Simple. Setup a Linux machine as a server running Samba (http://www.samba.org). Setup a user account on the server and then use the Windows "Map Network Drive" functionality to map the home directory for the user account. My University did this for the CompSci students. Worked brilliantly. My advice: Search around for a good online samba reference/tutorial.
It's Dreamweaver for me. I've tried living without it, but it's just too good of an HTML editor. Yes, it has flaws, but nothing I've tried on GNU/Linux even comes close. And don't even get me started about using it under WINE.
You're right: inline functions will generate larger compiled code sizes if the function is called often enough. However, it is not impossible that the overhead of calling the function generates more machine code than inlining the code. This would depend on the system he is targetting and the size/purpose of the function that is to be inlined.
On the other hand, I reread the post several times, and I'm probably wrong, but it almost sounds like he is running into a problem with "source code" space. Could it be that he is compiling the code on the embedded system?
At any rate, this post should be modded as Offtopic because it doesn't really attempt to answer the problem. I'm guess I'm just trying to figure out if there isn't maybe another solution.
Giving the user choice as to where the data is stored adds a layer of complexity to the problem. IMHO, for the most part the user does not need to know where the various pieces of information are stored. The user would only have to be concerned with what type of services they use. For example, the user should not have to be worry about where their addressbook is. It should be stored on some nameless "addressbook server" and made availlable to all of their email addresses.
(07/20/02) : Due to legal entangelments provided by Apple and their legal partners, Zettabyte Solutions is no longer able to offer the SuperDrive equipped eMac in its current state. We will fill our existing orders and provide warranties for all eMacs sold under our name.
Zettabyte is a solutions provider and was trying to fill a need in the Macintosh community. We will continue, to the best of our ability, to furnish solutions wherever there is a need. Please look to us in the future for product upgrades, enhancements, and solutions for your Macintosh.
Why not rather build a better system for updating software? Perhaps an automated system of some sort that "patches" software as updates become availlable.
A feature like this could be made optional, so that SysAdmins of general users could turn it off if they wanted to. This would alleviate concerns that "Open Source is about not forcing you to do anything." and would also prevent mission-critical software from going offline while it is patching itself.
Programmatically speaking, a system like this sounds feasible. There would have to be some standards or for where updates could be obtained from, or "trusted" update sites.
Why would terrorists want to attempt to destroy or cripple the Internet? It would be naive to think that they do not use it for communication and information. I could be wrong, but to me it would not make sense for them to try and destroy or harm the Internet as a whole.
Attacking portions of the Internet might make more sense, but I still do not think that terrorists would try to destroy or criple extremely vital portions of the Internet that affect it as a whole.
Perhaps Intel/AMD are simply tring to eliminate the possibility of a competitor. Or at least to eliminate someone else buying Alpha and turning it into a competitor.
But we never hear about the effects of sex in the media. Whenever some kid goes out and kills somebody, we hear about how the media supposedly affected them. But when someone rapes another person or has kids when they are like 13 years old, we never hear about the effect of sex in the media on them.
Where did you find this out? I've read through the full article and most of the site, and it doesn't indicate this anywhere I can see. In fact, it does not make sense that a game would not run until it was certified, because then they could not test it on the system (even though they can develop it on a PC).
From what I understand, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the Certification process is just Indremeda's way of ensuring that games are bug free. It also seems to be a handy way to pay the bills.
"...developers are charged a fee when a game is submitted for technical certification and royalties are charged on each unit of software sold. Freeware games, and Gildred believes there will be plenty of them, will only be charged for technical certification"
Prediction: People will develop games for free and offer them over the internet without paying for or using "technical certification".

I think it's a great law too (even though I'm a fanatic Mountain Biker). Motorized Vehicles and Bikes don't belong on the sidewalk.
BTW, isn't it under the age of 18 that you have to wear a helmet...?

In fact, the law actually says we don't need to own the music in the first place. That is, it is perfectly legal to copy music from, say, the radio.
I've never heard this before. Are you serious? This doesn't sound legal at all!
