"I've never met any scientist, today or otherwise, who call the speed of light the maximum speed limit."
To bad! According to current thoery proposed by Einstein, and many of his believers nothing can travel faster than the speed of light and that which does looses mass. The loosing mass part has been proven in lab test as a particle like an electron is accelerated to the speed of light it gets lighter. There have been many who believe that because of this, light is considered the maximum speed limit. Try watching discovery as that is where they mentioned this.
"But that doesn't mean that we will ever necessarily create a faster-than-light mode of transportation."
True, but maybe we'll find a way to bend space or warp time so that we do not need to travel faster than the speed of light, but that we can travel through time by bending space. There have been theories proposed that if you bend space and make two points that are light years apart at the same point in time then you can travel through space in a shorter period of time. It is actually confusing and better explained as if space were a sheet of paper. If you have a hole at two ends of this paper, and this piece of paper, then you fold the paper in half the holes are now much closer and the travel time is near 0 if these holes are next to each other. So the question then becomes is it possible to bend space?
"Not being concerned enough with your post to look at a dictionary or check for typos is also pretty lame."
If you are looking for billions of habital intelligent planets, your probably off the mark. I think that it is more likely that there are bacteria or something of that nature on some of these other planets. But that is just my opinion.
Fact is that if there was life on another planet we would not be able to get there with current technology and understanding of physics. It would take to long traveling at what scientists today call the maximum speed limit 'the speed of light'. Maybe someday when we understand space and time better but not now.
Watch Discovery channel now and then as they already went over alot of this stuff. They made a discovery a while ago and discovered how to detect the 'gas giants' as they call them (jupiter / sturn sized planets) orbiting a star by watching the stars wabble.
And for you real space fanatics http://www.spaceref.com/ and www.space.com are great sites.
Lastly I cant type and spell so don't point out my typoes and spelling errors it is really laim.
What defines a limited time? Currently Clause 8 refers more to patents than copyright.
Yes and my note on "Weve taken this to a bad place" refers to the fact that copyrights last longer than a 'limited time' and who in the public benifits from a cdrom that cost $17 USD other than the music companies. I know it does not cost them that much to manufacture them case, cover, artist and all.
How does science progress when a company owns an exclusive patent on technology? The company can choose NOT to license it or charge outrageously for it.
Do we the public benifit from paying for gif format? I don't.
Do we the public benifit from paying for 6 copies of XP so one can run it on 6 pc's at home or in the office? I don't.
Personally I don't think rap is a useful art, does that mean it should not get a copyright? (NO it should, no matter how much I dislike it)
Interesting to note that there is no mention of the 'we didn't violate Russian law' argument."
Is not a good argument. He was in the US when he was showing it which is what they are talking about. The reality is that the DCMA does have to much power. Copywright was supposed to be so that credit is given to he who deserves it not for the music companies to screw every by.
The whole idea of a copywright is so that if someone write a report or something then they can copywright it and if you use their ideas you are supposed to reference them. Copywright was made for documents like books and publications. We've since taken it to a bad place.
ditto.. I was an EE and am now a computer programmer / programmer / analyst. And a bad typist. I knew of lots of history an dlibreal arts majors who got into programming an dmarketing..
A degree from college does not necessarily mean this is the only thing you can do. If you become a doctor or lawyer then yes you have specific area of study, but most EE, CS, CE, Physics, Arts majors and some others the job can vary....
On a palm you can shut if off and when you turn it on it is where you left the device at. I think it would be neat too if this could be the way operating systems worked. Ideally one would be able to turn off the computer in the middle of an app and it would turn on at the same place it was left at.
Of course the palm does not do multitasking, multiprocessing or anything like that and when you close an app it is usually sent back to its initial state.
Maybe the way to do what this user wants is to take journaling to a next step, and rather than have a journeleing file system have a database file system where stuff is done in commits like a jfs. Then one could do rollbacks as well. This would require the whole system to be rethough out though.
