IE has a checkbox in the advanced settings called "Enable install on demand" but unchecking it makes no difference as far as I can see.
Unchecking it prevents IE from offering to download IE language packs when you visit a website you cannot view with currently installed languages. Nothing more. If you have all the languages you can read installed already, then you probably won't want this checked.
Mind you neither of them use sat nav to do it, what with them being undergrround much of the time.
Tower Gateway - Beckton DLR trains don't run underground at all. Even Bank - Lewisham trains spend a very small proportion of their journey underground.
Is GPS going to be accurate enough to tell which track of 4 parallel tracks the train is running on? Because from a safety perspective, this is probably the single most important thing to know. I suspect we're going to be subject to more delays due to GPS readings that are a couple of feet out causing panic to set in unnecessarily, until the controllers get complacent and eventually we have another high speed collision because too much faith was put into GPS readings instead of the traditional tracking of the train as it goes through points.
1. Supermarket lowers the price of milk
2. Supermarket must still make profit
3. Supermarket raises prices for something else
Who pays ? You do.
I think you misunderstand how supermarkets work:
1. Supermarket lowers price of milk
Who pays? The farmers supplying the milk do, because the supermaket gives them the choice of supplying milk at a reduced price, or losing their business.
The only thing keeping the price of milk up is that there are other supermarkets the farmers can sell to.
and I have seen clear case totally bungle automatic merges before.
I have seen *designers* totally bungle merges before.
The biggest problem with Clearcase is that developers (or designers if you prefer) do not want to take a 3 day course to learn how to use a tool that is peripheral to their core job. So they end up using a very small part of it (badly), so small (and so badly) that they might as well be using RCS.
Its kind of sad that PR has come to mean dissing the competition. Whether its politicians or software companies, noone seems to promote their own good points anymore.
A quick test for driving directions from my work to home on map24 had me driving over a section of road that was pedestrianized about 10 years ago. I'll stick with multimap's static maps with up to date data behind them thanks.
The UK version is useless. It won't go any more fine grained than "London City" for me, refusing to recognise any postcodes or street addresses I input.
And the problem is that, such data is not easily available for other countries.
mapquest, multimap and others don't seem to have any problem covering the whole world. Some countries are covered in less detail than others, but this comes down mainly to which maps they licensed. It is certainly nothing to do with the USPS.
so the scientific consensus had been "we haven't seen any so they don't exist."
That sounds more like the creationists' consensus. Scientists are less obsessed with being God's special little unique creation, and are more likely to adopt the view "we haven't seen any but we're sure they must exist".
At the board level, you're probably right. But somewhere within MCI there are individuals that are using spammers to meet their sales targets. They're not about to drop it without pressure from above.
Often it is impossible for a distributed crawler to make use of the not modified response because what can happen is you have two crawlers from different data centres crawling the same site at the same time. The checking is then done some time later...
It is very simple for a crawler to handle a Not Modified response. All it means is that the index entries for that page do not need updating. As for two crawlers crawling the site at the same time, if they coordinated their crawling better they'd be more efficient.
Crawl-delay slows down the rate at which it indexes the site, it has no effect on the frequency of indexing. It also has a maximum value of something like 300, beyond which it gets ignored.
To clarify, if you have a site with 2 pages: index.html and page1.html, then your Crawl-Delay will make the robot wait 2 minutes between requesting index.html and page1.html, but it will not affect the time between fetching index.html and the next time it comes back to fetch index.html.
Personally I don't care how quickly a robot completes a single indexing pass of my site, it is just the frequency that MSBot comes back to reindex pages that never change that I consider excessive.
Yeah, I'm starting to wrap all my pages with a script that keeps track of the last access times of the various crawlers, and unconditionally returns a "302 Not Modified" response if they come back to the same page within 6 hours. I frequently get MSNBot hitting my front page every 5 minutes for a couple of hours, then it comes back a day or so later and does it all again.
I don't know why none of the crawlers seem to bother with conditional requests. Surely it must save them load and bandwidth as well as the servers they're hitting.
The Portugese were the first Westerners to have contact with Japan, but it was their spreading of Roman Catholicism that got the country closed to all foriegners except Chinese and Dutch traders who were allowed only into Nagasaki. It may be a Dutch ship you were thinking of.
BTW, MS's own XML parser chokes on these docs as well. Money can parse it, but, the msxml parser chokes on it.
I suspect that if you use the MSXML SAX parser, or any other SAX parser for that matter, you can ignore the exceptions it throws up and carry on parsing. Perhaps that is what MS Money is doing.
I definitely wouldn't expect a DOM parser to handle such a broken document.

According to the Apache docs, you can compile with nmake using Makefile.win
No, I'm not. And I agree that its a particularly badly named option. I just came across this information a while ago and thought I'd pass it on.

I thought you were listing its good points. Many companies release documents in PDF format for this very reason.
and Acrobat is pretty expensive, BTW
So use OpenOffice, or Ghostscript, or one of the many other free tools that can output to PDF.

Easy: What self respecting Chinese or Russian would want to use an OS they can't pirate?

What would slashdot geeks talk about if the IT bubble hadn't burst?
I work in the meat section, just graduated from pushing trolleys around the carpark. Where abouts do you guys work?

I've heard the su + (me)shi theory from several Japanese as well.
I agree the DS looks old in comparison (I'd say '70s though, not '50s), but the shiny black plastic of the PSP looks very '80s to me.
I think you mean droids
