Yes, disasters create a lot of jobs, but you are overlooking the negative causes of all the damage cost in lost property and materials. At the end of the day, you'll have spent a lot of money to get back to where you were before the storm; if not for the storm, you'd have what you starting with and then some. That's what the parable of the broken window is about.
Did he amend your grade then? I mean, if you don't understand how your own program worked, you don't deserve a passing grade, even if it did work correctly.
It could be done. The way that normal subtitles work is just as a image of the subtitle text that's overlaid on the video. There's no reason that you couldn't include silhouettes or other graphics on the subtitle overlays, although I think they may be limited to monochrome or (at best) only a few colors.
ntfs-3g is brand new and it not the same thing as ntfsmount, which is what the current documentation covers. Please read the ntfs-3g announcement, which promises practically unlimited file creation and deletion.
This new driver is "ntfs-3g". "ntfsmount" is the previous NTFS driver that ntfs-3g is based on. Since ntfs-3g is brand new, most of the documentation on the Linux-NTFS site is about the older driver. ntfs-3g promises practically unlimited file creation and deletion.
One, as another posted said, is for integration. If I just changed my files in the IDE, why should I have to go to another window to commit it? It's got integrated tools for exploring revision history, doing diffs, showing annotations, etc. It's handy.
Two, for refactorings. Modern IDEs have support for many common refactorings tasks, allowing you to (for example) pull out new sub-methods and be confident in the knowledge you haven't effected the rest of the program. Ideally, a version-control aware IDE can pass some of this information onto the repository, so when you rename a class, for example, you don't break the history chain.
Eclipse has robust support for version control schemes, and Subclipse (that's the Eclipse SVN plugin) is intelligent enough to correctly handle some refactorings, but not all. Still, they're working on it.
Well, this is just for legacy apps. It doesn't get you much, but it's probably preferably to having to designate one mouse the "master" and ignoring the other. There are potentionally some uses; in the Gimp example, one cursor is left over the tool palette and the other over the image. The user alternates between using the left mouse to change tools and the right mouse to apply them to the image, without having to constantly move the mouse back and forth. They also create some interesting effects with some of the paint tools by being able to instantly move the "effective" mouse position back and forth.
But, yeah, for the really interesting and innovate possibilities, you're going to have to program your app to a newer library or API to take advantage of the extra pointers.
From the demos, it looks like they just merge events from both mice into a single queue. If you only use one mouse, it acts as a normal single mouse. Once you move the other cursor, it's as though you instantly moved from the previous cursor's position to the other cursor's position. Since mouse events are only fired on movement or button presses, it doesn't matter than the other cursor is still "over" the element until you do something with it.
Well, yes, I know Yahoo stands for something, but the term itself doesn't hold any particular meaning relating to its area of business. I suppose you could claim you're saying "Yahoo!" because you found what you were looking for, but that's a bit of a stretch.
Okay, Yahoo! doesn't really mean anything, but Google is a search engine that lets you search millions and millions of pages, so naming after a big number isn't bad. And Microsoft is a company that sells software for microcomputers. Sure, we don't really call them microcomputers, but we did when MS started up.
On the Futurama DVD commentary, Groening reveals that Zapp's character and mannerisms were established in Billy West's original audition for the character, and any similarity to Phil Hartman or his other well known cartoon characters (Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure), is simply coincidence.
Of course their name refers to copyright infringement! Of course they identifying with criminals! The whole point of the party "infringment" shouldn't be a crime. The whole point is disagree with the current laws regarding copyright and that a large portion of the general population be on the wrong side of legality because of it. The head of the Swedish Pirate Party, had a good response in a recent Wikinews interview:
Oh, [piracy of software, movies, music, etc.] is a crime. That's the heart of the problem! The very problem is that something that 20% of the voters are doing is illegal by punishment of jail time. That's what we want to change. Where the established parties are saying that the voters are broken, we are saying it's the law that is broken.
While I really hate scalpers, and I generally appreciate efforts to reduce their impact, I don't like systems like this that split up the ticket pool.
Even though the scalpers are usually the big winners, I like the idea that if I care enough and get in line early, or get to the site right when the tickets go on sale, I have a shot at getting the best seats in the house for face price. I think that's a fair expectation - that if you buy your tickets at the earliest point, you stand to get the best possible tickets available to you.
(While I admit I've never managed to get front row this way, I have gotten a good number of 2nd rows and usually can get something in the first 10)
When you start splitting it up this way, it gets very confusing and unclear. Should I buy in the general sale? Wait to the auction? Or maybe the presales are better? People feel very betrayed when they make an effort to be the first in line and then find out that people who came later got a better deal.
Anyhow, for the fans, it misses the point. The reason to crack down on the scalpers isn't because they take potentional profit from the artist, it's because they make it more expensive to see the show. Having Ticketmaster become the scalper doesn't help.
Oh, one interesting side effect of this which work out nicely for me. I was trying to get general admission tickets to a show, but they sold out pretty quick and I thought I missed my chance.
Then they put a large batch up for auction. I think this was one of the first ones and they seriously miscalculated, because they had literally hundreds of tickets up for auction and the high bids barely budged over the minimum.
So I suspected they didn't sell nearly as many in the auction as they thought. I bided my time and kept checking back, and sure enough, sometime a couple of weeks after the auctions had ended, a new batch of GA tickets became available to buy at the normal price.
That'll still help. Not having to download the entire source tarball to fix one package lowers the cost of entry for people interested in making changes.

So they're not the first, so what? The more, the merrier. They won't be any less funny for not being the only ones doing it.

This is hardly cutting edge;
Case Western Reserver University started a program like this 5 years ago using Lego Mindstorms kits, and I'm sure they weren't the first. This is seperate from the higher-level Autonomous Robotics (aka Lego Lab) course that's been going on since 1995 and is based largely on MIT's 6.270 Autonomous Robot course that created the Handy Board.
At least you have a common last name.
Er, I'm confused. Could you explain that with an analogy involving tubes?

A little context on why I might be interested in these programs would be nice.
Punctuation is your friend, I had to read that last sentence 4-5 times before I could parse it correctly.

That little dash makes big difference in readability...

Seriously. They did this for the 2005 fall NIN tour. That's the first one I'm aware of, so that's at least 6 months that they've been doing it.
