Release Part 1, an incomplete and unusable product for a reasonable price.
Release Part 2 a year later, which gets much closer to being an actual solution, charge a little bit more.
Release the final Part 3 four years later. Give the reader a solution to a problem they had not been thinking about for years. Make it contrived enough to be all things to all people, include parts 1 & 2, then charge 10 times as much as Part 1.
You might know someone named Bill, who happens to do that, but there's another guy named George that does the same thing...
Call it childish esacpism combined with geekish fascination with space combined with the masculine desire for things that go fast combined with a capitalist desire to figure out how the idea could make money.
OK, just call it a dream. A few years before Arthur C. Clarke wrote about them, I dreamt of "space elevators", and I felt really validated when he also put the idea forth.
Maybe it is just a fantasy, but I think my.sig says it all... : )
I thought that should do it too, but the page won't render anything more than a single image with JavaScript disabled. FWIW, it doesn't render much more with JavaScript enabled, either. DISCLAIMER: Netscape 4.6 (Win32).
5km isn't enough. I wanna grab onto a big, long tether descending to the ground from a satellite in low earth orbit. Just imagine being able to take one of these "balloons" on a trip around the world in just 90 minutes!
I don't think it would work, just a fantasy of mine...
I just bought an ATA/100 7200rpm 2MB buffer IBM for less than the 540MB Conner I got five years ago, blah, blah blah -- it's NEVER going to be enough storage for your lifetime, we all know that. What I'd like to rant about is this: Why can't the speed and size of RAM increase at the same level as hard drives? At the very least, why can't they make the price DECREASE at the same rate as hard drives? I always spend ~$200 on HDD's, and I remember back in 95 or 96, a "gig" hit that golden price. Now a "gig" means RAM. 1GB RAM ain't much cheaper than it was four years ago, and my mobo wouldn't even be able to see it!
How can you qualify the 'is' part of that? What's he done in the last ten years that qualifies him as a pioneer?
Well, I meant to say engineer, but I goofed. In any case, how long does he get to keep the title? Does he lose it when he quits? When he dies? Or does he keep it in perpetuity? Not everyone will agree -- I'm just covering my bases!:)
I'm really just a novice programmer, and I'm fairly rusty since my high school days learning BASIC (Pascal would have been much nicer). I understand the basic concept of buffer overruns, and I'm well aware of it being a common exploit.
What I'd like to know is this: are programs written in any language vulnerable to an overrun? If not, is buffer checking something that is only/mostly necessary with C and C++, or is it highly dependent on the compiler/interpreter?
I think it would kick ass if Scully partnered up with that kid from Roswell.
Why not put her together with a character we already know? They couldn't use Spender the Younger, but what about teaming her up with The Lone Gunmen or Agent Pendrell?
These "I remember the good old days when we had to use spit and duct tape to make vacuum tubes" comments are a load.
Woz is/was a pioneer. He got there first, and he deserves a ton of credit for it, but no single man or woman could create a complete, modern PC system on their own. The market for PC technology has grown well beyond the hobbyist market, and with it has come competition to drive it much fasster and farther that it did 25 years ago.
That flame was so hot, everything within a 10km radius is either molten or in ashes. If CmdrTaco himself had posted it, that comment would be (Score:5, Funny), and everyone else would have laughed at it as much as I did.
Yes, I have the Katz filter on. That didn't stop me from getting this trojan Katz article posted by timothy last week, nor did it stop two previous articles.
I think it's a bunch of whiny Perl hackers that think that all source files should look like: $ cat/bin/bash
I dunno. Take a look at the Everything2 node and see if Rob or Kurt make any legitimate arguments against it.
As a contribution to your argument, I would like to say that Delphi, though quite similar to VB, is neither M$ nor BASIC. Notice the Everything2 writeup for Delphi. Not a bad thing is said about it! Hmmm...
In Windows 95, STEAL_FOCUS() allowed background applications to force themselves to the foreground. In Windows 98, STEAL_FOCUS() causes the bacground application's taskbar button to flash obnoxiously as an indication that it needs your attention.
I really can't see the problems you speak of, but then again, I don't notice the blinking taskbar buttons when I use Win98 at work, or the window ordering with W2K. In fact, I have relatively few complaints with Windows interface-wise at all. Who knows, maybe I've just shaped myself around it...
Wow, after a couple years of waiting, we finally get an announcement that there will be new TLD's sometime soon. Furthermore, they will separately convene to decide which ones they will add, then hopefully get it done by the end of the year sometime. Gee, I can hardly contain my excitement.
Are you talking about Windows 95, NT4 or what? The "theft of focus" issue was partially addressed TWO YEARS AGO with Windows 98. Have you ever seen that obnoxious blinking button in the taskbar? That's Windows 98/2000's/Millennium way of telling you that a "rude" application wants your attention without allowing it to steal the focus. It's a default behavior.
It sometimes annoys me when a program steals focus, but in most cases I find that there was a good reason the focus was stolen. Maybe DUN would make this more annoying, but I haven't dialed the Internet in four years. Since it doesn't, TweakUI for Win2K and WinMill allows me to change the default behavior.

In your opinion, which is the greater good?

There are two major products to come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We do not believe this to be a coincidence.

Bruce Campbell is the king of sci-fi camp. Go to the Internet Movie Database and look him up, or you can just check out this direct link

Nope, he got locked up in the Eiffel tower, but was eventually cast into the C...

Let's say the API call is STEAL_FOCUS...