I started using a spread sheet. I fill out the W2 sheet and it copies over the data to the Federal tax form. Then I fill out my Schedule B and Schedule D forms and the data from them is copied over to the 1040 Form and my state tax form. Then the only thing I have left is to look up the tax I owe. No calculations cause it is all done in a spread sheet. This can be done in excel , gnumeric, star office or any other spread sheet. You have to know what form(s) to fill out. But that is not that difficult. One you set up the spread sheet you just add to it and update it. Many of the tax forms really have not changed that much the only things that have changed are what you can itemize and the tax laws so the spread sheet should not change that much from year to year and you can add sheets as you need them. Next year I'll add 1099 sheets. It would be real nice if the US gov used these and distributed them. Think about it you just fill out the forms that you get for your taxes like 1099 and W2 and 4xxx.
If you have just one employeer and no interest or less than 400 in interest and no stocks or bonds or investments, you could probably use a 1040EZ. Other wise you may need a 1040.
Even if you did use turbo tax or one of the other programs you'd have to fill out your w2 forms, and 1099 and any other forms. I'd recomend breaking down and spending the 20 or 30 for Turbo Tax if you have lots of forms especially if you recieved some of those 4000 series forms.
Personally I think the goverment and states should be required at this time to send people forms that do the computations for you. There is no reason that they cannot.
I'm glad you like your tivo, I don't own a tivo or an ultimate tv, I have a vcr. Seems to work for me. Besides I am not that tided to a tv that I need to record my favorite shows if I cannot be there. I can miss them. That of course is beside the point.
My point is that you seem to think that Tivo is the only one thinking ahead. All I am saying is I theink microsoft is thinking ahead too. Also you never mention how tivo would compete against.net should the xbox be used as a platform for access to that. After palm came out with thir palms, a company came out with a keyboard for it, web came, phones, and modems. Do you think that the xbox is that limited that they cannot come out with a software upgrade to it that will add.net capability? Microsoft is not totally stupid.
That's awefully short sited. You also assume I was talking about just the XBox. What about when M$ comes up with XBox 2 or the Y Box or XBox 2005 or their next generation the "Ultimate Web Xbox". What happens if it has DVD-RW support or a built in hard drive to record data to? What happens if they add S video in / out and other connectors or sell them as addons? Those kind of additions are obvious and simple to add in. They could combine the XBox / Utimate TV / Web TV into one device. Watch TV play games and surf the web all at the same time! (To confusing for me) You know they could split the screen such that you could pause your game then surf the web. Or part of the game could be turn on to tv channel foo and watch blah and answer a question. Or log on to MSN and answer the following question. Or have your favorite tv show playing in a corner while playing a game. This is all software based and this is Microsoft anything is possible. Also remember that TV is all supposed to be going digital sometime in the near future.
Linux has a cult following too BFD!. I'm not saying it could be the end of Tivo, but they could create a system that may be more attractive to the masses and not care about a small cult following.
If they get their hands on a cable network like they want, then they could merge TV/games and computers into an internet device that does more than just allow one to surf the web like the little audry and web tv did.
Record TV, surf the web, and play games all in one, edit and send email as well as word docs and spreadsheets. While on line you can log into MSN and view your email and download to your home box and print them out or save them to dvd-rw or something. You can edit documents at MSN.net. All this in one device that fits smartly by your tv set.
Think outside the X Box. You can be sure they will..net, xbox, utimate tv, web tv, cable.. hmm where do you think they are going???
"I found the decision to more or less put UltimateTV on life support and discontinue active work on it interesting - that leaves TiVo and ReplayTV as the main standing competitors."
Yes, but which are you more likely to buy. A game machine that double as a tivo type device or a plain old tivo type device? If they can get the XBox to record TV while playing the Xbox then they are a step up on tivo I'd think. You could let your childern play during your soaps and then watch your soaps after the kids are done playing. While that is one scenerio.
I use gqview as it allows me to view files from my webcam or digital camera and rename them by right clicking on the file and also allows me to move them around and create directories. It works pretty well. Then when I want to preview a directory or a cdrom I have made from them, I use konqueror and have a directory of thumbnails in seconds. (I have a very fast machine with loads of RAM).
