One thing that I like about NAT, for my home network is that I don't need buy an address range for my own use. By having address ranges reserved for use within a NAT, by specification, I know that they are mine to manage and assign, without having to refer to an external authority.
Of course I don't know enough about IPv6 to say that it doesn't provide an equivalent solution. What I am saying is that I have not seen anything about an alternative yet. If you know anything about an IPv6 equivalent to an internal address range, then I would love to hear about it.
Hmm, I don't think a simple "whoops" would suffice here;)
Maybe it doesn't, but I am surprised that it was that easy to do. You would have thought that the software would have a double check procedure or that anything above a certain amount would require your superior or a collegue to confirm it. Another simple approach would be to have the "are you sure" request display the amount in both figures and words. For example:
Are you sure you want to buy 251 000 000 USD (two hundred and fifty one million US dollars) worth of 'no cash co' stock?
At the moment these guys aren't trying to fix anything. What they are trying to do is see if something alternative could work better. See this like a prototype of a car: in order to be able to test new technologies properly you need to build it as if there were no restrictions. While this new technology might not replace anything, aspects of it might be incorporated if it proves there is a better way of getting things done.
In order for the high speed train to be cost effective it must be set up first along routes where there is the most traffic. If it can prove itself there, then it should show that there is potential elsewhere. IMO, the first route should not be trying to span large distances, such as coast to coast, rather it should link up major cities either on the east coast or the west coast. For example: Seattle - San Francisco - LA - San Diego.
According to Apple's Universal Binary whitepaper (http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/C onceptual/universal_binary/universal_binary.pdf), the Intel Macs will NOT be using Open Firmware...
I find this odd. Was OpenFirmware not a better solution than the BIOS? It will be interesting how Apple will make a great Mac, without too much PC centric baggage.
I must admit I can't read the link from where I am, but will they be using BIOS or some other technology?
Well if what you say is right, the general public will be labelled terrorists by the record industry. After all we are meant to be stealing their stuff, so maybe we are just trying to terrorize them.
Maybe we could even slap the label onto the US government, since they seem to be doing such a good job of scaring their population.
BTW did you notice that the Lucas got the Sith Lord in third episode of Star Wars saying something similar to Bush's "you are either for us or against us". I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
Actually, you can't compile WebKit. WebKit is a Objective-C interface to WebCore and JavaScriptCore, which are the open-source pieces. WebKit, unfortunately, is not open-sourced
Fair point, but if you kept the API the same, then you could write an open source equivalent. Of course this could be said for a lot of stuff. The original GNU utils is an example of standard stuff being rewriten with open source equivalents.
Although I can't find a reference to the source, I believe Apple already explained the reason there are documented and undocumented APIs ( these are also known as public and private APIs) The reasoning is that any private APIs are not yet set in stone, so if you do use them you should not be surprised that your application breaks with the next point release. These APIs are undocumented, but not hidden. If you wish to create programs that are stable between releases, then you should only use public APIs. The choice is yours.
Remember there is a difference between hidden APIs and undocumented APIs. Are all the APIs in Linux documented?
The United States Mint has a list of current legal tender. There may be some photos of them somewhere on the site, but I'll let someone else post the URL.
There is also another link with information on the two dollar bill.
The differences are substantial. For example, some J2ME VM's don't garbage collect. Ever. That's because in some cases, it's not required.
Quite honestly I reckon every Java programmer should have to learn to deal with the J2ME environment at some point. A lot of the software architects too. I say this because I have seen a lot of software solutions, written in Java, that create objects at a rate of knots and then people wonder why the system is so damn slow and memory hungry.
Java might have its issues, but like anything good programming and archicture will always allow you to get the most out of the resources out of hand.
From looking at this page, its says the following:
A variety of advanced approaches to solar cells are under investigation. Dye-sensitized solar cells use a dye-impregnated layer of titanium dioxide to generate a voltage, rather than the semiconducting materials used in most solar cells. Because titanium dioxide is relatively inexpensive, they offer the potential to significantly cut the cost of solar cells. Other advanced approaches include polymer (or plastic) solar cells (which may include large carbon molecules called fullerenes) and photoelectrochemical cells, which produce hydrogen directly from water in the presence of sunlight.
Since you can use a screen saver as a desktop background, all you would need to do is write a screen saver that displays whatever the video camera sees. Probably need to use the Quicktime Framework to connect to a DV device?
It is probably laziness, but if the restaurant owner does not want to spend time updating the web site, then (s)he should not present information that is likely to go out of date.
HSQLDB, which is a full SQL DB, is certainly capable of using foreign keys, as can be seen in the feature list. If this feature is not in Open Office 2.0, maybe we might see this being used in a later version. On the other hand for the average person a flat database is usually a good start, since anything beyond basic roledex style records is probably handed off to the 'IT guys'.
How many people here would pay a one time fee of $25 to give their phone the ability to get free ring tones, watch full length movies and episodes of your favourite shows, mp3s, freely move pictures from a pc.
Clearly you have never been to Asia. Bells and whistles seem to be clear selling points here. This is my impression from Bangkok, at least, and I also hear the same is true in Japan.
Unforch, there is no "Dark side of the moon" in terms of a permanent dark side.
I hadn't realised this, though this shouldn't prevent us from building an observatory on the moon, even if it is useful half of the time. The scientific and engineering advances would both be important here.
Imagining that we manage to set up a constant stream of human transport between Earth and the moon, maybe then we can practice off-world construction by building a telescope on the dark side of the moon?
Maybe what we need is to put together a standardised mail system test kit. This kit would test for certain common abuses of mail systems and would be designed so that mail server administrators can test their own system. If the system passes the tests then it can be 'certified' as having passed the test. The certification could be "self-certified", "third-party certified" or "official certifier certified" and if it is the latter two have the name of who certified them. By having such a process in place ISPs can then require people using their own mail servers to pass this test before being accepted on their network and also reassure people that they themselves have passed this test.
Well that's the idea anyhow, its probably still open to abuse, but hopefully it could be a start to something?
Apple did something that the PC world has yet to do: dump the old
connectors. You could argue that some are still needed, but when you
consider that there are modern equivalents why do you need to. For a
new computer all you need is ethernet, USB2 and a VGA connector. Most
things that mom and pop want to use hang off of USB, for example
keyboard, mouse, printer, scanner and digital camera. VGA or DVI sorts
out your display requirements, and you can buy a DVI->SVGA adaptor if
you wish to use a TV.
When was the last time you saw you parents gutting your video recorder
to upgrade it? The idea of plugging in a new accessory with a cable is
much more reassuring to most non-techies.
The article makes a fair enough point, but now I have another one: how
legal is a EULA that changes the terms of the EULA that you agreed to
when you bought the product? For example how do you know that when you
'agree' each time you log into you MMORPG that the terms have not
changed?
My problem with EULAs is not so much their presence, but the
complexity of the language in there is usually enough to scare most
people off. I really feel that they need to be accompanied by a FAQ or
short absrtract explaining the 'spirit' of the EULA.
One thing that would be worth producing is a cross-platform reader. This way you could view the documents without necesserily having the software that produced it. It may just be the insentive needed for people to include the format in their software.
