I know SP2 turns it on by default, and the firewall is enhanced, but it seems the basic thing MS is saying is it's there and it's on, which is what makes Windows more safe. That could have been true before SP2, right?
I find the GLib class libraries with their implementations of hashtables, safe strings, auto-growing arrays, data sets, and memory chunks to be more than sufficient for "safe, don't fuck it up, poindexter" programming that makes most people feel safe in Java, but lets me get all the C goodness as well, for client apps. Not to mention GTK.
It's pretty hard to beat glib+gtk in C for client apps. It's the new VB.
Microsoft will eventually find some unexpected way to counter Linux, if you keep paying attention to them. The best thing to do is just let Microsoft continue to make money hand over first for the next ten years or so, wait for Gates and Balmer to retire, and *still* Microsoft will be around for 50 more years, being all important -- but they'll just fade into the woodwork. Best to keep your mind focused on your work.
The last time I was "into it" a bunch of wierdos showed up and tried to drive the stock market to 30,000. Now everybody in India is into it.
Shh, don't be upset. I'm just gonna go bag groceries and change the world again by walking away from it all. You all won't be so into the "future" when you've found out the rest of us don't much care for the wierd game.
It's no biggie. Like I said, some people have what it takes to do it -- I don't. More power to 'em. My grandfather's day consisted of sweepin the floor and opening boxes of fruit in a store he owned. I get more than enough pleasure being a rank amateur hacking away on Linux. I get all the good vibes I need. Who needs the rest of it?
I'm just gonna be poor, you don't need much. You need about $6 million dollars to not be poor as a senior citizen, if you don't have a pension. None of the crap jobs offer anything like that.
I've decided to just run a cash register and be poor. It was good enough for my grandfather.
Nothing wrong with the rest of the people, I'm just not very good at being whatever-it-you-call it. Successful. Evil. Whatever. I'm over 30 now and through with programming as a profession or even giving a shit what happens in the industry.
I'm content to be a hobbyist dinking with Linux at night from now on and being a total Rodney Dangerfield. I'd rather just be poor.
I'm glad to see they are doing a serious-er Batman. I never liked the original Keaton/Nicholson Batman series that start this more recent bunch of movies. I always thought Nicholson played the Joker as too much of a buffoon. My vision of the Joker was Alan Moore's, from the killing joke, where his pregnant wife died in a testing a Baby Bottle heater, he rapes Barbara Gorden/Batgirl then shoots her in the spine, and leaves her paralyzed, and then makes a throne of dead babies. Plus he's acting really, really gay the whole time. That's the joker!
And of course the Dark Knight returns with an 65 year old Batman beating the shit out of an evil Superman.
These young wankers don't even understand, do they?
We have to leave the planet. *When* all life is extinguished on this planet, as occurred to the dinosaurs, unmanned spaceflight will be wiped out too. We need a failover system - quick. Within 1000 years.
These are only subsets of the rationals. For the Reals you'd have to count "PI". The only movies IMDB turns up with "square root" with them are Square Root of Zero and Square Root of Negative 3.
What in god's name is a scheme like shell: doing in FireFox in the first place? For god's sake and for the last time, *I do not want my browser or email program to execute arbitrary code*.
Just check out CDs from the Library and rip them with abcde to flac and archive the.flacs on DVD-R (you can fit about 11 "CDs" per DVD), then make.ogg copies or whatever for your devices.
Sigh. I guess I'm going to have to sit down and make my own templates for these as well. Does glabels support vertical retangular stickers as well as round CD stickers on the same sheet?
Oh yeah, and one more level of nesting seems to be permitted if (1) there is a long list of say related magazine articles, for the same Magazine, but not articles for different magazines and (2) there is some semantic purpose for keeping them together. For instance this guy I am thinking of would put all immediate co-workers together in a " Directs" folder, with a subfolder for each, but would dump everything else from everyone else in a giant "My Company" folder. Projects for the lab we were working on would be all in a "Lab Clients" folder but all other projects would be either archived or not nested.
I'm not quite sure how he did that. He definitely took a scalpel to his life.
What they are trying to do is tell you to organize your thoughts better. (Don't shoot me -- I'm just the messenger). A well-organized life should be expressibly simply.
Yeah, I know -- I can't do it either. But I've seen guys who can. They just get it right.

I hate it too, the spaces mess up Command Prompts. But people who think like this don't use command prompts.
I have seen a very, very, very high powered coder who did lots of the most high-end database projects and magazine articles work like this. It was amazing to see his clarity of thought.
I just bought a $499 iPaq 4355, $140 512MB SD card, and $349 Bluetooth GPS. The Ipaq has built-in 802.11B plus Bluetooth, plus a built in keyboard on the bottom. It weighs 5 ounces.
I went down to the local coffee shop with free wireless internet. It's totally worth it. So much easier than lugging out a laptop.
I never bought a PDA before this one: the processor is finally fast enough, there is enough storage, and most importantly a keyboard, and the software finally doesn't suck.
$1000 for all the stuff and totally worth every penny.
It doesn't appear to be possible to install the AdBlock extension in the Firefox 0.9RC or recent CVS builds. Adblock is highly desirable. Is it possible to install it?

I find it utterly hilarious that people say that Swing proves Java is fast, because the really fast parts aren't written in Java.

It sounds like all he has is an 80GB HD, and it serves up files.
Couldn't an ultra tiny machine do this?
What a waste.
Yeah. I think like you do. I like your way. But that was not this guys way, and I think this guy's way may be better.
You just have to see it. Trust me, he had a lot, a lot of stuff and it was all well-organized and shallowly arranged.
I think if the tree is not balanced you can collapse it. I dunno.

Here are some useful extensions packaged for Firefox 0.9.

This headline is improper: it should be "Microsoft's money" not "Microsoft Money."
The article never mentions the financial software anywhere. They do talk about Microsoft's cash on hand.
Not all of them.