I can't think of anything better. I also have some directories that have over 1000 files in them, and using konqueror to view the thumbnails works like a charm.
I really can't think of why you'd need any other software to create a directory for you based on what you want to list the files under when it is so easy to do it in gqview. I.E. File -> new directory , then select files and then right click and move them to your directory. I guess by naming them as a category this save a step or two, but its really insignificant IMHO.
Step 5. Recompile all the applications from the original CD image.
Uh KDE can take a day to compile and with gnome there are hundreds of apps. That could take a week.
Great its optimized, how long does the install take, and how fast of a machine do they recommend having?
A kernel compile is not a problem on my athelon as that takes 4 minutes from make dep to make bzImage / make install, but on my old P133 it takes about an hour.
I wonder if they have the newbie in mind here. Does your grandma really want to be compiling her own kernel? I think not. Most people don't want to know that much about their computer, I guess that is why so many people use windows is cause it allows people to stay ignorant about their computer (until something goes wrong).
It does however sound like something worth trying. I am wondering if this would work on my old P133 and how long it would take to do a full install.
"I have to disagree with your assesment of resume length. I have been told by much wiser people than I, that every resume is looked at to the end."
You are free to disagree, but my sister works in an HR department plus this is what I read in IEEE as well and numerous other places. Expect 5 to 10 seconds for someone to 'scan' your resume with their eyes. If you are lucky or something sticks out then it will get a second glance. Many get dumped rather quickly though.
Also if you are emailing or faxing, your resume may not get looked at based solely on your cover letter. Be ware of 'typoes and misspelllings', especially on the cover letter but also on the resume.
Yes, if you have more than 10 years 'relevant' experience (yes leave out the bagging groceries thing and waiting tables) then 2 pages is acceptable. When an organization like Berkley get over 10 thousand resumes at a job fair do you really think that they look at EVERY one for more than a glance? I'd have to think not. They don't have the time. Your lucky if you get to chat with them for more than 30 seconds.
The resume is there to get you the interview. Basically to spark an interest in you, not to tell your entire life history.
Number 1 on the resume is skills and application of those skills. They want to scan and see perl if you are applying for a position that is requiring that. As well as C if they require that. Also they want to see years and what you did. Not perl code, but "I created perl scripts for oracle to sybase conversion" works if you did something like that. Details are left out to entice them to want to talk to you about the details. If they have all the details in your resume then they man or may not be inclined to talk to you.
Last time I was looking for a job I sent out many resumes and got LOTS of responses. I had numberous interviews and was somewhat picky of what I took. And this was at the beginning of the recession. Hey my resume served its purpose of getting me to the point of talking to the person on the phone and many an interview. I think my resume is set up rather well otherwise I would not have gotton the responses that I did. I don't have that much experience, but it was an eye catcher.
There are also many books out there that talk about resumes and they have 'proper' expected formats of resumes and mines fall right in there with the 'proper' format of a resume, so I must have done something right. I think that the best thing to do is go to some book store and look in hte resume section and figure out a format that works for what you are going for.
its called MS Word. Alternatly you could use WordPerfect or Startoffice or something else like that. That is what most people use.
When I was in college I obtained a program called resume writer, which allowed you to enter in your resume information and then choose which sections you wanted on your resume. It ran under window 3.1 so I am not sure if it is still around. It was designed for someone who was doing their first resume.
Personally I have done better since I started using HTML to do my resume. I can then use Word, Frontapge, Netscape, mozilla, or even a text editor to edit my resume. I found that the tools really did not help. It was better for me to have a simple format.
Start with Name && Address at top. Then maybe list an objective. Then skill proficencies like UNIX SUN, AIX, Programming C/C++ etc. Next jobs with bulleted one liners telling what you did in 10 words or less per task. Like ported app X to platform foo from platform bar. Lastly any thing else releveant or hobbies and clubs and maybe references. Try to keep it to one page. While people say 2 is okay, I have seen more people with 2 page resumes get passed over for jobs than 1 pagers. Only because a resume is only going to get about 5 seconds look over so it has to be concise. Don't use fancy fonts or anything that may not scan easy as some companies scan resumes into their database.
