It's not documented. If you go by the official Microsoft documents for Win32, there is no relationship between processes. You cannot find a process parent and you cannot know enumerate process children. Theoretically a parent process would hold the child process handle in the application but that's not the same thing as just asking the O/S what your children are.
Nah. We Europeans don't need backdoors into US military hardware. We outsourced our military operations to the US anyway. Any participation in anything military is purely symbolic
Hmmm, the French would beg to differ, me thinks.
And, in any case, not entirely so, and there's a couple of things the US should arguably license from Europe.
1) The German type 212 submarine. It's cheap and it can be used for littoral warfare. Our nuclear navy is cool and all but at some level we just need to have more ships.
2) Panzerhaubitze 2000. Pan European design, German lead really. The Dutch operate this thing in Afghanistan, and it has some flaws, but its better than anything the USA has now in mobile artillery. The now cancelled Paladin was based on this, and as a result, the USA has to fall back on some pretty ancient stuff.
There are some Americans who prefer the FAL to the M-16. I've shot the civilianized (non-full auto) FAL and the AR-10 and AR-15 and I have to admit the FAL is a pretty good rifle to just shoot although it is heavy and jams a bit more than even our own.
Because, in the world of Windows, Windows doesn't really know what an application is. It has processes and windows and that's it. You can and will have a single process with multiple root windows, so, if you go by that, you screw the users - indeed, with Office actually.
If you go by processes, a very fundamental design difference between Windows and Linux begins to show. In Windows, processes do not have parents. If one process spawns another, they are always peers. So, while in Linux, once could theoretically make a graph of an "application", and do an "application limit" count, in Windows, you really can't.
A simple case in point would be if you have a browser and an EXE associated with it, or, launch a browser from an EXE via ShellExecute...
It's just a dumb idea. Microsoft is going the route of GM. They used to be aggressive and innovative, for the people that liked them, and now, every time they do something cool, they do something stupid twice over.
PS. I'm still bitter about SVG not being in Internet Explorer.
Every time info gets stolen. It's the reds, those commy bastards! Can we please move on its been 20 years.
First the Chinese are always busted with unsubtle spying operations like this, and the Chinese have aspirations of displacing the United States as a superpower. One could argue that the other block, the European Union, would be culpable but they are a JSF partner first, and have better spies anyway. If the Europeans, particularly the British, were spying on us, we just wouldn't know it.
It could be the Russians, but, they tend to have really good ground intelligence and would probably just pay someone to fork over the plans.
You could theoretically make excuses for the cameras, but, man, when the British are blocking porn, you know that island nation has hit a rough patch in its history.
The Catholic church is widely regarded to be the most wealthy organization in the world, by a long shot.
The only way the Catholic Church is worth a hundred billion of anything is when you calculate its worth in Lira.
It's really not rich. The most recent estimate is that the Vatican is only worth about a billion dollars. The church hasn't really had a giant amount of money since the late dark ages, and then after that they lost all their dough to various asset seizures by broke European Kings. Henry the 8th comes to mind... but he wasn't the only one.
For some reason I think I've read that were Jupiter a star at its present size, if such a thing were even possible, at the distance to the earth it wouldn't be too horrible. The closest approach between Jupiter and Earth places is nearly twice as far as the Sun is from Mars. It might jack up the temperature by a degree and melt all the icecaps on earth, but other than that, it wouldn't be too big of a deal...
So the opening of the iron curtain, German unification, replacement of several currencies with the Euro, standing up to a certain US OS producer is not ?
If there was anyone in Europe to thank for the Berlin Wall coming down, it would be Margaret Thatcher. When even Ronald Reagan grew uncertain as the Cold War rhetoric ramped up, it was Thatcher alone that held the line against communism, warning Reagan so famously: "Ronnie, don't get wobbly on me now."
Twice in one century, Great Britain gave the West great leaders to stand against tyranny when it needed them most. That's a pretty good record to be proud of.
My 30% reduction came from a back of the envelop calculation that looked at the replacement of a large percentage of coal gigawatts with nuclear power.
Next to the fireplace, with my son sitting on my back. Doesn't get any better than that. I would have thought it distracting to work from home like this, and instead I think I've written more, and better code, than I have before. Just awesome. One thing I could improve, would be to have some music going... but that's just laziness on my part.
It's a 1.2GW plant. The current order is for four reactors, for 8 billion dollars. The price is expected to fall to about 1 billion per reactor. China has a goal of building 100 reactors by 2020. IF the USA built that many, it would cut power plant greenhouse gas emissions by 30%, or the equivalent of nearly a million windmills.
