Linux is written in C mostly and is quite cross platform.
If everybody is refoering to the same flame war I remember Linus was all like, (parafrased) "Bitch, I don't need cross platform, I POSIX and glibc and you do the same thing with your kernel and they each can be monoplatform"
I can honestly say for a fact that in the week I worked with him every single moment was dedicated to the case.
In the week and a half I worked with him he probably put in over 180 hours of work.
I worked on a 4.5 week trial and personally put in over 380 hours of work, there were associate attornies that were their every time I showed up and everytime I left, I cannot imagine how much work they did.
I was working on a case with around 1800 exhibits, when glancing over trial testimony the lawyers could from memmory come up with letters and faxes that disputed what was being said. That is a profound amount of time they spent reading to get all that. There was another 30 cases of paper that they would sometimes be like, we better get that faxe from case 20 and enter it as an exhibit.
There are a lot of cheats in the field, but I honestly believe that most good lawyers work extreme amounts of time, and are in situations at least as bad as the coders at EA (but the lawyers do make more).
If you think IT people have long hours you should work with a succesful lawyer.
I worked with a lawyer who billed 3996 hours one year (he just misseed the award for 4000 so he remembered). That is 75 hours a week of time that he billed for, and as anyone who bills there time knows, a billed hour is more than an hour of work. Not a great job to have. Also, though a lot of lawyers are great people, a lot are completeassholes, and all of them have an ego, which makes the assholes harder to deal with.
My girlfriends laptop (Powerbook) gets real slow sometimes, and quiting all running applications takes a while, and doesn'y fixe it, rebooting it does. I have noticed it at work too.
This is after a fe days of running.
Also, FWIW I have more random app crashes on my OSX machines (at work, G5 Towers) than on the Win2K machines that are hardware from the late 90's (though the machine itslef rarely locks up in OSX). OS9 is the worse, locking up on a whim.
If you mean adult as in poirnagraphic that is illegal in the US,
If you mean adult as in R you are correc, though a really hard R for sexual content may arguably cross that line, but I really doubt it because "Auto Focus" did not seem pornographic and did not receive an R in the united states (it did after bluring of the naughty bits though).
I believe our definition of pornography is along the lines of "I'll know it when I see it"
How is allowing the states to make the choices keeping government out of our livs?
How is giving the states more power to abuse us then the federal government currently has/does "abolish the power of government to make decisions for us"?
But google has said in their defense of questions about the ssues the article brings up that they only make publicaly available information easer to find. This was a justification for why they are doing a good thing. Certainly collecting a bunch of facts and putting them in one place streamlines the process, Google should be applouding them.
What happened to PJ was different because he never justied the work of private investigators (photos of soemoens house come from them) by saying they just make publically available information easier to find.
Well, MS doesn;t want people to try out the system at a friends and think the controlers are shit. The market will then choose some other system because the controllers arn't the teh suk. If I was in control of accessories for something I made I would never let the shit that is 3rd party controllers be released.
I have nothing against an iPod cup holder, but if it was an iPod battery that only had a 30second lifespan and I barrowed your iPod and couldn't hear a whole song I would assume iPods suck and not buy one, so a 3rd party accessory can damage the reputation of the main company.
They are blaming Rockstor for high insurance premiums????? Thats the funniest thing ever.
PS, does sending out millions of things saying your games are violent contain sexual stuff ect. count as awarenss campaign? because they right it on every box.
In what example is right click more important in XP than in OSX?
I can think on one minor case:
working off the desktop, since you don't have the menus there. But since on a PC the intended use of the desktop appears to be links to all your programs I see little use for the right click.
2 quick examples of context menus as simplest solution on a MAC.
ex 1) changer desktop background, rightclick desktop, click change background image, or explain what system tools looks like, telling them to click it, then wait for 5 minutes as they look for desktop and screensaver.
ex 2) Zipping a folder.
rightclick folder, create archive.
click on folder go to file go to create archive. oh you double clicked it, start over again etc.
If you have an application like stuffit that installs into the context menu it is much easier to explain than using the application.
The only problem is the MAC users that are new and have Apple mice, they can never figure out where control is.

Also, Linus did schange his mind already.

That is what an appeal is.
Because you like designers to use not activex applications.
Perhaps, like this post (and yours) the mods felt it was Karma Bonus abuse.

On the Macs we print, use Quark, and CS
On the PCs we use those and Office.

And what does doing everything for money do to you?
That is the stupidest thing I ever heard.
It would be easy.
Step one:think of an illiterationg name involvng a an animal (eg Lisa Lemer).
Step 2: make easy childrens adventure game with goof voices and jokes and all
Step 3: Package in a box or Jewel case
Step 4: sell for under $10.00 on the Jewel racks at stores and for $30.00 in edutainment.
There are tons of non-cutting edge games being sold and making money, and in households where leaving the content on CD is copy rotection enough.

The "perfect" PacMan game was done relativly recently. It took about 24 hours strait.
I can only speak of my expieriance with the DC and GC.
the DC one I purchased sucked and failed to center properly after about 3 weeks.
The GC one I baught took 2 months and a button broke and it failed to center.
I am a casual gamer and the 1st party controlers I buy last years.

nononononono!!
the trick was to set your clock forward many years when you installed.
You have 3012 days left of your 30 day free trial, would you like to register? was the greeting from my terminal program before I connected to a BBS.
well I would say it means most of us have some self control.
at least a little bit more than a rat.
It still yields Yahoo with approximatly quadruple the pages of google.
Google has 3.2 bn for 'a'
Leisure Suit Larry apperently has mature humor.
That is news to me.

MS doesn't seem to care with the XBOX360.

never been a problem for me, but I guess that makes sense.
The only person I knew that baught one actually got it to masturbate in bed (well "browse the net) but we all know what that means.
I personally couldn't use one because I would lose it.
Good thing you baught a wireles mouse to lessen the amount of wires you have. Too bad you have a wired cradle though.