"Your condo may not allow it if you damage it but they can't tell you you can't put the satellite on a pole in a bucket of concrete on your balcony."
Gee that would be worse. If you put a bucket of concrete on the balconey around here you could damage the balcony over time by the added weight. Thus this would not work. Somone had a roch garden on their balcony and they damaged the balcony as the balconies do not have very good support. Now their balcony has a lean from the excessive weight of the garden. The garden is gone now, buyt the balcony still leans.
If you put a concrete bucket on teh balcony and it did the same as the rock garden, and it could over time depending on its weight, it would be something they could fine you for. Again, not the dish, but the way you installed it.
I know about the law and have been told of it before. They cannot stop you from doing this, but if you do put a dish and it does interfear with neighbors reception, damages the walls, or does any external damage, they can fine you. The outisde of the condo is not my property it is condo proerty or 'common areas'. In our rules there is a statement where they can 'assess' you fees and make you repair the damage.
The other issues is looks. If it looks ugly people can say you are lowering property values. At that point it comes down to who has the better laywer and what the judge rules and how many apeals you want to go through.
Just because a law is made it does not mean that it is enforced and it still has to be interpreted and tested a few times in court.
You are still missing the point. Your choices are cable or satelite. Not exactly the same thing. My point is that you only have ONE cable company in most areas. Aside from that the AT&T issues is the same as the AOL/TW issue. Cable, phone, internet, and cell all in one. Its done now with AT&T so why not TWC?
Why so many? Are they going to cpoy them then make it available to the public? Use it in various goverment offices and thus distrubute them around?
Looks like they are replacing desktops from the article. I guess this may be a test to see the compatibility and if it works then maybe they'll deploy them everywhere. I think in the long run it may be cheaper than a SUN or Windows solution.
I think the real issues is that this is a Korean software company and the goverment is supporting their own. Why pay money to the US when they can support, monitor, and control an OS in their own country. They have the source and can make it as secure as they choose and add in monitoring software into the system if they choose.
I think we will see more countries adopt Linux for the fact that it can help support their own econemy in their country by having a software company in thier country. Unlike Windows which is in the US. Kind of a way of keeping money in their own country an dkeeping their econemy going. That along with the fact that there are less srtingent licensing issues with RH/Linux.
"Yay, it'll be so convenient having one company control my television, internet access and phone service. I can hardly wait."
Like AT&T global? They control my cable TV, phone, cell phone, and my roommates ISP. (I use someone else for my ISP).
So what's the difference here? You get one bill instead of my current 4? This would be nice if my cable and home phone and cell were on one bill, I'd be able to write one check instead of 3.
I think with the phone you have a choice, but cable you don't. My condo has rules about getting satelite. It has to be approved and proven that it will not damage the property. No real big deal, just a hastle. If I were to throw in a dish and it was determined it did damage to the building or something then I could get in trouble. That's why they have the approval. And yes they can do that it is in the regulations which were approved by the condo owners.
First searches at the airports, then house searches with no warrent, and then where do your rights come in?
Congradulations, your jewish. Do you look Jewish? I've been told I do, but I'm spanish.
The problem that my friend encountered was that even though he was 2 hours early for his plane he almost missed it because of the searches. Lucky the plane was running late anyway. Then he had to get a connection and was searched again and almost missed his connection. You'd think that one search would be enough. Like he had time to build a bomb between tranfers when the first plane was late and he was already behind. They made him take off his shoes also. I guess the best thing is to wear slipons or something that is easy on / off.
I guess you missed the point. First the Nazis only took the jews to the camps. Then they stuck them in the ovens. While we may be far from that now, things like this is where it starts. First racially profiling is okay in airports. Then the first attach on a mall or other public place allows security guards to follow people around the mall because of a 'profile' they THINK they fit. Yes they do this now. Then clerks don't help these people cause of the way they look. Oh and they do this now in some places. In Kansas there was a major department store, which I wont mention its name, that was sued by some african american for not helping them and having security come up and watch them.
