It's interesting that different people are seeing different behaviors on VS2010. I get no intellisense for either managed or unmanaged C++, you're getting intellisense only for managed code, and the parent poster is getting intellisense for ANSI C++. Below, there's a comment saying "You have to install the right mix of MSDN when you install 2010".
Weirdly, this is kind of good news for me, since I'm getting neither, and either of them would be useful -- it appears that it depends on the project setup.
It's Microsoft Fashion time again. Did you use program in C++? That made sense, since it was cross-platforms and has an independent standards committee. Well, if you want to play in Microsoft land, you have to dance by Microsoft's tune: back in 2002 it was.Net. It was the holy grail -- they stuffed that thing everywhere. People started using it, and liked it too -- there are many.Net communities. In Visual Studio 2010, there's no intellisense for C++ anymore. Did you have large projects in C++? Well granpa, you should have migrated them to C# by now. We're not going to help you with your geriatric C++ programs.
But now Microsoft isn't feeling "hip" with the young kids anymore. All of these web applications make Microsoft feel two-thousand-and-late. Oh, what is Microsoft to do... Oh! Of course! We have money! and a huge developer base! The kids like JavaScript? We'll give 'em so much JavaScript they'll pass out!
We'll cram it everywhere, not just the browser. Native Windows software? JavaScript. Embedded scripting? JavaScript. Does JavaScript have any standard way to interface with the file system? Does it have any way to do networking, or databases? No? Well, that's not a big deal, we'll just make up our own!
Man, if you program software for Windows, you'd better start eating and breathing JavaScript. They've kicked C++ out, and.Net is next. It's the new Microsoft tune -- so start dancing!
I'm a firm atheist, but I don't think that the analogy to mental illness is entirely valid. Religion is more about extreme conditioning. If you have it hammered into you from an early age, in a severe manner, the mind will cling to it just as it does to physiological urges. Convincing people that theistic religion is a "delusion" only works in an environment where some freedoms are allowed -- the freedom to think for yourself, and the freedom to question anything you want to. In a fundamentalist environment, this will get you (at best) in prison.
Many people, after spending enough time in such an extreme environment, are beyond help. They're neurologically "fused" with their beliefs.
"poor copy"?... They may have stayed with FF3.5 for too long, but FF5 is excellent. I run both on several computers, because they really do have different strengths and weaknesses (chrome is lighter on a netbook, for example), and currently firefox is the best option on a computer bought in the past ~3 years. It handles a huge amount of tabs (better than chrome), has better plugins, and NoScript is better than the chrome alternatives.
And what does National Geographic have to do with "Toughest Prisons"? They need to fill slots and they need to fill them with stuff at least some people will watch. It doesn't delegitimize other shows on the channel/s, and certainly not the organizations as a whole.
A blog post about mental illness and startups. In the case of some mental illnesses/conditions, behaviorism can play a bigger part than the chemistry. It's an absurdly difficult subject to research, and progress is slow, but mental illness is up there with obesity on the watch-list of developed-world epidemics.
I'm thinking that the long-term strategy of the porn industry is to make you pay if you want to not see porn. Start Googling something random and adjust the search terms until the first time porn pops up. It usually takes less than a minute, *especially* on image search. Who better than the porn industry to identify what *is* porn, in order to filter it out.
This could actually make a dangerous precedent. If you give out free (as-in-beer) software, you're accused of dumping? So Flash, Acrobat Reader, anti-virus software, Quicktime, Paint.Net, and the Opera browser are all guilty? I really hope that if someone actually makes such a case, it'd be shot down instantly.
While I agree that it doesn't make the phones cheaper, and that it's not in the hardware maker's best interest to allow upgrades (for the reasons you mentioned, as well as the added support required by users who have problems with the upgrade), Android itself is still free. You can use it on multiple platforms (architectures), and no one's forcing you to "hook it up" to Google. You can download the source code, you can use it without paying anyone, and you don't have to sign up for anything in order to do so. That means it's free.
You can make the argument that it ends up costing the end user who buys a smartphone, but that's a discussion about the smartphone market. Android is software, and it's free.
