> What about all the times I crashed 747's into the World Trade Center in Microsoft FS2000?
"Thompson then took a shot at Microsoft's Bill Gates, stating, "What's next, Paul, a game in which players can practice flying commercial jetliners into the World Trade Towers? Oh, I forgot. Microsoft already did that. Thank Time's "Man of the Year," Bill Gates, whose Halo trained Lee Boyd Malvo to be the Beltway Sniper as well."

He's saying you can use the authentication agent socket dup to forward your own login attempts to the admin's authentication agent. No keys are sent, but the admin's agent will use the admin's key to allow your own surreptious logins.
With Apple's release of Boot Camp, tens of thousands of Windows users are ditching their Dell notebooks and hopping on the MacBook bandwagon, leading to a record increase of Smug in the atmosphere. Lets just pray to God George Clooney doesn't buy a MacBook.
Booth babes had the wonderful effect of attracting lines of single guys wanting a photo or autograph. That means shorter lines for the game and hardware demos the rest of us want to see. Without booth babes, everyone will look at the games, which ruins it for the rest of us.
Neither of these I would recommend in general, but they are both excellent books if you are dealing with the subject matter they discuss. They are both enjoyable reads and extremely useful.
Inside the C++ Object Model by Stanley B. Lippman. Lippman is one of the original authors of CFront (along with Stroustrup), the original C++ compiler which worked by translating C++ into C. This book explains how every C++ feature is implmented by the compiler: virtual functions, multiple inheritence, in-memory object layout, etc. If you are working on projects where the overhead of a pointer de-reference or virtual function call may be too much, then this book is a must read. Even if that doesn't describe you, this is still a suprisingly enjoyable read and will almost certainly help you at any job interviews for C++ programming positions.
Hackers Delight by Henry S. Warren Jr. This deals entirely with efficient bit twiddling. It has chapters on counting the bits set in a word, finding the first set bit, quick integer square root approximations, etc. Unless you're working with embedded systems or otherwise need assembly-level optimizations, this book just serves to obfuscate your code. On the other hand, it's quite a fun challenge to try to figure out the algorithms without reading the explanations.
While MSDN and online tutorials are fine for solving the very specific problems they address, they do nothing to teach you of programming philosphy or design in general. An application is more than a collection of code samples pasted together. That's more of a car wreck than an application. If you ever want to graduate beyond writing one-off tools to writing applications that other programmers will have to maintain in the future, you really should pick up a book. Besides, reading a book while compiling doesn't waste any CPU cycles.
I've been using it for a couple hours now and I have to say I'm extrmely impressed. It's not the fastest nor can it handle large images (only has 24MB RAM to work with), but it looks wonderful, renders most pages well, and provides a few special page layout options to better fit the screen. Also, the text input is quick -- it uses a modified cell-phone keypad interface with shortcuts for typing common computer terms "php", ".com", etc. It also handles HTTP authentication and SSL correctly making it fully capable on most web sites. I don't think it does flash though.
It's not just about the money. It's about the atmosphere. Nothing kills the mood in a coffee house more than a bunch of people working on their laptops. Maybe during weekday afternoons it's ok, but I think killing WiFi in the evenings and on weekends is a great idea.
Hmm, you don't seem to understand how money works. $250 is *more* than $40. If $40 is too much to pay for something, then $250 is way too much. See how that works?

If while booting the computer you press the NMI button (the little button on the front that isn't the reset or the power button), instead of the standard sad mac sound, you get a sampled screeching breaks and car crashing sound!
If you read the description, the firewire connection pins are directly next to the connection to the ATA optical disc drive. Maybe Apple wanted to have the option of shipping firewire based disc drives should they become cheaper.
"Altair's nanomaterials, which have a virtually zero strain crystal lattice, eliminate the main cause for battery electrode material fatigue, which limits rechargeable battery life, increasing the number of recharge and discharge cycles from a few hundred to many thousand cycles," said Dr. Vassilis G. Keramidas.
I've got it! Iraq must have moved all it's WMD to North Korea just moments before the US found them. Attacking N Korea isn't a new war, we're just finishing what we started in Iraq! This totally justifies our ongoing war in Iraq! I bet Bush is thrilled! Look at the Wookie!
My best guess is that they can do DRM decoding in one of the 8 coprocessors, DMA it to another for MPEG decoding, and DMA directly to the graphics processor to be scaled to the display resolution and output. That way the data is never available in main memory for someone to copy and all of the decoding is done in microcode that is offloaded to hardware instead of in software on the main CPU.

Others might call them "how to avoid common C++ n00b mistakes."

As an IT professional - this is the LAST place girls in bikinis want you to go.
The purpose of a vacation is to ESCAPE - the last thing they want to see is technology and be surrounded by GEEKS.

Can somebody explain how the F these people get personal info about all these people? Is there a way to know if they have my info?