I guess though you are okay with having your rights stripped away for your safety. Until the theocracy that the Bush administration wants to create says being Jewish is against the law.
Both of these are good products. Reflection X allows you to run X windows on top of a windows client. Things like telnet and all your xwindows apps if you wish.
Exceed also does this. You need windows on the box, but I see no reason why you cannot have CITRIX pull up a windows desktop and then have that pull up an x session through exceed.
I guess if you are arab in this country or look arab your under suspicion now. Guess we didn't learn from WWII and how we treated the Japanese or asian looking people. This treatment of arabs should frighten all but the whitest of people as this IS racial profiling in the US and it is leading to racial descrimination.
Jews, african americans, arabs, hispanics, all look like arab / muslems. A friend of mine is Jewsih and he was profiled at the airport, and made to take off his shoes. He then had his luggage lots for several days. He was lucky cause he got his luggage back after a few days.
I just wonder how they are going to know who to tap? Or are they going to do random phone tapping. Or tap people just cause they can?
"However, the statement that C++ is slower than C is not.
"
You obviously never read the slashdot article about how C++ at runtime must instantiate all the objects and do some other funkiness that makes startup time slower than C. This has something to do with the way the compiler compiles the C++ code. There was talk about the kde and how they overcame some of the startup issues with kde 2.x so that kde startup would be faster. They have the kdeinit process running which makes starting up other programs faster. I'm not sure about all the details. They said that a compiler could be improved to make startup time better.
Oh and here is an article you may want to read -> http://www.gamedev.net/reference/design/features/w hatlang/page3.asp
It talks about some of the tradeoffs of using C++ vs C.
Also there are other reasons why C++ is not that good a programming language and here is a guy who was talking about creating D programming language -> http://www.digitalmars.com/d/ and some of his reasons for this.
Personally D is looking better and better. No VM like Java. Built in garbage collection which is better than C or C++.
The problem is that when people think of OOP they think of C++. Truth is that you can do OOP in C but it does not have all the features that you get out of C++. Also C++ is generally though of as slower than C. In many engineering applications they want the speed so they do C or ASM. In other cases they use ada. The goverment uses lots of ada still or at least that is what my brother tells me and he works for them as a programmer so he should know.
Think of it this way, a C++ class is basically a C structure on steroids. Functions in the class are like pointers to functions in a structure. Both can do signals and callbacks. The difference is that one was made to make doing OOP easier (C++).
Ada is another option for OOP programming as well as Java.
Do you think that mathcad is all C? I'd imagine that it contains C++ and possibly com objects and it is an engineering program. I'm sure there are others, in fact I remember when I used to read spectrum magazine from IEEE they had adds for many engineering programs and some of the newer ones were in C++.
I think it is your application probably does not call for it.
Its also great for fish tanks and raising aquarium plants. I'd imagine that it would be good for indoor plants as well.
I'd recommend multiple bulbs of different spectrums or a full spectrum bulb. Vita lite makes florescent bulbs and you can get red, blue and green colors I believe as well as white. They also have full spectrum bulbs. At least this is what I know they make for the aquariums and there is no reason that you cannot use these bulbs in a home or office. The drawback is that they are florescent, which means that they flicker at about 60hz or the cycle of the power coming out of your sockets.

Expect 5 to 10 seconds for someone to 'scan' your resume with their eyes. If you are lucky or something sticks out then it will get a second glance. Many get dumped rather quickly though.
Also if you are emailing or faxing, your resume may not get looked at based solely on your cover letter. Be ware of 'typoes and misspelllings', especially on the cover letter but also on the resume.
Yes, if you have more than 10 years 'relevant' experience (yes leave out the bagging groceries thing and waiting tables) then 2 pages is acceptable. When an organization like Berkley get over 10 thousand resumes at a job fair do you really think that they look at EVERY one for more than a glance? I'd have to think not. They don't have the time. Your lucky if you get to chat with them for more than 30 seconds.
The resume is there to get you the interview. Basically to spark an interest in you, not to tell your entire life history.
