the socialist approach was to have the Government regulate the market (in favour of soviety, not the corporation), e.g Anti-Trust, monopaly breaking (RIAA)
The capatilist approach is to regulate the market in favour of the corporation over society, eg Current laws/thinking about IP, advertising, radio band licensing.
Take a look at the pixel shader language it ain't that hard really (not if you know what your doing). All the product seems to do is provide a few functions that would take vertex shader code to write from scratch.
Sounds like your suggesting that the video should be given an X/R rating, if it's having that kind of impact on children and parents. surly theres somthing criminal going on here, good job you spoted it coes it sure looks like no-one else did.
Loolking at the article and doing a few searches, he seems to be a capatilist, commenting in a socialist manner. He says, a monoply can't exist even though the product has reached critical mass. maybe he's got a case if there are Big product drivers (e.g. DVD's cost a mint and tapes ain't all that bad, and cost far more to produce!) But that just critical mass at play, the critical mass that YOU have next-to-no chance of getting a film published.
Here he's making kinda the same argument, but going for the socialist win (odd that!)
It does just-in-time compiling so you can change you code. Code compleation is strong-typed so you get less bugs. Memmory leak and buffer overruns and null pointers are checked.
Full graphical object browsing is supported so you can easly navigate, eval and change stuff. Thread support is good, and the dissasemblers not to bad either.
Debugging code produced by somthing else, well if it's a binary file you need to have the symbol information attached. If it's code then CBuilder will compile it up fine (hell you won't want to go back to MSVC++ anyway)
I've modded the IDE before and it quite easy to do, I added sourcesafe support,and some auto formmating. Good examples of what can be done are Class explorer and code compleation, they were once propritatry mods that Borland has now licenced.
Also, The IDE is far easier than Visuial studios, (though file management isn't that great) Visuial studio was once owned by someone else and Microsoft brought them up. Borland have been producing Greate IDE's ever since the days of DOS.
JBuilder is also a borland product and accounts for 40% of the Java houses, it's IDE is simila to CBuilder and Delphies.
Without want to rant, Borland produce the Best and most consistant IDE's I've ever used. just pop along to there web site and order/download a trial CD.
They also have far more compliant C++ , and are developing linux tools.
There's a great plugin API, Full RAD development, (makes visuial C look a bit well not visuial).
Borland have a strong history of producing great tools and great IDE's anyone that ever since the days of Turbo Pascal.
If your a little sceptical about Borlands credability in the modern market then the fact that JBuilder accounts for 40% of the Java house market should give you a bit of peace.
Ok, I'll file a bug report now that i know it works for someone else. The problem is, I use mixed fonts and different font sizes for things, and it looks like the preferances dialog is'nt taking accoun of this properly. Changing you font to 'I can't see that well' or 'Can you see from the back of the room' size, and things go really tit's up.
The idea of fuel died with storable / transferable energy sources. Fuel is normally used 'A Gas fueled power station' Gas is a fuel. Power is used for the transferable energy e.g. plug you pc into the power outlet. So a gas cooker is fueled and an electric cooker is powered.
I always though tabs worked a bit funny (not closing the current tab), but now there worse, they close the most reciently opened one first, apparently this is a bug fix in the 1.1 release.... more like a buggered fix...
Unfortunatly not, well interms of usablilty, The prefreances box is still not resizable, this is one of the most WTF bugs, evryone uses the preferances box so why is it so hard to see what going on. Try setting your Mail & New group / Send format, the options fall off the bottom of the page.
Mozilla also fails to use my system colours, this is another clasic 'You fool' usability bug.
Somone at AOL/Netscape should be driving fixes for this type of bug, because they piss people of far more than taking a while to display somthing, or occasionally having to hit refresh.
It's arround 2000 coppies of celien deions latest CD in MP3 format,
though you could manage 20000 if you chose to use a higer compression ration and achieve better listening quaulity. (at the expense of owning 20000 coppies!)
So the water is Fuel, 1: lazer hits water, (the lazer is already energy!) 2: Potential level of the water rises, 3: Water turns to vapor and 4: pushes the plane along the 2->3 potential/reaction mass is the fuel being used here.
