this is all high-level information from the driver via the Windows ZeroConfig API. there doesn't seem to be any support in the code for capturing raw packets from the radio.
i'm not sure, man. if you get a 1099 you'd be pretty foolish not to include it in your tax return, no? i mean, one copy goes to the IRS anyway, so if they don't see it in your return flags are going to start going up. last thing you want is flags on your return...
brainfuck is too large a language for beginners. i'd recommend FRACTRAN for which the programmer only has to learn a single operation and a halting condition.
my problem with significant whitespace is that when merging conflicting changes in a source control system, you can quite often end up with some lines being indented differently than their surrounding change, especially if change 1 indents a block for some reason and change 2 just changes one of those lines. When you have significant whitespace, you have to make sure that your merge tool understands that the whitespace from one change has to match the whitespace from the other change, otherwise the semantics of the merge is incorrect. with insignificant whitespace, the source file can be poorly indented, but at least the semantics of the merge remain intact.
He's taking hostages, shooting at cops, about to be taken out by a SWAT team, but he's working hard to increase his social network before he dies.
maybe if he paid a little more attention to the important things in life, like how ridiculous he looks in his pimp car, and what his poor mother must think about his reckless behavior; he might not have gotten himself in this situation in the first place.
i'm sorry, but as cute as processing is, it doesn't come close to touching the capabilities of silverlight, let alone flash. when you can do animated/layered compositing of bitmap effects on vector shapes in 3d, with audio & video at decent framerates - let me know.

once the cabal of large companies has invested huge amounts of capital on boosting the strength of their patent portfolios, they're not going to allow that investment to evaporate overnight if they think it gives them an advantage in the market.
initially these companies have been willing to lobby for patent reform, but as the trolls increase their attacks, and the companies grow their defense portfolios, that lobbying effort is going to diminish until the point when they start lobbying against patent reform. when that happens, barring some radical campaign finance reform miracle, you can basically kiss goodbye to innovation in the US.
i loved grim fandango & Syberia. it's a shame to me that action RPGs are labeled as 'adventure' and the real adventure games have fallen by the wayside.
i don't understand why sales people need commissions in order to do a good job. how about giving them stock options or bonuses just like everyone else?
surely a work force that's interested in furthering the interests of the company as a whole is better for the company than one that's only interested in their own well-being?
if you're getting a commission then you're less likely to be a team player, less likely to find innovative ways to collaborate with your colleagues, less likely to benefit the company.
we just need voice recognition so we can speak the text of a message instead of typing it. on the receiver's phone they can have it read back to them by a voice synth.

here's the WiFi info the code captures:
ObservationGenerator.cs, line 795
- mac address
- signal strength
- infrastructure mode (ad-hoc/infrastructure, etc..)
- 802.11 network type (frequency-hopping/direct-sequencing, etc...)

yeah, he really had his priorities straight.
He's taking hostages, shooting at cops, about to be taken out by a SWAT team, but he's working hard to increase his social network before he dies.

why? have you never named a variable 'alpha' or 'delta'? why are some greek letters better than others?
no, the article is very poor.
if you want a good explanation of rvalue references, watch this video: rvalue references, perfect forwarding and associative containers. actually, just watch the whole series...

it's also the thing that makes these not just very silly looking cars.
Again, as married guys know, having a wife complaining about the same thing over and over gets fast quick.
is it the complaining that gets fast, or the wife?
that's all well and good (caching, etc...), but perception is everything when you program crashes with an out-of-memory exception.
I don't know why
because those are the douchebags that pay the politicians who pay the media companies to tell you who to vote for.

you'll lose quite a few of those rights after you're convicted of assault.

Grim Fandango! ones of the best games I've played. superb writing. I can't recommend this one enough.

Smartphone: text message to Jane. I had a great time on our date last night. What are you doing on Saturday?
phones can already do this. it's called a phone call.
we just need voice recognition so we can speak the text of a message instead of typing it. on the receiver's phone they can have it read back to them by a voice synth.
Only the security API for Windows NT had that modern concept. These api's were ported over to WindowsXP
no NT APIs were 'ported' to XP. XP was NT (version 5.1 build 2600 to be precise)
How much of that stuff can you get on Windows' default install?
JScript/VBScript interpreters, C#/VB.NET/JScript.NET compilers, PowerShell, MSBuild.
