Bzzt! Do you really think most people can afford land? Maybe most the people in your social circles, sure. But surely not most people on the world. There are an awful lot of us, and most of us are dirt poor.
I won't dispute that most people want to own land, though I don't rightly know if they do.
I can do this pretty easily with my GeForce. The nVidia drivers installs a context menu item for video files: "Play on my > [monitor enumeration]". This option clones the video overlay full screen on the selected monitor. In my case, I say "Play on my TV" and I get full screen video on the TV, regular size video on the monitor, and happy task switching as long as I don't minimize or completely obscure the video player.
It also works for videos embedded in web pages, with one really annoying issue. Once I've selected "Play on my TV" all videos will play full screen on the TV, no matter how I open them. But after restarting the machine, until I force the video overlay to clone, it won't do it automatically. I wish I knew what setting to twiddle to turn it on automatically, or to turn it off if I don't want it anymore.
RegMon turned up nothing useful. I suspect it's somewhere in the video card firmware.
In fact, the most recent versions of Perforce have "Time-lapse view" in the GUI which will mark lines in a file with the revision, changelist, or date they were last modified, and the user that modified them. It also color-codes by age. Better integration with the IDE would be ideal, but it's not particularly difficult to use two tools.
I completely agree that littering the code with timestamp & modifier is too distracting in the vast majority of cases. On the other hand, embedding the bug id in a comment describing a bug fix can be useful. It's concise enough that I don't find it distracting.
Of course most of these arguments are moot, since this kind of thing really depends on the coding standard of the team you're working on.
it gives the most disgusting regimes the dignity of a soapbox, all for the sake of "neutrality."
All people should have the opportunity to speak freely, no matter how repugnant their views.
In fact, I seem to remember some document enumerating that as one of the first fundamental rights of the people. What was that document called? Hmm, I'll have to look through my files...
That's the point. People who buy multi-core servers are looking for a perf improvement over single-core. People who buy hyperthreaded servers are just buying servers, and these servers default to non-optimal settings.
My favorite part of the Zelda series is that they overhaul the engine and the visual style with every game. Much like the Ultima series.
The exceptions: Majora's Mask, for my money the worst game in the Zelda series, and Ultima VII part 2, which I never played.
The fact that the designers can maintain the themes and tropes of Hyrule and Britannia through several generations of technology and artistic direction is precisely what makes these series great.
Shettles suggests that if you are trying to conceive a girl, shallow penetration from your partner, preferably with the missionary position... don't orgasm during sex.
Shettles suggests that if you are trying to conceive a boy, deep penetration from your partner, preferably with the "doggy style" position... orgasms during sex are a good thing... have your partner drink a caffeinated beverage right before sex.
Basically, Y sperms are faster but shorter-lived than X, so if you want a baby boy, you have to get the sperm closer to the egg. Also, Y sperm like alkaline, X are chill with acidic. The vagina is more acidic at the entrance, and becomes more alkaline during/after orgasm.
So what can we infer from this? Clearly, engineers have longer members and satisfy their women better than most men.
And of course the caffeine thing speaks for itself.
the information age demands the unrestricted flow of information and the death of copyrights.
Not necessarily the death of copyrights, but at least a return to their original intent: an incentive for people to produce creative works, by guaranteeing that no-one else can profit from producing them, for a number of years. There's nothing wrong with copyright; there is something wrong with non-expiring copyrights.
WindowsUpdate doesn't even update Office in the first place. You've always had to go to OfficeUpdate to get Office patches.
WindowsUpdate is responsible for updating:
the OS -- not applicable to WINE users, OS patches will most likely break WINE
hardware drivers -- not sure of the applicability to WINE, but you're usually better off getting your drivers from the manufacturer anyway
Bundled software like Windows Media Player, MS Messenger, and Outlook Express -- if you're running these programs, for whatever ungodly reason, you'll just have to update manually
The link you provide is dated January, 2002. Microsoft introduced ActiveX in 1996. Ballmer did not say "Security was Microsoft's Top Priority" or "Security has been Microsoft's Top Priority," which he would have done were he referring to ActiveX.
Note that.NET, Microsoft's replacement for COM/ActiveX, was introduced in 2002. Imagine that, right around the time they made Security their Top Priority.
Thank you, Mr. Tense! You've enlightened us all once again!
Almost everything else about the Tweel is undetermined at this early stage of development, including serious matters like cost and frivolous questions like the possibilities of chrome-plating.
Chrome-plating frivolous?! Forget cost -- don't you know that chrome makes it faster?
the "big studio" music that you hear on the radio is far, far different (higher in quality)
Methinks you mean 'fidelity', not 'quality'.
Some artists sound better in the studio, having multiple takes and post-processing to perfect the sound. Some sound better live, having the ability to improv and roll with the energy of the audience.
But on re-reading your post, maybe you're limiting the domain to bands/performers that owe their popularity more to image and marketing than talent and skill. If that's the case, I retract the fidelity/quality statement. Those artists need multiple takes and post-processing to sound good.
The department responsible for filtering spam applies their efforts not just to Billy's inbox, but to the inboxes of employees throughout the company. That's 10s of thousands of developers and other staff. I'd say it justifies the existence of a department.
I'm sure there's crossover between the Exchange group and ITG on this matter.
Or go to a Theater that serves beer at its own attached bar and only advertises its sister venues. It's cheap, too.
Now here's something interesting: I'm not at all affiliated with McMenamins, I just like the way they do business. Is this an advertisement? An endorsement? A friendly recommendation? Are any of these terms a fully-contained subset of another? Am I wasting my time writing this drivel instead of working? Crap.
Instead of trying to come up with more effective ways to advertise products, they're just going to shove it down our throats as long as they can. If they can get the government to help them do it, all the better for them.
Here's the really fun part: according to corporate law and precedent, they are obligated to cram products down consumers' throats, to pander to and bribe politicians. Corporations must maximize shareholder interests, measured in dollars, to the exclusion of all other concerns. Charitable acts are good PR. Environment consciousness appeals to a growing market niche. Corporate actions can only be justified at the bottom line -- by law.
Shooting garbage into space is the equivalent of exploding the planet (albeit quite slowly). Not a good idea. We're already destroying Earth's biomass at an alarming rate.

"copyright owner" == the one who owns the right to make copies of X.
"copyright owner" != the one who owns X.
X = an idea or concept or work that does not derive its value from its physical properties.
Not an album: 2 new books.
Ack! The virus is touching me!

From what I hear, most of them are working at least one job.

Of course, you can go straight from Bachelor's to a doctorate program -- you don't have to make the Master's stop along the way.

Yes, just like diamonds!
Don't buy diamonds, kids. Their value is artificially inflated.