Number 1 on the resume is skills and application of those skills. They want to scan and see perl if you are applying for a position that is requiring that. As well as C if they require that. Also they want to see years and what you did. Not perl code, but "I created perl scripts for oracle to sybase conversion" works if you did something like that. Details are left out to entice them to want to talk to you about the details. If they have all the details in your resume then they man or may not be inclined to talk to you.
Last time I was looking for a job I sent out many resumes and got LOTS of responses. I had numberous interviews and was somewhat picky of what I took. And this was at the beginning of the recession. Hey my resume served its purpose of getting me to the point of talking to the person on the phone and many an interview. I think my resume is set up rather well otherwise I would not have gotton the responses that I did. I don't have that much experience, but it was an eye catcher.
There are also many books out there that talk about resumes and they have 'proper' expected formats of resumes and mines fall right in there with the 'proper' format of a resume, so I must have done something right. I think that the best thing to do is go to some book store and look in hte resume section and figure out a format that works for what you are going for.
When I was in college I obtained a program called resume writer, which allowed you to enter in your resume information and then choose which sections you wanted on your resume. It ran under window 3.1 so I am not sure if it is still around. It was designed for someone who was doing their first resume.
Personally I have done better since I started using HTML to do my resume. I can then use Word, Frontapge, Netscape, mozilla, or even a text editor to edit my resume. I found that the tools really did not help. It was better for me to have a simple format.
Start with Name && Address at top. Then maybe list an objective. Then skill proficencies like UNIX SUN, AIX, Programming C/C++ etc. Next jobs with bulleted one liners telling what you did in 10 words or less per task. Like ported app X to platform foo from platform bar. Lastly any thing else releveant or hobbies and clubs and maybe references. Try to keep it to one page. While people say 2 is okay, I have seen more people with 2 page resumes get passed over for jobs than 1 pagers. Only because a resume is only going to get about 5 seconds look over so it has to be concise. Don't use fancy fonts or anything that may not scan easy as some companies scan resumes into their database.
Gee that would be worse. If you put a bucket of concrete on the balconey around here you could damage the balcony over time by the added weight. Thus this would not work. Somone had a roch garden on their balcony and they damaged the balcony as the balconies do not have very good support. Now their balcony has a lean from the excessive weight of the garden. The garden is gone now, buyt the balcony still leans.
If you put a concrete bucket on teh balcony and it did the same as the rock garden, and it could over time depending on its weight, it would be something they could fine you for. Again, not the dish, but the way you installed it.
I know about the law and have been told of it before. They cannot stop you from doing this, but if you do put a dish and it does interfear with neighbors reception, damages the walls, or does any external damage, they can fine you. The outisde of the condo is not my property it is condo proerty or 'common areas'. In our rules there is a statement where they can 'assess' you fees and make you repair the damage.
The other issues is looks. If it looks ugly people can say you are lowering property values. At that point it comes down to who has the better laywer and what the judge rules and how many apeals you want to go through.
Just because a law is made it does not mean that it is enforced and it still has to be interpreted and tested a few times in court.
You are still missing the point. Your choices are cable or satelite. Not exactly the same thing. My point is that you only have ONE cable company in most areas. Aside from that the AT&T issues is the same as the AOL/TW issue. Cable, phone, internet, and cell all in one. Its done now with AT&T so why not TWC?
Looks like they are replacing desktops from the article. I guess this may be a test to see the compatibility and if it works then maybe they'll deploy them everywhere. I think in the long run it may be cheaper than a SUN or Windows solution.
I think the real issues is that this is a Korean software company and the goverment is supporting their own. Why pay money to the US when they can support, monitor, and control an OS in their own country. They have the source and can make it as secure as they choose and add in monitoring software into the system if they choose.
I think we will see more countries adopt Linux for the fact that it can help support their own econemy in their country by having a software company in thier country. Unlike Windows which is in the US. Kind of a way of keeping money in their own country an dkeeping their econemy going. That along with the fact that there are less srtingent licensing issues with RH/Linux.
Like AT&T global? They control my cable TV, phone, cell phone, and my roommates ISP. (I use someone else for my ISP).