Moreover, I don't understand the problem at all. Embryos aren't humans. They are clusters of cells. They are by no means sentient or intelligent.
Hey, that's a lot of subjectivity in there. I could make up any definition really, to say you aren't human, and from there, harvest all your parts. We only really say that embryos aren't human because they can't argue with us, and we can't see them. But, if it ever came out that eating a black guy would make white poop gold nuggets, there would be no black people. They'd be hunted to extinctions.
Killing humans is just the way people are. I know it may sound a little crazy, but with so many gray areas about what is human and what is not, maybe we need to reconsider if genocide is actually wrong. Maybe its not.
It's too expensive for a private bunch of people to do, but eventually, spaceflight will get to the point where say, a bunch of white supremists could just bail on earth and set up a little nazi state on the moon, or a bunch of enviros disgusted by humanity could set up shop in their new world of mars.. there's ultimately a place for every ideology to live in. We don't have to learn tolerance if we can just get ourselves into space. There can be worlds for blacks, for whites, for gays, for catholics, protestants, democrats, republicans, and everybody can just have their own planet. maybe humanity is just like a giant cell of information that has accumulated so much it simply has to divide. we spread out across the galaxy, lose touch with each other, dividing, and dividing, until the enviros, nazis, protestants, whites, blacks, catholics, jews, all become separate species and evolve differently.
I would think that if the point of science is to learn how to do something to benefit mankind, what better thing can science do than to have man learning how to live in space?
Compared to that, there's no useful reason to really send a robot into space. Trivia about other planets is nearly as useful as hard facts about how people would live there.
I worry about that myself. The biggest thing I worry about is that my son will turn out to be evil or worthless and I'll have to use my dying breath to kill him in disgust. I might have to collect a sword or two and tell him stories about Ivan the Terrible's kid. Ivan the Terrible's only son was bad, so Ivan lost his cool and chopped him in half. Ivan was, well, Terrible...
The sad irony of your post, is that, if you let your kid get that out of hand as an older child, only means that you did not establish authority when they were younger. I think the earlier you establish your authority, the more likely a child is to be good, and the longer you let it go, the worse a child is likely to get. Love children yes, but, raising them is an act of conscience construction.
AS it is, if you got put in jail by your own kid, why is he still alive? I mean, a felony already ruined your life. You may take one for the team, did society a favor, and gave him something to really call the cops on you about.
While rational, your point does not coincide with the values of our society. So they won't be very receptive to those ideas
What do you mean? America is a society that really doesn't like children at all. It's only that Europeans and Japanese positively hate children that makes America seem child friendly.
Have you ever taken toddlers out with you and gotten a bunch of dirty looks from all the people? It's like, you shot someone. People should like to hear children laughing and stuff and instead everyone expects them to sit in silence in public places. What kind of a screwed up society is that!
Similarly, we have no problem blowing tons of money on old people, spending hundreds of billions on medicare and medicaid so grandma can get a new pacemaker on the public dime, but lets see what happens if you suggest that grandma just dies so that kids can get better schools.
I mean, I'm pro-life, and yeah, mom's life is more valuable than the child. Mom can get pregnant again and has chores to do for Daddy, not to mention providing for the other children. If you had to make the terrible choice between mom and a child, I'd say the lose the child.
Now, when mom gets old, that role gets reversed. Like, once you retire, the kids become more important than you.
And use all the exact same lettering and look that Google has. People look at LiveSearch and instinctively recoil in the horror. It would be helpful if LiveSearch did something that Google did not do, which would be to not include google bombed link farms, or, for that matter, Experts Exchange, every time you do a tech search..
There's a lot of ways that Microsoft could leverage the desktop into search... and they are just being stupid. If you wanted a good search and wanted to go at Google, just bundle the search cost into the USA and have a search that does not bias its results based on advertisements in the way Google is perceived. Have it let users remove ALL advertisement from web sites....
Just being another Google, or Moogle, doesn't get you very far.
The ABL... such a cool idea on paper, but 8 billion bucks later and no laser on the plane. They are using a chemical laser.. wonder if they should be using LED lasers...
The summary is wrong. It's not a browser add-on. It's a frame, loaded via HTML, like any other frame. It loads when you click a link on Digg.
In that case, I amend my post to "frames really make me puke.", followed by, "web sites that use frames to hijack other web sites really, really make me puke." I thought framejacking went out with the early 90s?

With the US trade deficit at around 600B a year, a cutoff of trade would benefit the USA enormously.
