. . notepad.exe or vi if you have linux. I spent a long time writing software the manages todos (https://oggflow.com) (among other things), but nothing beats notepad.exe (or any plain text file editor.) I use the following notations:
- this is an unfinished task (due date: Apr 1 2018)
- this is a subtask (note: don't forget to whatever) o this is a task I'm currently working v this is a task I've finished
Nothing beats this for me. I sometimes even do this on paper instead of the computer.
OK, They sang the praises of their home grown database while they tried to sell us $11MM worth of web links. Each of their page hits would serve up like 10 links or something silly like that. I remember trying to convince our CTO/etc. that this was the stupidest thing. We ended up not taking the deal, and a VoIP company took the deal. Suckers!
I'm a fan of C#, but IMO the reason C# is trailing and will continue to trail Java a lack of cross platform support. Ironically, the solution to Java GUI cross platform support (SWT) will save C#. Check out the various project to port SWT (for Java) to C# here.
As mentioned before, Java is already headed to the land of fully open source native cross platform binaries. The fine GCJ folks have already implemented most of the 1.4 JDK with libjava. Throw in SWT and you have the holy grail of open source software applications development. A single code base that compiles to native binaries for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, etc.
Well, if you give the technical sales support (people who know how to boot up and run the software that the sales rep is selling) the title of "Sales Engineer", you gotta give it to programmers. But I agree, it doesn't seem fair that marketing and liberal arts guys get to call themselves software engineers. Programming really is easy for the most part. Good design is not.
I wrote a white paper about this on new years day. The mingw project has made native Win32 binary development using Java and the SWT API possible. In my opinion this is the only true write once, compile anywhere solution.
I've been using the Gimp with GTK 2.0 on Cygwin for a while too. Another cool thing about Cygwin for Java developers is you can write gcc/make compatible libraries to access POSIX/open source library features that "pure" Java doesn't give you access to. I often use this to compile the same code base under windows and solaris and linux/etc. and use the exact same Java JNI code to get access to quite a lot of open source C/C++ code libraries in a cross platform fashion.
Here is a good avsforum that talks about copy protection on DTV. It seems that DVI (Digital Video Interface) may be the future and may render current HTDV's obsolete. DVI is one of the copy protection schemes for HDTV (along with a firewire one).
Two things, I'm also playing around with Linux based PVR's, (my own effort just started) and peer to peer stuff. I even do it for a living. I agree that pirating is illegal, however, I don't think you are going to stop it. I think that the only way to fix the problem is to change the way products and services are advertised. Instead of commercial breaks, the shows are going to have to integrate the commercials with the programming itself. IE have captain of enterprise drink coca-cola, or just make money on the selling of Enterprise products (stuffed starship). The same model that Nick, PBS, etc. uses. They make all their money on merchandise.
From the website! Since a lunar day-night cycle runs for 29.53 Earth days, robots must be built to survive two weeks of worse-than-Arctic-cold followed by two weeks of boiling-water heat. It is the long periods in each extreme that make it hard to find ways to survive - batteries for heaters, for example, must keep working without a solar recharge for more than 14 days straight. !!!! Don't they know there is no day or night on the moon, the same side always is towards the sun!!! (Except I guess if you call a lunar eclipse night!) Increadible!!!!!

This is how I originally learned to manage my tasks as well. It's a good system.

Those were the days.

Yah, the hardware that I am aware of is here.. It includes 4 cards, and I'm working on more leads. If you have updates please let me know.