So what's the difference here? You get one bill instead of my current 4? This would be nice if my cable and home phone and cell were on one bill, I'd be able to write one check instead of 3.
I think with the phone you have a choice, but cable you don't. My condo has rules about getting satelite. It has to be approved and proven that it will not damage the property. No real big deal, just a hastle. If I were to throw in a dish and it was determined it did damage to the building or something then I could get in trouble. That's why they have the approval. And yes they can do that it is in the regulations which were approved by the condo owners.
Congradulations, your jewish. Do you look Jewish? I've been told I do, but I'm spanish.
The problem that my friend encountered was that even though he was 2 hours early for his plane he almost missed it because of the searches. Lucky the plane was running late anyway. Then he had to get a connection and was searched again and almost missed his connection. You'd think that one search would be enough. Like he had time to build a bomb between tranfers when the first plane was late and he was already behind. They made him take off his shoes also. I guess the best thing is to wear slipons or something that is easy on / off.
I guess you missed the point. First the Nazis only took the jews to the camps. Then they stuck them in the ovens. While we may be far from that now, things like this is where it starts. First racially profiling is okay in airports. Then the first attach on a mall or other public place allows security guards to follow people around the mall because of a 'profile' they THINK they fit. Yes they do this now. Then clerks don't help these people cause of the way they look. Oh and they do this now in some places. In Kansas there was a major department store, which I wont mention its name, that was sued by some african american for not helping them and having security come up and watch them.
I guess though you are okay with having your rights stripped away for your safety. Until the theocracy that the Bush administration wants to create says being Jewish is against the law.
Exceed also does this. You need windows on the box, but I see no reason why you cannot have CITRIX pull up a windows desktop and then have that pull up an x session through exceed.
I guess if you are arab in this country or look arab your under suspicion now. Guess we didn't learn from WWII and how we treated the Japanese or asian looking people. This treatment of arabs should frighten all but the whitest of people as this IS racial profiling in the US and it is leading to racial descrimination.
Jews, african americans, arabs, hispanics, all look like arab / muslems. A friend of mine is Jewsih and he was profiled at the airport, and made to take off his shoes. He then had his luggage lots for several days. He was lucky cause he got his luggage back after a few days.
I just wonder how they are going to know who to tap? Or are they going to do random phone tapping. Or tap people just cause they can?
Molder was right, "Trust no one!".....
You obviously never read the slashdot article about how C++ at runtime must instantiate all the objects and do some other funkiness that makes startup time slower than C. This has something to do with the way the compiler compiles the C++ code. There was talk about the kde and how they overcame some of the startup issues with kde 2.x so that kde startup would be faster. They have the kdeinit process running which makes starting up other programs faster. I'm not sure about all the details. They said that a compiler could be improved to make startup time better.
Oh and here is an article you may want to read -> http://www.gamedev.net/reference/design/features/w hatlang/page3.asp
It talks about some of the tradeoffs of using C++ vs C.
Also there are other reasons why C++ is not that good a programming language and here is a guy who was talking about creating D programming language -> http://www.digitalmars.com/d/ and some of his reasons for this.
Personally D is looking better and better. No VM like Java. Built in garbage collection which is better than C or C++.
Think of it this way, a C++ class is basically a C structure on steroids. Functions in the class are like pointers to functions in a structure. Both can do signals and callbacks. The difference is that one was made to make doing OOP easier (C++).
Ada is another option for OOP programming as well as Java.
Do you think that mathcad is all C? I'd imagine that it contains C++ and possibly com objects and it is an engineering program. I'm sure there are others, in fact I remember when I used to read spectrum magazine from IEEE they had adds for many engineering programs and some of the newer ones were in C++.
I think it is your application probably does not call for it.
I'd recommend multiple bulbs of different spectrums or a full spectrum bulb. Vita lite makes florescent bulbs and you can get red, blue and green colors I believe as well as white. They also have full spectrum bulbs. At least this is what I know they make for the aquariums and there is no reason that you cannot use these bulbs in a home or office. The drawback is that they are florescent, which means that they flicker at about 60hz or the cycle of the power coming out of your sockets.
