  1. Re:That's the hard way of doing it.... on Sendo vs. Microsoft: The Truth Comes Out · · Score: 1

    AS much as I think it would be a shame for MONO to go down the drain. I do believe MONO will be modular enough to be fairly easy to rip out of Gnome if the need should arise. If not there are quite a few other window managers and Desktop ENvironment one can use rather than Gnome on Linux - oh, the power of multiple choice. Hey, it might prtobably even be enough to rip out the offending parts of MONO, replace it with something homegrown, and we'd still have a pretty good app framework!

    Well, the probe will slowle loose it's temperature through thermal radiation, until it's around 5K, might take a little while but it'll still get there.

    DOS had no concept of kernel space/user space. SOunds like you're confused over real mode/protected mode which is something else.

    users have full root (er, Administrator) access to their machines, and if necessary could use debuggers and/or virtual machines to figure out how Word is decrypting documents
    ouch, you never seen proper encryption? If MS would do it properly, one wouldn't just be able to 'debug' the doc in order to find out what it means. A brute force attack would take *years*.

    God some people are arrogant today.
    You do not have to use the IDE if you don't want to. Makefiles are perfectly possible with VS.
    The guy Tom haven't even been able to come up with one single reason why XP would be worse to develop than win2K, all he (and you) has been able to do is trying badmouth Evil Adrian.

    You made it onto my shitlist with your attitude

  9. Re:bad idea microsoft on MS Proposes Disclosing Windows Source To India · · Score: 1

    I though we're talking about XP from a developer's point of view. Never done XP. but I assume it got the same API as win2K, which is fairly OK, not perfect, but OK. Despite what people say, MS is very good in keeping their old API in there, hence trying to avoid breaking old code. Yeah, it bloats the whole thing out but I can live with that. YOu also got a fairly OK STL implementation in there, no need to use MFC.

    For the very same reason MS strongly discourage their employees to look at the source of OpenSource projects. They can themselves get lashed very badly as well.

  13. Re:final scratch on Inside One Of the Last Vinyl Record Manufacturers · · Score: 1

    think final scratch looks like the perfect marriage of digital and analog tech. You use the prefered method of input (vinyl) and can store all your tunes on your laptop. Never tried it myself, but our soundsystem are thinking of investing in one. What does worry me would be the sound quality, especially if you mix from a normal record to a final scratch one, but I suppose if you store your tunes as uncompressed .wav files (I suppose fs can read them as well as mp3's) the result might be OK.

    do what I do then; always do a:
    memset(szbuf, 0, sizeof(szbuf));

    then when you use strncpy make sure you always use the length sizeof(szbuf) - 1
    guarantees that there always will be a trailing null char in the end

    very true, also, when a program get to a sufficient size. You can run into the uncomfotable position of not *daring* to delete some of your memory allocation since you cannot be sure it's not used elsewhere. shitty design - yes, but I bet you there are many commercial apps out there with this problem.

    Not that I'm a doctor but IIRC our brain is very, very slow compared to any CPU of today, it removes that weakness by working in parallell, very much so as well.

  20. Re:What desktop users want to know.. on AMD's 64-bit Plot · · Score: 1

    I agree with you to a point, but I must say I do find there's is a noticable difference between a 866 and s 2.4G machine. Maybe not for everyday tasks, but if you got a compilation running in the background you be happy for that extra horsepower.
    But yes, buying the latest and greatest of CPUs might not be the cleverest thing to do from a price/performance perspective.
