have an iPod and are actively using the store so it's not like Apple is losing out in the process.
You can concatenate anything onto the end of a GIF image and still have a valid file without any limit on payload size. The classic example is to append a zip file which keeps its "headers" at the end of the file and doesn't measure any offsets from the beginning. This allows you to attach anything to a GIF without having to have special tools to extract the payload.
The last few cost increases have been primarily to cover the 1 billion dollar endowment Congress ordered them to create. There is also the rising cost of the pensions for the retirees who were working in the inefficient stone age of the mail service to take into account.
Ever tried do to remote X over, say, a 2Mb/s connection?
While one can't deny the value of a compressed X protocol, a lot of the performance issues come from the modern toolkits that are heavily dependent on pixmaps for drawing everything. Athena, Tk, WxWidgits (in native mode), Motif, and Openlook all run pretty decently on a 2Mbit link. It's just when you throw GTK+ (especially Gnome apps) and KDE into the picture that the old-protocol-that-could gets bogged down.
I think a CS major today should be conversant in at least three languages by the time of graduation. At a minimum you should have knowledge of an assembly language to better understand how a microprocessor really works, a monolithic scripting language like Python or Perl, and a systems language like C, C++, or Java. From there it becomes easy to add on what you need as you need it because you begin to recognize toe commonality in how things are done between different languages so you just have to absorb the new syntax for the most part.
There is still a very limited scope for people to incite violence in the US which seems to be what was going on in this case. It is okay to express hatred toward other groups only as long no there is no threat of a violent act. This issue came up a few years ago when some militant anti-abortionists were forced to stop publishing lists of personal information on abortion doctors because they were connecting that to a message promoting bombings and malicious acts.
WinCE is the revamped continuation of the embedded Windows product line which as the GP stated doesn't require you to include anything beyond the base kernel.
Most non-dedicated GPS units do not have a compass (the new iPhone 3GS is a notable exception).
Most dedicated GPSs don't have one either. They derive your heading only when moving. I'm not poo-pooing a real compass since I have an eTrex Vista and I just used its compass to re-aim my antenna but it's not a killer feature that I use often. Before somebody chimes in with a smart comment about using a dedicated compass be aware that a GPS coupled unit can do what no ordinary compass can do which is to apply automatic declination correction based on your location so that the reading is true north rather than magnetic north.
It's silly to run at 80Hz. You will get more video bandwidth by running at 72Hz. This could be enough to improve the performance of an aged CRT. You may also be able to do 1600 x 1200 although that gets a little blurry on 17". This is why I stick with a 21"CRT for my primary display since I can get the flexibility of a wide range of resolutions and the high resolutions are better than what you can get in an affordable LCD.
How do you easily lockdown IE to a similar extent without sacrificing additional functionality?
Don't run with admin privileges. The exploits (if they can run at all) can't do much but trash the settings for that account and any writable storage but not the Windows system folders.
You just don't get it. You have to use the right lossless format that's harmonically balanced with your speakers and cabling or you're just going to get trash out. With a mismatch, at best you'll get a limited sound stage and lack of presence especially when playing punk or thrash metal.

You never know. They might get a hottie like Netrebko to do a performance.

Now we finally have the technology to experience the richness of an enhanced web 2.0 version of the ever popular mouse trails.

How is this cookie supposed to work for lookups from apps other than a web browser?
Duh, CDs are for old people. The RIAA should concentrate on expanding into the untapped market of North Korea.
