If by dedicated you mean only the systems connected to it and not your neighbour than yes... However all ethernet standards 10baseT, 10base2, and also 100baseT are shared.... thats why they have things like collisions. You can give it the appearance of a dedicated network by using routers instead of dumb hubs.
Thats what you get with unregulated pieces of spectrum, everyone can put its crap on it.... You could use a spectrum analyzer to monitor 2.4GHz band to see if anyone in your neighbourhood is using it.
You could also use 2, 7 and 12 or 3, 8 and 13 as the spacing would be the same.... If you really push it you can use smaller spacings such as three or four channels instead of six.
No everyone is using a word processor.... Having to use the exact same program as others to do a job is typical thinking of an adult. Kids see a word processor, it has a field to type text, it has some toolbar icons to change the font size and apearance and it has a 'file' menu with 'save', 'open' and 'print' options. Can you tell me exactly which wordprocessing progam I just described?

Material wealth is very important to the social status of children and is second only to how good looking their family is.
One of the key things is wanting to do a job instead of wanting to use a certain tool...
I have seen kids using sparc xterminals with netscape 4.75 (It was a few years back) on a linux system with twm as window manager for days without a problem, it wasn't until the first parents got to use them that there were complaints about it not being windows....
Irelevant changes can also sometimes become wildly successfull after a while... Take a small irrelevant mutation that later proved to give people the ability to survive the black plague. People had been walking around with this gene for ages without needing it until the dissease came.
You can do object oriented and event oriented programming in c fine. Besides C is much more portable and there is a C++ interface for GTK to.
So the only difference between QT and GTK from a language perspective is that with GTK you get a choice, QT you only get C++. (Not counting even higher languages such as C# since both have wrappers for that and are sort of equal)
The internet has been international since 1973. During the seventies and eighties a whole bunch of non military networks was interconnected that were not sponsored by the US.
The internet we came to know has very little to do with the original ARPA project besides its start and name.
Maybe because I responded to the argument that the guy with the biggest military budget got to do whatever he wanted and you were just bashing a country?
It is important as it might enable more efficient ways to bring stuff into orbit. At the moment the only viable way to get stuff in orbit is by strapping a shitload of explosives under it. Remember, it is horizontal speed that results in the air pushing a winged body upward towards that vaccum so it is not totally unrelated to space flight.
Early versions did have a tendency to default applications to use A4 papersizes, though.
Thats probably because they are european based... A4 is the standard format here, so we have the same problem with applications defaulting to 'Letter' format.
Yes its possible.. Just have the satelites lie about were they are... Its not easy though and you would impact everyone using gps in a large part of the world.

Hadn't thought about that...
We have 1 to 13 here in the Netherlands.
(Besides its not that hard to use all fourteen)

PPC64 is not just apple, IBM has a lot of PPC64 stuff. The real Power processors are also from IBM and used in their big stuff.
PPC already is huge in the server market, and it will get bigger in the lower segments of that market.

Just where do you think the internet came from?
It came by interconnecting a lot of networks worldwide.
Where did Google come from?
From some smart guys that had nothing to do with the US government
Where did 122,000 online pictures of Britney Spears come from?
Please, take them back!!!!!!!

A solid mass entering the atmosphere would explode due to the pressure differences inside.