No way, this is a carefully enginered distro, no hacking at all, years of pain and missisry have gone into finding the most obscure algorithms to get the job done. Advanced DRM technology, for speeker licenses, if you don't have a licence to connect the speekers to the PC and play that song, then they get bombarded with square waves and lots of clipping until they follow the licence aggrement.
Why it's so secure that i cant even open the coffie cup holder.
Unfortunatly most punishments are childish and sadistic and don't make any attempts to show the criminal the error of there ways.
I don't aggree with the corrent system at all, so i don't report crimes if they happen, even if they happen to me. I try to think of why the crime was commited and address that issue. e.g. The criminal felt or was in poverty.
As i seem to remember from my school days, God gave us the freedome of choise to commit crimes, it is your right to be a criminal. That dosn't mean you take up that right, laws should not be made to stop people commiting crimes, but to punish them when they do. The moral responsibilities of most people will stop them from commiting crimes
Well that's the wonder of modern tech, it's so easy to gloss over the anarchy that's happening in the background!
On a serious note, the company i work for holds all the GOD information, thers a lot of it, and a hell of a lot of processing to do, collecting and processing all kinds of crap data from all over the place, and unifying it. Banking sector work is about shunting stuff arround, I worked for a while on a finincial services project that used vb6 (before it was officially relased). it works, just but boy was that a fuckup, and guess how many people know that there electric bills are processed using it!.
That dosn't mean that someone other company hasn't paid an individual to fix a bug in a piece of OSS they are using (directly or indirectly),
e.g. I recompiled ssleay under windows with Borland C++ comnpiler, which took a bit ok hacking arround.
Even compiling somthing with debug on and posting a bug report back to the developers is helping to contribute to the development of the software.
Producing documentation is another great way to help contribute to a project, If your using OSS in your company and produce training manuals, prohaps you should consider donating them.
All in all OSS is about the comunity working to make a better product in more ways than just coding.
"the book is not made out of paper or printed using a conventional process. It's plastic -- waterproof, resilient, eligible for recycling in most locales, and an early step towards what the authors hope will be infinitely recyclable synthetic book-making materials. "
Isn't that kinda against the opening few paragraphs of your review, isn't recycling degrading the materials, where as paper can be thrown on the ground....
Anyhow, I'm a bit of an anti-wood pulp man, and think they should have printed the book on hemp paper, which will last a few hundred years, be recycleable, use less chemicals etc...
How much of a mess is banking in, quite a bit. most of the java programmers I know who do banking work are writing data pumps &co. They were also using imature technologies e.g. XML, and a riff-raff of components in various states of hack arround required. There also using an aufull lot of SUN boxes, which dosn't quite fit with the Java protability ideal. e.g. Java is a bitch to get working on HP unix I didn't say Java wasn't good, or usefull but I wouldn't fly in a plain, or launch a rocket if I knew it's systems were written in Java. It's a bit like putting NT on a battle ship!

Can the themes be disigned in a way that applys a style to your system colours, e.g. by using PNG's and colour blends/masks?
It worked in the UK

I have the most secure distro,
but unfortunatly you can't have a copy, just incase you find a bug.
Logon requires you press ctrl+alt+delete , because it's oh so hard for memory resident apps to not die when this happens.
My mouse has only 1 button to confuse any computer literate people, and allow me to catch them in the act.
I've remapped the keyboard, to confuse those who touch type.
No network (because the kernel dosn't have the correct drivers),
No-ones hacked it yet.
25-40 Mbps is 3 - 5 MBps my hdd transfers at between 35 and 40MB per second (in bursts), thats udma 100
udma 30 is about 10MB per-second.
That's assuming your not hitting memory buffers,
It could in theory improve heat dissapation, say you made a dimond mesh (diamond is a great thermal conductor compaired to air, or most things!)
The mesh would collapse the sound waves (turn them into heat probably!), and be able to conduct the heat better than air would.
Ok it's probably impossible to do this, but copper/steel wool might have the same kind of effect!)
