.NET is a development platform and it's far from "Vapor". It's similar in concept to the Java platform in many ways but different in many others. For windows developers it's a whole new way of writing, well, just about everything. Web Services is just a part of it.
Not so hard, considering that beta2 came on 3 CDs.
the one thing needed for a succesful.NET is a large, succesful group of developers
exactly. and they'll get it too.
Visual Basic programmers who previously thought they were being treated like second class citizens get the language enhancements and interop they've been crying out for. C++ programmers get to do RAD without suffering MFC or VB. Everyone talks the same "language" (CLR) now and the tools simply rock.
As far as MD's comments, I'm surprised. For developers.NET isn't about markting, it's not about Passport, Hailstorm or any other media buzzword being thrown around in a cloud of ignorance. It's about Visual Studio. Balmer's right, great developer tools are key to MS's success I just wish they'd got generics in there.
I have never seen a "User rights in cyberspace" bill
Unfortunately, you probably have:
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
I don't remember seeing anything in th constitution about internet taxes, carnivore, or the entire FBI for that matter.
my site uses popups to provide modeless functionality such as settings, login, info etc... (and no, none of them 'lock' you in, or even contain any advertising). we just did it that way because it makes sense, and it makes the site 'feel' a little more like an application. howevr, if you disable pop-ups or javascript then we're screwed.
it's a shame that after all this time we finally have a decent set of publishing functionality (dhtml/javascript) that's available and consistent (w3c) across many platforms, but that that same functionality is being killed by idiots like this that just want to make a quick buck. it's a public nuisance and should be outlawed, then maybe the rest of us can go back to doing somthing useful.
you can install Microsoft's C++ compiler, linker and headers without any of the visual C++ stuff for free as part of the Platform SDK (look for the 'build' environment).
The only information you have to give to get a passport is an email address, (it dosn't even have to be valid) a password and an answer to a stupid "what's your favorite pet?" question. I uggest you go get one yourself, then you might appreciate the risks a little more.
Contrast this to Linux or any other UNIX variant, the whole model and concept of which was designed with user and process security and isolation from the ground up.
eh? on NT you can assign ACLs to registry keys. For example regular users have read-only access to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE.
The use of ACLs on NT makes the security much more configurable than the simple user/group permissions on most variants of UNIX. Some Unices have ACLs, but that's hardly designed from the ground up is it?
actually if you think about it, clones make the best soldiers. for a few reasons:
you don't have to recruit, they're born into slavery, err.. service.
you can breed the perfect soldier then just copy him, you don't have to weed out those that can't cop physically (or even psychologically).
spare parts are easily accessible, blood transfusions and transplants are guaranteed to take - you don't need dibilitating immune-system-draining drugs in your MASH units. the dead/injured can be repaired or frozen for spares.
unfortunately the 'willfully' here applies to the action and not to the violation. you can willfully break a law without knowing that the law exists. this clause basically states that you're not breaking the law if you weren't aware that you were doing the thing that was illegal. i doubt that "sorry, i didn't know i was writing and selling that code" will stand up in court. although, IANAL, of course.
i believe that Dmitri was arrested because he was the copyright holder of the code in question.

Which Laptop To Buy?

yeah, i bought a winbook x1 for my mum a while back and i was really impressed with it (and more than a little reluctant to give it up;0 ) the screen was excellent (1024x768) and had much better clarity and viewing angle than the dell inspiron i'm using now. the keyboard was well layed out, the touchpad was responsive, with a nice 'toggle' button that emulates the mouse-wheel. plus it was really small and light. I think the comparable dells have come down in price quite a bit now so I'm not sure if it's still such a steal, but definitely worth looking into. i installed win2k on it for her, but i seem to remember it used a pretty standard chipset, so it should run oss stuff fine too.
actually, it's been there since wfw311 (windows for workgroups) but still, your point it right on the money. this guy doesn't know his ass from a hole in the wall. I can't believe he uses the word 'GURU' as part of his nickname.
for example, create a file 'get.js' with that script in it, and do 'cscript get.js "http://www.google.com"'. You could also do this from an ASP page. You might need to upgrade IE, or get the XML parser update from MS for this to work right.
Yup, good ole' Henry VII taught us a healthy disrespect for organised religion. I find it funny, though, that it's the chruch of England, that he founded because he didn't want the catholics telling him he couldn't get a divorce that are up in arms about prince charles getting remarried. what a farce!
are you a post-natal mother? apparently new mothers have uncontrollable urges to pick up babies with their butts sticking way in the air. probably something to do with the fact that if they're in that situation, then the baby is probably on it's way out of the cave, see darwin for the rest...
Now I fault Microsoft for writing code that can't handle a drive rfailure,
You can't handle a driver failure. By definition a driver is part of the kernel, and if the kernel screws up, you're toast. the NT kernel does support exception handling, in fact many of the kernel support routines require you to handle exceptions that they throw, but if you don't handle an exception, or BugCheck intentionally then there's nothing the kernel can do. "Oh, the drive controller failed to load this virtual memory page from disk that I was just about to execute kernel code in, hey I'll just make it up as I go along..." I don't think so.
Maybe someone can correct me here, but I don't think there are any desktop operating systems that can recover after an unhandler kernel-mode exception.
err, if you class 'sending information to another computer' as being a server, then posting that slashdot article counts, doesn't it?
even if they did use ftp, it wouldn't be by running an ftp server on your machine, they'd just do the equivalent of a 'put'. the fact that when you open an ftp connection to an ftp server, that ftp server actually tries to open a connection back to your client pretty much makes you a server whenever you download anything from an ftp server. unless, of course, you're doing a 'quote PASV' for each ftp connection.

now what was i doing?
would these be the same people that are (albeit indirectly) funding the terrorists, then?
i doubt the same could be said of the makers of fuel cells.
yes, CMD.exe is still there, but more important is the presence of the much more powerful, and sadly ovrlooked cscript.exe
Being able to automate COM objects (i.e. most windows functionality is now automatable) from script is huge.

iisresest /stop kills the IIS process, which would stop any threads that are running within it (including those CR2 threads).