I'd have to look it up to be certain (and who has time for that?), but I think the main complaint is that they intentionally designed the browser to be inseparable from the OS's GUI. So not only was it bundled with Windows, it was also impossible to remove. But in those days I'm sure they didn't think twice about strong-arming manufacturers to keep other browsers out as well.
Actually, I'm willing to make the opposite complaint about Nintendo games. Like PaRappa the Rapper. How much LSD were the people who designed that on? It's like they omitted the saturation dimension from the the hue/saturation/lightness space.
Maybe I should re-word my complaint that FPSs tend to take place where the brown-grey-beige color scheme is prevalent. I realize that Portal isn't technically an FPS, but in Portal 2 you have (at least) two separate aesthetics. For an exceptional example of creative environment design, check out the trailers/videos for BioShock Infinite.
The brown-grey palette just gets boring after a while. You'd think that it would *especially* get boring for the developers, who sometimes have to spend years in that environment. This is a game in which you can strap a bomb on an RC car, throw a boomerang-like weapon, or upgrade your weapons in countless ways. It's not like they lack creativity. And yet so far the only environments within the game (that I've seen, anyway) are the same dust-dirt-rust that's typical of the genre.
Even if it's post-apocalyptic, you could find excuses that some structures survived. Possibly underground. I'm not looking for a rainforest, but there's no reason for all the indoor environments to look the same.
From the in-game videos released so far, the game looks fantastic. But it still has the same color scheme that id (and many other companies) have decided must haunt FPSs since the early 90's: grey, brown, beige, and some chrome. I get that it's part of the environment, but at least some departure would have been nice.
EOS failures can do funny things. Single IOs can fail while the rest of the chip works fine.
That's possible, which is why you should install independent, redundant systems. Some problems are very difficult to catch, even with redundant systems, which is all the more reason to have multiple redundancy.
This sounds like it's more a problem with their safety protocols, and less a problem with the particular circuit that failed.
That's always possible, but I still think that diagnostic/sensor circuits should have been able to catch this without human intervention (IMHO).
I actually don't think that racism has much to do with it. People online can be horrible and disgusting in response to anything -- the fact that it happened in China just means that the reactions will include racist overtones because it makes these reactions more offensive. There are plenty of trolls (and sometimes just bored kids that don't know any better) that will just be offensive because it's "fun". They like seeing the reactions to their reactions, and they know how to push people's buttons. I'm willing to bet that most of these reactions are just a type of flamebait, rather than actual racism.
(not to imply that there's a shortage of racism online...)
Because it hadn't been struck by lightning until now.
Life-critical systems should have a dead-man switch, and/or a watchdog timer. The moment it was struck by lightning, the fact that part of the system didn't "report back" should have prevented the train from moving. If the lightning strike happened while the train was moving, then it should have triggered a mechanism that slows down the train to a halt.This is similar to how, if an elevator's power is cut, it expands "claws" into safety rails.
In the 17th century. If he were born in ancient Greece, he'd think that he was chosen to divine the will of Zeus. But what if he were born in the 20th century?
Mendel didn't have the information we have now. Newton was a devout christian, but if he were born in the 20th century, his view of the world would likely have been different. We're not talking about believing in Ra in ancient egypt -- we're talking about not "believing" in logic in the 21st century.
So this is supposed to cast doubt on his credentials as a climate scientist... how, exactly?
It casts doubt on his ability to reason. We're not talking about some abstract religious notions, he's opposing what is globally accepted in the scientific community, and is backed up by countless, independent research initiatives. These days, it's on par with being geocentric.
I agree that the right thing to do is "attack" the research, and not the author, but in some cases it's relevant to be aware of where the data is coming from.
Thanks for making my point. There's an entire discussion going up there, almost completely unmoderated, and you've just sunk 2 mod points getting this thread down. Are you going to spend 3 more mod points knocking down this post and my previous post? What if a really hideous post pops up and you run out of points?
How about market demand? Numerous large corporations need the end-user to have broadband so that they (the corporations) can make more money off them. Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon -- they all really want you to have hefty pipes. And Walmart just added streaming rentals. The fickle politicians can be as fickle as they want -- the economy demands broadband, it's inevitable.

Ha! amateur. Work on your porn-fu before you post something this embarrassing.

Like I said above -- see BioShock Infinite.
The Speed Racer movie is best watched under the influence (of all sorts of things...).
