yeah, but the greeks kept their history in one room.
if i was an alien visiting Nevada in 10,000 years. I'd either make sure I'd said 'hello' to the locals beforehand or I'd be carrying at least one geiger counter. I've flown 500 parsecs to get here, I'm not going to let myself get ill because I've stepped in a puddle of goo some idiot left there 10,000 years ago, now am I?
why not have a sign that just says 'radiation: keep out!' in a few common current languages?
It's not like we can't change the sign if a new language comes along. And it's not like civilization will forget that there's a whole bunch of really nasty shit in the Nevada.
yeah, unfortunately none of those applications you want to install will actually run on your cut-down OS since they all depend on components that you didn't install.
seriously, Woody is more stable than most other distros even before release. Yes, it's still got a few critical bugs, but they're mostly for non-x86 platforms. it's not like getting the final bits is going to be any harder than typing 41 characters.
if the record labels want to make the switch (and they will!) they will probably just do exactly what they did when they wanted to switch from vinyl to CDs - force the issue.
apparently, retailers can return unsold media to the distributers in exchange for new content. the distributers just told the retailers that they would stop accepting returns of unsold vinyl. This forced the retilers to make the switch. That's why the 'longboxes' were popular - the retailers didn't even have time to remodel their shops for the smaller format.
you can write simple a VBScript/JScript script to deploy IIS metabase info. it takes a little time to learn the interfaces, but it's no harder than learning the syntax of.conf files.
Good call. I use Cygwin extensively on my windows machines. I used to use 4/NT as a command line replacement, now I'm moving more towards bash. The cygwin distribution is remarkably rich one of my favorites right now is sshd.
There's a bunch of stuff I can think of off the top of my head:
installation
excellent tools:
enterprise manager
isqlw
query tuning wizard
DTS
ado/oledb
stored procedure language doesn't suck ass:
returning rowsets
far superior optimizer
automatically pre-compiled stored procs
cached ad-hocs
prepared statements
functions
indexed views
optimized remote queries
partitioned views
functions
no vacuum
decent replication
oh, did I mention, the optimizer rocks. one nice feature that psql has over mysql is nested queries. The difference between mysql and psql is that mysql will completely rewrite your query choosing the best joins based on dynamically updated stats.
PostgreSQL is definitely lightyears ahead of MySQL (except maybe in really simple joins) but it's nowhere near as mature as commercial offerings from MS, Oracle or IBM. It has some pretty cool feature that the others don't have, but it's missing the big stuff.
What a weird thing you're telling. IMNSHO it's totally irrelevant that the number of weapons per capita is higher, what matters is that it cost the life of 12000 people.
Of course it's relevant. It indicates that it's not just the guns that are responsible for the killings. The bottom line is that people that want to kill other people will find the means to do so whether or not you make it legal to obtain guns. Handguns are illegal in the UK, but those numbers indicate that the law isn't all that effective in stopping gun crime. Sure it reduced it somewhat, but it's still pretty high compared to a country where handguns are legal. The point being that criminals are criminals whatever country you're in, and that the vast majority of (legal) gun owners in the US take the solemn responsibility of owning a gun seriously, take steps not to let them fall into the wrong hands, and don't in fact fire them in anger or even in self-defense.
The idea that gun owners are crazed lunatics is one widely propagated by the ant-gun lobbyists in the US. But it just isn't true.
And look at the majority of movies you export to the rest of the world
They're stories! Come on! They're made-up people in made-up situations. Movies about average people doing average things just don't sell. Why pay to sit in a cinema to watch that when you can just watch life for two hours?
Given this, the US has roughly 50 times the firearm-related homicides of the UK.
That's pretty low considering that there's probably many more than 50 times the number of guns per capita in the US than there are in the UK.
For the most part it's not the cowboys in the US that commit the shooting crimes. If you were to call such a crimial a cowboy, they'd probably shoot you...
Yeah Access, the utter piece of shit that blew its competition (Borland Quattro Pro) out of the water.
No, the reason that Word/Excel are part of Mac Office is that they were written from the start (pretty much) to run on the Mac. Word & Excel had graphical interfaces on the Mac well before Word for Windows came out. The Mac versions of these apps were eventually built from the same codebase as their Windows counterparts using a windows portability library (WLM) developed internally at microsoft which was shipped as part of Visual C++ Macintosh Edition (which was the first project I worked on at MS). Access was always a Windows-only app and since they reimplemented all of the windows controls (to support Access Basic & Databinding) it would be pretty tricky to port it to the Mac.

i bought an 8500 recently (to replace my Geforce2) and i have to say that the drivers are pretty good. nothing like the horror stories I've heard.

and i have the scars to prove it.
no, that doesn't make sense, but that's not what the article says. read it again.
any sysadmin that thinks that the only way to administer IIS is through the MMC also deserves to be fired.
you can write simple a VBScript/JScript script to deploy IIS metabase info. it takes a little time to learn the interfaces, but it's no harder than learning the syntax of .conf files.
- via the MMC plugin
- via the web interface (if you installed it)
- via COM interfaces (the same ones that the MMC uses) using some COM enabled language, javascript being the easiest
- via LDAP
There's no text file because it's a database.Has Apache switched to XML conf files yet? There's nothing like a schema to make sure you've typed the right things.
good job we evolved with two hands then, eh?
runas.exe is their friend.
yeah the TAB key expansion in bash isn't such a wow since CMD.EXE can do exactly the same thing. try typing 'help cmd' in a command prompt sometime...
"gvim -y" works ok.

oops, yes you're right, thanks.
